Large Capacity Drives
Meeting the technological challenges of 3 TB SATA hard drive implementation.
WD leads the way now offering a massive 3 TBs of storage capacity on a single drive. In a typical PC configuration, a drive may be connected as a primary boot drive, or as a secondary drive. Large capacity drives are no different, however, it is important to verify your system can support a large capacity drive before attempting to install it.
AV Applications
Considerations for Audio-Video (AV) Devices
It is important to verify whether specific AV products can support a large capacity drive before attempting installation. Most products that use storage have some type of operating system and system start up software that needs to take into account the size and the impact that size may have on the different layers of software contained within their products. Older systems using legacy operating systems and BIOSs that utilize the Master Boot Record (MBR) partition table scheme encounter a barrier at 2.19 TB.
