How many disk drives can I have in my T510?

Hi everyone,
I am pretty new to laptops in general. I just got a Lenovo Thinkpad T510. I bought it with a 128GB solid state drive. Now that I have it, I kind of want to have a HDD slave drive that is dedicated to VMs and applications. However, I can't tell if the laptop can support an additional drive. I am pretty used to working with desktop hard drives, but I am not familiar with laptop drives.
How do I check if the laptop can even support an additional drive? Is this in a manual or a spec chart somewhere? Or do I have to remove a bottom panel to check?
In the event it doesn't support any additional drives, can I swap out the DVD drive for a HDD?
Also, I do have a USD drive. What are the odds that I can just load up programs onto that?
Basically what are the options I have? My main goal is to have a SDD drive for the OS and a HDD drive for VMs/applications.
Thanks in advance for the help!
-Joe

How many external drives can i have on Pavillion p7-1154 compter

I have four usb ports on our 1154. one is used for printer, one is used for skype, one is used for a Western Digital 'MY BOOK' external drive, and one is not in use.
Can I use the remaining usb port for another Western Digital External Drive, which also requires a usb port.
I think the answere is 'YES', but before I connect the second one, I thought I would ask, just to be safe.
Thanks for any help, comments, or questions... Wayne

Thanks a lot for the interrupted reply.
The WD external drive I now have attached is a USB3, 2TB drive. The one I want to add is also a WD drive, a USB2 USB3, meaning that it is a USB2 but is compatible with a USB3. It is a 1TB Drive.
The reason I want to add the second drive is basically security. I dropped one external drive several years ago and the data were never recovered. I just want a second backup of all the data on the hard drive.
On the box of the 1TB drive is says that it is compatible with a USB3 Drive, and this may have answered my question. However, I am not sure of this and that is why I am asking the question as to whether or not I can have two external drives on the P7-1154.
When I originnaly attached the current USB3, 2TB drive, I immediately had a new folder come up named MY BOOK (K and that is where I back up all my data.
I am assuming that when I attach the new, 1 TB drive to the empty USB port I will Immediately get another MY BOOK folder but with a different name, probably MY BOOK (K2 , or something like that.
My real Question I guess, is whether the Computer will recognize this as a different drive and give it a different name, or whether the computer might not be able to accept a second drive.
I do not want to take any chance of confusing the computer in any way, and so that is why I posted this question.
Thanks again for the earlier response. Hope your error messages have gone away.
Hopefully this more detailed question will be helpful for you to give me more advice, one way or the other, on whether or not I should add a second external drive.

I'm a school tech coordinator. Many computers and many iPads. How many Apple IDs can I have per device, and how many devices can have the same Apple ID? To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

I'm a school tech coordinator. I have many computers and many iPads. I apologize if there is a some place that has all the rules governing the use of Apple IDs. I looked, and I even tried to get the answers from multiple Apple rep's. I couldn't find the answers.
How many Apple IDs can I have per device?
I want to use the same computer to sync and backup many iOS devices. The iOS devices would be associated with different Apple IDs.
I may load apps under a school Apple ID and have users load their own apps under thier own ID.
How many devices can have the same Apple ID?
Can I use the same Apple ID on all the computers in a lab?
Can I use the same Apple ID on all iPads for a particular grade level?
Are the rules different for iOS devices and computers?
I know that there are limits on "authorize" and "de-authorize" and how frequently those things can be done.
Recently I heard that for the life of an iOS device, it can only be associated with five Apple IDs. That is not good for a school giving iPads to students in a 1:1
To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

It would be best to address your questions there, especially since this is a public forum, and over there you could post more private issues with this set-up. Not to mention, getting more official answers.

How many motions tweens can you have on a timeline?

I'm a college student in Seattle. We just had our mid-terms in Flash CS5. One of the really simple questions was "How many motion tweens can you have on a timeline." Yup. The answer is one...... or is it? I had a long discussion with my tutor (who is the greatest tutor in the world) and he wanted to think about it. I said to him that I thought that one motion tween was wrong because you can click on an object in the timeline, make it a motion tween, and double click it and make several motion tweens. So, essentially, you can have more than one motion tween on a timeline. Is anyone able to advise me because this is all about grades!

You can have quite a few motion tweens on a timeline. You can even have them happening simultaneously (I don't know of a specific limit), as long as they are all on their own layers. Though the more you add simultaneously the more they can weigh down the speed of things running.
If you need to prove this to someone, the easiest way is to create it and demonstrate it. But you may want to check the exact wording of the question... it would not be beyond an examiner to throw a trick question in.

How many ADFS farms can you have in a single forest/single domain?

