[rescue] even larger disks in a SSA

I tried out a couple of 146G drives in the SSA I have here. The results 
look pretty promising:

Total disk cylinders available: 65533 + 2 (reserved cylinders)

Part     Tag  Flag   Cylinders     Size       Blocks
0       root  wm     0 -    60    129.62MB    (61/0/0)       265472
1       swap  wu    61 -   121    129.62MB    (61/0/0)       265472
2     backup  wu     0 - 65532    135.99GB    (65533/0/0) 285199616
3 unassigned  wm     0              0         (0/0/0)             0
4 unassigned  wm     0              0         (0/0/0)             0
5 unassigned  wm     0              0         (0/0/0)             0
6        usr  wm   122 - 65532    135.74GB    (65411/0/0) 284668672
7 unassigned  wm     0              0         (0/0/0)             0

Does this really mean that I can put pretty much any sized disks in this 
SSA? 136G x 30 disks is like 4TB or something. Even if the heat is too 
much and only half the slots are filled, that is still 2TB. Though, I 
have to remember that the array <-> machine interface is 250MB/sec or so?
