VSS – Variable Sector Size
Variable Sector size allows you specify the sector size when creating a RAID array.
This feature allows older, 32-bit versions of Windows 2000 and XP to support volumes over 2TB. This
feature is limited to data volumes – boot volumes are still limited to 2TB in size. In addition, some types of
data management or backup software may not recognize the array properly, as they were designed to work
with the default Window’s sector size of 512B.
Sector Size
Capacity
512B 2TB
1K 2-4TB
2K 4-8TB
4K 8-16TB
Using VSS
1. The VSS option is provided towards the bottom of the Create Array menu. In this example a 4-disk
RAID 0 array was created, using 1TB hard disks. A sector size of 1K is required for array with a
capacity of 1-4TB.
