Is there a hard drive size limit  that can be hooked to the airport extreme

I am trying to connect a 2TB HDD to my Airport Extreme but it doesn't see it. It is a Mac formatted drive I have been using as my backup drive but want to put it on the Airport Extreme to share some other stuff that's on it. When I hook in a 500GB drive it works just fine.
There are no windows machines (god forbid) that will share it, all Mac.
Thanks!

  • Is there a hard drive size limit for G5 imacs?

    I recently added a 1.5 TB firewire drive to my father's iMac. Since then the system has been hanging frequently and I have not been able to restart the machine remotely using either Timbuktu or ssh sudo reboot.
    Is this drive too big for leopard to handle on the G5?

  • How can I get by external hard drive to be seen by other computers on the Airport Extreme Network

    I purchased and installed an Airport Extreme yesterday.  I finally got my computers to find it, but I cannot get my wireless laptop to connect to the external hard drive that is connected to the AE using a Cat5 cable.  I have already verified that the Cat5 cable IS good so please don't advise me to change the cable.  I am 36 hours into my purchase of the AE and ready to take it back to the store because it is NO WHERE as good as the sales rep reported it to be. 

    An ethernet connected drive is actually not part of the AE setup.
    It is merely a client on the network.
    So the first chore is to find it.
    I saw in your other post it is iomega device..

    A few questions..
    Other computers can access the network hard disk??
    What OS is on the computer that is having access difficulty?
    Can you please ping the hard disk.. on a Mac open the terminal and type ping followed by the address.
    Or on a PC open the windows command and type the same thing.
    Does the hard disk respond to ping?
    Try mounting it directly in Mac by using Finder, go, connect to server.
    SMB://IPaddress
    Or CIFS://IPaddress or AFP://IPaddress
    In windows type the address directly into the windows explorer address bar
    \\IPaddress

    If time machine puts all of my photos onto my external hard drive using time machine, can I then delete the photos from my computer but view them again from the external hard drive? Basically, can I free up space on my mac but not lose years of photos?

    To add to Niel's comment bear in mind that if you have a backup copy on an external HD and later delete the orignals on your Mac HD you will then only have one copy - so no backup.
    If the pictures are precious you should have at least two copies, and ideally another copy kept off site,

  • Is there a Hard Drive Size Limitation when using Tiger?

    Im going to be setting up a backup server that users can copy their working files to, so Im going to be installing 2 300gb hard drives on a G4 running tiger. I just want to be sure that there is not some hard drive size limitation with tiger.
    Please let me know!!!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The size limitation is operating system independent. It has to do with the ATA bus on older machines which is discussed in more detail on this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
    If you have a G4 tower that is older than the resolving of that limitation, you can add a PCI ATA card which supports larger hard drives, many of which are discussed in more detail on http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/
    I'm not sure about sharing external hard drives, though the size limitation does not apply to new external hard drives purchased since that limitation was resolved with newer ATA buses.

  • What's the largest hard drive size my 8600 can support?

    hi all,
    Years ago,I noticed my 8100 Powermac couldn't support larger hard drives than 2GB so I had to partition. Now I have a 8600 Mac with a 4GB hard with no partition. What's the largest hard drive size my PowerMac 8600 can support?

    Here's an 18GB SCSI HD on eBay that says it will work on a PM 8600. http://cgi.ebay.com/18-GB-IBM-SCSI-HARD-DRIVE-Apple-Power-Mac%7CG3%7CG4%7CG5-Wrt y_W0QQitemZ120360935737QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090109?IMSfp=TL090109111005r37358
    You could also install an ATA PCI card and probably go larger.

  • Extrenal Hard Drive with Raid 1 option won't mount through Airport Extreme

    I just purchased the new Airport Extreme and the Iomega UltraMax Desktop Hard drive, 1TB. The hard drive has Raid options. I plugged the hard drive into the back of the Airport Extreme through USB and if I have the hard drive set up to be Mirrored (Raid 1), the hard drive will not show up on my desktop.
    I switched the hard drive back to Striped (Raid 0) and it shows up. However, if I open the Airport Utility, the hard drive doesn't show up there. I also can't see the drive by going into the disk utility either so I can format the drive before using it.
    Any idea why this doesn't work as Raid 1 through the Airport Extreme and then I'm puzzled with why it doesn't show up in the Airport Utility nor in the Disk Utility.
    I want to be able to access this hard drive with a laptop eventually and I also want to make sure that I protect my data by using the Raid 1 option.
    Can anyone please help me figure out these issues?

    Sure. Forget about the AirDisk and buy one of these:
    http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=509 - It's a D-Link DNS-323 2 drive bay SATA NAS box, and shouldn't cost you more than $185 without drives. It has Gigabit Ethernet, supports SMB and AFP (it'll work with Windows machines and Macs), and it even runs an iTunes server inside the box.
    http://preview.tinyurl.com/32vfc3 - Maxtor 500GB drives for $100 each shipped.
    So for ~$385, you can have 1TB of space which you can then array as RAID 0 or 1, or use as a big, contiguous drive.

