Hitachi to Release Half TB Drive Soon

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thats-a-whole-lotta-nekkid dept.

    So Im not right, then? Without giving any reason why or information to the opposite, you jsut label me as wrong. My post is 100% correct. There ARE BIOS's that dont hand off addressing to the OS, and generally these BIOS's are the same ones that have the 137GB limit, and yes I understand that there are OSes that exaggerate this problem, but I was pointing out to the grandparent that the problem does exist in BIOS's alone, regardless of the fact he may not have seen it. Go back to your hole please, you dont belong out here.
