I have just bought a WD 200GB and I'm faced with the issue of does the
4PCA3+ support 48 Bit LBA, can anyone shed any light on this for me?

I would imagine so, but I have no experience with such a drive on the
i875 ports. I can confirm they work fine on the HPT374 port(s).

I have a 4PCA3+ with two 250GB Hitachi drives and the full amount of space
is available.

But your OS must also support 48 Bit LBA. I'm running XP Pro and it does
support 48 Bit addressing, but you need to check if that option is turned
on. Do a search on Microsoft's site and you should get several references
indicating how to test if the option is turned on.

Hope this helps!

Ah, yes, perhaps I should mention I run Linux
