I'm struggling to name one period. They're rarer than hen's teeth still but should be more readily available next year.
Surely if you can stretch to 4 way SLI then you can stretch to an SSD boot drive which means no need for UEFI.

The sandy bridge asus boards will have uefi when they come out. I think it's next year.
You shouldn't be booting off these though if you are considering 4 way sli, rather, at least 1 ssd.

Use a small ssd for your os/programs, and the larger old type of hard drive as a storage volume.
ok, drive initialised using guid, win7 ultimate (x64) os using as a storage drive.
I have an asus striker ii formula mobo and can only see 746G of this 3TB drive :'(
Please help, i have searched varios forums and read faq on the manufactureers site but still can only see 746g.
Drive is much lighter than i expected and even with the lid of the rack mount case i can hardly here it at all (even with ssd as main drive). Seems to be a v good bit of kit apart from the size prob. Id even settle for 2.2Tb rite now!

Thanks for the reply
That was one of the first things i did (before purchase). To the best of my knowlage I belive I meet all nessesary requirments :s
Correct partitions + os - the mobo is listed as compatible.
All availible updates from windows have been updated
Edit----> returning drive for refund.

Even with the bundled controller you don't see full capacity?
Edit: Ignore, mixed it up with WD's bundled controller.

nope, tried everythign, still bemused at the figure 746g though :s
Ocuk took it back and issued a prompt refund no problems. As ever splendid service. I now have 2xWD 2tb drives waiting for my next down time to be installed
I know its a bit late but there isn't a short stroke jumper on the drive is there?
And now we have a price drop
