ATA/300 Compatibility

I own a PowerPC G4 1.25GHz Single CPU
I recently bought a hard drive (Western Digital Caviar Black WD7501AALS Hard Drive-750GB- 7200rpm - Serial ATA/300) without confirming compatibility--a dumb move, I know.
I realized I might have a problem when I saw the ATA-66 and ATA-33 plugs on my motherboard. I tried every configuration with the ribbons and selector (master/slave vs. cable select). Disk Utility does not see the drive nor does it show up on the System Profiler. The drive makes a strange but reassuring chirp when it gets plugged in but no spinning.
I assume my new drive is just not compatible. Does the ATA speed matter? I'd sacrifice performance if it were compatible but it seems like this is an exercise in futility.

I, too, looked at the web site and the photos are hard to see, although on looks like there's a recess in the panel that is about the size of a 40-pin connector.
I'm confused too. If I pull up any of the pages related to that part number (here>) I see no mention of a dual-interface potential, just SATA.
So the drive in your hand is 40-pin? Does it also have a 7-pin connector? I wonder if WD now has one rear interface panel for all its drives and only connects what needed. I've seen this in HP printers. Some have an ethernet port that is not hooked up internally, just plugged.
You may need to contact WD directly to find out what you have.

If you want to use the ATA 300 drive at full speed you'll need to buy an ATA 300 Card, otherwise it
will only run at 150Mbps. It will still work but the throughput will be half since the Original G5 ata
controllers are serial ata 1 intead of the lastest version 2.

Where can I find directions to replace the internal HD on a MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo, 08/08)? Considering the age does it matter ATA-300 or 150?

Modem 300 compatibility with Mac Plus

I have an Apple Modem 300 that I use with my Apple //c. It connects to the Internet (in some ways) just fine. I have a Mac Plus 4MB and I was wondering if the Modem 300 specifically could be compatible with the modem. If so, also please tell me how I can. I already have Netscape installed on my Mac Plus.

For the cable connection, the following article could perhaps be of interest.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA33629
However, the modem speed is extremely low. It would of course be much better to use a faster modem (something like 14400 bps). Almost any PC-style (DB-25F port) modem can be used with a Macintosh Plus through a Mac modem cable (DB-25M to MiniDIN-8M).
I did not know that it was possible to use a Netscape web browser on a Macintosh Plus (with an external hard drive) computer. There are a few alternatives that work, such as MacWeb (under System 7). An old version of Eudora can (if SMTP authentication is not required) be used for email. You would also need MacTCP and an appropriate PPP program. For details, see the web pages below.

Sata 150 and sata 300 compatibility

If I have a laptop with a sata 150 capability, can I use a sata 300 drive in it?
I assume that it would run at sata 150 performance, but is it compatible?
Would I be able to benefit from the larger cache size? Would it tend to run cooler? Any other possible benefits or drawbacks?
The selection of sata 300 laptop drives is greater than the sata 150 now, and many of them offer a larger cache size (32mb instead of 16mb) as well as larger drive capacities.
Thanks for any advice.

Yes, SATA II (3.0 Gbps) drives are all backward compatible with SATA I (1.5 Gbps) connections. There's no advantage to using a SATA I drive if your connection is limited to SATA I, a SATA II drive will perform fine, and as you stated they are easier to find.

Ultra ata not compatable

I have a Seagate ultra ata 750 gigger, but it has the "old style" pin connectors, for power and data, is there any way to use this in G5 Dual 1.8, early model??
It came with a cable which seems to connect to the g5's "newer" data connector, but how the heck do i power it up???

Hi frank jones1;
I understand what you would like to do but there is no simple way to put a parallel ATA into a serial ATA bus. So I have to agreed with Frank's suggestion to put it into an external enclosure.

I have a Sony PRS-300, is Adobe Digital Editions compatable with it?

My PRS-300 is not on the list of compatable e-readers... but the PRS-350 is. Is my PRS-300 compatable?

There are bugs with ADE2.0 that mean the combination ADE2.0/Sony reader/Overdrive library book does not work correctly.
This is one of the vast number of bugs in ADE2.0.
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172

To use ADE (either version) with a Sony device you need to install Sony Reader.
Download from https://ebookstore.sony.com/download/
Even if you don't use Sony Reader, it installs a device driver that enables ADE to interact with the Sony.
(Not sure why Sony makes this awkwardness that other devices don't have, it slightly marrs a really excellent lightweight ereader.)

