Thread: (Old) hardware compatibility ?

-

hello everyone,

new forum, new(ish) linux / ubuntu
many people seem doing these days, i've decided setup small file server @ home, (re)using old pc laying around house.
pc based on ecs kt600-a (v1.0) mb amd athlon xp 2200+ processor , 512mb ram. have installed ubuntu 10.04 server on brandnew wd 320 gb pata hdd , works charm (ssh, samba, mediatomb, transmission). mobo has 2 builtin sata (1.5gb/s) ports , added pci-sata controller board has 4 ports available(also 1.5gb/s). controller bit redundant, don't ask (i intending use another, older mobo initially). now, here question : want use 2tb hdd's expand storage space, mother board manufacturer says mobo recognizes hdd's 400gb in size see website. limitation due onboard sata controller chipset, or newer sil3114 controller chipset (the 1 on pci sata controller board) able see bigger disks?
second question : hdd's can find on market nowadays either sataii (3gb/s) or sataiii (6gb/s). work flawlessly controller (sil3114) or should for/avoid models ?

many answers, sorry long post

best !

sata3 backwards compatible sata2, , should compatible sata1 well.

storage depends on controller. if using expansion card, sil3114 controller sets limits.
