Re: 3 To disk and "old" MB
I do not see any problems, why do you think in problems?, because is old?, if is because bios do not support 3TB, you need to try first or find a hack BIOS: http://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-A ... 3TB-drives
12.1.0.4 - Ingva (revision 7743) on SUPERMICRO X8SIL-F 8GB of ECC RAM, 11x3TB disk in 1 vdev = Vpool = 32TB Raw size , so 29TB usable size (I Have other NAS as Backup)

Re: 3 To disk and "old" MB
Yes I am worried about the bios, but I read that for data disk, bios dont need to be ready for 3to disk.
It is important to have a 3to bios ready if you want to boot the 3to disk
For me I boot on CF so...

Check out this forum http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id= ... uage=en-us
It seems rather hit or miss that it will work. No one is confirming.

Someone has got it working apparently in that forum but thats for the P5QL-E I'm not sure how old these boards are but the main problem is windows 7 wont read a 3TB boot disk from it unless you use some unlocker tool. As for nas4free.... I have a dell optiplex 745 that had three 3TB disks in it with no problem.

Re: 3 To disk and "old" MB
The BIOS hard drive size limitation is only on boot. Once you boot, the OS sees the drives just fine. So, install embedded to a USB flash, and you have no worries.
