November 20, 200817 yr I got an old mobo with NVidia NForce 4 SLI chipset, AMD Socket 939. Will a 1.5 TB, SATA2 HDD work? What about 1 TB? Edited November 21, 200817 yr by Naki
November 20, 200817 yr Most of the time you can see it in the release notes of a BIOS update, I would look there first, 2TB should be the limit.
November 24, 200817 yr You should be fine You wouldn't want IDE for a 1TB disk anyways Sata all the way.
November 25, 200817 yr DO NOT GET THE 1.5TB!!just yet at least, there have been many issues with it, there are rumors of new firmware that fixed the issue but i would not trust it just yet.go ahead and get a 1TB for now. i have 3 of the samsung F1s running in my server and they are great so far.
November 25, 200817 yr Author What issues? Can you provide a link?1 TB won't do. I wanna replace two 500 GB drives + one 300 GB with one 1.5 TB. 1.0 TB won't do that...
November 25, 200817 yr well first of all take a look at the reviews at newegghttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductRevie...N82E16822148337http://www.guru3d.com/news/freeze-issues-w...barracuda-hdd-/http://techreport.com/discussions.x/15863http://www.tomshardware.com/news/seagate-b...ezing,6558.htmlalso the error protection is 10x worse than all other drives..you can go ahead and get it if you want, i am just making sure that you are aware of the issue right now.

November 26, 200817 yr AFAIK, no IDE drives were ever made in 1TB size, to say nothing of 1.5TB. The largest IDE drive was a 750gb from Seagate (and Seagate is no longer manufacturing IDE drives, so the 750gb IDE is discontinued).BTW, I saw someone mention on the 'net that NTFS had a file size limit of 2.5TB. I couldn't find any other info to confirm this, so I assume it's incorrect (perhaps it's an OS size limitation? but no OS was mentioned in the post) Edited November 26, 200817 yr by the xt guy
