I am bumping this thread because I too have the same question ... can I put
modern 3TB disks (hitachi deskstars) into an old x4500 ?
X4500 uses the LSI 1068e.
I think this applies to X4540, and I read that //X4500 uses Marvell/
/88SX6081 (SATA)
Mine certainly reports " Marvell serial-ATA #1-#6" in prtdiag, but I
failed to get
any indication of the chip via command-line.
And there was some marketing talk about ZFS being suitable, or even
incepted,
for commodity hardware, to get the "inexpensive" part back into ra*I*d.
AFAIK, that HBA does not support disks> 2TB for all possible firmware revs.
YMMV, based on the firmware installed.
And yes, this applies to any controller in general ;)
