Welcome to the forum!
Your machine will gladly take a 250Gb Western Digital, which is the largest PATA HDD in existance at this moment. It's also a 5400rpm, and quite a few people have found it almost as fast as some 7200rpm drives.
If you're intent on keeping that machine for a long time, you may want to get a Seagate drive, since they come with a 5-year warranty. And new Momentus 3 are very, very nice.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
George

Hi,
This says 500GB:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=...
However, a 750GB hard drive might work too. I can't say for sure as your pc is a desktop and this section is for laptops but the recovery disk/s may not work on a much bigger drive than the original one anyway.

Physical Harddrive Size in x100e

Sorry if this is obvious, but I've looked at the specs and searched google and everything and can't for the life of me figure out what size the harddrive is for the x100e. Is it 1.8" or 2.5"? Thanks much!

It's a 2.5" (max 9.5mm height).

PBG4 Ti 1Ghz: Is there a limitation on harddrive size?

Hi,
I want to upgrade a PowerBook G4 Titanium 1Ghz. It's the last model before the Alu models came out and has a 60GB 4.200 rpm drive. Is there any limitation on the maximum possible size of the harddrive? Or can I just get the biggest and fastest PATA drive I want? I'm thinking about something like 120GB/7200 or 160GB/5400.
Thank you
Björn

i did some research over at the excellent site xlr8yourmac.com in their drive database and it turns out the titanium machines (at least the 867/1ghz) will support drives larger than 137gb... so there you go!
also, the 250gb WD drive i mentioned in my prior post is 5400rpm... seems like it would be perfect for your needs. The pricing ive seen on them is usually a little less than $200 US.

Replacing Harddrive -- size?

One of my harddrives is failing SMART check and needs to be replaced. Its the one I keep my iTunes files on and it is a 1.5TB Drive. I'd like to get my files off the drive before it dies completely.
I've been looking at the 3 and 4 TB dives as replacements. I've been reading comments about 3TB Drives having problems but haven't found anything specific. WHat's the latest? I'd really like to go with a bigger drive for the storage space but I don't want to add a problem.
Any suggestions?
ALSO Should a large drive be partitioned above a certain size or is that "old school?"

I'm sorry to hear that Grant or anyone else has been having trouble with their machine. I've had no problems whatsoever with partitioning or erasing any 3TB or 4TB drive in my Mac Pro 4,1 running under Mountain Lion (10.8) or Mavericks (10.9). I do a fair amount of system testing on things, so data gets moved around quite a bit, drives get partitioned and reformatted fairly regularly.
Currently I'm using a single 4TB drive, partitioned as one big drive, to store my iTunes library/media. Previously, I'd had the drive partitioned as 1TB/3TB, and 500GB/3.5TB. I have another 4TB drive currently with 3 partitions, and a 3TB drive in a single partition. Neither Disk Utility nor Drive Genius have ever reported a problem with either drive.
I had a friend with a Mac Pro 3,1 who did have a problem using a 3TB drive once, but if I remember correctly he resolved the problem by disconnecting all his external drives (FW & USB) and rebooting.
The advice I'd offer is to avoid the WD green drives (or other manufacturer's equivalent) AT ALL COSTS. They're great drives for casual use, but aren't really suited to big workstations or server hardware. I'm a fan of Western Digital's red drives (or other manufacturer's equivalent) for an iTunes media library. Those drives are designed for use in servers and network attach storage, and while they're not the fastest drives out there they're fast enough for serving up movies and music (on either the machine locally or over the network to AppleTV's, etc).

Harddrive Size Limit?

Hello,
I was wondering what the size limit of a HD for PB G4 17-in? I know there are some good sized HD out there and I am looking to upgrade.
Thanks!

There are also 17inch G4 Powerbook's with a S-ATA HD.
In your post's above you did not mention what kind off HD you needed.
If you have a ATA connector, then you are restricted to the 160 GB drive's. If you have S-ATA, then you can go up too 200 GB . (It is GB, not Ghz)
Hopefully this solved your problem. (see button above this message)

SatPro 6100 harddrive size limit?

I need to replace the HD on my 6100. It has a 40gb MK4019GAX drive which is dying. This laptop has been running Linux for years. It works better than any windows PC I have owned. That's why I want to keep it alive.
Is there a size limit for HDs in the 6100?
(I recently bought a Satellite A305-S6905, but it has Vista. )

ToshibaDirect offers a 250GB internal drive for the Satellite Pro 6100. That would lead me to believe that the 6100 has a 48-bit LBA and can therefore take any size 2.5" PATA drive you can find.

HardDrive Size Limit on TiPB1GHz? 128Gig?

Bought the new Seagate 5400rpm Momentus 160 Gig from OWC.
It is the ATA/100.
I will only format as a 128 Gig .. I note that some older PowerMacsG4s had listed a 128 Gig (137.3 billion Bytes) limit unless some special driver was installed... doubt this was ever anticipated for our 3 yr old PBks. Does any one know if the Ti PBks also have this 128Gig Limit and how to possibly get around it?
Thanks

Did you format in an external enclosure or in the PowerBook? Many if not most small enclosures do not have the right chip for larger drives. This is an old problem well known with 3.5 inch drives. Because it works with large firewire drives I would assume it will be all right.

