Stupid question time. I could not find anything related in the FAQ or the hardware database online.
Is the 128G (or 137G if you count like a hard drive manufacturer) ATA hard drive limitation a problem with the interface hardware or the software driver?
So, if I get a 250G hard drive can I expect SuSE 9.2 to be able to use all of it?
On the assumption this is an interface problem is there a list of supported ATA interfaces/chipsets that SuSE 9.2 can use?
That's a hard limit, unless the inteface changes to include more than 28 sector address bits.
If this is the case, how can manufacturers justify producing "250MB" IDE ATA dives?
I have no problems with a parallell ATA 160GB drive, is this 128GB limit for serial ATA?
Hmm.. All I can say is, I have a 300GB S-ATA Maxtor drive and it's working (with no problems so far) with this Silicon Image chipset (?) that is on ASUS P4C800-Deluxe... Anyway, IOW, that's not a limit for S-ATA. -- - E - on SUSE 9.1 | blackbox 0.65 | copperwalls was here ;) "Those knowing your name will trust in you." - Psalms 9:10
