Maximum hard drive on Tecra M4

I have a Tecra M4 and I'm thinking of upgrading the hard drive to a SATA 320GB one. Is there a maximum hard drive size for this model? Also will the HD "safe guard" features still work if you install a new one?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi
There is definitely an HDD size limitation the point is that the BIOS does not support all HDD size and to be honest I dont think the 320GB HDD would run.
In my opinion its simply too large
Unfortunately, Toshiba doesnt provide any details about the max possible HDDs
But I think a 120GB HDD shouldnt be a problem

The largest 2.5" SATA HDDs of 9.5 mm thickness that I am aware of are 1 TB in capacity. There is a 12.5 mm thick HDD that will fit some MBPs. But I have not seen any of larger capacity.
Are there now 2 TB HDDs available for MBPs? If so, I am interested.
Ciao.
Both OWC and Crucial have SSDs of about 1 TB capacity.

Maximum hard drive size for 350 MHz slot loading?

Hello,
What is the maximum hard drive size for a 350 MHz slot loading imac?
I am aware of a 128 GB limit on imacs. Does the 128 GB hard drive limit apply to all imac CRTs or just the earlier models?
Here are the specs of my imac:
Blueberry 350 MHz
Slot loading CD-ROM drive,
6 GB hard drive
Is the maximum hard drive size limit of 127GB apply to this particular model?
Thanks

Yes, the last CRT iMac was in 2001. The first machines with built-in greater than 127 GB support were released in June 2002, as this article explains:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
So all CRT iMacs have that limiation.

The 8 GB limit is explained here:

What is the maximum hard drive size for Imac 8,2, what is the maximum hard drive size for Imac 8,2

Am wondering what is the maximum hard drive one can put into this computer. I think it's a 3TB but I read somewhere the drive needs a jumper to bring it back to 3mb level cache. Can anyone confirm these details please? I currently have a 320GB drive installed.

Hi Robbie,
I found no iMac 8,2, do you mean iMac 8,1 ???
There is no practical limit to the size, the biggest ones made will work fine... assuming the all important SATA 3 Gb/s speed, WD drives use a jumper on pins 5&6 to slow it from 6 Gb/s to 3 Gb/s.
Some drives do it automatically...

Maximum Hard Drive Possible - Older Desktops

Good day all,
I have a few old office computers lying around and i was wandering if you could help me in finding the maximum hard drive sizes (capable) for each of these machines.
Dell Optiplex GX520
Dell Optiplex GX620
Dell 755(SFF)
Dell Precision 690
I am trying to re-purpose one machine as a home server, and i am on the brink of purchasing a new 4TB drive with the hope of using it within one of the machines above. However i am struggling to find the documentation that states the maximum HD size. I would prefer to use the Dell 755 as it is a nice size, but fear that it may not be able to use the 4TB to its maximum. The other 3 machines, may hold additional drives - but i hope i can get away with just one.
Any help you can provide will be extremely helpful.
Regards,
SM

They can use any size SATA drive for data purposes, provided the OS is Windows 7 or better, but you may find it necessary to use a third-party SATA card.
I had a 4tb working with the onboard SATA of an old E310. OS was Windows 8 x64. I had a 3tb working with a Dimension 2350 (via a third-party SATA card), and the 2350 does not even have onboard SATA.

Maximum hard drive on Portege M200

I've recently bought a Portege M200 on ebay and I'm thinking of installing a new 250GB IDE hard drive.
Is there a maximum hard drive size for this model?

Hi,
It's hard to say if a 250gb HD will fit in your M200, but I think it's not impossible.
The limits of the (possibly) bios restrictions are not precisely given, but for example in my 3110 ( an oldie with a 6gb HD ) I installed a 40gb HD without any problems. ( despite pessimistic advices ! )
In case of bios-restrictions most HD-manufacturers have special advices and/or software programs to deal with such restrictions
If you have a 250gb HD at your disposal, there is nothing wrong just trying to install it ; in the first installation-screens of XP it will be clear if it' will be accepted at its full capacity or not
EDIT : if there will be a bios-limitation than is it will be most likely at 137gb ; you can use your 250gb by making 2 partitions of 125gb each
let us know if you succeed !

Maximum hard drive for Mini

I have a Mini (2009) with a 120 GB hard drive and I want to replace with the largest drive a Mini will take. Is there a maximum hard drive size this thing will handle and if so what is it? Thanks.

HD size is pretty independent and just limited by current technology (how much HD space can be provided on a limited area of storage space). So no, there's no correlation or maximum aside from what is purchasable on the market.
Now, if you're doing it through Apple, you're probably gonna be maxed out at 320g, but not because of a technology issue, just that's all Apple offers that I know of.

UCS C series maximum hard drive size

Looking for info on the maximum hard drive size support on teh UCS C series. I have a C200M2 that I added a 4TB drive, I have updated the server to the latest firmware and BIOS however the server shows the drive size is 2TB.

