Question Can I install 10TB HDD in Dell T-7500 workstation ?

[dan99t]

My Dell T-7500 workstation spec sheet says 10 TB maximum storage capacity.

It has 4 drive bays & currently I am running 1 x 500 GB SSD + 1 x 2 TB SSD + 1 x 6 TB HDD.
Instead of 6 TB HDD, I want buy a new 10 TB HDD.
Does that mean, I will not be able to run that 10 TB HDD with other two SSDs I mentioned ?

Here is a link to T-7500 Spec sheet :

Please advice.

Thank You

What operating system are you running it may be that 10tb is the maximum it can address

If you're still on windows 7 that came with the computer then 16TB is the limit due to sector size, 4K sector support did not come out till windows 8 for larger drives.
