On SunOS the maximum partition size is 2 Gbytes and the maximum number of partitions is 7 so the largest RAID set is 14 Gbytes. However, in reality, if the customer uses 4 Gbyte drives, then the maximum will be 3x4Gb = 12Gbyte. On Solaris, the maximum number of partitions is still 7.

The largest disk size Z Microsystems currently sells is 72 GB so the largest RAID set is 432 GB (6x72S GB) plus 1 drive for parity RAID 4 or RAID 5.