Serial ATA 150 or 300

According to tech spec of new iMac configuration(s) with Core 2 Duo CPU, as the storage is mentioned Serial ATA 7200-rpm hard drive.
What I'd like to know is:
does new iMac configurations support both Serial ATA 150 and 300 standards, or just Serial ATA 300?

Hello,
According to their sales page (when you configure the system and click more information on the hard drives), it says "All iMac models include standard 3.5-inch Serial ATA hard drives with data transfers up to 150 megabytes per second".
So, that would mean that you would only see performance comparable to SATA-150 no matter which drive you use. So, if you use a drive rated at SATA-300, then it would just run at the lower SATA-150 rate when connected to the iMac.
I hope this helps.
Let us know if you have other questions.

ATA 100 or 300?

I'm about to order a new 320GB HD to upgrade my MacBook Pro. It's a 15" with 2.0GHZ Core Duo. Model identifier 1.1.
Do I have to fit an ATA-100 drive or can I use an ATA-300?
I'm looking at these models: WD Scorpio Black WD3200BEKT or Seagate ST9320421AS.
I'm assuming it's a 2.5" drive I need? And that the MacBook Pro can take a disk as large as 320GB?
Thanks in advance for any help!

You cannot use an ATA drive. Intel Macs all use SATA drives. Any SATA notebook drive will work as long as it's not more than 9.5 mm high. Any 320 GB SATA notebook drive will fit.

Realtek HD Audio Issue

Hello fellows,
Unfortunately I've been having problems with my Realtek HD Audio (includes THX TruStudio Pro and Dynaudio Premium Sound Technology) with my Windows 8 x64 MSI GT70 whenever I open up a game file and start playing for 1-2 minutes (WoW, Diablo III, SCII). I've tried all the different settings in the Audio Manager but it didn't help.
For WoW, I seem to have resolved most of the problem (an issue with the sound where makes clicking and buzzing noises) when I opened up the loading screen and chose to open it in 32-bit instead. Unfortunately, SCII or Diablo III don't have that option in the loading screen. For WoW, the problem is mostly gone but an occasional click here or there comes, a lot softer than before. Before, it was unbearable so I had to turn the sound off completely.
Anyone have suggestions to stop it for good? I'd appreciate the help. I've already reinstalled everything concerning the audio system, it says it is working properly, and I have the latest driver (also tried disabling THX) and the problem still arose after that. I've also tried to run the programs in compatability mode but that didn't work either. Everything else aside from games sound just fine. In any case, changing to the 32-bit helped with WoW. How can I do that for the others?
Cheers,
A

Thanks for the suggestions. Even with the default sound driver, I still experience the problem. I contacted MSI and they think it may be a hardware issue. That was the only thing they said. I have my doubts, however. If it was a hardware problem then why don't I have any audio problems when playing music or watching videos?
Anyone have any other ideas? I really don't want to send the computer away, going through that effort and then to find out that it wasn't a hardware problem after all

