Seagate Barracuda 200 GB only shows 127 GB

All,
Recently received OWC firewire enclosure OWCMEFW911UPL to put subject HD in. Drive only shows up as 127 GB when mounted. Confused as to whether the mac can handle a 200 GB drive; I've received conflicting information. Any ideas what's going on? OWC claims the enclosure should work with drives up to 750 GB.
Thanks,

Not to be a nitpick, but that's not the same problem at all.
The 128 GiB limit is because older enclosures (*) use 28-bit addressing, so they can only address blocks up to 128 GiB. Newer enclosures use 48-bit addressing and can use up to 128 PiB (e.g. lots. :)) Wikipedia link
(*) and older ATA controllers, like those in PowerMac G4 Quicksilver and older. There's software to help in those cases, just like there probably is a firmware update for the enclosure.

200 GB ext. FW HD only showing 127 GB

I have a Western Digital 200 GB drive that I've installed in an external enclosure. I plugged in the firewire cable into my new MacBook Pro and the Disk Utility shows the drive as a 186 GB Oxford Semiconductor but shows that only 127 GB is available for use. I know in earlier Macs there was an issue that limited larger hard drives unless a card was installed. Why then, does it still have this limitation when put in an external enclosure? I have a different 160 GB USB 2 ext. drive that has no problems. I performed a Zero Out erasure of the drive with no success. Any ideas?

It sounds like your enclosure has an older Firewire bridge chip in it. Older chips won't allow access to more than 128 Gbytes of disk space. If you buy a recent enclosure, it won't have that problem.

Seagate Barracuda ST3000 only shows as 800 GB

I have bought two of these drives to replace two 1 GB drives that have failed in my external enclosures. These are connected via USB 2.
The drives only showed up as 800 GB, even though Seagate says they should show up as 3 TB. I suspected the enclosures, so I grabbed two new ones that both say they support 3TB drives. No dice. The drives still show up in disk utility as 801.57 GB drives, and wil not expand a partition beyond that. What's up with this? Is there a way to fix it, or do I simply need to return everything.
I have tried the drives and enclosures on a 2009 mac mini running OS X 10.8 and an early 2011 iMac 27 inch running OS X 10.7. Both machines show the same result.
Thanks

Possibly the 2nd enclosures were wrong, or mabe do support 3 TB, but not Advanced Format?
The 3TB->800GB is well known...

I guess you were right about the enclosure. I sort of suspected that but didn't want it to be true. Shelled out another $80 for a NewerTech HDD dock (model Voyager Q) plugged in the "offending" hard drive and voila! All working well now.

My photo stream shows all my pictures of 200 on my iPhone but my iPad is only showing 53 of them. How do I make my iPad show everything?

I have over 200 photos on my iPhone photo stream but my iPad 2 only shows 53 of them.

Photo stream photos appear after you enable the feature on your devices so any photos that were already on the phone when you turned on Photo Stream on the iPad, will not appear. Only photos that you take on the phone moving forward will appear on the iPad.

Apple RAID Card and 3TB Drives only show 2.2 TB

I tried a 3TB Seagate Barracuda XT drive in the July 2010 Mac Pro (and a Jan 2008 Mac Pro) on the RAID Card that came with the machines (so one is the RAID Card now shipping) and both show a maximum of 2.2 TB with a 3TB drive.
I'm curious if anyone else has tried this with different results. Any luck in getting the RAID Card to see the full 3TB in the drives?
By the way, without the RAID Card, the Mac (OS 10.6.4) sees the full 3TB, but not with it.
Anyone else seeing this?

Okay. Seems Apple didn't plan for or certify 3TB.
However, Apple doesn't support using 3rd party drives. Some do, and in some situations, drives you would think work don't, or they work but only briefly.
When I said read FAQ I was thinking of all the points like this:
Question: *Which drives does Apple support for the Mac Pro RAID Card and the Xserve RAID Card?*
Answer: Only Apple SATA drives and Promise 450GB SAS Drive modules sold through the Apple Store are supported for use with the Mac Pro RAID Card (Early 2009) and the Xserve RAID Card (Early 2009).
Apple 300GB SAS Drive modules are supported with the Mac Pro RAID Card (Late 2007) and Xserve RAID Card (Early 2007).
Drives must be either all Serial ATA (SATA) or all Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives. SSD drive modules are not recommended for the Apple RAID Card because these drives use their own on-disk cache and cannot take advantage of the protection provided by the battery-backed cache on the RAID card.

