The max disk size for Gigabyte GA-8IRXP (Promise 20276 RAID chip)
What is the max disk size that Gigabyte GA-8IRXP with Promise 20276
RAID chip can support? I have a server PC built on Gigabyte GA-8IRXP motherboard that I have been running for solid 5 years. I am thinking about replacing the current five 120GB WD IDE disks with five IDE 320/500GB ones. I will use the new disks as raid 5 on the motherboard's on-board Promise raid controller. Some of Gigabyte GA-8IRXP features: 1. Socket 478 for Intel® Pentium®4 processor 2. Intel 845/ICH2 chipset 3. Promise 20276 RAID chip Source: Gigabyte GA-8IRXP support page http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...ProductID=1298 I am concerned that motherboard might be unable to support disks as large as 320/500GB. I checked out Gigabyte's GA-8IRXP but found nothing relevant to disk drive size limitation. Can the GA-8IRXP motherboard support 500GB disks natively? If not, is there workaround for it? The server is running Windows XP SP2. OS wise I am sure there is always patch to bypass any disk size limitation... Thanks for advising! |
