Maximum RAID 0 Hard Drive Size

I have read that some RAID controllers limit hard drive size to 120Mb each. I have looked everywhere I can think of and cannot find anything that tells me what controllers have what size limits.

I am going to build an Intel system based on either the 875 or 865 chipsets and I want to use two 160GB (320GB total) hard drives in RAID 0.

Anybody out there have any ideas?
 
The RAID shouldn't impose a limitation if it's recent at all. I think the limitation you are thinking of is a 127GB limit that came from some motherboard BIOS. Again, recent ones should not be a problem.

 
I'm running 2 100GB drives as raid0, so I don't know about the limit you are talking about. I've not heard of a limit on the size as long as you are using current hardware. Have you considered using smaller hds on the raid and additional hds as slave storage areas?
 
Thanks for the info. The article I was reading talked about some RAID controllers not being 48 bit so any single hard drive larger than 120 (240 total in RAID 0) would still show as a 120.

I am building a 875 chipset, 3.0 HT P-IV, with 2X160 (320GB total) RAID 0 for editing digital video.
