Default Re: Large IDE disks in a Netra X1


Hi,

thanks for confirming my statement.
However, just a minor detail: The limit is not exactly 137GB, but 128GB:
137GB is what the drive manufactures call the limit - programmers call it
128GB, or 131,072MB, or 134,217,728KB, or 137,438,953,472 bytes.

Regards,
Martin Bochnig

OT: the X1 has 2 ethernet ports,
so one could be used for NAS storage. if not already occupied.
guess to expensive for the OP:

We want to use it as an (unbacked up) NFS server for jumpstart &c,
that's the point.
