Hi,
You can use a sata 3 solid drive but the connection is only sata 2. I would recommend a sata 2 solid drive instead of a sata 3 one on a sata 2 computer from my experience. Corsair is a good choice. But it's up to you and your pocket. Generally any solid state drives with the SandForce SATA controllers are good..

Does dv6-6153cl support SATA III HDDs?

I'm having trouble with my laptop and I think I've narrowed the problem down to the HDD. I want to replace it, and upgrade it, but I'm not sure what HDDs I can use.
I'd like to know if I can install a SATA III HDD into my dv6-6153cl laptop. From what I can tell it currently has a SATA II HDD installed. Can I upgrade to SATA III or am I stuck with SATA II?
This question was solved.

Get the SATA-III. Even if the motherboard would only support SATA-II (not true in your case) you can use SATA-III drives. SATA is fully backward compatible. But, again, your motherboard has the HM65 chipset which supports SATA-III. A good rule of thumb is if it has USB 3.0 it also has SATA-III. Not 100% true but awfully close to always true.

I've got a late 2009 mac mini with a 320gb hard drive and I want to upgrade it to a 1tb drive or bigger. What HDDs are compatible with my mini?

Because of the price I'm not interested in solid state drives, unless of course you want to send me $1,000.
I've already got external drives but I take my mini back and forth to work and don't want to carry those drives with me.
I'm not interested in buying a laptop. My mini works great so why waste $1,000 or more when I can buy a 1 to 3 TB hdd for under $300 and have exactly what I want. My late 2009 Mac Mini with a large hdd.
I went to Crucial's website and they can't tell me what drives fit my Mac Mini. That's where I got my ram (8GB). I'm ONLY interested in name brand quality HDDs.

The limiting factor in your 2009 mini is the max 9.5mm drive thickness.
One of the largest capacity 2.5" drives that meets this criteria is the HGST (formerly Hitachi) at 1.5GB
Any reputable SATA HDD you can find that is not thicker then this 9.5mm will work.

Which HDD is compatible with HP 120W Advanced Docking station (NZ222AA)

Please tell me which HDD is compatible with integrated SATA upgrade bay of the HP 120W Advanced Docking Station (NZ222AA).. I can't find the info neither in user's manual nor at HP site. Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Please check this:
While neither station can be upgraded, both feature an upgrade bay that allows you to install an extra hard drive. If you choose to install the extra drive, you will add additional gigabytes to your current laptop storage space. However, if you choose to take advantage of the extra space, a standard hard drive will not fit in the upgrade bay. HP offers a 500GB hard drive specifically designed for the upgrade bay on the 120W and 230W; you would need to order the upgrade hard drive through HP.

Is a SATA 6Gbp/s SSD compatible with my 2007 MB

Hello,
I was wandering whether a 6Gbp/s SATA 3 SSD is compatible with my 2007 Black MacBook. I know the MacBook is limited to 1.5Gbp/s but I need the speed improvements. Just wandering if the cables are the same and all that.
Thanks in Advance

Yes, the drive will fit - it has a 9mm x 2.5" form factor and will fit right into your current hard drive bay. If I were you, I would buy an enclosure for your old hard drive and use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the old drive to the new. See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4122.
Installing the drive is very simple - you just need a Phillips #00 and a Torx T6 screwdrivers. There are literally hundreds of videos on YouTube that take you step-by-step through the process of installing a SSD into whichever MBP model you have. I've a late 2011 and basically all I had to do was two remove the ten screws on the back panel with the Phillips, unscrew the two-screw bracket with the same Phillips, and remove the four Torx screws that hold the drive in place and reinstall those on the SSD using the Torx screwdriver. It's really a very easy process.
When you have your SSD installed and your old drive in an enclosure, you'll boot from your old drive, use Disk Utility to erase and partition your SSD ("Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition) and use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the old drive to the new. Then select the SSD as your Startup Drive in System preferences and reboot. That's it.

Does anyone has the t410 with sata III hdd inside?

Hello,
I am considering about replacing standard hdd by ssd drive and I am thinking is it sense to put SATA III drive inside.
Does anyone have this configuration and could talk about performance?
regards

I used a OCZ Agility 3 (Sata III) on the T410 previously then I moved to SSD to a W520 (support Sata III)... Both laptop boots fast and open applications at an amazing speed.... Not sure how to explain my experience though ...
I am not sure how to measure the performance cause I didn't do any benchmarking during that time ... but all I can say is .... SSDs are amazing ... hahaha
*Non Lenovo employee*
I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

I would like to know if a particular HDD is compatible with my 13" Early 2011 MBP

This question has probably been asked already but I cannot seem to make a whole lot of distinct sense out of responses so I figured I would just ask in my own terms. Please bear with me.

