Default Re: Snap 4500

Yes, those are the converts. Take note to limited space, he had to move a cap(?) on the sled, vert to horz to make every thing fit. I don't know what he did to get every thing in the small space. You way want to see if you can find the thread.

Once you convert to SATA the IDE restriction is lifted. The current restriction is that mfg are not make HD capacity over 500gig in ide. If they made 1T in ide the 4500 could handle it just fine. Some one may but I did not find it. I did not look at Samsung or some other lines.

The Ironic of all of this is that the IDE is converted to SATA, atleast on the expansion units.
