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, Win-

dows 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
