Max size for array on HTP 370

I have an abit hot rod pro raid card that uses the highpoint 370 chipset i want to know what the maximum sized is for a striped raid array on that chip. I was going to buy 2 61 gig drives but i am not sure that it will support over 120 gigs in an array.

I know that it supports hard disks up to 137 gigs so does that mean i can run 2x or 4x 137 gig drives?

well yea but they only say how big a drive it can support
it is just that somewhere i saw something about the max raid size being like 120 or 160 gigs but i was probably mistaken.
 
I have the old manual for it somewhere perhaps i should go find that or something.

Here's what I found
 
"The HPT370 supports Hard Drives over 40GB in size, up to 137GB"
 
Doesn't say anything about the maximum size of the Array. I'm assuming that statement means it can support discs with a max size of 137gb each..I guess.