My imac wont turn on anymore. it only shows a picture of a folder and question mark

I cant get my imac to turn on. It will only show a folder with a question mark in it,.

Your Mac can't find any bootable device. That could be because of two things:
1. The PRAM "forgot" the startup disk.
2. The hard disk is damaged.
First, press Option key while your Mac is starting and check if you see the OS X partition. If you see it, choose it and when OS X has booted up, open System Preferences > Startup Disk and select the OS X partition.
If not, the hard disk is damaged. If you have OS X Lion as you indicate, press Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into Recovery. Then, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair the disk. If it doesn't work, take the Mac to an Apple Store.
If you didn't make a backup, use DiskWarrior to recover your files. It could not work on some ocassions.
Also, there's a problem with the 1 TB Seagate iMacs hard disks sold between October 2009 and July 2011 and they are being replaced for free. Check if you can get replaced the hard disk for free > http://www.apple.com/support/imac-harddrive

Mac Pro (First Generation) problem with 1TB Seagate Barracuda

Hi Macianer,
I have a first generation Mac Pro which was sold with max. 750GB Hard drives for each bay. At this time I am grabbing for straws and maybe someone has any info on this problem.
I purchased 4 x 1TB Seagate Barracuda hard drives ( Model: ST31000340AS / Firmware: SD15 ), did a regular format after I purchased them ( GUID Partition Table, Journaled HFS+ File System). I am using 2 of them internally (they get quite hot and i didn't want to put all 4 of them in there) and two of them externally (backup purposes). The other two internal bays are covered by 2x 500GB Barracuda drives.
I put all four 1 TB hard drived through a 1 week stress test to make sure I am not dealing with bad apples. So far this practice served me well.
Now 2 weeks later one completely crashed (internal boot drive). It sounded to spin up alright but was not accessible at all. I went to BestBuy and GeekSquad said this drive is crashed and I returned it.
Since I had a backup I didn't worry too much. I put the back up hard drive in as the new boot drive (since it was a SuperDuper duplicat) it worked like a charm. Now the second hard drive starts temporarily freezing the system for 2-4 minutes and seems to get stuck showing the great colored ball of doom. After the freeze it continues to operate normal again and I am able to continue my work.
I ran the Disk Utility and I got the following message:
INVALID KEY LENGTH
VOLUME CHECK FAILED.
ERROR: FILESYSTEM VERIFY OR REPAIR FAILED.
It just seems weird, I never had problems with hard drives and now I get these problems with 3-4 week old hard drives.
I was in a chat with seagate support. First question to trouble shoot: Do you have access to a PC. My answer was no since Microsoft Vista I donated all of them to the Salvation Army. He asked if I formatted the hard drives low level and MBR with HFS+. I said since I do not have access to PC nor do I plan on using my hard drives for PC I formatted it regular with GUID and HFS+. I asked if there is any history of these drives that would help explain my experience. I was hoping for a recall or something of that sort or something that a firmware upgrade would remedy.
I guess my question is, is the first generation Mac Pro, even though it seems to format and run them fine, not able to handle 1TB hard drives on a daily basis. Or am I dealing with hard drive problems? The Seagate guy didn't seem to be of any help.
Any help is appreciated or even pointers that would help me in finding the problem.
Cheers,
PixelGrinch

Excellent questions, I too am looking at SSD.
Some things I know about SSD:
1. Intel recently released new firmware for their SSD drives to improve long term performance including Trim/Garbage collection.
2. SSD drives can be setup as SLC or MLC - SLC is faster read 2X, write 4X over MLC, however SLC is smaller capacity. SLC also has a longer life span.
3. Intel plans to have an 320GB X25-M (MLC) and a 128GB X25-E (SLC) out soon.
OSX does not fully support Trim and I'm not aware of any 3rd party software for OSX that helps in the garbage collection area. Diskeeper 2010 for Windows 7 provides full support for all variants of SSD, but nothing on the Mac side.
I'm probably going to wait for 2010 to see what comes out, SSD appears to be good news, but it still also seems to have issues. Given the cost of these drivers and the frequent firmware updates, a wait and see is my choice.
I've thought about going with a SAS RAID controller and 15K RAID drivers, but the cost/performance ratio comes out about the same and the 15K drives are noisey and power hungry but they're a "known" entity.

