My 1 Terabyte Hard Drive...Patchable?

**tamzarian** · 06-15-2005,09:46 PM

Is there a way to patch HDloader to take 1 Terabyte of data? I thought I solved my problems when I bought this, If I can get this to work, I never have to buy another hard drive again!

try the lba 48bit patch...

I was thinking about that... But I don't know if it will work. That would suck if I format my hard drive down to 200 MB or something.

It has been stated that the patch is "in theory" supposed to work for up to 2TB.

is there a single drive in that case?... or is it a RAID setup?

Plus if you want to use that with USB Advance or it's counterpart... you would have better speed inputting the bytes to your PS2 by hand.... 01001100 01001111 01001100

The problem is not the size of the drive, as the 48-bit LBA patch takes care of that for HDLoader. The problem is how to connect it to the PS2, for use by HDLoader.

HDLoader can only use IDE drives, so if the drive inside that USB unit is not an IDE drive, then you can just forget about it.

This 1TB drive, is really four 250mb IDE drives, with a special
controller board to convert and merge the output to Firewire or
USB 2.0, it WILL NOT WORK on the PS2 USB 1.0 ports.

If the built-in hardware RAID reports itself as a single IDE drive, then it COULD work.

But I wouldn't do this anyway. Waste of money.

I decided to take the drive back to costco. I got a nice 120 gig drive instead.
