Biggest hard disk for : Deskpro EN P733 ?
Hi,
A workstation need to have the biggest storage capacity available to it. The workstation is a Compaq Deskpro EN P733. The reason for the need is to store huge logfiles. I wonder if the latest hard drives will work with it, say ,those 300 GB ones ? I've tried looking for this information on Compaq's website, but it only lists 20 GB as the biggest hard disk for that particular model. If you know the biggest hard disk capacity for this model, please let me know as well. Many thanks, Harry |

I doubt any PIII has 48-bit LBA support so you probably are limited to
127GB. HH "Harry Sufehmi" wrote in message om... Hi, A workstation need to have the biggest storage capacity available to it. The workstation is a Compaq Deskpro EN P733.

Unless you add a PCI IDE card capable of 48-bit LBA
Remember the 300GB drives are only 5400 rpm. The 250GB are 7200 rpm. "HH" wrote in message ... I doubt any PIII has 48-bit LBA support so you probably are limited to 127GB.

That's not a problem actually, since mostly it'll only store those huge logfiles. It won't do anything disk-intensive (well, rarely) "HH" wrote in message ...
