HardDrive Question??

[ZeroZip]

How many hard drives will windows XP Pro support?? I am
going to have (9) SCSI3 drives and (2) IDE drives plus 3
CD-ROMS. So thats 14 drives total, with a possible 2 more
SATA drives in the future, will windows xp pro be able to
handle all this??

Yes. But will your power supply?

I'm assuming the IDE limit of 8 devices won't apply here.

 

[Jacky Luk]

Just out of curiosity, what is your business?

Hi

If you need to use so many HDD for storage, I would suggest you to use an ext. drawer type HDD rac
(Firewire or USB 2.0) so that you can change the HDD at any time
