Guys, 3 TB HDD can be installed on p55 mobo? My mobo is gigabyte p55a-ud4p.
This hdd is used for data only, not OS. I am planning to buy soon. |

You'll need a motherboard with a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) BIOS to support 2TB and above. QUOTE(letze @ Feb 23 2012, 10:06 PM) Guys, 3 TB HDD can be installed on p55 mobo?

I guess Intel Storage Controller drivers does play a part here. |

UEFI support for 3TB only needed for booting and OS purpose, should works without one as secondary storage.
Otherwise BIOS update, proper device driver, then partition them to works on 32-bit OS environment. More reading... http://www.pcworld.com/article/235088/ever...ard_drives.html Did I interpret it right? |

I'm not sure whether it can support or not. I guess Intel Storage Controller drivers does play a part here. UEFI supported mobos are only needed if booting from a HDD larger than 2TB.

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Feb 19 2012, 12:34 AM) I don't understand what's all the fuss about the RMA... Pay the USD 7.50. That's less than RM 25 ! They'll call you up and come to pick the drive up from you. They will send email updates when the drive is expected to be returned to you. When they return the drive, it will be nicely packed and sealed in a anti-static bag and will be delivered right to your doorstep. Don't need to go anywhere to the post office and pack the drive yourself. Don't even need to go to LYP and brave the traffic to send have Viewnet to send it for you. QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Feb 20 2012, 12:41 AM) i tried already. i jz follow the instruction on website, dun even need to follow the packing instruction, jz make sure the HDD is nicely packed and its anti static enough. pay the fee, they will send someone to collect the HDD from you. after that all u need to do is wait for ur replacement HDD, simple as that They will send the replacement unit to our doorstep? How are we going to pay them yar? through bank trf or? What if send in 2 unit rma units? They charge us twice of USD 7.50?  |

Has anyone had any experience with the Hitachi XL series? The price for a 2TB seems cheaper than WD/SG ones so it's kinda weird.
