In most ways, this Barracuda XT is a typical 3.5-inch hard drive: It spins at 7,200 rpm (still the desktop standard) has 64MB of cache, and supports the new 6-Gbps SATA III technology for top-speed data transfers. But to take advantage of its full extra-large capacity, you need to deal with the logical block addressing issue that occurs with hard drives over 2.19TB. With the first 3TB drive on the market, the Western Digital Caviar Green , Western Digital included a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) card that ensured every PC knew how to talk to the drive. Because Asus manufactures other PC components, it hammered out a software program called Disk Unlocker that opened up the space between 2.19TB and 3TB—but only on Asus motherboards.
