[QUOTE="rs2sensen, post: 137197, member: 10090"] Alright, I'm slightly confused. How it's looking, without getting an ATA Controller Chip, I won't be able to use more than 128 GB of the drive, no matter how I partition it. Is this correct? I partitioned it in 3 100GB parts by connecting it to a PC I have and doing it from there. When I put it back in the mac as a second slave drive, Disk Utility only saw two partitions. One at 100GB, one at 28GB. So, my question I guess is, if I want to use more than 128GB total, must I get the chip? [/QUOTE]
