Max disk drive size for dv7-6187cl

what is the maximum disk drive size?  I have one failing (still under warranty) but I might want ot upgrade to a 2TB mobile drive.  Does anyone know if this laptop will support anything larger than the 750GB drives that came with it?

Hi,
My dv7 has 2 HDD's each is 1TB in size.
Hope this helps.

  • Max Hard Drive size for Ultra 10s

    Hi,
    I'm kinda new to sun and I have a ultra 10s with a 9 Gig factory installed HD.
    I was wondering what the maximum sized IDE hard drive that can be installed. I would like to mirror the system as well. I've seen another post about this but the max size was a 27 Gig drive and didn't explain how to mirror. I have Solaris 8 1/01 meda kit does that include the required software to mirror the drives. I think it's called Raid Manager?
    Many thanks

    I'm not sure what the max drive size supported on an Ultra-10, but most
    new Sun products are shipping with 40 GByte EIDE drives and use the
    same chipset. Caveat emptor: Solaris <7 may or may not support EIDE
    larger than 8GBytes, but since you are on Solaris 8 you should be ok.
    For SCSI drives (requires a PCI SCSI HBA for the Ultra-10) the size can
    be quite large. The most common large size SCSI drives today is 180
    GBytes, but SCSI is designed to scale much larger.
    You don't want RAIDManager for mirroring. Look for Solstice DiskSuite (SDS)
    in your media distribution. If I'm not mistaken, it is cleverly hidden in
    the "EA" directory on CD 2of2 in the media kit. Also, look for docs on
    mirroring root using SDS on http://docs.sun.com

  • Max Hard Drive Size for Airport Extreme 4th Generation (A1354)?

    I've got a 4th gen Airport Extreme (A1354) (MC340LL/A).
    Currently I'm using a 2TB Western Digital USB2 hard drive connected externally.
    I'd like to add a larger capacity hard drive so that I can back up more computers. What's the maximum HD size and configuration I can add to this Airport?
    Thanks!
    Seth

    For now, the nearest available information may not be fully suggestive of
    the possible largest or unofficially supported external HDD it may use...
    Since a similar-spec Time Capsule has the option for either a 2TB or 3TB
    internal HDD as part of that configuration, the safe bet suggests 3TB.
    There may be an issue with larger drives and multiple computers using
    one large drive, since I'd seen some mention of a few user problems when
    two or more Macs were sharing Time Machine storage on one larger HDD.
    And someone may know of the information about a software utility that may
    be able to help keep track of the files or organize them, in such a situation.
    In passing, some weeks ago, I'd read about such a utility to help alleviate an
    issue that may result from two or more Macs with Time Machine files on the
    same backup hard disk drive. But did not keep the link nor retain those details.
    If you did get a larger external hard disk drive of sufficient spin rate RPM
    and cache size, then it may be a simple matter to format it with partitions
    so extra space may be in reserve or any capacity unable to work with
    the total configuration could be used for general storage, apart from TM.
    Hopefully there is a good drive available for that application.
    I'd inquire of OWC as they have some examples of hardware.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Max Hard drive size for Powerbook 1.5

    I need to increase the internal hard drive on my '15 Powerbook 1.5Ghz. What is the max size that the Powerbook can handle? I would like to get one that's at least 160g.

    The maximum drive size that your PB can handle is far larger than any currently available drive. The largest drive available (or likely to become available) is this 320GB Western Digital drive:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136345
    It's also available from other vendors, of course; to find other vendors selling it, just Google its Western Digital model number.

  • Max. hard drive size for Pavilion a800n

    Hi,
    One last question, I'm replacing the hard drive (160G) in my old Pavilion a800n and am wondering what the max size would be (would like at least 500G). Guess I could partition if needed...
    Win. XP (32 bit), Phoenix BIOS, LTD 3.11, 9/2/2004. 
    Thanks! 
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Sorry, based on the following specs, I would not upgrade the HDD. If you need more space for data/files, buy an external HDD.

  • Max Expansion card size for treo palm 700wx

    I can't seem to find the max expansion card size for a treo palm 700wx. I purchased a 4gb Scan Disk which should be compatible with most ever device so expect that the hardware dosen't support up to 4gb. If anyone has futher information on this I would appriciate it.

    that I have used with no problem is a Transcend 150X Secure Digital Card 4GB.  My pictures and tunes along with backups reside on it.  Had it for a year. In use 2200.03MB with 1718.30MB free currently.

