Title: Max size HD using PhatHack DMS tool 2.10
Post by: snarbles on May 09, 2008, 10:35:40 PM
What is the maximum size hard drive I can upgrade my DMS currently.  I read in a previous thread the limit was for only up to 127 Gigs.  Do the new tools exceed this previous maximum?  I am currently buying a phatbox with 20Gigs and want to replace the drive soon with as large a drive as possible with the current hack.

Thanks  :)

There is no limit to the size of drive you can use with the DMS tools.
At present the last tested drive stands at 250GB only because no-one has tried anything bigger.

When buying a drive the recommendation is stick to 5400RPM drives.

I'd also wait for v2.12 of the tools (not far off now) to save wasting space, as 2.10 is wasting a bit of space on new DMS'.

Not in any rush, but when do you think 2.12 will be available?  I am planning to update my box soon, but if it's only a few weeks away I'll just wait for 2.12.

As far as I know there's one outstanding issue that I need to get ironed out - but this is a single user with usability issues with PMM / PartitionMagic and may not actually be a problem at all.

I'm hoping by the end of next week at the latest providing something new doesn't crop up!

By 'a bit of space' he means like 1mb or something equally insignificant.... you don't really need to wait ;)
