Dell PowerEdge 1950 SATA storage limit?
I have a 16 terabyte hard drive I want to connect to my Dell Poweredge 1950 and I'm unsure if it will work or not. I know that the RAID Controller only supports up to a 2TB drive however does this apply to the SATA motherboard port as-well? The way it is setup is via taking power from a dedicated PSU for my 16TB drive and then connecting the drive directly to the SATA port via cable. Will the drive work as normal or will the computer. For reference I am running Proxmox on the server. Thank you

Hello thanks for choosing Dell and welcome to our community.
That 1950 mainboard SATA port isn't for disks.
Also this was released 18 years ago and I think the only way to know the answer is to hear from someone who has actually tried this.
Sorry I can't be of help this time. Please visit us anytime if you have any other questions.
