If you want all possible, when formatting the drive, partition the drive so that no one partiton is greater than 2.2 TB. ![]() ![]() Due to a limitation of APM, max drive size supported is 2.2 TB. The G5 controller doesn't always properly autonegotiate, thus the need for the jumper.Īlso, to boot to a drive in a PPC machine, the Partition scheme must be APM.
