Max Hard Drive capacity in MSI MS-6533?

Hi.
I have a computer with a MS-6533 Mainboard (which is really an OEM computer with a clone Motherboard).
I want to add a new Hard Disk, but, as this Mainboard is a bit old, could I have any problems with it, as a I want to install a big Hard Drive?
Thanks in advance.

Just make sure you have the OS that can support big drive. What's the OS you're using right now?

Motherboard Max Hard Drive Capacity?

I'm looking to upgrade the hard drive in my MacBook2,1. Should I be concerned that there is a maximum amount of space/speed the motherboard can handle. If so, what is the max?
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP23
Thanks!

There is no limit. The information from Apple was based on the maximum size hard drive available at the time. The only limitation of concern is the height of the drive. Your model may not accommodate drives more than 9.5 mm high.

Is it possible to increase the hard drive capacity on my Macbook Pro?

is it possible to increase the hard drive capacity on my Macbook Pro?

If you feel confident, you can do it yourself.
If not, Apple can do it for the small matter of money.
If you go to http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
Find you Mac on this page it has videos that show you how to replace the disk drive.
After you view the video then you can make your mind up as to which is the correct way for you to go.

How do I find out what my total hard drive capacity is?

Hello, everybody!
My name is Evelyn Harvey.
I know that I am probably overlooking something obvious, but I hope that you all will bear with me!
I have noticed that when I click on the "waste paper basket", it tells me items are in the trash, and how many GB worth of stuff is in the trash, and how much free space (rounded off to the nearest tenth of a gigabyte, I believe), is still available on my hard drive.
What I can't seem to find out is, what is the theoretical total storage capacity of my hard drive? That is to say, how much space would there be if I didn't have any software or files on my hard drive at all? I know that they probably told me that when I first bought this particular iMac, but I do not remember now.
The reason why I want to know this, is because I want to find out what per centage of my total hard drive capacity is currently being used! There must be a way -- an easy way -- to find that out. Mustn't there?
Thanks in advance!
Evelyn Harvey

Select the hard drive's icon on your Desktop. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the upper section you will see the information for capacity, available, and used.

Hard Drive Capacity not Changing after moving files

My internal hard drive capacity is shown at 249.58 GB and I only had about 1.97 GB available. I moved 122.89 GB of photos to an external hard drive partition plus many seldom used files and folders (not sure of the MB or GB size). Now my hard drive capacity shows 249.58 GB size with 2.36 GB available.
Having moved more that 122.89 GB off my internal hard, why do I not have at least 122 GB available because I moved the photos to free up that space on my internal hard drive?
How can I regain that space the photos used and/or why can't I regain it?
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Vernon

After posting the previous message, I remembered that I had not emptied the trash So, that is in the process of happening now since I copied the photos to the external drive and moved them from my internal hd to trash!
I'll check on iPhoto's trash later.
Thanks.

Max Hard drive total or per drive?

I have a ThinkPad Edge E545 with a 1TB HDD. The max hard drive size is 1TB according to the specs. I was thinking of upgrading to a SSD. If I do that, I would like to remove the DVD drive and put my current 1TB HDD in a caddy there. Is that possible? Is the 1TB max per drive or total?

Remember, I was mostly on a G4 MDD and have some experience with a G5. Now that I have a G5 Quad, I am learning stuff each day.
Research, Read, and Educate yourself.
If anything, I would have hoped that that was understood from my posts.
Remember, I only have a Sawtooth, but I know about all PPC Macs........

Someone with your post count should at least be aware of "Search Discussions" features.
They should also be aware of the forum rules and etiquette.
But, this next question you can help me with. I am looking for a replacement graphics card which will provide more performance than the stock PCIe Nvidia 6600. Can you provide help for me with that?

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!!!*

Is it possible to increase the internal hard drive capacity of my 500GB time capsule?

I have a 500GB time capsule bought 2008. I am now backing up two laptops to it, a macbook pro and a macbook. It is likely that soon their combined data will outstrip the capacity of the time capsule. (I increased the internal hard drive capacity on the macbook recently to 640GB).
Is it possible to add to the internal hard drive capacity of the time capsule? If so, do I just source extra capacity from a third party supplier as I did for the new hard drive for the macbook?
Any experience or advice appreciated.

It's possible to pull the hard drive from the Time Capsule case and replace it with a larger capacity drive, but you might want to keep in mind that since Time Machine will "see" this as a "new" drive, it will make a complete backup of both computers to start and then backup incrementally after that.
If you were thinking of transferring the existing data on the 500 GB drive, that is possible as well.
But, you will not be able to tell Time Machine to simply continue backups to those same files. For that reason, it might make sense to look for a separate drive enclosure to install the "old" drive in case you need access to your older Time Machine backups.
After a few months, you may decide that you really don't need all the old Time Machine backups on the old driive and you may decide to simply erase the drive and use it as a spare.

Where is my Hard Drive capacity...

I bought a MacBook last week and I haven't put anything on here except Windows Vista so I partitioned 32GB for that. Now I don't have the partitioned windows and and my capacity went from 232.89GB to 200.88 GB where is my other 32GB, and how do I get it back?
Thanks - Andrew
P.S. I wouldn't mind doing a whole system reset (or something) I just need to know how.

