OWC Mercury Elite Pro Chapter 2 - System Setup

2.1 Hard Drive Assembly & Installation (continued)

2 SYSTEM SETUP

Since hard drives have been introduced with capacities greater than 2.2TB, the

industry has worked to resolve known capacity addressing limitations that date

back to the original design of the PC.

These limitations are caused by 32-bit denitions used for partition sizes and

logical block addresses (LBAs) resulting in a maximum addressable capacity size

of 2.199TB.

The most direct way to resolve this issue is to use Long LBAs. However, Long

LBAs are only supported in 64-bit operating systems, like Mac OS X, Windows 7

and Windows Vista. Users of older operating systems wishing to use these high-

capacity drives will need to limit the drive size to under 2.2TB to be able to use

the storage solution.

To limit the OWC Mercury Elite Pro’s maximum drive capacity to 2.2TB, ip the

dip switch (circled below) to the 1 position. The default position is ON meaning

volumes larger than 2.2TB are able to be created.

IMPORTANT - IF YOUR DRIVE IS LARGER THAN 2TB
