| 1106811 | 2010-06-04 11:31:00 | Hi, these products say 1TB may be the max size. Any truth in it? In the future I people would get larger ...... |

| 1106816 | 2010-06-06 01:29:00 | I have a 1.5TB drive in an enclosure that said max 1TB (and I have had no problems with it) so I guess it was the biggest capacity on the market when the enclosure was produced. | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 1106817 | 2010-06-06 10:44:00 | I have Vantec Nexstar eSATA docks - they work fine with 1.5 TB WD drives. The WD HDDs are jumpered for single partition as required for XP. (The 1.5TB WD drives get their extra capacity by using 4kiB sectors with more efficient error correction. The easiest way to use them with XP is to format them as one partition and jumper them as per instructions) |

| 1106818 | 2010-06-07 06:15:00 | Sometimes it is a chipset limitation, I have seen it with older enclosures, so just be aware of that. | Deimos (5715) | ||
| 1106819 | 2010-06-07 12:06:00 | Yeah most of the time there is a hardware limit . I haven't seen any yet that have upgradeable firmware either |
