    The solution is to cripple the drives to 150MB/s with a jumper and then these larger SATA2 drives will work with Apple’s RAID Card.

    This can be done by jumping the 5 and 6 pin on the Western Digital’s and the 1st and second pin on the Seagate’s.

    Just google Seagate or Western Digital 150MB/s jumper.

    worked for me.

    So, now I have RAID 5 with nearly 4TB worth of space.

    Good Luck!

    Forgot to clarify:

    We tried 1.5TB drives in all 3 bays.
    then
    We tried 2TB drives in all 3 bays.
