Do all ATA-133 controllers support 48-bit LBA?

I should think so, yes. As do most all ATA100 controllers. I won't go so far as to assure this, but I would buy any ATA133 controller and think 48-bit LBA would be enabled by default. ATA100 cards are more iffy. Check the specs if you are not sure.

Yes, every ATA133 card does 48 bit LBA. That was one of the reasons Maxtor pulled ATA-133 out of their hat.

Ok so then my A7N8X which has an ATA-133 should already support 48-bit from what i am hearing.?
