I tried a 3 TB WD drive, didn't work. Anyone know if >2TB drives are supported?

This thread from another website may help.

DV9000 Maximum Hard Disk Size Supported?

I'm searching for a used HP Pavilion DV9000. I need to know the maximum hard disk size the DV9000 series laptops support. To be clear, could I put a 750G or 1TB disk in each bay?
HP's web site isn't helpful. It gives only the "official" numbers at time of release which state it supports up to 240G, 120 in each bay. Those kinds of numbers are almost never an accurate statement of the limitation as I have seen similar "official" numbers for other HP laptops (supposedly limited to 120G or 250G or whatever) that have no problem supporting 640G in the real world.
The size of hard disk a computer supports is usually a function of the main board's chipset and I don't know how to determine the exact chipset or find the chipset's hard disk support capability. Again, HP's web site isn't helpful here either. They may list it has an nVidia chipset; but, they don't mention which nVidia chipset.
To be clear, I don't own a DV9000 yet and I need to know how to find this information maybe with the exact model number. The model series may be DV9000; but, there are dozens of more exacting model numbers on the bottoms of the DV9000 series computers (example: DV9025ea). I don't want to purchase a DV9000 and then find that its limitation really is 120G per bay.

Hard drive size is a limitation of the Bios, not the chipset, this was overcome with the implementation of Large Block Addressing 48bit in modern bios's in 2003
Hp does not state which bios's on older laptops support this or not.
Looking at the production dates of the 9000 series, I would be willing to bet it supports any size hard drive (48bit LBA), since 48bit LBA was introduced in 2003
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_block_addressing
That being said, there could be brand compatibility issues, so be sure to buy the hard drives from a source that has a friendly return policy.
Maybe some one can post that has actually installed a large hard drive in a 9000 series.

Maximum Hard Disk Size in a Quicksilver 2002

Dear All,
I am getting lots of contradictory information about the maximum size of hard drive that I can install in my 933MHz Power Mac G4 Quicksilver without using a PCI card.
Can any one advise me of the best way to verify whether I have the 128GB limit?
Many thanks in anticipation of any help or advice.
Best Wishes,
Richard

Maximum internal disk size accepted by MacOS Lion?

What's the maximum size of an internal HDD I can use with my late 2011 MacBook Pro 17"? And how much memory can I squeeze into it?
Thanks!

What's the maximum support disk size on v440

Hi,
My v440 have now 4x72GB disks, I want to replace them with 300GB or more. Did any one tested it? I know 146GB disks are supported but not enough.
Thanks..

If you have the system covered by a support contract, then you should keep only disks that have been qualified by Sun/Oracle to function. If you do not have support contract coverage, then you use whatever you want to use. It is your system, your property, so do with it as you wish.
If there is a contract that covers that system and you put unqualified components into it, you simply suspend any and all privileges for support or repairs. That's all.

What's the maximum hard disk size for the MBP?

Sorry the title might sound like a dumb question, but I was wondering if my MBP Core Duo, is future proof regarding the internal hard disk. Will it recognise any capacity, or stuck at a certain level?
Also what are the largest Apple supported internal drives currently available? Any recommendations?

That's kind of a gray area, but I think you may be right. Here are the conditions under which Apple can refuse service:
This warranty does not apply: (a) to damage caused by use with non-Apple products; (b) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, flood, fire, earthquake or other external causes; (c) to damage caused by operating the product outside the permitted or intended uses described by Apple; (d) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider; (e) to a product or part that has been modified to significantly alter functionality or capability without the written permission of Apple; (f) to consumable parts, such as batteries, unless damage has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; or (g) if any Apple serial number has been removed or defaced.
So if something breaks that's unrelated to your HDD upgrade, I think Apple still has to service it as long as you didn't break it while performing the ugprade. At least that's my interpretation.

Maximum HD disk size on NW8440

Hi,
I'd like to replace my HD on a NW8440 laptop.
Does anybody know the max capacity it supports?
I'd ilke to know if someone has used a disk greater than 120 Gb.
Thanks,

Hi,
Based on this, it uses SATA controller therefore you can get up to current available on the maket.Update BIOS and up you go.Check from this site.
Good luck.

