As you say, consumers aren't really in dire need of a terabyte of storage right now, and high end people and people with servers are going to want more than the slow IDE connection when things like SATA and SCSI are available. Re: Terabyte drives available soon Hardware and Software Hardware by jwenting 1TB may sound like a lot now, but I still remember buying my first PC in 1992 and people declaring me crazy for opting to get one with a 40MB drive.

Or you should've done that. You should try attaching 1 at the time, while the system is on. the sata drives are plug and play, they are detected automatically and instantly. Perfectly safe. If that doesn't work either, try a bios update. Re: Bios cannot detect new WD terabyte drive Hardware and Software Hardware by Magicianer Thanks for the reply. I attached them to both types.
