Pavillion dv6-3216us win7 clone hard drive worked only with HDClone 4.1

Pavillion dv6-3216us win7 64bit clone hard drive worked only with HDClone 4.1 tried many others that seemed to work but not boot.
cloned to WD 750 GB took about 2.5 hours

The originals were over 3 yrs old low end consumer models and 'due' for retirement to less frequent backup duties.
The Black or Blue Caviar 640GB costs slightly more but also 10-15% faster.
I wouldn't worry about temps, but I would monitor them, and if necessary boost the fans 200-300 rpm to help out.
Make sure everything is SL versions now (DW 4.2).
Normally I zero a drive and reformat more than others, and definitely with new OS.

  • USB 3.0 External hard drive working only as USB 2.0

    Hello all.
    I have a MacBook Pro mid 2012 (specs below) which has two USB 3.0 ports. I have a Kingston USB 3.0 stick and a Toshiba 1TB USB 3.0 external hard drive. With Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks, both stick and hard drive worked fine, but since I updated to OS X 10.10 Yosemite, both work as USB 2.0 devices, with slow transfer speed and, in the case of the hard drive, it has a blue/white LED that indicates the mode (blue = USB 3.0 / white = USB 2.0) and it only lights up with white color.
    It's not a device problem, because both work on Windows 8.x machines. I was guessing that it was some kind of firmware or motherboard's usb driver problem but I looked for firmware updates and found nothing.
    Is anyone having issues with USB 3.0 ports? Can you help me with this? Any advice would help.
    Thanks a lot for your patience and help.

    Hi jesusbet,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the USB 3 ports on your MacBook Pro are not operating at the expected speed.
    The first troubleshooting step I'd suggest in this case is to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your MacBook Pro using these instructions:
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    From:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    If the symptom continues, you can also reset the PRAM:
    OS X Yosemite: Reset your computer’s PRAM
    These two hardware resets can resolve many unexpected behaviors that affect hardware on a Mac.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • What external hard drives work well with time machine?

    I'm a new mac user - trying to decide what to buy for an external hard drive. Thoughts on features to look for?

    yes, there are compatibility issues. TM drive has to be formatted Mac os extended journaled with GUID partition scheme for use with intel macs. you'll need to reformat the drive for that as most new drives are formatted FAT with MBR partition scheme. also, Mac os extended format is not readable by windows without special software. so what you need to do is reformat the drive on your mac for TM and make a partition on it which you can format FAT. you can use that partition to get stuff from windows and the other partition for TM.

  • What external hard drives work best with time machine

    What is the best external drive that is compatible with time machine? 

    I see a lot of people on the Apple Discussion boards mention Time Capsule. The experience I've heard from folks with the First gen units was terrible. Poorly designed, poorly manufactured (sorry Apple!). They suffered all kinds of heat stress failures etc. The follow up devices are supposed to better, but I don't think it's mandatory you buy Apple product to run Time Machine. In fact choose based on price/capacity, then possibly on Manufacturers reputation. I use a external USB dock that has a Serial ATA connector on it. That way I can swap drives out when/if they fail or get full. That way I KNOW who manufactured the actual drive itself. Often times if you get a Time Capsule the drive manufacturer is the "flavor of the month" so to speak. There's a number of outfits that make these bare SATA style docks, and you can connect them through USB (which I have) or higher speed connectors like FireWire 800 (for faster reads/writes/backups). My best recommendation is to buy one of those SATA dock devices, then buy a bare hard drive from a reputable manufacturer. Then setup Time Machine and use the left over space that it doesn't use for your growing iPhoto collection? Use your best judgement, as there's no real right/wrong way.

  • Whcih external hard drive works best with macs and time machine

    I'm looking for an external hard drive preferably at circuit city since I have $100 in gift cards.
    I'm looking at the Acomdata pure drive 500 and 750
    The Western Digital Mybook essential edition 500 and 750
    Simpletech 500GB
    Simpletech redrive 500GB
    or Maxtor 500GB
    I don't which one to pick as there are negative reviews on all of them with crashing after only one year. If not any of these what other one to pick, would like it to be from circuit city, not matter what your opinion might be of them.
    I know about the Lacie drives and the G-drive but those seems expensive and only from apple store. I have airport extreme so only need usb connection so i don't care what other ports it has.
    It seems like a really tough decision and looking for some help.
    Let me know

    Hi,\ not sure how this translates to the USA market (brand names) Im UK;
    But I've been using a Lacie external hard drive for ages without problems.
    Not so sure about Western Digital, - I've heard some bad reports.
    I posted a request myself, and Lacie came back highly reccomended, so thats why I chose them.

  • What brand external hard drive is best with time machine

    what brand of external hard drive works best with time machine?

