T410 supported drive size limits
I have a T410 with an H700 SAS/SATA controller and I would like to install 4 x 8TB drives. However, the documentation says the server only supports up to 4TB drives. Is that still true? Will a BIOS upgrade fix that limit? Will drives larger that 4TB absolutely NOT work?
Thanks
Jerry
Yes, but it didn't answer my question. I know that 4TB is supported but can larger dives be used unofficially / unsupported either with or without a BIOS update. I wonder if the 4TB limit was simply based on 4TB was the largest drive you could get at the time the T410 was manufactured.

I can't confirm that I'm afraid. What I know is what's not on the documentation is not tested by Dell.

I am curious, I have some 5tb drives I want to use but I want to see if anyone else had success first! I wonder if it is a physical issue or a s/w one - for example format the HDD to be a 4tb drive even though it is physically a 5tb drive...
