G41M-P28 support for 3TB hard drives?

Does G41M-P28 mbd supports 3TB hard drives, for example Seagate ST3000DM001. os is WIn7 x64. Thanks!

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?

E4200v2 Needs - - Added supports of 3TB Hard drive with NTFS and HFS+ format

I see this was addressed in the E4200v1 firmware, but isn't currently supported with v2.
Obviously this was something you deemed important once already, I don't understand why it wasn't automatically added into the features of V2.
Also, would it be possible to add a usb hub to allow multiple hard drives? If not adding that feature would be very beneficial as well.

Well, E4200 feature set is essentially the same as the E4200 v1. So it can recognize FAT32, NTFS, and HFS+ formats.
Second, E4200 v2 does not support usb hub within the network. So you need to wait for the further release of the new firmware which may add the support for the USB hub.

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...

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.

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.

Will k8n sli platinum support 3TB hard drives

Folks,
will the k8n sli platinum motherboard support 3TB hard drives? I have a 3TB hard drive that displays as 746GB. Latest bios is on board and running win7 64bit.
Many thanks
Dave

in the BIOS it states 3TB under the hard drive section, however that might just mean it's reading the drives properties and not it's capabilities if you know what I mean.
In the motherboards raid setup only 746GB on each drive is available and within Windows only 746GB is available.
I've read somewhere that's it's got something to do with 32bit "storage" hardware systems only being able to address 2.2GB or close to that. I think I'm gonna have to upgrade.
cheers
Dave

IMac 27" late 2012 3TB hard drive bad blocks

Hi Guys,
I just received the new iMac 27" late 2012 with 3TB hard drive and as soon as I run Drive Genius version 3.2.2 I saw that the drive has 8 bad blocks.
I tried to deleted the logical volume and reinstall the OS X 10.8.2 and after a scan I got the same 8 bad blocks. I give it another try and erase the entire 3 TB volu except the recovery partition and installed Mountain Lion and after running another Drive Genius SCAN for almost 12 hours I got 8 bad blocks again.
Called Apple Support and they are clueless about what is going on as they are not even aware that the late 2012 iMac 27" is not even in stores yet.
I was told that as long as I do not have errors within the OS X I should not worry about as he HDD is fine. I do not believe it since from my experience when you have a bad block you also have a physical damage on you disk surface.
I called Apple Support again and I was told to go to Genius Bar and have them to replace the HDD to a unit not even a week old. I think that I am going to return the unit, maybe I got a lemon and the unit got dropped during the shipping process or who knows.
I hope that this thread will help other owners to have them to run a check disk or scan disk just to make sure that they do not have a bad hard drive on their new iMac late 2012.
Again I have nothing against to anyone as I just hope that someone from Apple will find this thread and try to prevent this from happening to a large scale.
Thank you.

Drive Genius will report bad blocks when none are present. It may even be responsible for disk corruption.
See: DriveGenius = Problem
Get rid of Drive Genius. Do not install such junk on a Mac.

3TB Hard drive only shows 746Gb (Server 2003)

I was trying to set up the 3TB drive as a mirror for a 2TB drive. It was just fine (showed all 3TB) and when I tried to create a new partition, mirror wasn't an available option.
I didn't understand why, so I tried converting back to basic disk and to MBR (in desperation) and then the drive started only showing as 746.39GB.
Does anyone know how I might get it to show all 3TB again? I tried uninstalling the disk from device manager and reinitializing. I tried "CLEAN" from the diskpart tool, but nothing. It always comes back as 746Gb.
If I can't get it to mirror, I don't guess it matter, so if anyone has any input on that too, it would be appreciated.

Hi,
1. Convert it to GPT instead of MBR and see the result.
2. If issue still exists, it could be a hardware related issue. You could try to contact hard disk manufacturer for a firmware update which should able to resolve the issue.
A similar thread which point to Intel chipset update.

3TB hard drive

I have an interesting problem that I have searched a very long time for and have not yet found an answer..
I have a 3TB WD Elements drive, it works fine, loaded it with about 2.5tb worth of data. Plugged it into my linksys E4200 router as a storage device, found out the router doesn't support 3TB (it only displayed as 746gb on the router). So I safely
removed it from the router, then plugged it into back into my computer. Now it says in windows that it is a 746gb drive. In Disk management it says it is a 3tb hard drive, but windows explorer says it is 746gb. So, I know the router didn't
reformat the drive to 746gb, so what is up with windows only showing it as a 746gb drive?
Ive reinstalled drivers for the drive, updated intel rapid storage, and messed with other random things but have not come up with a solution yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to reformat it because I have so much data on
there it that reformating would be last resort.

