Maximum hdd size and ram?

hi, I have the emac from 2002, the "P69" I believe it's also referred to as. It's the one with the 700 MHz processor.
1) I read that there are two ram slots and the maximum useable ram on the computer is 1GB. So if that's true, please confirm it or let me know if it's not.
2) So my main question is, what's the biggest HDD I can install in this machine? I know with my Power Mac G4 it had a limitation on what the internal drive could be, so I'd like to know what I'm restricted to.
3) Are there any other upgrades I should consider?
Thanks in advance

I buy all my Mac RAM (we have ~14 Macs in the family including two eMacs) from only two on-line vendors:
Data Memory Systems
and
Other World Computing
I'm pretty sure OWC ships to Canada. Don't know about DMS. That info should be on their web sites.
Basically you want Mac PC133 RAM even though the 1Gen eMacs have a 100mHz bus. Those eMacs need low-density RAM--hi-density PC RAM will either show up as half its rated size or as not there. Most computer/electronic superstore employees are so PC-centric that they seem oblivious to this basic but important fact. The online stores know you have a Mac and will get you the right RAM if you use their RAM finders
Location not withstanding, I tend to steer people with little to modest Mac experience to the first vendor because their web RAM finder is clearer and easier to use. Prices are generally similar between the two but you may find OWC is cheaper on certain part numbers. If shipping time is an issue, OWC gets stuff to Idaho faster
Many people recommend Crucial but I have found minor glitches in their Mac RAM information that makes me just a little nervous. I think Crucial better serves more experienced Mac users who have other resources for finding the exact RAM specs of their machine.

Sounds just like what was happening with my Alum MB. I took it in and they replaced my battery. It seems to be ok now. I don't know what it is, but my battery was fine before 10.5.6 and the same timeframe of the firmware updates when they came out.
My battery health was jumping around but was fine before all of this happened. Unfortunately at 381 cycles I don't think you have much chance of getting the battery for free. Perhaps you can complain about the battery saying it was fine until 10.5.6 or whatever. Not sure when your computer was made, but perhaps you are eligible for this program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/

What is the maximum HDD size for Pavilion DV7-3105ea and can I add a 2nd HDD.

Hi,
Please could someone advise me as to the maximum HDD size that can be installed in a Pavilion DV7-3105ea.
Additionally is it possible to add a second HDD.
Thanks and kind regards,
jB

There is no theoretical limit the only limit is what is sold on the market. Any correctly sized SATA laptop drive will work. They do now make 1TB drives that will fit and yes there is a secondary hard drive bay so theoretically you could have 2TB of storage. You are going to need 1 or 2 drives like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152291
The drive has to be 9.5 mm in height some 1TB laptop drives are too thick.
You also likely need a second hard drive caddy/connector like this:
http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=222&zenid=2a83d0d222d80c6...
And here is a link to the Manual showing how to get to the hard drive bay:
Drive Manual
Check your system to see if a secondary drive caddy/connector is there but it likely is not and you need the part linked above. Good luck.

Maximum HDD size can be supported in x61?

Hi there !
What is the maximum HDD size limit can be installed with ThinkPad x61 by the following specifications?
- TPx61, Model:7672A22, OS:VistaBusiness(6.0, Build 6000), BIOS:Ver1.00PARTTBL, Processor:Intel(R)Coe(TM)[email protected](2CPUs), RAM:3GB, HDD:120GB.
Thank you.

Hi There,
When I bought mine, I asked techanicians at the shop and they told me that 320GB could be supported. But, according to your case, it was not true 100%...

Maximum HDD size

What is the maximum HDD size I can use with a PowerMac G5? Currently I have a 500GB HDD installed.

OOPs, yep 2.1 TB! Thanks!
Make sure the drive is SATA 1.5 Gb/s compatible, some drives will work with jumpers to slow them down, for instance WD drives jumper on pins 5&6.

Maximum Package Size and Duration for HD Streaming?

Hey All,
I've taken the HD plunge and am editing my first piece of video. I've finished and I want to export it to stream to my PS3 and/or Xbox. My question is what are the best settings for export to Quicktime MP4 1080 HD for maximum packet size and max packet duration?
Also do I need to optimize for server if I will be streaming from my Time Capsule?
I can successfully stream SD but I don't quite understand all this HD stuff so any and all help is appreciated.

