750GB limit? Why? Why do some older hard drive controller BIOSes have problems with drives larger than about 750GB or 1TB? IOW why are there limits at 750GB and 1TB, as there are at 8.4GB and 137GB? Some affected controllers use the VIA 6420, 6421, and 8237x SATA chips or Silicon Image 680 PATA chip. Silicon Image released a BI... 15 Apr 2010 13:37

These systems are stepped-si... 16 Apr 2010 00:45

SMART attribute #203 -- Run Out Cancel All the sources I can find suggest that the meaning of the Run Out Cancel SMART attribute (#203) is "Number of ECC errors". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.#Known_ATA_S.M.A.R.T._attributes This makes no sense to me.
