    Kind of an old post, but I can’t seem to find a direct answer for my question. Hope you are still out there and can answer this.

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro. I recently installed 4 x 3TB drives. I have an Apple RAID card from that time frame and I am able to only get 2.2TB usable from each drive. I am assuming it is the RAID card’s limitation? I am running a RAID5, but am not sure if I really require that configuration.

    My goal is to create ONE large drive (which is also my startup disk) and combine the four 3TB drives. Is this possible without a RAID card? And if so, what RAID configuration would I be able to create just using Disk Utility?

    I use a DroboPro for back ups so the RAID5 redundancy may not be as important to me know as it was when I first got the machine in May 2008.