  • K7T266 Pro2-RU Hard drive size limit

    What is the maximum size hard drive that the BIOS can handle for the K7T266 Pro2-RU board? The official web site and BIOS updates are sort of vague... I know that the regular limit is 137 GB, and Windows XP Service Pack 1 has some kind of workaround. Will there be problems with installing big hard drives on this board? I'm not planning on using the RAID controller...
    Thanks  

    well that works for drives over 32gb and under 137gb on boards whos bios cannot see drives over 32 gb
    but ive never seen it proved to work with drives over 137 gb in a board cannot cope thith drives that big
    bios indicates the raid has 48 bit lba support so usde your big drives on that

  • Replacement G4 hard drive size limit?

    Hello! First I want to thank all of you for sharing your troubles and fixes. I've had very little trouble with my iBook in the past few years. A refreshing change from all the monkey-motion associated with my other pc clones!
    But my hard drive has died. My question is... are there any limits on the size of hard drive? Will the iBook itself recognize a considerably larger drive than it was born with? It had a 30 GB drive and the drives now come 5 times larger or more. If there are limits, what are they?
    I've read in other posts about G3 machines not recognizing larger than 8B physical formats. However, a partition of 8GB will be recognized with the remaining physical space in one or more other partitions. Is the same true of the G4?
    Feel free to add any other advice or suggestions. Thanks!

    khsmward, Welcome to the discussion area!
    There isn't really any size limit to the hard drive that you can install.

  • Internal hard drive size limit on Mac Mini?

    am thinking about getting an intel mac mini as a music (iTunes) server.
    I see that Apple offers them with internal drives of either 80 or 120 GB.
    Since I intend to use it with a large library, I wanted to ask if there is a maximum capacity for the internal drive. Assuming that I can replace the internal drive (I would be surprised if I couldn't), I was hoping to be able to use a 500 GB, 750 GB or even a 1 TB hard drive inside.
    I was under the impression that since the Mini uses SATA drives, I can put one in of any size. Tell me if I'm wrong.
    also: I would imagine that replacing the hard drive on a mini is more involved than doing it on a standard desktop, but I'm sure that there are helpful instructions (with copious illustrations) as to how to do it.
    (I can always go with external drives - although, unfortunately, I believe my choices are limited to FW and USB; it would be nice if the Mini could use eSATA and PCI slots.)
    thanks for your input.
    w

    I can't imagine how one would hack a mini in such a fashion - but I don't know anything about their architecture.
    I have done something like that on a linux pc machine - it's fairly simple to attach an external eSATA drive to an internal SATA port, you just need a special cable to do that & power it externally. But I wouldn't imagine that the mac mini has SATA ports that are both accessible and available...
    where might I find a step-by-step guide to replacing the internal drive?
    thanks

  • G4 hard drive size limit

    Hi folks – I'm a long time PC user surrounded by Mac users who tell me they are so much better. So I’ve decided to try.
    I’ve acquired a PowerMac G4 Model M8570
    It needed a replacement hard drive. I have been fortunate to be able to clone its sister machine running OS X 10.4.7 using Carbon Copy Cloner. They both had 60 G drives. The one I put in is 320 G. The OS saw the drive as 120 G..
    Is there a way to force it to see the full size of the drive?

    Hi-
    OK- so you installed the 320gb drive into a Quicksilver (I believe) that doesn't support large drives, and did the formatting, correct? This would explain the 128gb size.
    If you need to go the clone route for the OS in the MDD, clone the sister to a smaller drive, install into the MDD (along with the 320gb drive). Boot to the smaller drive, reformat the 320gb drive, and clone again.
    Two drives (can support up to 4 in the MDD) should both be jumpered to Cable Select.

  • A20M hard drive size limit

    I'm having difficulty upgrading the hard drive in my A20M 2628 from 80GB to 160GB.  It has the latest BIOS, but I can't find any reference to Logic Block Addressing, or to hard drive capacity.  Is a 160GB hard drive more than the A20M can handle? Can anyone out there tell me the biggest drive the A20M can use?

    Welcome to the forum!
    I believe that BIOS limit is at 137GB. You can get around this by partitioning the drive on another machine, or with Linux.
    Hope this helps.

  • USB Hard Drive Size Limit

    Is there a TB size limit for external HDDs connected via USB on a mac?
    I have both a 3 TB and 4TB external 3.5" drive that will not mount via USB. They are currently connecting via a hdd dock (with USB 3, FW, and ESATA ports) to a 2009 Mac Pro running latest version of Yosemite. They will however mount via esata, the internal sata drive bay and FireWire. Also, it seems that smaller sized HDDs ~1TB and under will mount (I haven't tried 2TB since I don't have one available, but I suspect it will work).
    Note that this is not exclusive to the 2009 Mac Pro as I have tried it on the newest Mac Pro Cylinder and got the same results via USB 3. I found this was an issue in Mavericks too and tried Snow Leopard on an old iMac with the same result.
    When I inspect the disk in disk utility via USB disk utility reads that the HDD is MBR when I know that it is GPT (GUID) and all the other connections read this correctly.
    Any insight into this?
    Thanks.

    One of the drives is (connected via USB3...  )
    Drives are drives, and SATA. Know what you meant.
    Some people have taken their internal drives, put in a USB device, formats properly, then return to use internally where the full capacity is seen and not an issue.
    Why is DU treating internal drives on the SATA controller used an issue? really strange - and bad. But then Apple Pro RAID controller also limited drives to 2.2TB and would format as 800GB otherwise if they were larger.
    Still points to the drive  case.
    And in using 3rd party PCIe USB3 controller, that could play a role as well.
