I’m checking this mini pc https://www.acemagic.com/products/acemagic-ad08-intel-core-i9-11900h-mini-pc
It says the M2 and SATA ports are limited to 2TB, but I can’t imagine why that’s the case.
Could there be a limit on the motherboard? On the CPU?
If most likely this is done in software (windows) probably it won’t matter since I’m planning to switch to linux.
What I want to avoid is buying it and being unable to use an 8TB drive.
Those come with malware so be careful. Even if you reinstall a fresh os you have no idea what the firmware is doing.
