Logically I agree, but my real world experience differs.
I know that we had a number of SIL sata controllers that worked with 500GB drives fine and failed to work with 1 TB drives. I don't recall if they worked with 750 GB drives or not. We got a firmware update from SIL and updated our cards so I can no longer test that.
So far we have tested this firmware version with 1.5 TB drives. Haven't bought any 2 TiB drives yet.
While shopping for USB HD enclosures, I saw a few of them which specified a size limit well under 1 TB.
Ditto, I have a usb enclosure that has a 200mb limit, but it is several years old. I also have an external sata 2TB drive that is marvelous. With the pci-express card 300mb/s seems like another *internal* drive. (hot pluggable). Gave us$109 for the drive at Frys in Indianapolis. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
