I am getting ready to move my home Mac away from the G world to an
intel mini. My storage needs vastly outweigh (do bits have weight?)
the HDs available for the mini.
I just grabbed from OWC's Garage sale a Mercury Elite Pro AL Firewire
800/400/USB 2.0 dual drive enclosure. It has the Oxford 924 chipset.
The specs say it supports drives up to 1TB.
My guess is that when it was produced, there were no drives larger
than 1TB and it was not tested with anything larger, therefore the
1TB limit. My understanding with SATA is that it does not have the
same size limitations as the older PATA 66 and 100 (forgive the
simplification).
So, should this support larger drives? Yes, I have this question into
OWC's tech support.
Thanks,
Len
