DigitalDivide Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I have an older mb, the ASUS P5PL2 M, http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5PL2/specifications/. I was thinking of upgrading some of my drives to the new WD Red 6TB drives but not sure if my mb would recognize it. If I buy the drive and can't use it, I would have to return it but pay a restocking fee which I would rather avoid. I have no other use for the drive outside of my array, so thought I would check if anyone might have the answer. Quote Link to comment
bkastner Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Yes, it should without issue. There was a barrier at 2TB ages ago, but any MB that recognizes >2TB disks (which should be any MB in the last 10+ years) will handle any larger size drive as well. Quote Link to comment
tdallen Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 My P5B handles them fine. Quote Link to comment
