Hi Rich,
I have 3 harddisks in my Digital Audio: 2 are 3,5" and 1 is
2,5" (connected with an adapter). So having several HDs is no
problem.
But could someone in the know post a clear answer to this
question: Do
large HDs work in the Digital Audio, with Tiger and/or Leopard? I’m
still doubtful whether creating partitions smaller than 128GB is
enough to make such HDs work.
I have about 2Tb in my DA. Two drives are SATA with a PCI SATA
controller.
You can't just create small partitions. On a stock DA it will only
recognize the FIRST 128Gb on the HD regardless of partitioning.
Using either of the work arounds you can either make one 128Gb
partition and make the rest a single large partition or you can
make it one large partition.
We touched on this before... My G4 Gigabit 400MHz has a Seagate 160GB
drive separated into three partitions of approx. 49.5 GB each. Just
curious as I took no special action when installing it. In fact I
did not even know of the supposed limitation at the time.
Thanks,
JT
