Is this hard drive compatible.

I'm looking to install a second internal hard drive on my Powermac G5. Is this Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 compatible?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148274
Thanks.

I bought yesterday a 750 GB Seagate SATA drive from a local dealer. I had installed previously only IDE discs on older machines,and the procedure was pretty straightforward ;never had any problem initializing these kind of discs for use with the Mac.
Installed the SATA (pretty easy and fast on the new Mac PPCs) but when the system prompted me to initialize the new disk, Disk Utility gave me the following report:
This Drive has reported a fatal Hardware error to Disk Utility
If the drive has not failed completely, back up as much data as you can and replace it with another drive
Obviously I returned it to the dealer next day. Supposedly, he installed it in a PC and was able to format it with no problem. (!?) Since he didn't offer a replacement, --and data backup being a crucial and delicate issue-- I asked for a refund. I am buying the same kind of disk --maybe a 500 GB unit if the bigger one is not available-- with another dealer. I fear this could happen again. Any idea why this could be happening and how could I initialize the disc if Disk Utility won't do the job?

  • This hard-drive compatible with T400?

    I ran a hardware scan through lenovo tools and my Thinkpad T400 2764-CTO's hard drive failed the SMART Short Self test and the Surface Scan Test-2. That's pretty bad right? (Actually it has failed those 2 tests for the past month now) 
    If it is bad, I was thinking of getting this hard-drive to replace it http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Scorpio-2-5-Inch-Notebook/dp/B005DVJJWQ/ref=pd_cp_e_2  Anyone know if it would be compatible with my laptop?
    Thanks a lot!  

    I'm sure you were hoping for a simple answer, but the answer is "maybe". This is an "advanced format" drive, which means it has 4k sectors, instead of the traditional 512-byte sectors. If you are running an OS that is aware of AF drives (like windows 7 with SP1 installed), it will work if you build the drive with a tool that is compatible, like a recent version of acronis. Rescue and recovery or OEM recovery disks will not work.  Lenovo does not guarantee compatibility with any machine that was not originally sold with AF drives, like T420.

    Once you decide on a suitable drive usually it is easiest to install the new drive in a external case and clone it with Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Once cloned then boot using the external drive with the new clone and make sure it will boot, then a Disk Utility to repair permissions on the new clone. Once satisfied that all is well then do the surgury and install the clone in the PB.
    Keep the old drive around for a week or so before you erase it and make sure the new drive is performing ok.
    By cloning you will avoid the hassel of re-installing all your software again.

  • Would this hard drive be compatible with a Compaq Presario CQ50-115NR?

    I'm wondering if this hard drive would fit in and be compatible with my laptop:
    http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=684
    I'm not sure if this 12mm, 2.5 inch drive would fit in it or be compatible with it. I plan to purchase this one if it is indeed compatible and will fit.
    Otherwise, if not, then can someone recommend another internal 750 GB SATA 3 Gb/s 8 MB Cache 5200 or 5400 hard drive for me that is just as good quality as Western Digital? Must be compatible and fit.
    Thanks and much appreciation in advance.

    Hmm... Can no one help?

  • Once I upgraded to ML, I'm now finding that my Seagate Free Agent external hard drive is no longer being backed up by Time machine.  Do I have to wait for Seagate to update their drivers for this hard drive?

    Once I upgraded to ML, I'm now finding that my Seagate Free Agent external hard drive is no longer being backed up by Time machine.  Do I have to wait for Seagate to update their drivers for this hard drive?

    I tried your suggestion, and it's been giving me the message "Preparing for Backup" for the past 8 hours.  Does this mean TM is backing up my hard drive?  I'll give it a few more hours, but if nothing else happens, I'm not sure what else to do.  I'm not sure if there are any new external hard drives that are compatible with ML yet. 

  • External Hard Drive Compatible with Mac and Windows?

