1149272	2010-11-01 00:57:00	I'm thinking you mean 2.2+ TB, not GB.	inphinity (7274)
1149273	2010-11-01 00:59:00	Fixed :p	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1149274	2010-11-01 04:43:00	A bit misleading when they say "The best thing about Disk Unlocker is that it works with every ASUS motherboard, hassle free. " - But then list only certain chipsets... Still, looks like a pretty good program. I wonder how it works, just some kind of DDO software? I hope someone comes up with something that works on other brands as well...	Agent_24 (57)
1149275	2010-11-01 05:18:00	This is good to know, but then it raises other issues... how do you backup such a drive? Will the extra area be seen / recognised by backup/restore software? Is it treated as another partition? Just how much is visible if your OS goes belly-up? Pricespy show 3TB drives are now available.	Paul.Cov (425)
1149276	2010-11-01 10:15:00	Good points... Maybe it would be best to just use hardware and OS which natively support 3TB drives to minimise those kind of issues. Personally, I don't even have any 2TB drives yet, so I don't desperately need anything like this yet... By the time I do get around to buying something that big I expect it won't be a problem anymore	Agent_24 (57)
1149277	2010-11-01 18:59:00	You can use drives >2TB as long as you convert them to GPT, but can only boot Windows off such a drive if its a 64-bit edition of Vista or later and booting using EFI. Most recent Linux distros will boot fine from a GPT drive (with or without EFI) also.	inphinity (7274)
