Updated: 11/13/2018 by Computer Hope

Alternatively known as large mode, ECHS (Extended Cylinder-Head-Sector) or extended CHS (Cylinder-Head-Sector) is an access mode used by computers to assign addresses to data on a hard drive that is larger than 504 MB. Although this mode does allow a computer to have a larger hard drive, today this mode is replaced with other modes such as LBA (Large Block Addressing).