    So my old laptop is a Dell Latitude and I bought a Western Digital external hard drive and put all my files/pics/music on it. The information the WD came with said its compatible with Mac and Windows, but when I plug it into my brand spankin new Macbook, it doesn't register with the computer and won't show up. What's going on?
    Message was edited by: philliesphan

    I recently ran into that problem. In order to have the hard drive compatible for both PC and Mac it must be in a FAT32 format. In order to do this though all your files will be deleted (in order to reformat). You can do this by plugging in the hard drive into you mac and going under disk utility and there you will find your hard drive and under erase change the format to FAT32 and then you press erase (all will be deleted off the external drive though)

    You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.

  • External hard drive compatible with macbook pro 10.5.8

    external hard drive compatible with macbook pro 10.5.8, i need a hard drive that will work with 10.5.8 to back everything up before upgrading to 10.6. a hard drive that is compatable with 10.5.8 has been impossible to find, a hard drive that works with both opperating systems is what i am looking for, any information that can help is appreciated

    You can buy just about any USB2.0 hard drive and use it with your MacBook Pro.  Many older external drives come pre-partitioned and formatted FAT32 for use on Windows.  Your Mac can use that file system as well, but it has limitations on file sizes.  You can always re-partition your external drive and re-format it as HFS+ (MacOS Extended Journaled) then your old Mac OS version and your new one should both be able to access it just fine.  One thing to keep in mind is that many older OSes don't really handle drives larger than 2TB well, so you would probably want to try to keep your external drive to something smaller than 2TB...

  • Will this hard drive work on a T43?

    My T43 hard drive (Fujitsu MHV2060AH) went kaput.I bought a new one, a 120Gb WD drive, just to find out T43s have a very limited list of hard drives they like. So now I have to return this drive.
    So, I can't find my old hard drive model, but I found a similar one on newegg - Fujitsu MHV2060AT (http://is.gd/rFl8).
    Does anyone know if this hard drive will work on my T43?
    Thanks!
    Bernardo

    When you said that it will not work with your T43 do you mean that you bought a SATA HDD rather than an IDE? If you have an IDE and you are just getting the ERROR 2010, saying that your HDD is not supported and that you might need to update the firmware or something, you don't have to worry, as it should still work. You will just have to decide whether you can stand the error message everytime you boot. I really doubt you will be able to find the old supported HDDs for the T43.

    Well, there are different versions of Sata.  See:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA#Revisions
    I think this is the info someone would need:
    You may want to post machine info.
    blue apple > about this mac > more info button. Click on the hardware line. It has a little triangle in front of the word hardware.
    Leave out the serial number.
    Example:
    Machine Name: iMac
    Machine Model: PowerMac4,1
    CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (33.11)
    Number Of CPUs: 1

    Look around & see if you can find the bus speed for the SATA.

    Hi Fred,
    usually any 3.5" form-factor SATA-connected harddisk works in a Mac Pro.
    So I don't see any reason for this harddisk not to work.

  • Will this hard drive work with my macbook?

    I have a late 2006 Core Duo Macbook. I was wondering if I could use this hard drive with my macbook, it's a 7200 rpm 200 gig hard drive. Btw I mean internal not external. Does the macbook have a limit on how big of a hard drive you can use? Would this hard drive work at 7200 rpm in the macbook?
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145160

    Hi.
    The drive will work perfectly in your macbook. Two weeks ago i was also thinking about buying the Hitachi Travelstar 7k200.
    But afterwards i bought this one:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136123
    The WD Scorpio 250GB. Off course it´s not as fast as the Travelstar. But for me three things we´re quiet nice about this harddrive: the noise (it doesn´t make anyone) and the price (got it for 150 euro) and it consumes way less power (means better battery life).
    http://www.storagereview.com/WD2500BEVS.sr?page=0%2C7
    BTW: It really doesn´t make any noise.
    So just in case you´re still unsure whether to buy the Hitachi or anything else. But if you want the fastest notebook HD you can get today, buy the Hitachi.
    Have a nice day and fun with your new HD!
