A5000 and support for 36GB hard drives
Sunsolve says A5000 supports 36GB drives.
is anybody using those on A5000?
Are there any issues?
To be quite honest, I don't know. I would assume that there would be no problems, but I don't like to assume. I would try it in a heavy-load testing environment.

USB Support For 2TB+ Hard Drives
Can anyone tell me if the T-61 supports (access the drives full capacity) multi-terabyte hard drives?
Under XP?
Win7?
I.e. 3 TB Sata drives in a USB 2.0 external enclosure..
Thaniks in advance,
C.There are no (realistic) limitations as of now for how big an USB-drive can be, that I know of. I admit, I haven't tested anything larger than 2TB, but that works fine, single partition, no problems whatsoever.
The only "problem" being, of course, that the T61 only supports USB 2.0, which isn't really the quickest - unless you have a FW-port, of course.
EDIT: This is valid for Vista (and I assume Windows 7) - dunno about XP, but I have a feeling it might be a bit more picky...

G41M-P28 support for 3TB hard drives?
Does G41M-P28 mbd supports 3TB hard drives, for example Seagate ST3000DM001. os is WIn7 x64. Thanks!
Quote from: darios on 27-January-13, 07:22:25
Unfortunately I need 3TB as backup drive for 2 x 1,5TB disks
3TB HDD on G41M is gambling.
But what do you mean with "I need 3TB as backup drive for 2 x 1,5TB disks"?
And why don't you use 2 x 2TB if you really need that kind of backup? -
Improve Support for External Hard Drives
I have tens of thousands of images, so many that they won't fit on a single hard drive size that comes in laptops, and yet I like to have all of the thumbnail images in a single database along with the keywords so I can search. Just today, a client emailed wanting me to check on some photos from last fall, and I'm out of the office right now.
Yes, Lightroom will come up even though the external hard drive is missing, *BUT* its checking each of the images that aren't there, and since there's tens of thousands of them, its taking forever.
I will leave it up to the designers to craft a solution, but offhand I'd say the best solution is to make the program smart enough to notice when images are stored on an external hard drive, and not freak out when that hard drive isn't there.It is not freaking out. It is just checking, but as you say there are 'thousands'. What I think they will be doing is moving it to more of a background process like they do preview building, so it won't be as much in the way. I think this is what can be hoped for.

Data Rescue II AND Disksaver for failing hard drive?
I need some guidance on rescuing data from an internal hard drive that Disk Utility could not fix. (The drive is making an odd noise, and apparently has a mechanical problem.)
Data Rescue II appears to successfully cloned my iMac's drive, while Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper froze when I attempted to use them on it.
I just finished my cloning of the problem drive with Data Rescue II last night, and I'm debating my next step. I bought Diskwarrior as well, but haven't opened the box yet.
Should I now use Diskwarrior to build a new directory for the clone, or is that new directory generated by the Data Rescue cloning? Also, can you boot from the clone created by Data Rescue II?
I'm thinking of having a replacement drive installed in my iMac, then cloning back to it from the clone I made last night, if it's healthy. Any thoughts?Gary,

Saw a link on StorageReview to a study done by Google:
Predicting hard drive failures
Its a study by some Google employees on the failure rates of disk drives deployed within their infrastructure.
Failure Trends In A Large Disk Drive Population
Examining the population of hard drives under deployment within Google
* In general, there are around four ways a HDD will fail. Firmware zone corruption, electronic failure, mechanical failure, and logical corruption. Unfortunately, S.M.A.R.T only handles a subset of the "mechanical failure" category (mainly media failure and thermal failure), and does not protect against single instance/incident catastrophic mechanical errors (head crash, spindle/servo motor failure, stick-shun).
* I was surprised about the lack of correlation found between elevated temperature and expected drive reliability. The graph only went up to 50 C, though, and I would expect a much stronger correlation once the temperature reached beyond typical max temp specs.
* I give props to the google crew for their SMART correlation analysis. I would have loved to see a quick postmortem on all of the failed drives to determine cause, and a breakdown into the top four categories.
* Side note, logical corruption may lead to data loss, but it does not necessarily mean that the HDD has failed.
Findings:
* After a first scan error, drives are 39x more likely to fail within 60 days.
First errors in reallocations, offline reallocations, and prob ational counts are also strongly correlated to higher failure probabilities.
* A large fraction of our failed drives have shown NO SMART error signals watsoever.
* There was a lack of a consistent pattern of higher failure rates for higher temperature drives for for those drives at higher utilization levels.
* Some of the charts point to drive failure early on, a "survival of the fittest" perhaps.
http://labs.google.com/papers/disk_failures.pdf
SMART is not that reliable at predicting, of course if it shows a problem, it is just that much worse. I try to torture and kill a drive right off the bad, if it survives the first week of abuse, it is probably going to survive anyway. But being paranoid, never leave data to chance, assume that it will some day fail or at least need to be reformatted or retired.

