I am running Windows XP 32-bit, which can only recognise drives up to 2TB in size using the default sector size of 512 bytes, so I intended to create the array and specify its logical sector size as 4KB which would allow expansion to 16TB in theory.</P><P></P><P>Unfortunately I can't find an option to specify this in the Intel RAID BIOS or the RST management console. After I create the array I can expand the "Advanced" option and see that the settings "Physical sector size" and "Logical sector size" are both set to 512 bytes, but I need a way to set "Logical sector size" to 4KB during array creation. Is there a way to do this?</P> Sun, 23 Jan 2011 22:27:15 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Setting-sector-size-on-ICH10DO/m-p/210227#M1690 idata 2011-01-23T22:27:15Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Setting-sector-size-on-ICH10DO/m-p/210228#M1691 <P>XP 32 bit dose not support GPT it only supports MBR.</P><P><A href="http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/gpt_faq.mspx">http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/gpt_faq.mspx</A> <A href="http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/gpt_faq.mspx">http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/gpt_faq.mspx</A></P><P></P><P>The "Physical sector size" and "Logical sector size" have nothing to do with limiting the array size to 2TB.</P><P></P><P>Note: Intel only supports an a array size past 2TB if it is a data only array which is to say you can't have a OS on it.</P> Mon, 24 Jan 2011 01:39:24 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Setting-sector-size-on-ICH10DO/m-p/210228#M1691 idata 2011-01-24T01:39:24Z
