Are USB hard drive sizes limited by motherboard hard drive controller?
I'm looking to put an expansion EIDE controller in my dad's desktop so it can handle a new 500 GB drive (evidently the motherboard EIDE controller has the 137 GB limit). He got a 500 GB USB hard drive for it, too, and I was wondering if that would work with the computer (with the new controller card in). Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong, I don't know, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Also, if it would work, would it be because of the new controller card, or not?
