Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / February 2006USB Enclosure Max Capacity
I have about a half-dozen USB external enclosures, acquired over the past year or so. These enclosures have no useful documentation. Is there any way to determine the maximum hard drive capacity an enclosure supports? Some utility that can read it's firmware, perhaps? And if I CAN determine capacity, is there any way to update the firmware to support larger drives? Thanks, Jack Humm, first one I grabbed off google says 500GB support (what are the odds?) http://www.meritline.com/galaxy-3500sasp-sata-external-enclosure.html > I have about a half-dozen USB external enclosures, acquired over the > past year or so.

Do it the "brute force" way: Temporarily connect a new 200+ GB HD in the case and see how much of it is visible. If only 137 GB, you have your answer... |