Harddrives are interesting. And I don't know why or how to explain it, but on every device, brand new, you'll never have the "full" amount listed. Take an iPod for example. My 8 GB touch brand new said it had something like 7.1 GB available. My 4 GB flash drive has a capacity of 3.81 GBs.
FOund this to help you out. It gets techy and I don't really get it, I just accept it.
"Q. My hard drive capacity is less than I expected?
A. All hard drive manufacturers use a slightly different yardstick of measurement than your computer does. The hardware industry measures disk capacity as 1GB equals 1,000,000,000 bytes.
Computers calculate disk drive capacity as 1GB equals 1,073,741,824 bytes.
If you take your hard drive size and divide it by 1074 rounding up you will get the approx. size in Gigabytes available on the computer. A quick way you can confirm this is by checking your local hard drive capacity. If you have a 120GB hard drive locally it will show up as 111GB. A 30GB hard drive shows up as 27.8GB. Likewise a 500GB drive shows up as 465GB. etc. For more information on this visit www.wdc.com or www.maxtor.com or www.seagate.com."
So doing that math a 250 GB HD should have a capacity somewhere around 232.88, which sounds just on par with what you get (remember the math is a rough estimate)
I checked my hard drive (250 GB) and capacity is listed as 232.57 GBs

What is the max hard drive for a late 2006 xserve?

What is the max hard drive for a late 2006 xserve?

Hi Kappy,
That's not quite true. I don't think anyone has managed to get a 3TB drive working as 3TB on an Xserve yet.. Here is the official compatibility matrix from Apple http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1219
2TB seems to be the limit. Some people have had success with non Apple drives but it's very hit and miss..
All the best

Macintosh Hard Drive capacity less than its supposed to be?

Hello.
I just bought a Macbook pro 13" (2010) and I noticed that for example a file that on a dvd a usb or a pc hard drive is 700 MB, when I transfer it to my Macbook Pro's HD it suddenly takes around 735 MB. It happens with all the files so far that Iv transfered so far.
Also I noticed that if I'm going to burn a folder from my Mac HD that apparently weights, for example 1000 MB, to a dvd, when I actually burn it it ends ups weighting only about 900 MB on the DVD.
*It seems that files on my Mac HD weight more that they actually do, thus it seems as if the 250 Gygas my HD has are actully just like 200 Gygas.**
Is this normal, does it also happen to you guys??
Thanks.

Hi DanielSarmiento,
It sounds like it's the whole 1024MB = 1.0GB differential, aka base 10.

Equium A60 PSA67E & Max hard disk capacity

Is there a max capacity that the BIOS can see as I am looking to upgrade the hard drive in my laptop ?

Hi
As far as I know this unit was delivered with 40 GB HDD. Well, in my own opinion you can upgrade the HDD to 80 GB without any problems. I think tat it should be possible. But if you want to have any detailed informations so you should contact the HDD manufacturers or a professional HDD dealer because he has a detailed informtions about the HDD limits.
Bye

Equium A210-171 - Maximum hard drive capacity?

What is the max capacity hard drive the equium a210-171 can take?

Hi turboiwan,
As far as I know Equium A210-171 has already SATA interface for HDD so you can install every HDD with this interface because on SATA standard are no capacity limits. That means 500GB HDDs or more would work.
For example I upgraded my notebook with 500GB Western Digital HDD and this worked great.

Hard Drive Capacity Issue -- 51 GBs missing btwn utilized and avail space

I have a 200MB internal hard drive.
My SYSTEM PROFILER states:
Capacity=185.99GB (which I understand due to system use, etc)
Available= 26.25 GB (odd)
This available space reading seemed odd as I don't have much data on the HD (transferred files using Migration Assistant from a 80gb, 1.67ghz older G4 laptop).
So I went to the ACTIVITY MONITOR and looked at DISK USAGE at it states:
Space Utilized= 99.14 GB
Space Free= 25.85 GB
With a total of 124.99 GB between the two (the adjacent pie chart total)
MY QUESTION: If I have a HD with a capacity of 185.99 GB, with only 99.14 GB utilized, why is the space free missing 51 GBs? Where did this memory space go?
Note: I have never partitioned the Hard Drive or created any sort of RAM Disk.
Anyone? Please help.

UPDATE BUT STILL NO ANSWER:
Ran DISK UTILITY which fixed some minor errors and how states "Volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK"
But the issue remains - I have a 200GB hard drive but the data at the bottom of this utility reads:
Capacity : 186.0 GB (199,705,673,728 Bytes)
Available : 26.3 GB (28,291,375,104 Bytes)
Used : 98.6 GB (105,916,047,360 Bytes)
Number of Folders: 173,085
Number of Files: 886,070
HOW CAN I ONLY HAVE 26.3GB available when I have only used 98.6GB of 186GB = Should be a 87.4 GB balance available, not 26.3 GB, right????????
What is the deal here? Is this related to MobileMe or iPhone issue maybe?
The hardware start-up test and disk utility test are all clean. Someone? Anyone?
Thanks!