Hi
I may have some terminology incorrect...please let me know if I do. :)
My question is, how many ADFS farms can you have in a single forest/single domain? If you want to know why I am asking...please read on.
We have 1 ADFS Farm and we are looking adding services to it. However not every cloud vendor provides a "Identity Broker" with there services.
We have a consultant that is advising that we need to enable a SAML-based IdP-initiated single sign-on (SSO) ie using "IdpInitiatedSignOnPage"
However to do this we need to modify the ADFS website to have "drop down" list so the user can select the "Relying Party" and then authentication with them.
This means we are exposing a list of every company/party we have federated with. The exposure of this information, is deemed a security concern by our company....which I agree with.
So the consultant advises that we need a separate ADFS farm. I have searched online, but haven't found any information that confirms multiple ADFS farms can be implemented in a single forest/single domain.
Thanks for reading and if you have any other suggestions...I'd appreciate it.
Nyobi

This is not exactly FIM related question - there is ADFS forum available on Technet. However - technically there is no limit of ADFS farms in a forest \ domain. It is just a service which uses AD and is not altering it in any way or storing some forest-wide
information like Exchange. So you can setup two ADFS services in single forest - no problem.
If it is a best solution to your problem? I can't say with that limited information but maybe just customization of pages on ADFS side would be enough?

Hello, how many hard drives can fit? I'd like to keep the included hard drive but also add a small ~30GB SDD to host Windows on. Is this possible or is there only one free SATA port?
Solved!

Oh, there's an mPCIe slot? Will this work/fit along the standard HDD?

How many firewire drives can I daisy chain on the mac mini

How many firewire g-drives can I daisy chain on my mac mini

From personal experience, if they are bus powered portable drives,
the answer is none. For what ever reason, they are draw a lot of
power and are probably near the edge of the bus powering specs.
Then again, these were the fastest of all the portable FW drives that
I have (Iomega and Seagate being the others), which may have
something to do with it.
I had also noticed an issue with them even with USB. Plugging one
into the Mini or even a powered USB hub would be fine, but 2 would cause
both to be inaccessible, unless I used a couple of USB "Y" cables
that would distribute the power across other ports.
If they are externally powered, you could string a bunch.

How many Apple TVs can you have on one iTunes account?

Just wondering how many Apple Tvs I can put on my iTunes account. Already have one in the living room and I was looking to put one more in the bedroom.

That would be fine.

How many apple TVs can you have on one network 5, 10, 15, infinite?

I have an application where there are many rooms and I would like to be able to use Airplay in each room, can I buy 10 or more Apple TV units and put them all over my house on my wireless network and be able to airplay to any one of them? What is the limit of Apple TVs that I can have in one area. Has anyone tried this? How many have you maxed out at? What is the limitation?

There is no specified limitation but you will encounter a practical one. It will be a function of the numerous and generally unpredictable variables that affect any wireless network.
Ten Apple TVs is certainly within the realm of possibility though. This post reports success with fifteen of them.

How many Management agents can you have running simultaneously on a host?

Hi all,
I've scoured the Oracle documentation and not been able to find a definitive answer to this question, how many Oracle management agents can you have on a single managed host target? Can you for example run an 11g agent and a 12c agent simultaneously (whilst migrating to 12c without upgrading the present OEM instance) If so can you run two 12c agents, each pointing to a different OMS? I’ve seen examples of an agent for each database instance on a host managed target, so a host with three Oracle database instances has three Oracle Management agents all pointing to the same OMS with each agent is monitoring just one of the database instances. There must be resource considerations here for memory, cpu and network traffic etc? I’ve always understood it to be one Oracle Management Agent per managed host
Thanks

I don't think there's any data on impact or performance since it's not a recommended configuration. If you have host/configuration monitoring enabled on both agents, they will be running the same queries/scripts against the host/inventory, etc. so they will likely have contention at some point. If you monitor the same databases, you will definitely see contention and increased overhead as there will be multiple agents running the same queries. You might also see problems w/ any of the server generated alerts (tablespace, etc) if you change thresholds as the agents send that to the database, and then the database will be out of sync with the other agents.
What exactly is the goal for having multiple agents? Is it short term or long term?

How many hard drives can i stream from one mac for apple tv

Hi a newbie to all this ive got a 500gb external hd and running out of space but am looking to buy a 1tb but i want to set it up as im using both hard drives so i get 1.5tb as this is a cheaper option for me is this possible and how
many thanks for your time

You need to turn off the option to copy content to the iTunes folder in iTunes preferences, then when you add new content to iTunes you will need to place the content on one of the HDDs and then drag and drop it onto iTunes from a finder window.
Or you can alternatively leave the "Copy" option on and simply press the Alt-key when dragging and dropping content to momentarily suspend the "Copy" of the dragged content to the library. (I.e., iTunes will gladly manage both copied and non-copied content as long as you do not move or delete the non-copied files at the Finder level after adding them to the iTunes database.)
