Hello and Good Day, I'm still using my old motherboard E350M1/USB3 Zacate as my streaming server at home. When I bought my this board, 1TB HDD is so far the largest capacity that time and this board support it, then after a year, I bought higher capacity board 2x3TB storage and still its supported. Now, I'm planning for another upgrade and I want to put 3x6TB HDD or 3x8TB HDD to my system. The question is, is there anyone here tried larger capacity HDD with E350M1/USB3 Zacate board? These are the HDD I am planning to buy for upgrade. Desktop HDD 8 TB - ST8000DM002 Desktop HDD 6 TB - ST6000DM001 TIA. |

I don't have your E350M1/USB3 board, but you can use very large capacity HDDs with it. If you are using 3TB HDDs with it now, even larger HDDs will work fine too. As long as you are formatting the large capacity HDDs as GPT, you can access/address all of their space. A mother board does not limit the size of HDDs you can use. You must be doing that now with the 3TB HDDs. I don't understand what you meant by, "I bought higher capacity board 2x3TB storage... ", the part about higher capacity board? Or did you mean just higher capacity HDDs? ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">
