GIGABYTE GA-MA74GM-S2 - Thumbs up


Recommended Posts

Success!  ( I pretty sure.... just would have liked to see all my 1.5TB drives have numbers the same ie. XXXXXX/XXXXXX )

 

root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sda

 

/dev/sda:

max sectors   = 18446744072344861488/2930277168, HPA setting seems invalid

root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sdb

 

/dev/sdb:

max sectors   = 18446744072344861488/2930277168, HPA setting seems invalid

root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sdc

 

/dev/sdc:

max sectors   = 1465149168/1465149168, HPA is disabled

root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sdd

 

/dev/sdd:

max sectors   = 1953525168/1953525168, HPA is disabled

root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sde

 

/dev/sde:

max sectors   = 18446744072344861488/2930277168, HPA setting seems invalid

root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sdf

 

/dev/sdf:

max sectors   = 18446744072344861488/2930277168, HPA setting seems invalid

 

 

Congratulations.  Yes, it looks like the HPAs are gone.  The strange "native" value is a bug of some kind in displaying the "native" value.  I expect if will be fixed in some future Linux version.

There is NO way you have 18446744072344861488 sectors as the native size, even if they were only 1 byte wide sectors... (we can only wish disks were that big)

18446744072344861488 bytes

18446744072344861      Kilobytes

18446744072344          Megabytes

18446744072                Gigabytes

18446744                    Terabytes

18446                          Petabytes

18                              Exabytes

Of course, you might have several of those new 18 Exabyte drives that newegg has not yet offered to the rest of us.  :D :D :D

Sure would hold a lot of MP3 files.

I need a lot of storage for my "home videos".    I have such a good HD camera, you can see the atoms that my body is made from.  The 5,000,000X zoom shows a lot of detail! :)

 

Anyone who has installed a AOC-SASLP-MV8 SATA card, do you recall if you had to make any changes to the BIOS or did it just work?

You sure you do not work for the CSI TV show?  They frequently zoom in on images to read the fine-print from several miles away.  (They must use the same zoom technology. ) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
