Hi -

Anyone using 500GB hard drives with a Promise UltraTrak SX4000? I have
searched Promise's web site and talked with their tech support and they
have only tested 400GB drives. I would like to hear from anyone using
500GB drives with their SX4000. Are you using Hitachis? Seagates? Have
you had any problems?

Thanks,

400GB is within the range of upto ~550GB (3FFFFFFFh blocks) without having to use an extra address bit, so you should be safe.

You forgot to mention the Promise SX-series of RAID cards is about the
worst on the planet.

You'd get better performance from a Filofax.
