Max size for IDE raid 0

[DarkSoul]

I am going to set up a reid 0 on a new machine i plan to build. I know there is a 137GB cap on the size of an IDE drive. Does that cap also apply to an IDE raid?

The physical limit of the drives limit the RAID array. If the max for the drives are 137GB then the max for a 2 drive RAID 0 would be 274 GB. As far as a file system limit in case you want the OS to see the array as one drive then as long as you use FAT32 of NTFS you won't reach a limit until you get into terabytes. (one exception would be if your using NT 40 setup routine which uses VFAT to translate to a new NTFS partation. This contition limits setup to 4098 MB for creating the Boot partition - not an issue with Win2k)
