It's A Digital Disease!

I have an older Areca Raid-card. The manual claims it supports very large drives with 48 bit LBA, but i also found a google cached search result from the areca site that claims the following:

"The maximum capacity of HDDs for Areca RAID controller's old version firmware supports up to 16TB capacity. From firmware version V156-20190124...."

The newest firmware for the card is older than v156, but i don't know if this quote is for a particular card or in general, I can't find a complete changelog in the site for the changelog of the card I have.

So i know it is a bit of a long shot, but has anyone tried a larger than 16TB drive on a Areaca 1260-card or something of around that age? And did it work?
