What type of hard drive do I need for a Creative Zen Vision

Hey everybody.
I have a Creative Zen Vision:M, and unfortunately after dropping it, the hard drive has decided to pack up!
I have decied to replace the hard dri've, but wondered which hard dri'ves are compatible with the Zen Vision:M? I know the hard drive is a .8" drive, but that's all I know what to look for so far...
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
It uses a standard 2.5" HDD. You can find them around in any good computer shop. You can use larger (capacity) as well. If you wish to find exactly the same one please try:
(a) Open Device Manager,
(b) Expand Disk drives item
You can see brand and model of the current HDD on your computer. If it failed already, pull it out and check.
Regards.

What kind of hard drive do I need for my HP Pavilion dx6650us entertainment notebook PC?

I have a HP Pavilion dx6650us entertainment notebook PC that has the BSOD. Even when I run it in SafeMode I have absolutly NO desktop. I've tried EVERYTHING. I have lost hope. So im just going to buy a new hard drive. Does anybody have ANY idea what type of hard drive I need and aprox. how much it might cost? Please let me know(: Thank you.

It is a standard laptop 2.5 inch wide SATA hard drive like shown in this picture:
Look at Page 9 of this Manual:
Drive Manual
This will show how to replace it. Do you have the recovery disks that you could have made when the laptop was new? If not you are going to have to get a Windows disk or some HP recovery disks.
Here is a drive that would work for you.
160 gig 7200 rpm drive for $45
This drive will be faster than what you had and is a bit larger. A very good deal for the price. You perhaps already have a second hard drive in the system. See the manual on page 9 for the location of both hard drive bays. You could move the secondary drive (if there is one) over into the primary position without spending a nickel. In fact, that is a great idea. If you do that and still get the BSOD, then it might well be something else going on other than the hard drive. The hard drive is a likely issue but it could also be the memory and other things, too. However, I think the second drive is only found in the dx9000 models so do not be shocked if you do not have a secondary hard drive bay in your machine. I have never seen a dx6000 series but am pretty sure it is a lot like the dv6000 series of which I have seen more than my share. They have a lot of issues and I am concerned you will be spending money on a new hard drive that will not fix anything.
Feel free to post back with issues or questions.

What size external hard drive do i need for Time Machine

What size external hard drive should I get to be my Time Machine backup? My iMac is 1TB. (also, I have MBP that is 250gb and will need one for it as well)
Thank you.

It is better to buy an external drive that has 3 times the storage capacity
as of the computer's internal HD.
Best.

You'll need a 2.5" parallel ATA interface hard drive. Most are 5400RPM, forget 7200RPM drives and slower 4200rpm drives. You don't want a serial ATA (SATA) drive, as that has a different connector and won't work.
One source I've used for drives is Newegg, and their parallel ATA hard drives are at http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007605%2060000344 2&IsNodeId=1&name=IDE%20Ultra%20ATA100%20%2f%20ATA-6 . Newegg also has many user comments about the drives. Other sources are OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ (Click on ATA on the left) . Look for at least a 3 year warranty.

Hi:
Please enter the product number for your notebook in the applicable box at the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/siteHome?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=228&sw_lang=&product=top
The product # can be found on the same sticker as the serial number.
Then you will be directed to the support and driver page for your PC.
On the lower right side is a Manuals link.
There should be a maintenance and service guide which will tell you what the hard drive part numbers are.
Google one of them and you will have your answer. Sometimes they just state 5,400 RPM hard drive and not much more, but when you google the part number, you normally find out exactly the info you need.
If you have trouble finding the info, please post back with your full model number.

What type of internal Hard Drive do I need for 2015 Macbook Pro 13"

I want to replace the 256 GB hard drive that came with my 2015 MBP w/ Retina with something much larger like a 1 TB hard drive. Is there a specific type of hard drive I need?
Solid State Hard drives seem to be a ton of money for a 1 TB Drive. is there anything in the 100-300$ range that will have more gigs of space and be an improvement to the hard drive currently in the 2015 Macbook Pro w/ Retina?
Would something like this be an option?

I really don't know anything about this stuff so any feedback would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

Update your records. None of the retina MBPs have soldered in SSDs. One fastener holds them in place.

What Type Of Hard Drive Do I Have & Backing Up.

