8. Sector Size – Also known as VSS (Variable Sector Size), this option allows you to
specify the sector size of the array, for use With Windows operating systems.
Older, 32-bit versions of Windows do not support volumes over 2TB in size,
unless the sector size is altered. This option is not needed for Windows XP 64,
Win2003 (SP1), Windows 2008, or Windows Vista. These operating systems
support larger volumes, and introduce a partitioning method known as GPT
(GUID Partition table). Use GPT when creating arrays over 2TB in size. For
Windows 2000, or 32-bit versions of XP, refer to the following chart:
512B – Default sector size (supports up to 2TB). Use this setting for Windows OS
that support GPT.
1K – Supports arrays up to 4TB
2K – Supports arrays up to 8TB
4K – Supports arrays up to 16TB
Highlight the appropriate Sector Size, and press Enter to create the array.
