New SATA 3.0GB/s 2.5" 100MB/s hd's yet anyone ??

Has anyone yet installed the 2.5" laptop Toshiba or Fujitsu's MHW2160BJ hd's and know if they can run at SATA 3.0GB/s or is stuck at SATA 1.5GB/s by hardware ??
2x Guy's buying from Newegg.com has the Toshiba one but they did not say if it is running at 50% SATA 1.5GB/s or at full Speed SATA 3.0GB/s .
My old Hitachi SATA 1.5GB/s 100gb 7200rpm runs at 45MB/s in windows and 21MB/s in OSX 10.4.9. "win = roadkil diskspeed"
The double speed of the fastest one Fujitsu's MHW2160BJ 100MB/s would help a lot provided it can run at full speed.
Any idea ?

The new drives are backwards compatible. Currently the Seagate 7200.9 version of drives are having problems so you probably want to avoid those for now.

Does the powermac G5 support the new Sata 3.0Gb/s Drive

I have the powermac g5 with twin 2.3 processors etc...it's the model that came out just before the most recent upgrades...Does anyone know if it supports the new Sata 3.0Gb/s Drives? If not...are the new drives backwards compatible?
Thanks!

Can you Use a SATA 3.0gb device on a SATA 1.5gb system?

I have a MS-7142 K8MM-V mo-board that supports SATA 1.5gb and I wanted to get a bigger hard drive but it is SATA 3.0gb.
Thanks for any input.

You should check that the drive has jumpers that allow switching to SATA150 mode, in which case it should* work.
However, be warned of this, as your board uses the VT8237R southbridge chipset...

Serial ATA150 and SATA 3.0Gb/s

Looking to purchase new internal drive for power mac G5...
is there a difference between serial ATA150 and SATA 3.0GB/s??
What is the difference, and will either work or only one kind?

Either will work. SATA is backwards compatible. Your Mac will run either drive at SATA 150 speeds. Many of the SATA 3.o drives have a 16 MB cache though which will increase performance over an 8 MB model. Watch for the Seagate 7200.9 series drives though. They have SSC enabled and it's not compatible with the onboard SATA controller on Macs. Buy it at macsales.com and they'll turn it off for you. I prefer Seagate, just make sure SSC is off if you buy a 7200.9.

Mac Pro will not sleep properly after installing new SATA BD-CD-DVD drive.

Hello and thank you in advance for time reading this.
I have been using a Mac Pro for 4 years and it never happened to me before.
This started almost immediately after installing a new SATA BD-CD-DVD Drive.
When the Mac is ordered to sleep, It shuts down 3 out of 4 Hard Drives
(I guess the one that doesn't is the OSX Drive) and It will not shut down the fans
and the display has no signal.
During that (when it won't sleep completely) the Mac is completely paralysed and it's unable to wake up.
Now, I've tried being patient and giving the Mac a ton of time to sleep.
In some cases it actually worked and the Mac did sleep completely and it was able to wake up,
but that defeats the purpose (being able to sleep and wake up in an in a few seconds).
In these few cases, the Mac took about 30 min to sleep.
In the rest of the cases the Mac never slept and I had to emergency shut it off from the power button.
In simply words, Mac falls into a "coma", not asleep but not awake at the same time.
As I said, this started exactly when I installed an SATA LG CH10LS20 optical Drive.
You may say that the Mac Pro does not support SATA for optical Drives.
This is why you should know that there is a SATA port on the motherboard of a Mac,
and with the correct method you can connect a SATA Drive AND be able to use it with out additional drivers.
http://www.tomorrowland.com/guides/mac-pro-optical-drive-install-part-1/
Now, you may say that If I'm so sure that it's the new drive causing the problem, why don't I disconnect it?
Well, please try to understand me, it's an all new drive and it cost a good load of money...
and other users of the same drive do not have that problem... yet...
Is there a way for the drive (which otherwise works fine) and the Mac to coexist and work properly?
Do you really think it's the new Drive?
Is the motherboard bothered somehow by the new drive and wont go to sleep properly?
Any kind of help is welcome and
I thank you in advance if you can help me.

