Format a 160GB drive for use with a G4/400MHz
Authored by: ginoledesma on Apr 22, '04 12:43:19PM
Not necessarily. Some Oxford 911-based Firewire drive enclosures still have the 128GB-limit. The FireWire chipset has to explicitly support the ATA-6 protocol. The earlier OX911-based enclosures only support ATA-5 (which supported drives as large as 137GB). Later OX911-based enclosures shipped with ATA-6 support, but you'll have to dig around to find out if the enclosure you're getting indeed supports this. Those made by Wiebetech and OWC nowadays support ATA-6.
