Hello all. In the past I have had issues with WHS and I reacted with some level of abrasiveness towards MS and their engineers. Now I really hope in this 2nd generation product we can forget about our past issues and move forward with a next generation product. Now that having been said is there a pathway for us to use 3TB drives in WHS Vail?

I'd love to try the beta, I would like to discuss on another thread what sort of recommendations people have for a MB and hardware if we were to build a future looking system for Vail.

MS has stated on the MS forums that they've successfully tested Vail with 3TB drives and 8TB raid arrays.

But don't we need an MB with EFI?

My understanding is that EFI is only required to boot off of a GPT drive.

So the 3TB drives won't work with the HP MSS boxes?

I would not have expected issues with VAIL since I had no issues with Vista a couple of RAID 5 arrays at 6TB and 8TB. Or was I thinking incorrectly?
