My boss has one of those Touchsmart 600-1100 desktops from the 2010’s and he has a plethora of external hard drives to store all his movies and po…..um….movies…lol, and He wants to be able to consolidate a bit. This old pc has a ST350041 8AS SCSI Hard drive. its 500GB. He wants a 6TB but is that even reasonable? Hes not very computer literate and thinks all hard drives will fit all motherboards and they all cost $50-$120. Anyway i can get him at least 4TB? Even if its a little more? I’ll install it myself. I feel like i’m considering putting an FTL Drive on a horse. Also, these only take DDR3 ram right and only up to 8GB, right?
Hi, Here are the specifications for the PC that may help. You are correct that the max support memory is 8GB as long as there is a 64-bit OS installed, otherwise it is only the standard 4GB for 32-bit As regards to HDD capacity, it depends on what the BIOS is configured for which the user can’t alter. The specifications show 1TB as the largest capacity but you may get 2TB and can only try and check if more will work. It is sata II i.e. 3GB/sec