@Vegan
Fanatic
You've
listed your rig- v. impressive but I understand nothing - presumably it's UEFI with GPT drives - making them bootable from said drive/s
The discussion in play is MBR - Its limitations and how to deploy excess from 2TB net (2.2TB gross)
If you require one Partition of 3 or 4 TB, then GPT on a MBR BIOS PC will do it, but you cannot Boot from it However, 746GB or 1617GB
excess can be allocated with Seagate DiscWizard/Acronis True Image WD EXTENDED CAPACITY MANAGER, freely available for Seagate, Maxtor, WD Drives -WARNING - Do Not Attempt without FULL BACKUP (On another Physical Drive)
TIP - Your Restored O/S or the one's in situ will only see Extended Partition if DiscWizard/Acronis T.I. WD is installed - installs driver that makes this possible
Useful Tools - WD Mybook USB3 2TB/3TB
Seagate DiscWizard/Acronis True Image WD
BOOT CD (Created from within DiscWizard/ATI) Parttition Mini Tool/Easus Partition manager (Have both, sometimes one will do what the other won't allow)
EasyBCD - essential for MultiBooting inc, Linux
'"that
talks about a freeware, but then you are way off and in bad territory" thus speaks an officianado with many points to his name. The only risk you're taking is by not Backing Up - or Backing up on the Drive you're working on - Software supplied by Seagate
and WD, although free cannot be regarded as 'third party', Storage is their business and is very flexible - clear what you've backed up and where backups are stored
'Today's Third Party Software is tomorrow's Ist Party feature in an O/S'
The
storage released in this way can only used as storage - create partition/s in normal way - NO Booting from this 'Drive' within a physical drive
Let me know, if there's anybody out there that needs an O/S Partition greater than > 2TB
Second point:
'I
have used old machines for NAS use fine. Linux and Windows can both be used.'
My question is were any of the NAS drive/s over 2TB net and did you plug them into a Router, which was
the scenario in play ? And what was the interface between NAS and PC, how fast did Linux and Windows boot from NAS compared to O/S on native SATA drive ?

Is a WD My Book Studio Desktop 3TB Hard Drive - FW 400/800, USB 2.0, Apple Time Machine Ready external hard drive bootable with my Powerbook G4 12" PPC 10.5.8?

Sirs or madams,
Is my Powerbook G4 12” PPC 10.5.8 'bootable' with a Western Digital My Book Studio Desktop 3TB Hard Drive - FW 400/800, USB 2.0, Apple Time Machine Ready external hard drive? Western Digital says officially no, but that it MIGHT be. I primarily live in China and bought a datastorage.com.cn Clearlight s400+ external hard drive enclosure with a 320GB disk drive a few years ago in China. My computer 'boots' fine from it, but since I got it in China all the paperwork, etc. is in Chinese; my Chinese isn't quite sufficient enough yet to read it. But there are references to something called "SATA", whatever that is.
My level of computer 'under the hood' knowledge is extremely low. I've been told that SATA has some relationship as to whether or not an external hard drive will boot a computer via the Firewire connection, something relating to 'interface', which I assume is how separate electronic gadgets work, or don't work, with each other.
I frankly don't care much for computers, the internet, or their related gadgets such as all these fancy phones. I longingly reminisce about the days when there were no such things. I use a computer & the internet because I have to, and unfortunately unlike a car where one doesn't have to have 'under the hood' knowledge to operate it, just knowledge of the steering wheel, brake, gas, etc., one seemingly must know a ridiculously great amount of 'under the hood' knowledge, including jargon, to operate computers.
So, please try to respond accordingly; thank you.
If this particular external hard drive won't, for certain, be bootable with my computer, can you advise as to what readily available brand/model would be in the 3TB range for a similar price, roughly $150ish??
Thank you very much.