    Contrary to the other two replies, I will relate what I've read here: WD drives are fine, but their (cheap?) enclosures are subject to failure. Some buy a bare WD drive and install it in an Oxford Chip external enclosure (OWC / macsales.com would be one source). And, I have two LaCie Quadras and one OWC Mercury Pro - both are generally recommended here. If you want it bootable, most WD drives do not support it:
    http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1787/related/1/session/L2F2LzEvd GltZS8xMzUxNTIzMzIwL3NpZC9ueUFYc1g5bA%3D%3D
    Please note: it's good to have an external hard drive which has its own power supply and, as mentioned, FW 800 or USB 3). You also do not need any software that comes on the external - you will most likely need to format it anyway because most come formatted for Windows, but that is easy using Disk Utility.

  • Is an updrade for the Pavillion dv6-3216us to usb3 available

    Is an updrade for the Pavillion dv6-3216us to usb3 available

    No, there isn't an upgrade to USB 3.0. Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion dv6-3216us Entertainment Notebook Computer. According to the specs. your computer has 4 USB 2.0 ports. Basically, the only upgradable components in a notebook computer are the CPU, hard drive, memory, and wireless card. And the only easy ones are the hard drive and memory. Please see the HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment PC Maintenance and Service Guide for more information about your computer.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Notebook - Internal Hard Drive Options

    Greetings,
    I just purchased an HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl Entertainment Notebook PC (at Costco), and so far it's been a great deal. Everything seems to be working just fine.
    Because I do a lot of development work in Virtual Images, I have been running a number of external Hard Drivers from the notebook over the couple of weeks since I've owned it (including an external SSD). All that seems to work fine.
    But, I was wondering if anyone knows whether it is possible to install a second Hard Drive or SSD in this Notebook Model. I saw on the HP site that some Notebooks allow the installation of a second Hard Drive, but I couldn't find any information on this model that would suggest it can handle such a configuration.
    My primary objective for doing this would be to retain the original 1TB Hard Drive that came with the Notebook, but have a secondary SSD Drive to perhaps run the Paging activity from, when such functionality is needed upon running some of my larger Virtual Images.
    Any assistance with clarifying if this is an option with the HP Pavilion dv6-6c53cl would be very much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Wayne

  • Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's

    Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB external hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    My guess would be it has created an entirely new backup of your drive when you upgraded to Mavericks.

  • External hard drives work on tiger but not on leopard. WHY?

    My 2 external hard drives worked fine on tiger. I had the backup program and used it every week. Now that I loaded up leopard, I cant see the external hard drives. When I take the drives and plug them to my mac book pro which I have not yet upgraded, they come up fine.
    I cant even see them in disk utility
    Please help

    My external doesn't work either. It seems like it is trying to boot, but doesn't. Meanwhile, the Mac Pro churns and the fan goes into high gear. At that time the screen freezes and the little rainbow wheel just spins. The only way I could get the Mac back was to power down with the power button on the front of the CPU and unplug the external drive. It's just a backup drive but I would like access to it. I'm looking to see if the manufacturer has a patch online, but I'd appreciate any suggestions ion the meantime. I haven't upgraded to Leopard yet on my MacBook Pro, maybe I'll wait a few days... Anyone know what to do?

    If you haven't done so, run Disk Utility  /Applications/Utilities

    The drive may be ok at the moment, but that's not to say the drive may fail at anytime.
    Hopefully you have all your important data backed up just in case.

    Well, there are different versions of Sata.  See:

    I think this is the info someone would need:
    You may want to post machine info.
    blue apple > about this mac > more info button. Click on the hardware line. It has a little triangle in front of the word hardware.
    Leave out the serial number.

  • Will this hard drive work with my macbook?

    I have a late 2006 Core Duo Macbook. I was wondering if I could use this hard drive with my macbook, it's a 7200 rpm 200 gig hard drive. Btw I mean internal not external. Does the macbook have a limit on how big of a hard drive you can use? Would this hard drive work at 7200 rpm in the macbook?
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145160

    Hi.
    The drive will work perfectly in your macbook. Two weeks ago i was also thinking about buying the Hitachi Travelstar 7k200.
    But afterwards i bought this one:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136123
    The WD Scorpio 250GB. Off course it´s not as fast as the Travelstar. But for me three things we´re quiet nice about this harddrive: the noise (it doesn´t make anyone) and the price (got it for 150 euro) and it consumes way less power (means better battery life).
    http://www.storagereview.com/WD2500BEVS.sr?page=0%2C7
    BTW: It really doesn´t make any noise.
    So just in case you´re still unsure whether to buy the Hitachi or anything else. But if you want the fastest notebook HD you can get today, buy the Hitachi.
    Have a nice day and fun with your new HD!