Maximum disk size for azure site recovery

Hi everyone,
I am looking into Azure Site Recovery, and I can't seem to find the maximum disk size I would be able to replicate into Azure. I have read some articles saying that 1TB is the maximum size, and some people have said that it is 64TB!! I have a File
Server that I would like to protect which is 4TB in size, and if the limit is 1TB I think it is very limiting...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks.

Hello Robert,
The current size limits for a VM replicating to Azure are :
For an OS VHD (the vhd that has the OS Installation) : 127 GB
For a Data VHD (<1 TB)
Is the size of your file server running on a single 4 TB volume?

Hi Anoop,
Our File Server is currently running on a single 4TB volume. Do I have any options with regards to replicating this VM to Azure using Site Recovery?
Many thanks.

Maximum disk size?

That's the maximum disk size or volume size supported? Thanks for any insights.

The maximum volume size, and file size, in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, is close to 8 EB (exabyte, or 10**18 bytes). The actual number is 2**63 - 2**31.
See Mac OS X: Mac OS Extended format (HFS Plus) volume and file limits

MS 6147 max memory and disk sizes

For the MS 6147 can anybody confirm the max Hard disk size and max memory.
It will not recognise the 40Gb HD I am trying to fit, and only recognises half of the 256Mb memeory simm I have fitted.
The BIOS version is 1.9 but I think that is a 'special' by Packard Bell. The MSI BIOS download site makes no mention of disk problems rectified right up to V1.8 which is the latest, with the exception of one for the ZX chipset only which addresses EDMA 66 problem.
Anybody got a definitive answer on this?

Supports a maximum memory size of 256MB (8M x 8) or
512MB (16M x 4) registered DIMM only
how many chips on dimm is what counts with older boards
go to drive makers web site get jumper settings to limit it to 32gb and try

How to allocate disk size for each user in iMac?

Hi folks,
I have iMac (Mac OS X, version 10.7.5) for Family, and each of my family member has account on it.
Now, kids download many large files (several GB size files) and HD is getting full.
So, I'd like to set maximum disk size for each user.
Could you prvide instruction how to configure disk size for each user?
Regards,
Hiro

I don't know of any way to do that by user.
I used to partition my HD and that sets a hard limit by partition, but by user? I don't think it can be done.

UCS C series maximum hard drive size

Looking for info on the maximum hard drive size support on teh UCS C series. I have a C200M2 that I added a 4TB drive, I have updated the server to the latest firmware and BIOS however the server shows the drive size is 2TB.

Hi! and welcome to the community mate!
Here is the table that shows the supported disk's PID for the C200 server:
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-c-series-rack-servers/c200m2_sff_specsheet.pdf
If you successfully installed ONE HDD of 4GB and made it work, you were lucky cause I don't see any disk with that size, I have not even seen a disk of that size for UCS yet.
I am wondering if perhaps you installed 4 disks of 1TB and configured them in RAID 1 which would explain the reason for the size to go down to half of the capacity of the array as RAID 1 is a mirror.
Let me know if I misunderstood you.

Cisco wave virtual blade disk size shrunk, unable to restore vblade

Hi All,
I applied the workaround listed by Cisco for bug CSCsy47235 on our wave device, which is also mentioned numerous times on the forum here, to do: disk delete-data-partitions and reload. after the reload, we are unable to restore the backed up blade image file, we get the error: '162GiB image is too large! 160GiB image is allowed'. when i try to create a virtual blade, the maximum disk size has reduced from 162GB(before the change) to 160GB(after the change).
Any idea or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Jack

Hi Tim,
These disk size are fixed and cannot be altered, hence you will not be able to allocate the unused cifs/dre to vb disk or the unused vb disk for cifs and dre.
There is no way to increase this as well, as most of these are determined whne you load the software and the partition table is fixed. Hence you wont find any maximum numbers. 32 gb is what you will get as part of wave 274 and wave 474 and that is the maximum disk space. You can split this across two virual blades , allocating them 16gb each , but however the total still cannot exceed the maximum of 32gb for all the virual machines.

Abijith
