Nas motherboard hard drive support

Sam Rutman · Apr 8, 2016

Hi I currently have a nas with a msi motherboard it's a dka790gx platinum. I currently have 2 1tb drives in there right now and was wondering if this motherboard will support 4tb hard drives. The hard drives would just be used as storage for the nas I already checked the manual and the msi website and I haven't found anywhere the max hard drive capacity.

thank you if i add like a lsi sata card can i overcome this limitation

popatim · Apr 11, 2016

yes, its a limitation of the controller & bios. An add-in card would bypass those and leave you under windows control.

Yup. I use am ibm M1015 flashed to IT mode so that gives me 8 sata ports (instead of raid ports). its about $100 used.
