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!!!*

  • 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

  • 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 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.

  • Max hard drive for presario cq57

    As big as you can find that is 2.5 inch wide 9.5 mm thick and SATA. I think they go up to 1 or 1.5 terrabytes now.

  • Iomega Ultra Max Hard Drive does not mount

    It worked splendidly for many months, but suddenly my Ultra Max will no longer mount on my iMac G5 with OS X 10.4.11, nor on my old iBook or new iBookPro. It is not listed in Finder.
    In its final few weeks it was first listed in finder and would work for half an hour or so and then suddenly disconnect out of the blue. But now it is, apparently, even worse.
    I went to the iomega support page, followed the suggested procedure of clicking the Apple icon, then About this mac, and finally found the Ultra Max listed under the FireWire arrow. There it lists as file system HFS+. Presumably I therefore do not have to (re-)format the hard drive.
    What could it be?

    There is indeed something wonky with those models (I have the 750 GB one). I am in the process of having it fixed/replaced now, but here is an interesting bit of news:
    - Apple refers me to Iomega for the return and service
    - Iomega accepts the case and will replace the unit
    - I pack and ship the unit, which costs me around 60 EUR (from Norway to The Netherlands, including customs-processing fee)
    - Iomega informs me they do not cover shipping
    - Apple Store informs me that they will not cover shipping, since the product (in their world) is out of warranty (which it isn't)
    Now - what do I do about those 60 EUR I paid for shipping the unit? If this was any other Norwegian internet computer store, they would have covered the shipping for me -- it is the LAW, they have to -- since the product is under warranty. But, since Apple tells me "No, Iomega handles their own support, you have to talk to them" I had to, and when they don't want to pay for the shipping.. well.. what do I do? I could have bought a new (and bigger) drive for the cost of just returning the unit for repairs.
    I am aware that the Apple Store continously is hammered for being "customer alienating", but I have never had such an dissapointing experience as a consumer. Ever.

  • 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...

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 645E Max Hard Drive problem

    I have just purchased the 645E Max MS-6547 v.2.x board. It's got a SiS 961B chipset and is supposed to support P4 processors at 533MHz.
    I have 3 Western Digital hard drives plus a cdrom plugged at the moment. I jumpered them as I always have...master/slave or, if alone on one ide, no jumper at all. They were detected correctly in the bios but I was unable to get into any OS.  After the POST, I got a bunch of 9's or 1's on my screen and could go no farther. The only way I can boot into Win2K, WinMe or Win98SE  is if they are jumpered as Cable Select.  They run fine that way but I don't think Cable Select is supposed to be my only option here.
    I have two HDD's on ide 1 The Prim/Master is 15GB, ata66 and Prim/Slave is 60GB, ata100 with the correct ribbon cable, and on ide 2, Sec/Master is 6GB ata33 and the cdrom as Sec/Slave.  
    I appear to have the most recent bios version 3.1 (I believe that's the version) and could find no updates that address this problem. LBA is enabled btw.
    Has anyone else experienced this wierdity?
    Also, is anyone running linux with this mobo?
    Lucyjean

    OK my computer is obviously up and running because I'm here  :]  Drives on both ide controllers are jumpered cable select.  I have only one bootable drive and it's the primary master.  
    The drives weren't switched around.....I would have gotten some kind of system disk error message I think if that were the case and not a bunch of 1's and 9's on my screen.  The boot order in my bios is ok too.
    Not only do I have to use cable select on ide 1, I have to do it on ide 2 also or it will just hang after the POST.
    My bootable drive is a western digital.  Even as a standalone, I have to jumper it cable select or it hangs. After I got the computer to boot with just the one drive on ide 1, I added a hard drive to ide 2...another western digital, and couldn't get past the POST unless I used cable select on it too.  Very strange indeed.
    I'm not so sure about this motherboard......

  • 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.