  • Macbook pro late 2008 max hard drive size

    I have a MacBook Pro Late 2008.  I think the max RAM is 8GB but what is the max hard drive size.  It is running Yosemite.  It currently has a 1TB drive.

    I solved the heat-issue in Windows Vist32 (tested and worked!)
    This should also work in XP, XP64 and VISTA 64 although not tested.
    Goto the Nvidia website and download the latest notebook drivers (http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_drivers.html).
    Uninstall your old notebook drivers through device-manager and restart.
    Now install the Nvidia notebook drivers you just downloaded and restart.
    *NOW THE IMPORTANT PART!!!*
    After numerous hours of testing i found out that installing new Nvdia display drivers overwrite some Nvidia chipset drivers. This causes your fans not spinning at all under heavy GPU load.
    *THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE BECAUSE TEMPERATURES CAN EASILY PASS 100 degrees celsius.*
    Now for the fix in four easy steps!
    1. Under Windows insert your MacOS original install-disc (the one with the bootcamp drivers)
    2. Choose to explore the Bootcamp folder.
    3. Now open the drivers folder and browse to the Nvidia folder.
    4. Now install the package called nvidiachipset. These come in all flavors (XP, XP64, VISTA, VISTA64) choose the correct version for your OS.
    After installation a reboot is not even necessary. Start your favorite game and notice the extreme humming of your speeding fans! Should sound like music!
    *So remember. Every time you update your graphics drivers A REINSTALL OF THE CHIPSET DRIVERS FOR YOUR UNIBODY MBP MUST BE DONE!! If you don't the fans won't come up under heavy load which will result in a BUSTED GPU!!!*

  • Will the1TB SATA Hard Disk Drive Kit for Mac Pro now in the Mac Store work with my Mac Pro1,1?

    Will the 1TB SATA Hard Disk Drive Kit for Mac Pro now in the Mac Store work with my Mac Pro1,1? My details of my Mac Pro is as follows:
    Model Name:          Mac Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacPro1,1
      Processor Name:          Dual-Core Intel Xeon
      Processor Speed:          2.66 GHz

      L2 Cache (per processor):          4 MB
      Memory:          6 GB

      Hardware UUID:          00000000-0000-1000-8000-0017F2059956

    It will say "green" and use less power, park its head probably, and while early units had some trouble they have evolved. Variable rpm or slower rpm also. They can be much less expenisve way to add storage. 
    WD Caviar Green
    WD Green 2TB
    For the system, 640GB is a nice size. Look for 64MB cache to help insure your drive is the latest models which will also say "6G SATA 3" which is fine.
    WD Caviar Black 1TB 6Gb
    WD Black Caviar 2TB
    larger means higher density platter, I find the 1TB and larger Blacks to run hotter/warmer and companys want drives to be able to run warmer or with less cooling. - but for really cold drives other than SSD I have found all my WD 10K VRs to have the absolute coldest temps.
    Just noticed Amazon having better prices than Newegg on 1TB - and WD and Hitachi.
    Green for your external backup, for media libraries that are not high volume access, to run cool and less power. Enterprise for system and performance.  TimeMachine sometimes makes a poor backup method with some green cases.

  • Maximum hard drive size for 350 MHz slot loading?

    Hello,
    What is the maximum hard drive size for a 350 MHz slot loading imac?
    I am aware of a 128 GB limit on imacs. Does the 128 GB hard drive limit apply to all imac CRTs or just the earlier models?
    Here are the specs of my imac:
    Blueberry 350 MHz
    Slot loading CD-ROM drive,
    6 GB hard drive
    Is the maximum hard drive size limit of 127GB apply to this particular model?
    Thanks

    Yes, the last CRT iMac was in 2001. The first machines with built-in greater than 127 GB support were released in June 2002, as this article explains:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
    So all CRT iMacs have that limiation.

    The 8 GB limit is explained here:

  • Maximum external Hard Drive size for Airport Disk?

    Is there a maximum size for the hard drive that's being connected to the USB port on the new Airport Extremes?
    Or will it support up to the maximum that's allowed by the USB chipset?

