  • What is Max HDD size for MacBook Pro 15" bought in 2006-07

    Hi
    I bought a MacBook Pro 15" about 3.5 - 4 yrs ago. The model is A1211.
    It came with 120GB HDD, 2GB RAM.
    What is the maximum HDD size that this will support? The Apple store employee says, it will support only upto 160 GB. But, I am skeptical it would be that low.
    So, was wondering if anybody knows the max size, and also, which HDD would be best. I want at least 320 GB.

    You can get a 750 GB drive that is 9.5mm high. As far as I know, the 1 TB drives are all still 12.5 mm high, although that could change at any time.
    The fastest 750 GB drive I know of is this one:
    http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/laptops/laptop-hard-drives/
    It is 7200 RPM. At 5400 RPM, there are many other choices. You might want to shop at Newegg, which often has specials on drives, as does Tiger Direct. Newegg also has reviews of individual drives you can look at.
    Personally, I like Western Digital drives, and put the 500 GB Scorpio Black drive in my 2007 MBP, where it has performed without issue. The largest drive that originally shipped with my MBP was a 4200RPM 250 GB drive, the very biggest one you could order in a MBP back then.
    Any 2.5 inch SATA drive should work just fine. The only one I would avoid is WD's 640 GB drive because a number of people have has issues with it in their Macs.
    You might shop around on line a bit, and if you are torn between two or more drives, post back with what they are and ask for opinions. Everybody has favorite drives, so it may not be possible to get anything other than a bunch of opinions.
    One other thing to watch out for. Some drives are sold with or without some form of free fall sensor. Apple has its own built in sensor called the Sudden Motion Sensor. In some machines and drives, there seems to be a conflict between the drive's sensor and Apple's SMS. If that happens, you would need to disable Apple's sensor. Usually it's easier just to select the drive without a built-in sensor and let Apple's SMS work as its designed to do. In the Seagate drive I linked, it's called "G-Force", but would have a different name in a different brand.
    Incidentally, you can up your RAM to 3 GB if you like.
    Good luck!

  • Maximum HDD size for Satellite Pro 4290 ??

    My hard disk is wearing out (Win 98 tells me it has many bad sectors). Do I have to fit a 6gig hard disk or can I upgrade? If so, how big a disk will the latest BIOS address?
    I think I need a 2.5" 9.5mm disk, but I don't know if there are any other specifications I have to adhere to.
    ALSO, if I buy a USB hard disk for back-up etc, will the computer see it? Is there a maximum size for external USB disks?
    HELP!!!!
    Mike

    Hi Mike
    There is no precise information or specification about this issue but I am sure that you can use 10 GB HDD without any problems.
    I have two external HDD`s and I have no problem because I use both with USB 2.0. Your unit has just USB1.1 Maybe you should not use HDD with high capacity. I will try to connect my 30GB external HDD to USB1.1. After that I can report you what exactly happens.

  • What is the maximum HDD size for Pavilion DV7-3105ea and can I add a 2nd HDD.

    Hi,
    Please could someone advise me as to the maximum HDD size that can be installed in a Pavilion DV7-3105ea.
    Additionally is it possible to add a second HDD.
    Thanks and kind regards,
    jB

    There is no theoretical limit the only limit is what is sold on the market. Any correctly sized SATA laptop drive will work. They do now make 1TB drives that will fit and yes there is a secondary hard drive bay so theoretically you could have 2TB of storage. You are going to need 1 or 2 drives like this:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152291
    The drive has to be 9.5 mm in height some 1TB laptop drives are too thick.
    You also likely need a second hard drive caddy/connector like this:
    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=222&zenid=2a83d0d222d80c6...
    And here is a link to the Manual showing how to get to the hard drive bay:
    Drive Manual
    Check your system to see if a secondary drive caddy/connector is there but it likely is not and you need the part linked above. Good luck.

  • Max hdd size for ms-6140 ??

    anyone out there know the maximum size that the ms-6140 motherboard can handle?? its also called the 'micro ATX EX7' on some occasions.
    ive searched alot and cant find anything...
    bios has been flashed to most recent version, even though its only from 1998...
    thanks for any help!
    oh and i dont have any hdds lying around to simply test the boards capabilities :(

    thanks, i didnt really know what those extra jumpers on HDDs were for.
    i borrowed a 40gb HDD off a friend and did as you said, the bios then auto-detected it as being about 33000MB in size.. would this be the maximum HDD size?
    you did mention that by its age, the max HDD size might be 32GB, so this all sounds like we've found the answer;
    have we?
    thanks heaps!  )

  • Max HDD Size for Satellite 3000 -514 with BIOS 2.30

    Hi folks !
    What is the largest HD size notebook recognizes with BIOS 2.30.
    I found no FAQ information ragarding this BIOS version.
    Thx for your help.

    Hi
    The Satellite 3000-514 supports the HDD sizes up to 30GB.
    You need a HDD 2.5", 9.5mm support bus master IDE, Ultra 33/66 synchronous DMA
    Bigger HDD sizes are not supported and I suppose the BIOS will not recognize it.

  • Maximum supported HDD size for HP Elitebook 8440p runing Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit

         Hello, I've just purchased an HP Elitebook 8440p "Off Lease" from Tigerdirect and am looking to upgrade both memory (from 4 GB to 8 GB) and put in the largest allowable HDD I can. Either a 512 GB SSD or a 1TB WD Hybrid WD BLACK2 (1 TB HDD / 120 GB SSD Combo drive in One Package!). I would appreciate knowing the Largest Addressable HDD using Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit OS since I don't seem to able to find that info on the web. HP only offers only a 256 GB SSD in its Specs. but I wasn't sure if that was do to BIOS limitations or availability at time of production, same for HDD at 512 GB.
         Also, I would like to know if the Drive Bay's 9.5mm compliant which it needs to be for the WD drive. Can't find that either and while the new laptop has yet to arrive, not everyone measures precisely the same way as to what will work and what just can't be "cheated".
         Thank you for taking the time to read this and ANY information along these lines would be Greatl Appreciated!

