Proliant DL380 G4 with two MSA 20s attached

the MSA 20's have 12 - 250gb sata drives. When I configure for RAID 5, 4 drives are left out due to limits on the size of the RAID. Is there a way to increase the size limit so I can use all 12 drives?

I do not think it's possible to create one array using all 12 drives. There is a limit of 2TB on the Parallel SCSI protocol.

You would have to create 2 x RAID5 arrays with 6 disks and then span them in the OS.
