Hallo,
gibt es eine Möglichkeit herauszufinden wie groß die Festplatte maximal sein darf?
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.,
Product Name: EP45-DS3
Es soll keine SSD sein.
Möchte weiterhin Sata 2 oder wie das heissst.

Loading...Hello, lately my PC has been freezing after 10-20 minutes of use. The screen just freezes, and I can't do anything. I've had this problem for two months now, but I don't know what to do.
Hello everyone, I'm wondering if my PC is still up to date and what I could improve inexpensively! At the end of 2019, I put together my PC with a friend who knows a lot about it and had him assemble it. Motherboard: MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX B450 Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (3400MHz, 6…
Hi, I have a gaming laptop, but the only problem is that the 500 GB of total storage isn't enough. So I wanted to buy an external SSD or hard drive. Which is more worthwhile? SSDs are more expensive but faster, while hard drives are cheaper but a bit slower, and games take longer to…
I'm currently digitizing my DVD collection and saving it to a folder on my hard drive. At some point, I noticed that the number of tracks stopped increasing and froze – probably because they were overwritten. I can't explain this because I rename each file according to the title. Can someone explain to me what's…
My new laptop is broken, but it's not my fault. My first question is: I could only get it to turn on for a few seconds, and I put a flash drive in to back up a folder, then copied it. But it shut down again at 36 percent. So, what gets copied first: the…
Hello, I wanted to download Fortnite onto my iPad (9th generation, 64GB RAM). I've already downloaded the Epic Games Store. When I open the Epic Games Store and want to download Fortnite, it says I need 4 GB of RAM. It says online that an iPad (9th generation, 64GB RAM) has 3 GB of RAM….
The board is historically valuable.
2TB, this is the maximum supported size for hard drives that are initialized with an MBR.
if you have installed a current Windows in the 64 bit variants, you can also initialize the hard drive with GPT and then also use correspondingly larger hard drives… however, not to install Windows because your motherboard can no longer respond to it as a boot drive.
MBR? What does that mean?
master boot record, and GPT stands for GUID Partition Table. both are simply different types for a partition table, which in turn is necessary for your computer to know where the running gear is on the hard disk. MBR is just an ancient standard, from a time when 2TB were still so inconceivable that you could not believe that there will ever be so many data throughout the world. However, it is also compatible with everything (i.e. with any operating system and therefore also older windwos versions). GPT is the successor of this standard winwos that are Windows 7 in the 64 bit variants. because your mainboard is still quite old you will not be able to install a operating system on a GPT hard drive. for a pure data rab, in addition to the already installed hard disk installed on the windows, however, it will go.
Why what about win 11
Windows 11 we with the old board nix.
And up to 2 TB are otherwise not a problem.
Win 7 win 11 and inux mint are installed on the hard drive. Can all be 2 tb. Support?
2 TB go in any case, more goes only as an additional hard drive and if your operating system supports this.
So 2 zterrabyte can I install and use?
Hello!
You can basically use any “Sata3” SSD, or -HDD that is on the market.
The size basically does not matter, rather the purchase price.
And up to 2TB large HDDs and SSDs can partition with the classic “MBR” boot sector. The “GPT” variant must be used. Of this, however, (probably) can no longer be booted. (At least I’ve read some of the “problems” in this regard.)
However, I would recommend building a “small” Sata3-SSD for the operating system, a few programs and possibly also a few “smaller” games.
250GB or 500GB are enough for this.
A (sensual) “larger” Sata3-HDD (2-4TB) can then be Supplement and as Datagrain to be built. This also holds within limits financially.
Unfortunately, on your old motherboard you can’t build a powerful CPU (from today’s point of view).
Recommended I would have been C2Q Q9650 (4x3GHz, 95W), or the equivalent but more efficient Xeon E5450 (4x3GHz, 80W / mod. 771 =>775). And it’s just you GDR2-Ram possible, but up to 16GB.
However, the existing older “Sata2” technique (~250MB/s) is compatible with the more modern Sata3 technique. These HDDs and SSDs are braked “only” on the Sata2 speed.
But I wouldn’t invest too much here. A Win11 is therefore definitely not possible and a Win10 that is likely to run will expire in 2025. At the latest we have Linux the only logical choice.
But if you want to build a Linux server, or -NAS with a “Raid-Verbund”, you need one more powerful Sata controller, with one real “Hardware-Raid”. (A usually cheaper controller with a “software raid” is much too slow here.)
For this, the longer PCIe(8x) slot would offer. PCIe controllers for the “4x” standard can also be inserted. I believe that even a powerful Sata3-Raid controller would be conceivable. The really good models “right” be expensive.
And then 2 to 4 big NAS HDDs with 4-8TB each Single capacity in Raid1 or Raid5 association…
It’s all right very much on it! And larger HDDs are also feasible, but also very much more expensive.
Myself built up a relatively similar system in 2016 as a “work” and “gaming” computer. This Upgrade has replaced my Pentium4 (3,2GHz) very cheap from 2005.
With me a (ready) fashioned Xeon E5450 (4x3GHz) is in use (=> Source: eBay).
I underwolted this (0,95-1,05V) and therefore this now uses only approx. 23-29W (according to measurement software). This CPU is also very easy to cool.
In addition, ASRock Board 2x4GB GDR3 installed and as Graka I use a GTX 1050ti (4GB). But the previous GTX 750ti (2GB) was not bad either. I have a 22″ monitor with 1680×1050 (from 2007) standing here.
A completely new system (based on an R7-5700x) has already reached the final stage of planning. I’m just waiting for a “precision” as low as possible.
Then this old C2Q will mainly be used as a Linux computer.
An old Win7 and maybe also a WinXP will then also be installed to be able to play older games with it in an emergency. Maybe I can even get some Win98 native to run…

Martin
Thank you for the very detailed info. So if I take 1 tb I can partition it quite normally?
Jepp!
Tip: If you use a fast rotating HDD with 7200U/min instead of the usual 5400U/min, you will also get a little more power.
For example, a current Sata3-HDD: WD Blue 1TB (7200U/min)
And I have installed a Sata3-MLC-SSD (250GB) and two “WD 1000 Caviar Black Edition (7200 rpm, Sata2)”. Both came from my P4 and ran with WinXP-home/32bi) (=> Sata1-Technik! => max. 128MB/s).
With me, this C2Q system was actually only intended as a “transition solution”.
And originally I wanted to build a Core2Duo on my P4’s MSI OEM board. But there was no suitable bios update from Medion…
So I was looking for another but relatively similar motherboard. And found this fashioned Xeon in parallel.
The part went so well that I’m still working with it and playing.
But by now, more and more borders are “cracked”. Especially for more current and more powerful games.
SSDs can also connect to Sata.
How big a volume can be depends on operating system. With NTFS and windoof 10 knew 8Petabyte. In older versions up to 256Terabyte.
does not want
You don’t have to. My answer is valid for both.
