Storage Solutions Question on A8V deluxe and large capacity SATA II HDDs

[sydras]

I'm thinking of installing a new 1TB or 1.5TB HDD on my Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard. I have a RAID 0 setup on my VIA 8237R controller that I would be preserved. The new HDD would go on my Promise 20378 RAID controller in non RAID mode.

I'm a little concerned on whether these new SATA II HDDs would be detected.
Can anyone have any experience installing large capacity hard disks on this motherboard please comment?

Ok, anyone still using the A8V deluxe on this forum?

i am using 750gb seagate sataII's with the jumper set to sata 150 on a k8n which iirc is older than the a8v deluxe so it should work i guess

The Promise controller is a bit fussy as per this thread :

Promise 20378 problem - cannot find SATA HDD - PlanetAMD64

As per a SATA 3Gb/s drive's backward compatibility, as long as your hard disk provides you with the SATA 1.5Gb/s limiting jumper you will positively be fine, else its down to the controller. The VIA 8237 southbridge has been confirmed as not compatible with the 3Gb/s standard; no clue about the Promise controller.
