how wrong is that... i mean my 2200 with 2 300gig drives holds more than my 4 drive 4100? there must be a way, i refuse to accept this 
i dont like 2200's , they are just too slow, moving large files takes too long. |
Snap lists a replacement drive for the 4100 that is 160GB. I know the promise controllers had a bios update but they were pci add in cards and many mobos with the chip on it, got the update through the system bios. My Asus A7V has the same chip but I have always used SCSI since day one anyway. We already know the controller can handle LBA48 if it is allowed to do so. I have never tried over 120GB on mine yet. I too am liking the Seagates with the new 5 year warranty just like all good scsi drives have always had. Maybe they don't use cheap heads on ide drives which is common practice and hence the usual 1 year warranty and much lower price. A bios update would be nice if it was needed but how? I see a header right next to the intel flash chip that holds the os itself. This header looks similar to an ide header. This must have something they connect to it at the factory when you wipe your system out if an os upgrade is interrupted or something. Hmmmm.....
