It does not look like it does...
From HDD Support for 2.5TB, 3TB Drives and Beyond (Article is recent - Mar 31 2011, 5:21 PM EDT):
It has not yet for PERC 5 controllers, according to previous question Perc 5/i and 3TB drives?
I also went through the Driver/Firmware upgrades for the PERC controllers, and there is no mention of >2TB Hard drives.
Also, there's nothing to say that Dell won't release firmware to do such--but I think that is unlikely as well. If you do need that about going to the H700 or H800 controllers?