Bottleneck in Data Transfer

We run a small network in our office consisting mainly of Intel iMacs we purchased several months ago. The server computer is a brand new Intel Mac Pro server with 4 500 gig drives raided together, two 2.66GHz dual core intel processors, all the other bells and whistles we could think of, etc. We added in two fiber-optic switches: one in the server room, one in the office. The switches connect to each other and the server with fiber optic cables, but the iMacs connect with ethernet cables.
We had the iMacs for a while but we just recently got the new server and upgraded our old 100 base switches. Afterwards we wanted to test out the data transfer speeds, as we plan to back up to the server frequently. We were dismayed to find that transfer rates capped out at 60 MegaBytes/sec according to the Activity Monitor's Network Activity tab. In fact, it would range mostly from 40-45MB/sec. None of us here have much experience with networking, but that seemed a tad too slow. My basic math tells me that a byte is 8 bits, and from that a Gigabit network should transfer data at 120 MegaBytes/sec, which is three times the speeds we were actually seeing.
We sent data both to and from the server in order to test this. Thinking it was perhaps a problem with the ethernet itself, we grabbed an external FireWire hard drive and transferred data from one of the iMacs directly to it and noticed exactly the same transfer rates. We plugged two iMacs directly into each other and transferred at the same rate, ~45MB/sec.
Well this was highly frustrating. All Macs supposedly ship with Gigabit ethernet since, what, 2002? Earlier? Why are our speeds so slow? We thought the hard drives might be slow, so we got info on the drives and googled them for their tech specs. The iMacs' Western Digital drives are capable of much much faster speeds according to everything we've read.
We started reading anything we could online that addressed this issue. Some information read the problem might be that the optical DVD-R/CD-R drive was only capable of slower transfer speeds. Since the optical drive and the hard drive are on the same bus it would slow down the hard drive's maximum transfer rate, much like having a Gigabit hub with a 10 base computer plugged into it would slow the entire network down (which is of course why we use switches instead of hubs). Is there any truth to this? If this is, in fact, the case, can we bypass this bottleneck somehow? I'm not talking about opening the computer and manually disabling the optical drive, as that's a waste of a perfectly good DVD-R/CD-R drive.
Also, if this is true, why in blue blazes is Apple flaunting Gigabit ethernet if the computer can only take advantage of 1/3 the speeds Gigabit ethernet has to offer?! I'll happily provide any more information that's relevant to the problem at hand.
Thank you
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Here's the specs for the default Hard Drive that Apple put in here:
http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=137
From that page
Buffer To Host (Serial ATA) 300 MB/s (Max)
Buffer To Disk 748 Mbits/s (Max)
I have no idea what signaling overhead for my data transfer protocol means.
The ethernet cords are no longer than 20 feet, are all Cat5E, and are well shielded. There is little to no ElectroMagnetic interference in any area they run. The longest cable is the Fiber Optic one, which runs about... oh... 40 yards? These were all installed by professionals.
I feel it's important to stress the fact that we tested an isolated direct computer to computer transfer with a single 6 foot Cat5E Ethernet cable and still experienced the same speeds that we experienced over the network. We tested multiple computers, multiple cables, multiple files.

What type of HDD does MS-6382 support?

Hi,
My system has a MS-6382 mobo & I've got to change to the hard drive. I've been looking at ebay & the link below describes a HDD which has "ATA/133 or SATA interface and capacity of 120 GB"
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=16178&item=5208766733&rd=1
I don't know much about computers, or even the right questions to ask really, but does the 6382 support 7200rpm drives, ATA/133? What general specs for a HDD should I be looking for?
I would be grateful for any help anyone can give!

ata 133 is just a marketing gimick.............only data moves that fast is 2mb in the drives cache
the drive will run at about half that speed once the cache is cleared
dont worry about it
Er, I got another question
I'm now looking at this hitachi model:
http://www.cclonline.com/product-info.asp?id=210&pc=dealtime#
which has good reviews (probably for others in the range). I originally saw it on ebay but it turns out to be cheaper buying it from the above supplier.
The question I have is does the MS 6382 support serial ATA? I'm reasonably sure that the above drive is parallel ATA (ie compatable with the MS 6382) because of the manufacturer's info here:
http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/d7k250/d7k250.htm
but I thought I'ld ask before I order it or in case I change my mind (again).
Thankyou for your help

Hi, X, et al,
I too have been using these exact same Corsair DIMMs with no problems since April. The "however" part is that I would get 1600mhz CL 9 DIMMs instead at this juncture. They don't cost much more, and if you want to upgrade your existing 1333mhz RAM at some point you can, without throwing away all four DIMMs. Yes, you can mix 1600 and 1333 - they will be clocked at 1333. Just make sure to get CL 9 and not CL 11. For example:
1600 mhz CL 9 $50 8GB
might work out for you. I do prefer buying from Amazon over Newegg though. Less return hassles.
Anything higher than 1600mhz is a waste - it's the fastest clock rate your chip set can handle.
Best, ZZ

Please have a look at my system and give me ideas how I could eventuially improve it.
regards

