Looks like the whole disk (more or less) is available to the array, if
the results of dd are anything to go by:
# time dd if=/dev/dsk/c2t5d4s2 of=/dev/null bs=10000k
14259+1 records in
14259+1 records out
real 2:32:15.0
user 0.5
sys 44:21.6
So it would appear that, given sufficient funds and sufficient cooling,
I could populate my SSA with 146G drives and have over 4TB of storage in
it. More likely I will just start collecting whatever 4, 9 and 18G
drives I can find and see what I can put together.