    Since it allows standard USB hard drives to connect, the limitation should have nothing to do with USB or the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). The limitation should only be with the IDE/ATA disk controller within the USB enclosure.

  • Maximum drive size for mirrored RAID

    I'm want to set up a mirrored RAID with two 4TB drives that I have.  When I put the drives in the tower (Mac Pro, OS 10.8.5) and open Disk Utility, the RAID button at the top does not show up for these drives.  I only see First Aid, Erase, and Restore.  Is there a max size for a drive that I'm exceeding?  Or is it something else?

    Hi - from the research I have done, there is a BUG in the OS. A solution is to boot with an older version of OS X and format the drive with the version of disk utlity on the older OS, or yank out the drive and put it in one of those 'drive toaster' type devices and format it EXTERNALLY.  The problem seems to be localized when it's formatted with the drive INSIDE the MacPro.
    You would figure that this would be a high priority fix, but NO.  I went nuts for a few days trying to figure out WHY I could not see the RAID tab.
    There is also third party software that has a more robust RAID solution. I have NOT tried it yet, but you should check it out.

  • O.S. / Hard Drive Size for NIO Server/Client's load testing...

    Hi All
    I am currently load testing a NIO Server/Client's to see what would be the maximum number of connections that could reached, using the following PC: P4, 3GHz, 1GB RAM, Windows XP, SP2, 110 GB Hard Drive.
    However, I would like to test the Server/Client performance on different OS's:
    Which would be the best possible option from the following:
    1. Partition my current drive, (using e.g. Partition Magic), to e.g.
    - Win XP: 90 GB
    - Win Server 2000: 10 GB
    - Linux: 5 GB
    - Shared/Data: 5 GB
    2. Install a separate Hard drive with the different hard drives
    3. Use a disk caddie, to swap in/out test hard drives.
    4. Any thing else?
    - Would the Operating System's hard drive size affect the Server/Client's performance, e.g. affecting the number of connections, number of File Handles, the virtual memory, etc.?
    Many Thanks,
    Matt

    You can use a partition on the same HDD or use a second HDD, disk caddie well if its a direct IDE or SCSI. If its usb no it will be too slow, may be if you have a fire-wire but I still don't recommend it.
    Be careful if you don't have any experience installing Linux you may do multiple partitions on you disk without knowing, because Linux ext partitions are not visible to windows.
    Recommended disk size for fedora is 10 GB. This is the amount of data that will be created on you HDD when you do a full installation.

  • Hard drive size for macbook pro

    I have filled my hard drive storage and I would like to increase the storage size.  What is the maximum size of drive I can go up to?  I believe today that I have a 320 GB storage device.

    A motherboard with SATA III - the first year of MacBook Pro with it didn't go smoothly as planned.
    Apple has quietly introduced support for the next generation NVM Express (NVMe) interface to SSD Flash drives in their latest OS X 10.10.3 update as well as in the new Retina MacBook which was released on April 10th.
    PCIe-SSD helps make things smaller, less watts and heat, as well as faster, but the heck with SATA II & III, where is our PCIe 3.0?
    SSD tech has changed more and faster in the time since it hit mainstream in summer of 2008, constantly changing.
    When the G5 came out, that summer almost no one expected or was ready to see and support an SATA disk drive.
    Picking up a new tech interface and product? Apple? really?

  • Max Hard Drive Size....?

    recently picked up an emac, after holding out for a 1.42ghz model
    anyway, already added a DVD burner and about to add some RAM (currently has 768mb)
    the current hard drive is only 80gb - plus its having some issues... after some slow down in using anything on the mac i poked around and found the disk utility is reporting the S.M.A.R.T status as bad...
    so i was wanting to replace it due to wanting more storage space, and this has just made me need to do it sooner rather than later.
    my main question:
    is there a maximum hard drive size the emac will take?
    if the mac will take a 750gb drive, and if i can find an IDE drive that big anywhere i would, just i know they are kind of hard to come by... failing that a 500gb IDE drive is easy come by...
    will they work?
    cheers

    is there a maximum hard drive size the emac will take?
    No.
    will (those considerations) work?
    Yes, any IDE/ATA will work in the eMac.
    https://eshop.macsales.com/search/3.5InternalIDE/ATA\
    Do not get a SATA (Serial ATA) drive as they are not suitable for your eMac.