Seagate Barracuda ES ST3750640NS 750 GB - slow random access in MacPro

I installed four Seagate Barracuda ES ST3750640NS 750 GB disks in my MacPro (5GB RAM). They are mounted as two RAID-1 arrays (mirrored, no speed up).
It seems that also those (not just the non-ES, …AS version) suffers from slow speeds (<1MB) in random access with small blocks. How much this is representative of typical access with Mac OS X I cannot tell, but still this looks like some kind of incompatibility of the drives' firmware with a MacPro.
Does anyone have experience on how to correct that?

All of the Seagate 7200.10 model hard drives have slow Random Read performance. None of the different model numbers change this fact. There is no fix for this and you will probably only notice this issue when opening a large library with Aperture or some other application that depends on a large number of small files to read.
The Randowm write performance of the Seagate 7200.10 models is actually very good. In addition, the large block copy capabilities of the 7200.10 models is exceptional.
Xbench tests make the Seagate 7200.10 model performance look much worse than it actually is.

Cloning WinXP onto Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA hard disk

Greetings everybody!
I recently wanted to clone my existing (perfectly working) Windows XP Home boot hard disk onto a brand new 320 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA drive, model ST3320620AS. The existing boot C-disk is a 250 GB Western Digital SATA, which is in my Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo P (the CPU being an AMD Athlon 64 3700+). The motherboard is an ASUS A8NE-FM with the SATA interface being a NVIDIA nForce4 Serial ATA Controller.
I struggled quite a bit getting the cloned Seagate SATA disk to work as a Windows XP boot drive, but eventually got it working – using Acronis True Image Home version 9, build 3.854 (http://www.acronis.com/). Here’s how I eventually succeeded; hope it may be useful to others! ( - and I of course realize that ASUS motherboards are not made by MSI, but at the same time I have seen several MSI-users reporting similar difficulties…).
A small hint: You may download, at no cost, a full-functioning version of “Acronis True Image 10 Home”, usable for a 15 days trial period (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/download/trueimage/). If you can manage to clone your hard disk within this period, well, it’ll be completely free! A free Windows XP clone utility, which I don’t know how well functions, is XXclone, see http://xxclone.com/.
Here’s how I did (there may be other ways, but, well, this worked for me):
1) First mounted the Seagate ST3320620AS as the D-drive (the C-drive being the Western Digital boot drive). Kept Seagate factory-default jumper setting (“Limit data transfer rate to 1.5 Gbits per second “). Booted up, went into the BIOS (being Nvidia 42302e31 Phoenix AwardBIOS v6.00PG according to ”System Info for Windows” from http://www.gtopala.com/ ), and configured the Seagate drive as follows: Second Master SATA HDD, Extended IDE Drive: Auto, Access Mode: Large (NB: Do NOT select ”Auto” here!!), Capacity: 320 GB, Cylinder: 4095, Head: 240, Precomp: 0, Landing Zone: 65534, Sector: 255. Save configuration and exit BIOS.
2) Booted up on the old Western Digital C-drive. Used Seagate’s DiscWizard to format and partition the ST3320620AS (http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/discwizard). The drive was formatted NTFS (4k block size, and one single partition). This went smooth (Windows XP however complained of some of the Seagate drivers not being ”WHQL certified” – just continued, anyway). Then right-clicked on ”My Computer" --> "Manage" --> ”Computer Management” --> ”Disk Management”. Right-clicked on the Seagate disk, then clicked ”Mark Partition as Active”. The Seagate drive is now seen in Windows as drive D, and is ready for use.
3) Ran Acronis True Image Home ver. 9, build 3.854 and cloned the Western Digital disk onto the Seagate. This went smooth and took less than five minutes (data amount on the Western Digital C-drive, containing Windows XP Home, \Program Files, \Documents and Settings and not much else, being approx. 10 GB). Impressing fast cloning! Exit and shut-down.
4) Removed the Western Digital drive from the PC, keeping only the new Seagate disk. Booted, went into BIOS, configured the boot drive as the Seagate: First or Second Master SATA HDD (according to what SATA cable is being used), Extended IDE Drive: Auto, Access Mode: Large (NB: Do NOT select ”Auto” here!!), Capacity: 320 GB, Cylinder: 4095, Head: 240, Precomp: 0, Landing Zone: 65534, Sector: 255. Save and exit BIOS.
5) Booted into Windows XP Home on the newly cloned Seagate SATA drive. Success!! End of story!
THANKS to several of ASUS forum users help!
Best regards,
Johan

