Dell Perc H310 IT Mode Max Disk Size

Does anyone know the max supported disk size for a Dell Perc H310 flashed to IT mode?

Thanks

When flashed with LSI IT mode firmware the PERC H310 shouldn't be any different from a regular SAS2008, which is capable of handling 4Kn drives.

Note that special steps are needed to flash the Mini/Mono H310 cards if you have one of those.
