Hi All I had a few responses saying that the limit on the built in IDE of various Sun systems is 128Gb. This I new and the question hence was to try to get around this limit using USB. So far I have not been able to find a confirmation of using a PCI USB controller + large hard disk on an Ultra 5. My searches did however turn up a SCSI-IDE adapter which does support the >137Gb IDE disks. I purchased one yesterday and it works 100% with a standard PCI SCSI card fitted to the U5 (including booting). So if you want cheap large SCSI storage checkout the Acard range of adapters. See www.acard.com for details. Peter Original question ----------------- I have a customer who is trying to add some large 180Gb IDE disks in USB 2 chassis to his Ultra 5. Anyone tried this and can recommend controllers/versions of software etc. Thanks Peter _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Aug 20 09:34:14 2003