NOTE the there seems to be an error in some of the ASUS motherboards (or in the BIOS?), incl. the A8NE-FM, which makes it impossible to boot from an apparently successfully Windows XP cloned Seagate SATA drive unless first having set the ”Access Mode” in the BIOS to ”Large” before formatting and cloning. Some also claim that NCQ for the Seagate drive must be disabled; I have not done this and the cloned drive boots and works perfectly with NCQ enabled. (NB: If not setting ”Access Mode” to ”Large”, but if keeping the default BIOS setting of ”Auto”, then it is perfectly possible to both format, partition, set active and clone onto the drive. When attempting to boot using the cloned drive one gets this message: ”Error loading operating system” (or in Danish: ”Fejl ved indlæsning af operativsystem”). Further links discussing this issue:

that links are useless(for MSI owners), its described bug into BIOS which cannot determinate property HDD access mode. its specified problem related to this Asus board and specific BIOS version. exactly same problem happend and arrive with Gigabyte board after update BIOS to the latest one which suppose to fix "some things" and totally unexpected in background comes this issue..... seems some of Asus BIOSes got same issue...
MSI boards doesn't have this issue in any BIOS version.

Help with opening up a Seagate Barracuda SATA Internal HardDrive on my Macbook Pro!

Hi Everyone!
I have two questions that I would really love someone to
help me out with!!
I really need help trying to open three Seagate Barracuda SATA Internal HardDrive that I was given to edit
dailies for a feature film! I tried all three and only one worked - however, didn't opened but wanted me to intialize
it and reformat it so it can be discovered and opened. But all three contain video and audio files within them, so I cannot
reformat these drives!
And with the other two, apparently they can be opened on a PC but I have to edit my dailies
on Final Cut 7 - and from what I know, Final Cut Pro is not avaiable for PCs!!
If there is anyone that can answer these two question, please respond soon!!
Thanks!

I suspect those HDDs are NFTS formats. Paragon may be the answer for you then:

Regarding Final Cut, I suggest you post that part of your query on the Final Cut forum where you will have the best chances for an accurate solution.
Ciao.

Formatting a seagate barracuda ata IV for mac?

I have a couple of 20 GB seagate barracuda ata IV st320011a hard drives that I pulled out of an old sun server that was running sunOS 4.x solaris. Is there an easy way to erase and format them for Macs. I would like to use them as slaves on a couple of old G4s. If I set the jumper to the slave position and install it correctly the system profiler recognizes that it's there but it doesn't show up on the desktop. I've also tried using disk warrior and tech tool. Even went as far as to set it as master and threw an OS9 install disk in to try an overwrite. Any ideas would be appreciated.

mini, g4, g5, imac, xserv Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Welcome to the Discussions.
The drives will show up on the desktop after you format them with Disk Utility.
Select "Mac OS Extended (journaled)" as the format type, and if you plan to use OS 9 at all, make sure that the option to install OS 9 drivers is checked (the drivers can't be added later, except by reformatting the drive with the option checked).

Raid Drives: Hitachi 7k3000 Deskstar vs Seagate Barracuda XT

Hi Guys
Thought I'd start a new post for this. Have got all my components sorted for my new pc and that is being built, but I needed to source my raid controller and drives from a different source. So here's the dilema.
Im going to be using an ARC-1880i SAS/SATA 6gbit 8-Port Card and was going to get 3 x Hitachi 7k3000, but they're not in stock and the guy had recommended the Seagate Barracuda XT SATA 300
Just before I take the plunge are there any advantages to using the Hitachis that I'm unaware of , or is the Seagate OK.
On the Raid side of things, still a bit unsure as to whether to use Raid 3 or Raid 5 . Am I right in thinking most people use raid 5? Just wondering.
Thanks
Nick
P.S Just found out that the Hitachi are very hard to find because of manufacturing after the Eartquake in Japan.