I agree completely with Harm. A 550W PSU of average (or middling) quality like the one that you have (which, by the way, is based on a CWT PSH or PSH-II platform) is not quite enough to power a power-hungry CPU like the i7-950 of yours, especially if a better-performing GPU such as the the GTX 560 Ti that Harm suggested is added along with two or more additional hard drives. (Your system currently has exactly two hard drives, which is the absolute minimum that you should have in an editing system unless you want performance to be slower than an old Pentium 4. However, one of those hard drives spins at only 5400 RPM - far from ideal for an editing system. You really want all of the hard drives inside that system to spin at 7200 RPM.)
Speaking of the GTX 560 Ti, you don't need the one with 448 cores since a non-overclocked (read: stock speed) i7-950 can't take full advantage of that higher-end GPU (and please note that the GTX 560 Ti 448 is actually a GTX 570 with one of its shader units disabled whereas the standard GTX 560 Ti is a different chip altogether). The standard GTX 560 Ti, with its 384 CUDA cores and a 256-bit DDR5 memory bus width, would suffice. However, if you do wish to overclock the i7-950 (to at least 3.8GHz), then the 448-core edition of the GTX 560 Ti would make more sense. (The 9500 GT that you currently have is not only old, it's slow and weak as well: It has only 32 CUDA cores, and it uses really, really crummy DDR2 RAM with only a 128-bit memory bus width. Such a card would have made the GPU-accelerated mode significantly slower than software-only mode during certain operations within CS5.x.)
By the way, I was wrong six months ago about the Dell systems sold during Fall 2011 that came with a 1.25GB version of the GTX 560 Ti: I had assumed that that card had 448 cores. Well, I did more research, and discovered that there was an OEM version of the GTX 560 Ti which did use a 320-bit DDR5 memory bus - but it had only 352 CUDA cores. It uses the same GPU as the GTX 570 and GTX 580, but with only 11 of its 16 shader units enabled, making it a GTX 570 with four of that GPU's shader units disabled. The Dell version of the GTX 560 Ti is, indeed, only a 352-core unit that was based off of a GTX 570. That made the Dell GTX 560 Ti expensive for what it is - at around $300, it cost as much money as the 448-core version of the GTX 560 Ti sold for around that time.

Question - Need Advice Regarding Second Hard Drive On HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 Notebook PC

Hi,
I currently have a HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 Notebook PC, and my hard drive failed (luckily while still under warranty!). So I contacted HP support and they are in the process of sending me a replacement hard drive, so that I may install it. When I opened the back of the notebook, I realized that a second hard drive could be installed, if desired. I would be interested in doing this! My current primary drive was (and will be again) a Toshiba 1 TB Internal hard drive Serial ATA-300 2.5" 5400 rpm, model MK1059GSM. I understand (from reading a previous post) that for the second hard drive, I will need to purchase a "2nd HDD Caddy & Cable for HP dv7-4000, dv7-5000, dv7t SE" (the purchase link the tech in the other post referred to was http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=345); and now I need to decide on the size (and other stats) of the hard drive that I will buy to install and used as the secondary drive. The HP customer service rep I spoke with on the phone about my primary drive replacement said that it is usually recommended to not go any higher (in capacity) than the primary drive, for the second drive, to ensure a more "stable" system (but I am not sure about the level of"technical" knowledge he has about the inner workings of the notebooks). However, from my upgrading experiences with desktop PCs, I was usually able to go as high in capacity as I could/desired; as long as the physical size of the drive was the same, and it was compatible with my system. And I usually did choose to go with a larger capacity second drive, as this was where most of my data and media files were stored (with the primary being used for mostly operating system and system files). This is my first time "upgrading" a Notebook, so I wanted to check with the techs here on the board- would it be a problem for me to go with a secondary drive larger than my primary drive's 1TB capacity? Also, are there any other factors to consider and keep in mind when selecting a second hard drive? Any advice and replies will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your help with this! -Brian

You should be able to go as high as 2TB.
I also own a,(Older), DV7 notebook which has dual drive capability.
I bought my caddy from the place recommended and got everything needed including screws !
I matched the capacity in mine with an exact same hard drive and have never had a problem.
Minor battery life noticable but that was it.
Your system BIOS is what will hold you back from say a 3TB drive.
You can go to HP site and check the specs on your model and find out for 100 % sure.

I would recommend doing what I did and match the drive exactly.
Good day !