Thanks for taking the time to respond RedBaron, I don't have a USB aircard in this system but I do have numerous firewire drives. I haven't unplugged everything yet and restarted. That's a good tip. I think I will try that to see if that is the problem.
Thanks again

I recently bought the newest macbook pro with only 120 GB of disk space I need to upgrade and was wondering if this would work with my computer 500GB New Sata 2.5" hard drive?

I bought the newest macbook pro 13" with only 120 GB of space. I quickly used all of the space up and need a lot more. I was wondering if this disk is compatible with the model i have.
500GB New Sata 2.5" hard drive

Your best practical option is buying a 1TB external HD for $65
The "low" capacity of the SSD on the Air and entry level Retina are meant to be working platforms for these computers.
Meaning ALL your programs and your working data (stuff you use at least every week).
To try to use either the Air or Retina as a storage platform of any king (lots of pics, music, movies etc.) is both not indicated or practical.
external storage, quality too, is absurdly cheap right now.
You asked:
These are very expensive theres no way that an hdd drive would be compatible with my Mac?
yes, a superslim external HD.
see this: only 7mm thick

Or better still this HUGE HD, which is very small, very reliable and very cheap:
2 Terabytes, 2.5" and only $119

AT NEW Satement

Hi Gurus,
Is it necessary that a field being used in AT NEW Satement should be in the first column of internal table?
Example: AT NEW Matnr.
Your help is highly much appreciated!

Hi,
Yes you must follow some hierarchy while using AT NEW Statement.
Say for example
AT NEW FIELD_01.
      ENDAT.
AT NEW FIELD_02.
    ENDAT.
   AT NEW FIELD_03.
     ENDAT.
AT NEW FIELD_04.
    ENDAT.
Then the structure of your internal table must be as follows,
TYPES : BEGIN                OF   ty_main,
               FIELD_01(10)          TYPE c,     " 1st field of the structure of internal table
               FIELD_02(10)          TYPE C,     " 2nd field of the structure of internal table
               FIELD_03(10)          TYPE c,     " 3rd field of the structure of internal table
               FIELD_04(10)          TYPE c,     " 4th field of the structure of internal table
              vbeln                       TYPE vbeln,
        END of ty_main.
Hope it helps you,

Trying to setup RAID 1 with new SATA drives on xserve 2009 model

Trying to setup RAID 1 with new SATA drives on xserve 2009 model
I have an Xserve rack mount model Xserve 2.26 Quad Core (EMC# 2279) with an Apple RAID card, 24GB RAM (running 10.9 Server software)
Purchased two Western Digital 1TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64MB Cache Black WD1003FZEX drives
It came with three 160GB SATA drives. I'm leaving one of the original 160GB drives for the OS, but I want to replace the 2 other drives and set it up with RAID 1 (mirrored). I bought 2 brand new Western Digital 1TB SATA drives and formatted them on another Mac through Disk Utility with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatting. I then placed the new drives in the Xserve and booted it up. After I login it immediately gives me 2 error windows saying...
"Apple RAID Card
The Apple RAID Card installed in your system requires your attention."
It has two buttons underneath this message allowing me to either select 'Ignore' or 'Open RAID Utility'
I've tried to RAID the drives the Disk Utility and through the RAID Utility with no success.
I have both drives mounted on the desktop, as separate drives, but I really need to set these up as a RAID 1.
I've been reading other forums, where others have been able to get this to work by using a jumper on certain pins (5 & 6)of the drive to back down the transfer rate to 1.5 Gb per second. I tried that and it didn't work for me. Maybe I used the wrong pins -- I just don't know. I'm also wondering if there is some Apple firmware that is required on these drives? I'm asking for help from anyone who has gone through this same issue. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE -- I had an issue with the RAID card battery, it was dead and I have since replaced it. But I am still unable to setup the RAID 1 drive configuration. Does anyone know if it has something to do with the faster transfer rates on these new drives. Maybe they need to be clocked down with certain jumper settings on these Western Digital drives? Or am I fighting a losing battle because these drives don't have Apple firmware? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Can't install with a new SATA harddisk

my motherboad is Asus A7N8X Deluxe ( nforce 2, sil3112 SATA ), installed Archlinux for a few years with an ide harddisk. now I'm going to relace it with a new Sata harddisk( WD5000AAKS)-- a fresh installation on this new sata harddisk.
I started to install after burning a 2010.05 iso to cd, but I got errors if I only have a sata harddisk. I took a photo by my cell phone:
I've read these posts, but they don't work to me:

Very simple fix for this.
Run the following command at the ramfs prompt:

Worked perfect for me.
Really? I'll really appreciate you if it works.

