Naki Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) 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, 2008 by Naki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 As long as it is not IDE you should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripken204 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 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.

Naki Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) 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.

the xt guy Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) 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, 2008 by the xt guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Wow 1.5TB Seagates seem really bad looking at those links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
