Maximum Size of Dynamic Volume - NTFS 3.1 - MBR style

Assuming these three statements true for NTFS 3.1 for MBR style
volumes on 32-bit Windows:
a) Maximum size of dynamic volume is "maximum volume size of the file
system used to format the volume." (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/bb457110.aspx)
b) Maximum size for NTFS volume is 2^32 clusters (minus a cluster).
Some examples:
For 64 KB cluster, max size of NTFS volume is 256 TB.
For 4 KB cluster, max size of NTFS volume is 16 TB.
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/storage/
getstorfacts.mspx)
c) Maximum size of Basic volume is 2TB regardless of cluster size.
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457110.aspx)
-------------------------
I have a Basic Volume of 2.5TB with MBR style partition table.
(Hardware RAID - Promise SuperTrak 8350 ) It seems to "die" after a
period of time. I think it happens when I fill it past 2TB--this is
being tested as I write this message? (Also, sparing the details, the
array is OK and the individual drives are OK)
If I create a dynamic volume MBR style on 32 bit windows, would this
solve the problem?