Urgent, my HDD is dying! : Will a Lenovo MT-M 5485 -AB6 take only a SATA III HDD?

My current HDD is a WD5000AAKS and I've been told it is not long for this world. I need to replace it, but do I need to buy the exact same model? The HDD has 500GB capacity, what is the largest capacity storage HDD the machine can handle if the replacement HDD is SATA III compatable? Does the replacement HDD have to be SATA III compatable?
Thank you in advance, with my HDD possibly sick, I'm in a race against time!

To me it sounds like the HDD is good, but the boot files on it are corrupted. The WD Extended Test does a surface scan. The WD Blue drives that Lenovo used are as reliable as any HDD made.
http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Most-Reliable-Hardware-of-2013-528/#HardDrive
Use Rescue and Recovery to restore the system, you'll then need to update Windows and any apps & user data since that backup was made. Or reload the OS from scratch, format the drive partition when you do (don't delete the partitions.) When you have the OS back, but before you do anything else, as a double-check, run Chkdsk surface scan per the above link, watch to see if any sectors were bad and "spared". If none, then the data was corrupt, no HDD problem. Could it have been a virus that corrputed your boot files? What Security program are you using?

Which hdds are compatible with hp pavilion dv6700t cto entertainment notebook pc (out of warranty)

I recently purchased a Seagate momentus as replacement http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148591 thinking it would be compatible but when i tried to replace
the connections(interface) was not compatible with the laptop. Is there an adapter to resolve this problem?
if not which hdds are compatible?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
If you have the original HDD, check that there is not a black plastic adapter that you can pull off the old drive and fit to the new one.

Portable hdd format compatible with windows?

Hi. I have formatted my 320 gb portable hdd to os extended journal format but its not compatible with windows.
If I choose MS DOS (FAT) will it be at optimum performance with my mac?
please guide me.

Hi
MS DOS (FAT) is a fully compatible format, which will work with both Mac and PC. However, you won't be able to write files which are larger than 4GB.

Does MBP 2011 use SATA III(HDD)

Does it? So can i use SATA III SSD later? Thanks

Impossible to answer right now until Apple publishes the specifications. I'd recommend you keep checking the Specifications Page, I'm not sure when it will be up though. The reason I'm thinking that is looking at current machines it only says Serial ATA. Another avenue is going to an Apple Store to ask or contacting the online Apple Store. The online store's phone number is listed in the upper left of the store's web page.

What HDD is compatible with Xserve Intel?

I want to replace my three internal hard drives as this server has been running non-stop for 6 years. I want one 500Gb and two 1TB drives.
The ADMs work great but I don't know what to buy or where.
Any help out there?

You have some hard drives compatible with the Xserve in OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Price%7c0&Ne=8056&N =6900+4294962046&Ntt=toshiba If you have a different Xserve, choose the one you have at the left side of the page

What HDDs are compatible with Equium L300-146

Hi,
I want to upgrade my hard drive, but I'm unsure about what to choose.
Can someone tell me what would be a good choice? I'm thinking somewhere around 320G.
thanks

Hi
All SATA 2.5 HDDs should be compatible since there is not hardware limitation of SATA HDD controller.
So theoretically you could take a 500GB 2.5 SATA HDD.
Cheers

Externat HDD Format compatible with Os X and Win

Hello.
I've recently bought an external HD for my macbook, and formatted it in order to use time machine, but now I don't need to use it for time machine backups, only for moving files around to other macs/pc's. How can I format this drive to be able to use it in Win and Os X ? I've formatted it with Disk Utility to MS-DOS (FAT) but i can't move files larger than 4 gb..
Is there another formatting app for osx, preferably freeware ?
I could format it directly from my PC, but what format to choose ?
Thanks !

Hi vibralucs,
sadly FAT32 is the only file system, that both OSX and Windows can read and write to without additional help.
NTFS is a modern file system for Windows, but OSX can only read from it.
For write access from OSX you can use either NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ or buy Paragons NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/
OSX uses Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as file system, which Windows can't see nor use without the help of MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/
Since FAT32 is no option for you, because of the implemented singel-file size limitation of 4GB, I personally would propose NTFS in combination with NTFS-3G or Paragon.
When formatting/partitioning the external harddisk you should make sure to set the Partition Table to be MBR (Master Boot Record) which is the common one on Windows PC.
Since some Windows PCs have difficulties recognizing/using n external harddisk that uses GPT (GUID Partition Table) which is common on Intel-based Macs.
Hope it helps
Stefan
