I need to get a bigger drive for my BP6-based system. I'm running the RU BIOS without HPT366. I e-mailed ABit and they told me that the BP6 will only support a 75GB drive, but from reading these threads it seems that plenty of people are using larger drives. I want to get at least 120GB, I don't want to use the HPT366 (nothing bad happened, but judging by all the horror stories it was only a matter of time) and I can't afford a separate controller card because nobody local stocks them, and after tax and delivery I'm looking at $80 Cdn for the cheapest one - almost as much as the drive itself.
So, I want to get some idea of the success others have had. I would be very grateful if people could post:
1) Drive model and size
2) Controller (ATA33, HPT366, or nonstandard controller)
3) Any gotchas or workarounds you had to do to get it working, problems installing, formatting, pickiness in chain location or whatever.
Thanks in advance!
