[QUOTE="Ryccardo, post: 8717049, member: 361367"] You see, a logical partition (don't confuse this definition with the one used in MBR partition tables - in APA it means "the partitions you see in wLaunchELF's HddManager") can be made of multiple physical partitions (which you can see in WinHiiip - pretty much the only good reason to use it nowadays :P), and the APA driver has to access all the 128MB-spaced blocks to find out what each of them contains - not only this is ridiculous due to seek times*, but when you have too many used partitions (approximately 80-150 GB) the list doesn't fit anymore in memory (2 MB - all loaded drivers - their working area), so the search has to be repeated for every partition mounting! * go SSD if you want the most practical workaround - the fact UDMA 4 is slower than even SATA 1 doesn't mean you can't save on seek times Apart from that, all official HDD-compatible software and older homebrews only support 28-bit addressing (limited to 137 GB) - do not use them on the same disk as 48-bit compatible software as there is a corruption risk if they try to use a partition that even partially exceeds that limit; and there may be issues with software that uses signed sector numbers after 1 TB, but I don't know much about that issue Always use HddManager of (a reasonably recent version of) wLaunchElf to format a disk to APA, it's the tool that best balances conformity to standards with 48-bit support :) [/QUOTE]