I totally appreciate the thread but my goal is not to copy the file but to get it to stream properly. Right now it stutters a bit during streaming. I am trying to find out if Max package and duration could help.
I'm at 15KPBs on the download and 973 on the upload so it shouldn't be a network problem. I was just hoping someone could explain the max settings and recommend something for streaming

Maximum recording time based on disk size and ram?

I read about changing the tempo and beats per measure - and hangtime posts a link re: max. time - thanks for that.
But, I'm thinking about taking my iBook w/ 1.4 processor and 512 of ram to a gig to record approximately 3 hours straight - is this going to work?
Am I limited based on free disk space as well, (which I'm not sure how much i have!)
thanks in advance.

Well, you read HT's FAQ which tells you that GB 2 will never record for 3 hours straight.
Anyway I wouldn't use GB to record, since it's not reliable enough, I would use a plain audio editor like Audacity or Soundstudio - they are made for that purpose.
As for disk space: You need about 10 MB per Minute if you record "CD quality" (which is what GB uses). That adds up just short of 2 Gigabytes for 3 hours. Any Finder window of your hard disk will tell you how much space there is available.
Processor speed and RAM are not an issue when you're recording one single audio track.

Maximum HDD size for Satellite Pro 4290 ??

My hard disk is wearing out (Win 98 tells me it has many bad sectors). Do I have to fit a 6gig hard disk or can I upgrade? If so, how big a disk will the latest BIOS address?
I think I need a 2.5" 9.5mm disk, but I don't know if there are any other specifications I have to adhere to.
ALSO, if I buy a USB hard disk for back-up etc, will the computer see it? Is there a maximum size for external USB disks?
HELP!!!!
Mike

Hi Mike
There is no precise information or specification about this issue but I am sure that you can use 10 GB HDD without any problems.
I have two external HDD`s and I have no problem because I use both with USB 2.0. Your unit has just USB1.1 Maybe you should not use HDD with high capacity. I will try to connect my 30GB external HDD to USB1.1. After that I can report you what exactly happens.

Equium L40-17M: What maximum HDD size can I use?

Just wondering if anyone knows the maximum hard disc size I can install, and what I should be looking for when buying one?
Many thanks

Hi
I think the L40 supports the SATA 2.5 HDD and its not matter what HDD size it is.
The notebook should handle every 2.5 SATA HDD.
Currently the 500GB 2.5 HDD is the biggest size on the market but in the next time you will find 2.5 SATA HDD which would support 1TB (1000GB).

Satellite Pro 4600 - What is the maximum HDD size?

My aged Satellite Pro 4600 has a 20GB HDD. As these are now very difficult to get hold, does anyone know whether higher capacy HDDs can be used and, if so, what is the maximum size of HDD.
(In spite of it's age I still use the Satellite Pro for certain jobs.)

Hi!
This is a pretty old notebook, Satellite Pro 4600 ;)
As far as I know this notebook has a 28bit LBA limitation and that means you can only use HDDs up to 128GB or lets say HDD with a capacity of 120GB.
By the way, here you can read more about this limitation: http://www.48bitlba.com/
Normally you can every HDD up to 120GB but dont forget that the HDD must have a IDE connector.
I have good experience with Western Digital and Seagate HDDs.

Maximum hdd size for MacBook Pro 17" (late 2006)

I have macbook pro and looking to upgrade the base HDD of 160GB to maximum supported. I bought this in march 2007, so should be late 2006 model.
Can someone share the knowledge, if they had upgraded to the bigger HDD? Also what capacity we can go as max?
Thx

The only limit you have is about 1TB - now about the largest drives that will fit in notebook computers. Do you really have the need for something so large, though. You could get a good price on a 500-750GB drive and that would increase your internal storage nicely. Your model and OS don't limit you to the size of the hard drive you can install.