Unless I'm missing something, current Barracuda XTs are SATA600, not 300. Or did you mean the non-XT Barracudas?
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/internal-storage/
Price wise, the smallest XT is 2TB, and prices at $140
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148506
Same sized Hitachi's are $120
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145473
But if you are going for speed more the capacity, I'd go with the Hitachi's 1.5TG at $65 each
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145520
You'll get a much less expensive solution, especially in the long run when you'll add more drives to your RAID. At $65, you'll be able to have more disks, and be a lot faster.
If total capacity is not as critical as speed, ask them if they can get the 1.5TB Hitachi model instead of the 2TB.
PS: The Hitachi's have been tested on the Areca.
Most people use RAID5 because most RAID controlers out there are RAID5s. Only Areca makes RAID3 cards. Loosely explained, the advantage of RAID3 over RAID5 is the efficiency at reading and writing large files (video files) in a single user environment. Perfect for video editors. Also, if a drive fails, the RAID3 performance is not deteriorated. RAID 3 sucks in a multi user file server environment. Multiple access from different tasks bogs down the troughput drasitically. RAID5 on the other hand is way more efficient at reading multiple small files at the "same" time (documents, database access, etc). There is a good performance drop iwhen a drive fails, but it's still able to respond adequatly in a file server environment.
Many say RAID3 is an old inneficient technology and that it's dead. And RAID5 has evolved and is better at everything. Truth is, there is no one solution that does everything well. In reality, each has their place, and it depends largely on your workflow. So I suggest that, when your system is ready, if you have the time, try testing your RAID in both levels, and benchmark it yourself.

Freeze on HP Pavilion a6551nl with Seagate Barracuda harddisks

I have a HP Pavilion a6551nl. I have a problem with 2 Seagate Barracuda harddisks causing the system to freeze without any error message. First with 1 harddisk (1,5 TB). Because I thought the harddisk was bad a purchased a new harddisk, also a Seagate Barracuda (3 TB) but encountered the same problem. Running the HP diagnostics both disks gave an error BIOHD-8. Other disks I have are OK (Samsung and WD).
On the HP support page for my PC I found a tool that would fix issues with Seagate SATA drives: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-64493-1&cc=nl&dlc=nl&lc=nl&...=. However this tool supports only Windows Vista and not my Windows 7. Is there a tool or solution for Windows 7?

Hi,
Review this posted HP article on Seagate hard drives. You can create a bootable CD.
This entire thread is about Seagate hard drive issues.
Be sure to backup your system and data before using the update.
Try using the bootable CD. If you have more than one Seaate hard drive, then unplug the other drive and then try updating just one drive. Then use the same process on the other drive.

How do I force smart mailbox to only show me mail from one mailbox while also showing multiple senders?

It would help to post what you've tried. It does, indeed, appear that -h is the switch, and the man includes several examples, so if you've followed the examples and it's not working then that hints that you should pass it back to Apple.
You also don't say how you're implementing your change. Are you invoking slapd manually, or are you editing /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.openldap.slapd.plist ?
You should be doing the latter, and I'd expect to see something like this:
<array>
<string>/usr/libexec/slapd</string>
<string>-d</string>
<string>0</string>
<string>-h</string>
<string>ldap://x.x.x.20/ ldap://127.0.0.1/ ldapi://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fldapi</string>
</array>
(note the inclusion of ldap://127.0.0.1/ as an entry - you'll need to run on localhost as well the .20 address since all the local services will look to localhost)
You might also need an ldaps URL if you're using SSL but let's walk before we try to run

[kde] "Only show tasks from the current desktop" doesn't work for max

Hi,
I have two monitor setup (laptop + main monitor) and I would love to use "Only show tasks from the current desktop" option in KDE Task Manager but for some strange reason it doesn't work for me. Well, it works but only partially - for restored/unmaximized windows. When I maximize one it appears on the Taskbar on both screens. Is this normal? May it be due to the fact that I've placed Taskbar on top of the screens?