Hi! and welcome to the community mate!
Here is the table that shows the supported disk's PID for the C200 server:
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-c-series-rack-servers/c200m2_sff_specsheet.pdf
If you successfully installed ONE HDD of 4GB and made it work, you were lucky cause I don't see any disk with that size, I have not even seen a disk of that size for UCS yet.
I am wondering if perhaps you installed 4 disks of 1TB and configured them in RAID 1 which would explain the reason for the size to go down to half of the capacity of the array as RAID 1 is a mirror.
Let me know if I misunderstood you.

What is the maximum hard drive replacement I can use on my PowerBook g4 867 ghz?

What is the maximum hard drive replacement I can use on my PowerBook g4 867 ghz?

Sorry we are late. This forum is getting less traffic as people upgrade and responses sometime take longer. Everyone here volunteers their time, and I for one was unavailable much of yesterday.
The limiting factor on max drive size is that your PowerBook uses the older PATA drive interface, and the largest PATA 2.5-inch drives available today are about 320 GB.
What I'm reserching is the ATA bus controller in your PowerBook. Some older Macs cannot recognize more than 128GB of PATA hard drive space. However, this archived discussion from 2008:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1413918?start=0&tstart=0
suggests that people are running PowerBooks older than yours and not suffering the 128GB limit.
At this point, I need help with what appears to be a descrepancy between the text of your post and the PowerBook in your profile. A "PowerBook6,2" model identifier returns to the "PowerBook G4 (12-inch DVI)" marketing name with a 1.0Ghz processor; the 12-inch PBG4 with a 867mHz processor shows a model identifier of PowerBook6.1. They show the same hard drive interface but the later on appears to be a sure bet for large hard drive support,

Kernel Panic G4 D1.25 MDD - Maximum Hard Drive Capacity/Accessibility??

In solving my Kernel Panic from September 2, 2008 post I have been running "Panic Free" for a number of days.
I added a Firewire/eSATA/USB2 Nexstar external drive case w/WD Black 1 TB Drive) and I get a Kernel Panic instantly! It happens with Firewire and eSATA both.
I am running 4 x 500 GB IDE WD Caviar drives internally and what I want to know is there a "Maximum Hard Drive" amount that a G4 MDD can access at one time??
Is there a maximum of 2 TB of drive storage it can access or ??

No. It is likely the Nexstar's firmware is not compatible with the bus being used. See my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/firewirebug2.html
The Firewire bus as long as its power draw is not over its specs, will handle up to 63 devices in a chain. The secret of course is for every Firewire device to have its own power source separate of the computer, and the chain not to be too long. That chain is defined more clearly here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewire
USB has a theoretical maximum of 127 devices.

Maximum hard drive size for upgrading a dv6375ea?

Hello to all,
My hard drive began to make noises and since it is past warranty, I will upgrade it. When I had bought the laptop I had chatted with a HP personnel on these support pages, and he/she had told me that the maximum size that the bios allowed was 120 gb. That is the original hard drive size!
Has anyone upgraded their hard drive or does anybody know of a technical value that I should try?
Thanks for your time,

You can install as large a drive as you can find as long as it is SATA and 2.5" wide and 9.5 mm thick. SATA drives have no BIOS size limit. However, some have occasionally reported issues with 500 gig drives and 7200 rpm drives. I can therefore tell you with 100% certainty you can install a 320 gig 5400 rpm drive in your laptop. My favorite website for laptop hard drives is newegg.com. Don't buy from HP parts; it will cost way too much. You should be able to find the drive I mention for around $80 and laptop drives are also sold at Best Buy, Frys and similar stores.

Maximum Hard Drive Size

I have the 1.5 GHZ PowerBook G4 17". I can't seem to find any guidance elsewhere on the 'net or on the Apple site on this question:
What is the largest hard drive my PowerBook will recognize?
I see a lot of people putting 160GB hard drives in with no problem but is that the maximum size my computer will recognize? I see 250GB and 320GB drives available - will my PowerBook recognize them?
Thanks for any help people can provide.
PMac 733, 17 PBook 1.5 Mac OS X (10.3.6)

To be honest I do not know what is the largest drive that the 17" PowerBook will recognise. However it should have no problem with a 160GB drive. Seagate have a 5400RPM 160GB drive which is readily available from online resellers for around $250 (or less).
If you want to wait for larger capacity drives you may have to wait quite a few months as 200GB was only just recently announced. Therefore it will probably not be readily available for a while yet.
Whichever drive you decide upon, make sure you choose do not choose one with a Serial ATA interface as they have different connectors and will be incompatible. The interface you need is Ultra ATA.

Maximum hard drive capacity f or hp dv8

I have a HP DV8 with 2 320GB hard drives. I would like to put 2 750 GB WD Black Scorpio drives in the PC. Is this possible?
What is the maximum capacity for this laptop? Thanks.

The problem is the enclosure. The older FireWire to
ATA chip-sets had the 128 GByte limit. Newer ones
don't. Maybe there is a firmware update for the
enclosure.
If there's no firmware update for your enclosure and you decide to buy another one, ones with the Oxford 911 chipset are limited to 128 GB, ones with the Oxford 911+ or higher support drives of larger capacities.
There are other ATA to Firewire chipsets out there, but the Oxfords are generally the most reliable.