I just got an email from Apple that says I have a Seagate Hard Drive that my fail and it is on recall. Call them to set up for a hard drive replacement. This raises questions for me I hope I can get answers here for.
1. How can I check to see if I actually have a Segate Drive?
I assume it is somewhere here, but not sure where:
"Apple Logo > About This Mac > More Info"
2. I am told that to swap the hard drive I will need to bring in all of my original install disc plus any other software I ordered with it (Final Cut Express in my case). So what is the best way to back everything up so when I get it back I will not have to re-type all of info for my emails, contacts, passwords and WEP for wifi, ect, ect.
3. Will Time Machine remember everything or will there still be some items that will require re-entering?
4. I have a 1TB internal drive that currently only has about 95 GB being used. Can I use a 400 GB external Passport that is MacJournaled as a Time Machine Backup?
5. What about security issues, since I assume Apple will keep my old seagate drive they recalled. Should I ask for it back or actually trust them to dispose of the data properly?
6. Any other tips before I begin this process is apprecitaed. I am trying to do this with as little headaches as possible.
Thanks.

Open Disk Utility which will display that information. However, since you were notified you should have the drive in question.
I would suggest a cloned backup of the drive on an external HDD:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
2. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
3. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
entry field.
4. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
5. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
After cloning use OPTION booting to startup from the clone:
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the external backup disk.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
Now erase your internal drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data - one pass - and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
This will remove all traces of your information from the drive as if it were new from the factory.

What size external hard drive do i need to backup my macbook pro?

I know I need to backup my computer, especially since I have been experiencing some problems with it and will need to take it into a store to get looked at, but I do not know what size external hard drive I need to back my computer on.

Drives are so low in cost today, go for something that will meet your needs for a while...if you are going to use Time Machine, get a drive large enough that you can have a partition double the size of the internal drive for TM backups, and a partition you can use for more storage and work space.
A decent drive like the Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB drive OWC sells goes for less than $200 (US) now. Has a fast interface and is easy to setup.

How big a hard drive do I need for iMac and Time Machine?

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere already. I am going to buy an iMac, probably the new 24" with a 320G internal HDD. I already have one Lacie external 320G HDD so I was wondering whether I can use this for Time Machine backups, or do I need to buy a bigger one? If so, how big? Is there a rule of thumb for working out how much hard drive space you need to have for Time Machine, for instance if I were to buy the 500G iMac what would I need?
thanks.

I agree with the "double the size" rule of thumb. You should also consider how much of the 320GB you are actually using and are likely to use in the next year or two. After all, it's the amount of storage you use that matters, not the size of the disk. Disks will very likely be cheaper soon. You should also keep in mind that TM deletes old archive data when it runs out of disk space. So as long as you have more disk space than you have data to back up, TM will work, though you will lose older versions of your data.
So if your 320GB drive only has 100GB used and you're not the kind of person who eats up disk like there's no tomorrow, the 320GB drive should be fine for now. If you expect that 320GB disk to be full soon then a 750GB TM disk is more like what you need.
The same logic applies to a 500GB iMac. If you only expect to use 250GB in the next year or two then a 500GB TM disk should be OK. A 1TB drive will be a lot cheaper next year or the year after.

What type of internal drive do I need?

I would like to install a second hard drive in my G4 desktop machine. What drive type should I be looking at..."eide", "ATA", "SATA", or ?
I don't know what these various designations mean, or which would be the right solution for an older G4 like mine. An external drive is also a possibility, but the internals are much less expensive.
Any suggestions?

Hi-
Ultra ATA 100 drives are the drives for your system. Easiest to find, inexpensive, no adapters, etc. Your origional drive is ATA 100. Here are the specs for your system:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg4/stats/powermac_g4_867_dpmdd.html
Your system is not limited to hard drive size (GB) and can use any of the following drives:
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?model=169&type=DataStorage&TI=3034&shoupgrds=ShowUpgrades
If you want to use SATA drives, you can, but you also need a controller card. This card and drive set is a good deal:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/SATAM500GPCI/
G4 AGP(450)Sawtooth, 2ghz PowerLogix, 1.62gb SDRAM, 120gb+160gb HDD Mac OS X (10.4.8) ATI Radeon 9800, Pioneer DVR-109, LaCie 160gb, 23" Cinema Display, Ratoc USB2.0

How do I find out what type of hard drive I have?

I recieved a message from Apple that I had to have my 1TB Seagate hard drive replaced. However, when I look in "About this Mac," it says my memory is a "4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3". I don't know whether this "memory" is the same as my hard drive. Does this means that the message reached me incorrectly? I am not sure whether this is an Intel so sorry if I asked the question on the wrong board.

And if you want to verify that your hard drive is indeed under the current recall you can enter your machine serial number on this apple site:
http://www.apple.com/support/imac-harddrive/
It's a good idea to take a look at the Apple recall page every now and then, not all recalls have notifications sent out.
