how big hdd with SCSI on Blizzard 2060

radzik · 02 February 2010, 11:11

I bought a SCSI-IDE adapter, and very it works nice with 40 GB drive with SCIS in my Blizzard 2040. Can I use under SCSI BLIZZARD realy big drive >160 GB (500 GB?)?

SCSI can address up to 2 TB. Whether you can use IDE disks larger than 128 GB depends on the firmware of the SCSI-IDE adapter.

I will use R-IDSC-E/R, maybe someone know how big hdd can be with this adapter?

I bought a 160 GB drive (WD Caviar Blue) and it works with the SCSI adapter and it Bilizard 2060/2040, but ... Speed is about 4 MB/s (with Synchro and Reselection), but when I set manually (in unitcontrol2/Options) 10 Synchro MB/s (instead of 5) and 15 Bytes/Handshake (instead of 8) obtains the result of about 8.5 MB/s! How can I make these settings permanent (at boot?)?

Use SCSIConfig program to write settings to HD. For non writeable media like CD drives you can use UnitControl in user-startup as it accepts options in commandline too. Although it didn't accept all options I needed... my solution was to use MyUnitControl program from Aminet instead.

And remember that used filesystem limits partition sizes even when controller would support a lot bigger drives.