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance -
how can I get all of my music off of my laptop and onto an external hard drive? I bought a new hard drive for it but it got turned into a Time Machine drive... I want to have all of my music on the external hard drive, and NOT on my macbook pro. Thanks everyone
Hello lramospsych,
To move your iTunes media library to a different location, take a look at the article below to walk you through that process. Make sure that you have everything organized before you move everything over.

I was just wondering if I can use time capsule with my iphone for both back up and to access the hard drive on the capsule?
I don't think backup is supported but you may be able to access the TC's internal drive, from the iPhone, with an application like: NetPortal
Note: I haven't actually tried this app, so if someone else has and was successful in accessing the TC's drive they can certainly chime in.
Follow-up. Just downloaded and installed this app ... and I can now verify that it, indeed, can access both my TC's internal and externally attached USB HDD. -
The hard drive for my MacBook Pro recently crashed. I purchased and installed a new hard drive (i.e. a Samsung SSD). When I try to re-install the Mac operating system, I come to the part of the installation instructions where you are asked to choose a disk to install the software. However, there is no disk listed in the selection screen. Why is there no disk in the selection screen?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You haven't formatted the SSD, so you can't install Mac OS X.
First, close the OS X installer and open Disk Utility. Then, choose the SSD at the top of the sidebar, go to Erase tab, choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as "Format", and press Erase. Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html -
I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive. The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc). Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?
Yes you can make multiple backups on one hard drive, for example if you’ve 1TB hard drive installed in your PC and you’ve two Mac Machines with 500GB drive each then you just make two backup images with size of 500GB each.

I have one HDMI port on my television that is currently used for my hard drive/free view box. What kind of adaptor can I buy so I can have the hard drive and my apple tv device plugged into the same HDMI PORT? Is it a switch or a splitter? And where is it best to buy one? Thanks!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need an HDMI switch. -
On my Macbook pro 15, 2011, System Profiler is suggesting that it uses SATA III for the hard drive and SATA II for the Optical Drive. Is that true?
That is correct. The tech specs indicate:
Hard Drive Interface
6.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA)
Optical Drive Interface
3.0 or 6.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA) -
I am not much of a computer technician. I bought a time capsule thinking I could use this for an external hard drive and keep my MAC hard drive free. Was I mistaken? Once I back everything up on the TC, can I delete everything off of my MAC and then use my TC as my hard drive??
Once I back everything up on the TC, can I delete everything off of my MAC and then use my TC as my hard drive??
TC was designed to backup your Mac. The TC literature is pretty clear about this:
If your Mac's hard drive has a problem....it will sooner or later....you can use your backup on the TC to rebuild your Mac.
But.....if you move all of your data to the TC from your Mac....you only have one version of that data now, and it is on the TC.
Have you thought about what will happen when....not if....the TC has a problem? Since the only version of your important data was on the TC, and the TC has failed......you lose all of your data.....because you have no backup.
A much better plan would be to add a USB or FireWire hard drive and connect it directly to your Mac. Move the data on your Mac over to the hard drive.
Then, the TC will backup both your Mac and the hard drive. So, you have original data on on one drive and backups on another drive.
That would be a minimum backup plan. Most of us have more than one set of backups. -
I was wondering if the late 2011 macbook pro uses SATA II or SATA III for the hard drive. The reseason I'm asking this is because some day I'm going to replace the Hard drive for a SSD drive down the road and would like to use all the performance of the SATA controler.
SATA III.

My iMac, OS 10.7.5, is abnormally slow on start-up, taking many minutes for my password sign-in window to show up. I've run Disk Permissions and have verified my hard drive and all is in order. What do I do to start up my Mac in a normal manner?
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