Adding a Harddrive....questions

Is there a maximum harddrive size the macbook allows? I just got a 160 gig HD from newegg today and I just want to know if it will work without an issue.
Has anyone here rigged there macbooks with a 160 gigger?
Any issues?
Hope to hear from you!

Yep. Actually put your OSX disc in, shut the computer down, remove the HD and replace it with you new one, then when you start it up hold down the C key and it'll boot to the disc that's already inside your MacBook.
If you look at Apple's PDF manual on replacing the drive you won't see the step (unless they've amended it) to remove the bracket on the old drive and put it on the new one. But it's pretty straight forward and you'll be fine.

FPGA module unzip problem

I downloaded the FPGA module into a controler of a PXI, running XP. When I tried to unzip it, the upzip operation would fail everytime. What is causing this? Is there some kind of requirement to unzip this? Harddrive size requirement?
Kudos and Accepted as Solution are welcome!

Thanks for helping. I found out what was the problem. I downloaded the FPGA module through the link below. When I tried to unzip it, I would use the default path. Apparently, the default path has a space at the end of its 2nd folder, counting from the end of the path. This is a small bug from NI, but it needs to be fixed. It is a hard problem to catch, since I didn't expect something like that to happen.

2 buy or not 2 buy

I am a happy iPhone owner. I have some friends who are also happy iPhone owners who have recently purchased the iPod Touch as well. I am in a quandary. Am I missing something? Is there something that the "Touch" can do but that my iPhone cannot? (of course, short of the wifi itunes store that we are patiently waiting for in a promised, soon to be released, later this week, sometime this month, you'll get it when we're ** ready software update.)
Much obliged!

*you are missing out on is the bigger harddrive size*
Since the iPhone and Touch do not have hard drives, it's more storage, not a bigger hard drive.

Large file after Exporting to wmv file

I just exported an mp4 file to windows media (wmv) and the file is 4x larger than the original. Is that normal after a conversion?
Nano

I have a similarly related problem. I am converting some video files to .m4v and i notice that even though the total size of the new files will be (for example) 1gig, the size of the folder i save the files to will be around 7gigs. i accidently saved a group of files to the desktop and it seems to have curtailed my harddrive size. i was wondering if you knew of a way to find all the extra fat and free the space back up on my harddrive.

5TH Generation iPods: Difference between 30GB & 60GB?

Besides harddrive size and another ounce or so in weight, is there any other difference between these models? In other words, if I get the 30GB model over the 60GB model, are there features I will be missing out on over the 60GB model or are the models identical in features?
Thanks.

Nah, I doubt I will be uploading video, lol. What's the point? Maybe a clip here and there but certainly not movies. I don't see any excitment watching a movie on a 2.5" screen:)
BTW, it's my understanding that movies MUST be in the quicktime format to work with iPod? In that case, I could just convert to quicktime before I transfer?
Thanks.

TMS server and WinSXS - HD space issues

I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem with disk space on their TMS servers? I'm running TMS 14.4.2 on a virtual server, and my hard drive is filling up with various files. I have gone in an deleted some old software versions from the TMS folder, but the big culprit is my Windows directory! It is currently at 25GB and growing - inetpub and winsxs are the problem folders.
Various windows forums say that there isn't anything you can do about the files in winsxs, and Cisco TAC advised me to carefully remove some files from the inetpub folder (subfolder Logs). Am I the only one having these issues?
The TMS installation guide states that only 4GB of disk space is required for the application footprint, but doesn't say what the recommended harddrive size is. Let me clarify this, however - I'm using an external SQL database - NOT local.
My TMS server has been acting odd lately, and I have had to restart some services from time to time, or do a full reboot. I'm quite certain that my VM server is running as per Cisco's recommendations:
Cisco TMS can be installed in a virtualized server environment as long as the virtual machine is allocated
sufficient dedicated resources to meet the server and hardware requirements for installation. The resources
allocated to the Cisco TMS server instance must be dedicated, and not shared with other server instances.
My OS is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Service Pack 1., 7GB RAM, Intel Xeon CPU E5-2670 0 @ 2.60 GHz 2.60 GHz, 64 bit.
If you have any feedback or suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Would be interesting to know which HD size you provisioned and how much free space you have left now. I always recommend around or more than 100GB for the C: drive then you most like have no stress.
Storage is cheap, trouble you have now is stressful.
Many strange symptoms of TMS can be fixed by deinstalling and reinstalling TMS (and TMSPE if used) connecting the same DBs afterwards
As you use an external database, what you could do is to stop the old TMS, install a new windows server and TMS and then reconnect to the same database. If you do not trust you windows nor the TMS install.
(also possibe, deinstall tms on the old one, resize the partition, reinstall TMS).
This guide is a bit older but might help you here as well:

Sure, strangeness of TMS could also be an issue with the DB, OS, something in your network, ...
