	This does not happen often, but sometimes the driver caches do not get purged and the new SATA driver does not get loaded correctly from ROM. Try this: 1) Delete and empty trash for the following file and two directories: /System/Library/Extensions.mkext (a file) /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches (a directory) /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.romextensions (a directory) 2) Restart

454		I have connected a large hardware RAID volume (for example, a 4TB Fusion D400QR5) to a Sonnet Pro SATA card in a Macintosh, and it is showing up as only 2TB. Why?	Oct-14-09
	Under Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4, a volume greater than 2TB will show as a 2TB volume due to a limitation in Apple's ATA layer (just above the driver). Sonnet plans to provide a 10.4 fix in the next driver release. Under Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6, the full capacity of the RAID volume is available.
