Dell 2950 Perc5
Hi Guys,
I have the Perc5 raid controller in my 2950s but I have some 4tb drives (won't be read as above 2tb)
Problem is i need to get them all running and it will take too long to get the raid controllers in. Is there a way I can use them as 2tb drives in the servers for now, then upgrade the raid controller in the future and then have them seen as 4tb?

While not officially supported, some people have found ways to install the H700 into the 2950.

Bomteech,
The 2950 only has the ability to support up to 1.8TB internally as well. Also, the only raid controller family that will support the 2+Tb drives would be the H700,
Let me know if this helps.
