Therefore the firmware BIOS must also be modified to bootstap the OS.
Be happy with 400Gb in raid 5 or 533Gb stripped (but not recommended) all for less that £300 / 500$ at current ebay prices !!! - Or even buy two or three for way less money than the price of 1Tb devices and you can even share the load ...... for better performance and/or mirroring ..... now that's not so bad is it :-)))) ???
