QDI Kinetiz 7T & max HDD capacity

kinetiz7t · 10th Jan 2007, 10:38 PM

Hi all,

i have an older PC with the QDI Kinetiz 7T motherboard.
I'd like to replace my old system HDD (40GB) with a new one (IDE) but have no idea what is the maximum capacity this motherboard supports (i.e. if i can buy e.g. a 300 MB HDD).

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hmm.. You should have no problem supporting any IDE hard drive. Remember to go for IDE/PATA drives, instead of the new SATA drives.

If this is your motherboard

The bios allows you one of three modes NORMAL, LBA and LARGE. Normal would limit you to 528 MB, LBA is most likely the older standard which would limit you to 128 GB. For LARGE it's 7.8 GB.
