As in title. Does anyone know how big (maximum) hdd capacity can i attach to my GA-5AX motherboard? I have no PATA disks right now so I cannot test it myself 🙁 need 100% validated info.
I will guess 128gb. Personally I run a 32gb on my board just to weed out any comp. problems that might occour.
If you find a Seagate 120gb PATA drive and it will not work, then use Seatools to downsize to 32gb and it will run.
You can also try a SATA drive, with a SATA-PATA converter, and it will work too. If PATA is no were to be found.

i believe its 128gb as well. i tried 80gb and it worked, the next barrier is 128gb.
I can 100% validate a 20GB drive worked fine in my 4.1 without doing a BIOS update.
I believe there exists a patched BIOS file which probably included larger supported harddrive alongside getting 'official' K6-x+ support.

But the link is dead, will go search for the file and edit this reply, hold on 🤣

It's for the 5.2 board revision, but there is no 4.1 one listed on the Gigabyte legacy page (dunno if this matters much)
GA-5AX ?

Unless its ATA100 it does not support above 128gb, ATA100 gave us 48bit LBA. So to go over 128gb you would need an ATA 100 Controller, however if going that route just get a PCI SATA Controller to use your current drives anyway.
Thank You All Very Much for help! What a great group of people is here on Marvin! 😁