Maximum HDD size for HP 8510

Hi,
I have just bought an 8510p on auction and wanmt to upgrade the HDD from 120GB to 750GB.
Can nyone tell me if the 8510p can deal with a HDD that size?
If it can't what is the maximum size that can be installed?
Many thanks
Cameron
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Based on the following specs, it uses SATA (most likely SATA II) HDD therefore you can use larger (capacity HDD). A 750Gb with 7200RPM will be very nice for this machine:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=...
You may need to update BIOS for the machine:

Satellite A200 - Question about HDD partitions and RAM

This may be in the wrong section... I don't know.
I've never owned an OEM OS and I also don't understand why the HDD comes partitioned 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).
The thing is that I have to format and partition differently (since I have to dual boot Linux) and need to create a structure more like 40,40,100 or such. (100 being fat32 so data can be accessed for both)
Now I'm just wondering which data I should be keeping from these drives. There's a folder called Toshiba on the C:\ drive which seems to have drivers and such, a few wallpapers and who knows what else. Then there's the D: drive called WinRE which has some sort of sdi and wim files.
Another question, if I buy the 2GB which is listed in the compatible options for my laptop (A200-28P)
Link: [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/individualOptions.do?service=UK&OPTION_ID=138301&t oshibaShop=true&selCategory=4700]
Will it match the 2GB already in the laptop? Will it void the warranty in any way?

Yes, I am using Vista, sorry, I forgot to mention that. The drive however is definately not hidden (it's clearly visible as the D drive and labelled WinRE).
I'm not an idiot. I understand it, but you have got to admit that giving the OS 90 is a bit extreme and obviously I know what I can do with the other 90.
I'd also like to point something out:
"It's always advisable to partition an large HDD in more partition. This improves the performance because OS can access the files much faster."
This is more than just an urban myth, it is down right stupid to believe that. After all, the data has a physical position on the drive and partitioning doesn't change the fact that it still has to get the needle to point to the location where the data is located on the drive.
The needle still travels the same distance as referred to by the MFT.
The question is if I can alter the partitions when using the strange Toshiba recovery disk. Afterall OEMs don't come with standard install disks and seem to limit your options.
Again regarding the ram, I know the laptop can run 4 gigs, but I want to know whether the 2GB stick I'd buy from Toshiba would be the exact same as the one already installed, as in same timings and such.
So in conclusion the data on D is worthless. What about the stuff in the Toshiba folder? And sorry if I sound condescending or like an *insert disallowed word here*, I'm just not in the best mood right now (serious data loss on my project because of a Uni server crash!).

Maximum hdd size for T60

I have a T60 type:8744-5BU. I have read on Levono that 160gb is the largest hdd that is compatible with this unit.
Will any 2.5" ide drive work? And what is the SATA that is in the device manager. Will this system use a SATA drive also? I have down loaded and ran files to enable the sata.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Welcome to the Forum!
What you read on the Forum was probably a discussion about T43 or T23 maximum hard drive capacity- perhaps this thread: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Legacy-ThinkPads-Z60-61-G40-41-A/Hard-Drive-Capacity-for-T23/m-p/1021013.... Those models utilize PATA or IDE (older technology) hard drives, which capped out at about 320GB.
Your T60 takes 2.5" 9.5mm SATA hard drives, not PATA hard drives. SATA hard drives are available in capacities much larger than 160GB. They have gone pretty rapidly from 160GB---> 250GB--->320GB--->500GB---> 750GB and are currently available in 1TB (terabyte) capacity. No one seems to have broken the 1TB barrier yet, but who knows what tomorrow holds.
As for drivers, yes the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Drivers must be installed to enable AHCI (SATA mode) in BIOS versus IDE (compatibility mode). This will allow your laptop to take full advantage of SATA technology and (theoretically) improve drive performance. However, there will be no real noticeable or measurable difference in real world use, especially on a T60, whether operating in AHCI or Compatibility mode. There are lots of discussions you can read up on concerning "AHCI SATA" if you plug such words into the <Search> bar above.
Edit: You received an excellent response to your question above just as I was typing. Now you have two answers to your question.
Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)

Maximum HDD size for Satellite Pro 6000?

Hi, I am trying to install a 60 GB HD, but it formats, and it stops at Windows XP Pro instalation.
Is there a limit to HD size?
Thanx,
Ronaldo

Hi,
does it stop without any error message? If not then try another copy of WinXP since the Satellite Pro 6000 shouldnt have problems with that harddrive. I had 2 years a similar machine and I also had a 60GB Toshiba HDD installed. It worked like a charm, so I cannot imagine that the harddrive could be the problem.
Cheers