    Hi,
    You can install 1TB HDD or SSD (even more), no problem. Many SDD's now are thinner than standard 9.5mm but they normally come with with plastic or even metal part(s) to raise up to 9.5mm standard. FYI: few days ago, I installed a Crucial 960GB M500 SSD to one of my laptops to test Windows 10, it has a metal frame which allows it to fit nicely on a normal laptop HDD bay,
    Regards.

  • Maximum hdd size for T60

    I have a T60 type:8744-5BU. I have read on Levono that 160gb is the largest  hdd that is compatible with this unit.
    Will any 2.5" ide drive work?  And what is the SATA that is in the device manager. Will this system use a SATA drive also?  I have down loaded and ran files to enable the sata.

    Welcome to the Forum!
    What you read on the Forum was probably a discussion about T43 or T23 maximum hard drive capacity- perhaps this thread:  http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Legacy-ThinkPads-Z60-61-G40-41-A/Hard-Drive-Capacity-for-T23/m-p/1021013.... Those models utilize PATA or IDE (older technology) hard drives, which capped out at about 320GB.
    Your T60 takes 2.5" 9.5mm SATA hard drives, not PATA hard drives. SATA hard drives are available in capacities much larger than 160GB. They have gone pretty rapidly from 160GB---> 250GB--->320GB--->500GB---> 750GB and are currently available in 1TB (terabyte) capacity. No one seems to have broken the 1TB barrier yet, but who knows what tomorrow holds.
    As for drivers, yes the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Drivers must be installed to enable AHCI (SATA mode) in BIOS versus IDE (compatibility mode). This will allow your laptop to take full advantage of SATA technology and (theoretically) improve drive performance. However, there will be no real noticeable or measurable difference in real world use, especially on a T60, whether operating in AHCI or Compatibility mode. There are lots of discussions you can read up on concerning "AHCI SATA" if you plug such words into the <Search> bar above. 
    Edit: You received an excellent response to your question above just as I was typing. Now you have two answers to your question.
    Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)

  • Maximum hdd size for MacBook Pro 17" (late 2006)

    I have macbook pro and looking to upgrade the base HDD of 160GB to maximum supported. I bought this in march 2007, so should be late 2006 model.
    Can someone share the knowledge, if they had upgraded to the bigger HDD? Also what capacity we can go as max?
    Thx

    The only limit you have is about 1TB - now about the largest drives that will fit in notebook computers. Do you really have the need for something so large, though. You could get a good price on a 500-750GB drive and that would increase your internal storage nicely. Your model and OS don't limit you to the size of the hard drive you can install.

    Hi,
    Based on the following specs, it uses SATA (most likely SATA II) HDD therefore you can use larger (capacity HDD). A 750Gb with 7200RPM will be very nice for this machine:
       http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=...
    You may need to update BIOS for the machine:

  • Max HDD size for Satellite M30

    Hi all,
    I recently aquired a Toshiba Satellite M30 notebook with a defective HDD, Im just wondering what is the maximum size drive I can put in this thing, I have a 250Gb drive I can use, but dunno if it will be able to address the drive at its actual size

    On this old notebook model you can use HDDs with IDE connector only and, as Akuma already wrote, there is 128 GB limitation so I recommend you to buy 100GB IDE HDD and I think it will be OK for this old notebook model.

  • What is the max hdd size for a macbook 2.1 (late 2006)

    I have a Macbook 2.1 (late 2006). Its 80 MB HDD crashed.
    What maximum HDD capacity/size can my Macbook handle?

    Replace it with any notebook sized, 2.5", SATA I or II HDD. Presently, the largest that will fit is a 1.5 GB drive by Toshiba. You cannot install a drive that is over 9.5 mm high.
    Look for drives at OWC to get an idea of what's available and pricing. You can buy the drive you want anywhere reliable you want, so look for the best price available for the make and model you choose. Good brands are Hitachi, Seagate, Toshiba, and Samsung.

    Hello,
    That 2.5" 9.5mm high 1TB Western Digital SATA hard disk drive will work fine in a T61 or a T61p.  You can even install a Hitachi 5K1500 hard disk drive with 1.5GB of storage.  Both it and the Western Digital drive you linked to are 5400 RPM hard disk drives.  If you would like something faster, Hitachi has the 7K1000, which is a 7200 RPM hard disk drive. 
    The key thing to make sure is that the drive you purchase is no taller than 9.5mm, like the one you selected or the Hitachi models listed above.  Some higher capacity (1TB+) drives come in a 12.5mm or 15mm high enclosure, which won't fit inside a T61 or T61p.

  • Maximum HDD size for Satellite Pro 6000?

    Hi, I am trying to install a 60 GB HD, but it formats, and it stops at Windows XP Pro instalation.
    Is there a limit to HD size?
    Thanx,
    Ronaldo

    Hi,
    does it stop without any error message? If not then try another copy of WinXP since the Satellite Pro 6000 shouldnt have problems with that harddrive. I had 2 years a similar machine and I also had a 60GB Toshiba HDD installed. It worked like a charm, so I cannot imagine that the harddrive could be the problem.