New sata hd - not correctly mounted

Greetings!
I bought a new sata-disc (diamondmaxtor 10 - 200gb) today and installed it without any problems, I also set up an ext3 partition but I have some problems with not beeing able to write and create files/folders on the disc.
My system is running arch 0.7.. the sata is put under /dev/discs/disc3 (linked to /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc).. also there is a link at /dev/sda (partition is at /dev/sda1)
In fstab I have written this line:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/satan defaults,rw 0 1
I copied the line from my other ext3-partitions and added the option rw.. It works better now, but still get "read-only filesystem" sometimes - as normal user and root.
So... my question is.. what shall I have in fstab so the disc is mounted properly?

SATA 3.0GB/s Compatibility

I was wondering if anyone knows if the MBP is compatible with SATA 3.0GB/s hard drives. I have the latest revision (June) and the hard drive isnt any extra money so I'd prefer to get the 3.0gb/s if i have the option. I'm looking at this drive.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822149070
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
nothing you can do, since the MBP 'only' have a 1.5Gbps SATA bus:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/HardwareDrivers/Conceptual/15inMacBookP ro0711/Articles/ProductDeveloperNote.html#//appleref/doc/uid/TP90005332
But this is no downfall when using only one HD, since no single HD, not even desktop HDs have a sustained throughput that is higher than 1.5Gbps.
Only RAID system do need the 3.0Gbps.

SATA 3.0Gb/sec HDD on HP Pavilion DV6790EJ

Hi all,
Last night my HDD crashed and now I'm looking for an alternative. The question that pops to my mind is:
Will a SATA 3.0Gb/sec HDD work on my 4-years old Pavilion DV6790EJ?
Thanks in advance.
Shy
This question was solved.
View Solution.

About all I can tell you is that the models below dv6500 use the Intel 945 chipset and SATA-I and the models above DV6500 use the 965 chipset and SATA-II. HP is not very transparent with these specs and you are just going to have to trust somebody who has been around the forum for 10 years answering all kinds of questions. Even if I am wrong a SATA-II drive will work it will just run at SATA-I speed and you will not even notice any difference, anyway.

Neo Platinum died after new sata introduced

I've had my PC for exactly one year and decided to add another Sata drive. After powering on everything seemed find and I was doning a format on the new drive in windows XP when the computer suddenly switched itself off.
No problem I though, perhaps the format had finished and rebooted except it had turned itself totally off. I powered the machine back on and got the blinking light on the front of the case as if it was going to boot, in fact it did reach the windows boot up screen a few times before shutting down.
After several more attempts and removing the new Sata drive it decided the give up the ghost and not work at all. I've tried the PSU in another old rig and that seems fine, any ideas would be appreciated.
PLEASE HELP

I have similar problem with same mobo except that I did not try to add any new hardware. It just died on me and won't start again(no power at all).
First I thought it was my PSU. I tested it and it was OK. After I reset BIOS I've got fans running but only for 10 sec or so. D-bracket showed 4 reds and my CPU did not even warm up. I tested CPU in another mobo and it worked. So, now I'm going to RMA my Neo Platinum but have troubles to understand how to do that- instruction on msicomputer.com is misleading.
So, try that:
- reset your BIOS by jumper and/or by removing a battery
- if fans spinning, but nothing else happened - check D-bracket leds
- if they stay red, check your CPU (only way to do that is to stick it in different motherboard
- if it works, RMA your motherboard.

Go to the Music section of your Library (very top-left corner) and see if your songs are there. The "Purchased" playlist may have been deleted or gotten corrupted, but if that happens it's not a big deal because your music should still be in your main Music Library.
If your music is NOT in the Music section of your Library, then go to the iTunes Store homepage and find the Quick Links list on the right side. At the top of that list, click Purchased and you can redownload all of your previous content that you might have lost.