Mr. BGreg,
Thank you very much. "...under the covers...". I think you meant "under the hood", as in a car. I suppose "under the covers" would be man/woman interfacing, which I am familiar with!
Actually, I'm back in the US now for a few months. I looked at the OWC web site, but only cusorily so far. I'll contact them; they appear knowledgeable about Apple computers.
As to what you wrote about Western Digital's cases, I certainly wouldn't want a poor case. In China I had over time gotten 3 different external drive cases, 3 different Chinese brands, and separately bought Hitachi brand disk drives that 'simply' plugged into the cases. The drives are roughly 80GB 120GB and 320GB. The two larger ones are in cases that have Firewire plugs/jacks, which are bootable with my computer.
So my understanding, as you wrote, has been that my Powerbook will boot from an external hard drive, provided it connects via Firewire, and the disk drive itself is 'normally' formatted with however my computer's own disk drive is formatted, (HFS OS extended (journaled) or some such??). So I was left wondering why Western Digital would indicate that even though their such-and-so external hard drive case/drive was Firewire capable, that they would then say it would not be bootable with my Apple PPC computer......
Well, anyway, since you indicated Western Digital's case quality is suspect, then I'll try OWC and disregard Western Digital.
Naturally, OWC should be able to address this, but your thoughts are also welcome. You mentioned the OWC cases are good with Apples. Would the disk drives OWC supplied with the cases also be of relatively dependable quality?? From my so far only cursory look at their web site they appear to have various options, including case only options where I could insert my own or their own drives. These sorts of options seem preferable, also along with quality components.
My Powerbook has been in use since 2004. In China I put in a 1.25 memory 'chip' in the bottom and installed the 10.5.8 operating system, which I understand are the maximum workable with my Powerbook. When I inquired with Chinese friends if my 1.33 GHz processor could be taken out and a more powerful one put in, they said it wasn't feasible because in my particular computer my processor was, as I recall them saying, soldered/'permanently' connected with the 'motherboard', that it would just be easier to get a new computer.
I would be with them and they would nonchalantly open it completely up showing me all its tightly arranged 'innards' while at least giving it a good internal dust/dirt clean job for cheap lunch and a beer (& so much dirt/dust/lint there was!)...these are the same folks who build the things of course...fast moving hands with tiny screws flying everywhere, but everything 100% all back in place when finished.
My Chinese friends also said that nowadays Apples are not as well built as when my Powerbook was built, that nowadays an Apple's life expectancy was considerably lower, so I fear that when I get a new computer that, though it will be more up-to-date and powerful, etc., it most probably won't last near as long as my Powerbook has. They also said that in an older computer the fan was often the first component to go bad, and if a new one couldn't be easily found, as they said was my case, then you're just left with having to get an entirely new computer. Part of why I dislike electronic computer gadgets generally is that they are obsolete so quickly.
So, anyway, thanks very much for your information.

Can I put a 3TB hard drive?

I have an AirPort Extreme in place a USB 1TB hard drive and my question is. Can I put a 3TB hard drive?

3TB is no problem.. you will need to format it on the Mac HFS+ ie Mac OS extended journaled. Don't try using FAT32 etc for such a large drive.

3Tb Hard drive and Bootcamp

Hi everyone.
I recently updated my iMac to a 3Tb hard drive, replacing the old one. Restoring MacOSX partition worked like a charm: I booted using moutain lion installer on an SD card and used disk utility to transfer partitions from the ond disk (in a USB external enclosure) to the new one.
I did the same with the bootcamp partition, but it failed miserably, as the partition isn't recognized anymore when pressing ALT at boot time.
I scavenged the whole Web, searching for a solution. I found out that my problem can't be solved, and that both bootcamp and W7 are guilty. I tried using rEFIt (or rEFInd), it led to the same failure.
Interesting fact: new iMacs can be shipped with a 3Tb hard drive...
The question, summing all my disappointment: has someone succeeded where I failed?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Qosmio G40-10E - Does it support a 12mm Hard Drive?

I've been searching on the internet for this, and I've found some websites say that it DOES support a 12mm hard drive in its bay, and others have not said this at all.
I just want confirmation that a 12mm hard drive, of 2.5", will fit into the laptop, as I wish to upgrade to the new WD 1TB 2.5" HDD, but it's not the standard 9.5mm size, but 12mm instead.
Thanks

Hi
I think Dr.Lamp is right. If your notebook is compatible to this HDD its possible to use HDDs with 12.5mm height. So you can buy this 1TB Western Digital HDD that you want.
After this you can give us a feedback how it works. 1TB is pretty much disk space and Im interested in it how it works. :)

Size allowed for 2nd hard drive.

I have an old G5 2.0 ( A1117) and want to add a 2nd hard drive. Is there a limit to how big a hard drive I can install?
I ask because I also have a G4 and there is a limit on the size that it will accept.
Thx

WARNING!!!
It might be, that the the person who told me this, meant this for 3TB external drives. Because here http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=17109770#post17109770 you see, that it doesn't work internally in a G4.
Contradicting to Japamacs posts about WD Green drives not working, they say, that Green drives work.
