Can somebody tell me if this usb 2.0 to ide bridge supports large hard drives?

Hi - I have a usb 2.0 external enclosure. it uses a NECD720130 usb 2.0 to ide bridge, datasheet here: http://www.necel.com/usb/ja/dir1/S16302EJ3V0DS00.pdf

Can somebody that knows more about storage than I do tell me if that controller supports large hard drives? It worked just fine with my 120GB - and the guy I bought it from told me it worked with his 160GB - but I can't seem to get it to work with a 200GB drive of mine, though I am not entirely convinced that the 200GB drive is in working condition. Not sure if this helps, but it says this in the datasheet:

"Compliant with ATA/ATAPI-6 (LBA48, PIO Mode 0-4, Multi Word DMA Mode 0-2, Ultra DMA Mode 0-4)".

I kinda thought that computers that couldn't handle 200GB hard drives had a LBA48 related problem - so I'm thinking that it probabaly does support large hard drives? Or has all that crack been going to my head again and I'm completely off? Thanks!

I kinda thought you were in the wrong forum 🙂

General Hardware and\or Technical Support are the ones you're looking for. 🙂

Hmmm I disagree. But whatever the case - I figured out that it does in fact support 200GB and larger drives. Just had some jumper problems 🙂 Mods can lock/delete/move/whatever if they find necessary.

yeah, gen hardware and tech support are the right forums to post this in. unless youwere designing something involving the bridge, it's off topic. highly technical does not at all refer to your problem.
