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:

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 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 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!

    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 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!

  • 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!!!*

  • 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.
    http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/
    The 8 GB limit is explained here:

  • Max hard drive size in G5

    Hello,
    Like the G4's before it(not including MDD), do the G5 Quads have a limit on hard drive size? I was wondering what the max size for a hard drive is for the G5 Quad, or can one go up to 4 terabytes?

    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........
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/PowerMac_G5_Late2005.pdf
    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?

  • Maximum hard drive size for upgrading a dv6375ea?

    Hello to all,
      My hard drive began to make noises and since it is past warranty, I will upgrade it. When I had bought the laptop I had chatted with a HP personnel on these support pages, and he/she had told me that the maximum size that the bios allowed was 120 gb. That is the original hard drive size!
      Has anyone upgraded their hard drive or does anybody know of a technical value that I should try?
    Thanks for your time,

    You can install as large a drive as you can find as long as it is SATA and 2.5" wide and 9.5 mm thick. SATA drives have no BIOS size limit. However, some have occasionally reported issues with 500 gig drives and 7200 rpm drives. I can therefore tell you with 100% certainty you can install a 320 gig 5400 rpm drive in your laptop. My favorite website for laptop hard drives is newegg.com. Don't buy from HP parts; it will cost way too much. You should be able to find the drive I mention for around $80 and laptop drives are also sold at Best Buy, Frys and similar stores.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • What is the max hard drive size in an early 2008 MacBook?

    I've got an early 2008 black macbook.  I want to upgrade from a 250gb hard drive to either a 750gb 7200rpm drive or a 1tb 5200rpm drive.  Will either of these work in there?  I don't know if there is a maximum hard drive size/rpm that I can put in there.  Thank you for your help!

    I know these posts were a while ago, but I wanted to check in on your 2008 Macbook. I have the same model and want to do the hard drive update. Is your machine still up and running, or have you moved on?
    Thank you!

  • X30 max hard drive size + system recovery for XP

    Hi all!  My X30 is wacked out - virus.  My fault, no excuses.  Anyway I'm taking the opportunity to upgrade the hard drive and start fresh with this little beauty.
    1) what is the largest HDD (in GB) I can install?  I just can't find a line anywhere in any of the spec sheets that says "Max HDD size: "
    2) is there a certain type I need?  i.e. will any 2.5" form factor drive fit?  Even better, will THIS drive work if I plonk her in and use the recovery disk?
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152111
    3) Am I correct in thinking that if I put in a new HDD and set the BIOS to boot from the CD (in the UltraBay) then put the Recovery CD disk 1 in the drive, it will run me through a fresh factory shipped install with XP??  I will use the Recovery disk for X30 2672 and 2673 series with XP Pro, or part number 01R6196.  If that's the case I'm doing it, that's all there is to it!
    4) Incidentally, am I correct in thinking that I can only have 512MB in this beauty, and the RAM for it costs a fortune?
    Thanks, all!

  • Maximum hard drive size for HP HPE-180t

    Is there a way to have the entire space of a 4TB SATA III (6Gb/s) drive show up in Windows 7 x64 running on an HPE 180t?  I installed one such hard drive on my HPE-180t, and the BIOS only saw 2TB of space, and the drive did not show up in Windows.  HP Diagnostics tools (run before Windows starts) reported the following error "communication with device failed".   The motherboard and bios info is shown below.  SATA mode is set to RAID.   The hard drive itself passes all the SMART tests in BIOS and seems to function fine. 
    There are two separate problems.   The communication error above, which needs to be solved first, and the "only 2TB showing in BIOS" problem.   Can the 2TB problem be addressed with another BIOS on this motherboard or some BIOS setting on the existing BIOS?  If so, what is the BIOS and/or settings?
    I looked through HP online support today (including google searches on the HP support forums) and did not see the answer to these questions/problems.
