For your interest I have been using a 256 Gb drive in my Iyonix as drive 5 for a cuple of years now. When I formatted it I just accepted all the defaults and it ended up formatted to 234Gb. Touch wood it has given me no troible and every now and again I check drives 4 and 5 (112Gb and 234Gb) using !DiscKnight and they have alwsy been OK. -- JayCee --- To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/iyonix-support Other info via //www.freelists.org/webpage/iyonix-support
