Seagate HARD DISK Barracuda 2 TB 7200 64MB SATA3: can I fit in a Power Mac G5 Dual 2,7 Ghz (early 2005)?

Can I fit this Sata 3 in a Power Mac G5 Dual 2,7 Ghz (early 2005)?
Is there anyone who has bought it?
Thanks.

Hello,
G5s require SATA 1.5 Gb/s, some SATA2 or SATA3 drives are SATA1 compliant & step down, others do not, still others will if there's a true SATA1 Drive in slot 0.

  • How to increase RAM & Hard Disk a form at run time can use?

    Question: How to increase RAM & Hard Disk a form at run time can use?
    Explanation:
    I have a problem with a form at run-time. I guess this is due to shortage of RAM/Hard Disk. I want to increase these things so that the form can use more RAM/Hard Disk and it does not crash/cancel. The reason is that when I change/toggle TOOL --> Preferences --> Runtime, Buffer Records and Array Processing parameters, the problem is rectifies intermittantly. That is there is no fix combination of above-mentioned parameters to rectify the problem. After lot of attempts, it gets resolved but only temporarily. Next time I have to modify the form, I get the same problem.
    Please help.

    I am still waiting for an answer to the above question.
    May be Oracle Corp. or anyabody, please guide.

  • Power Mac G5 Dual 2.5 - Move Hard Drive to another G5??

    Hi,
    I'm using a Power Mac G5 Dual 2.5 w/ OS 10.5.8 with my Pro Tools 7.4.2 HD3 rig, 2 internal hard drives and tons of external FW hard drives.  It's being hinky with me (every time I reboot/restart the Mac, I have to take the side cover off or it won't boot; wierdest problem ever), and being that I don't want to plunk down thousands of dollars on a new Mac and all new Pro Tools equipment, I'm hunting E-Bay for an exact duplicate of my Mac, of which there are plenty.  Since PowerPC architecture is long dead, they are dirt cheap.  No reason not to have a spare.
    My questions are:
    If I buy another Power Mac G5 Dual 2.5 machine, and swap the hard drive it comes with, and use my already functional hard drive (with the OS, Pro Tools and all related plug-ins installed), and move over my Pro Tools cards and 8 GB of RAM to the new(er) machine, will it boot up and work without me having to reformat/reinstall everything? 
    I also see numerous Power Mac G5 Dual 2.7 machines out there as well.  What are the chances of doing the same as question 1 with this?  I know the processor is different, but would my already formatted and functional hard drive care?  I don't think this will work, but I have to ask.
    If Question 2 is even possible, would upgrading to a Dual 2.7 even be worth it as far as noticeable speed improvement?  Superior Drummer, EZ Drummer and EZ Keys are all real time plug-ins that need the Mac's processor/memory to work. They don't use the Pro Tools cards to work.  So, would getting that extra 200 Mhz of processor power even matter?
    The reason I ask is that reinstalling the OS and Pro Tools is not the issue; 4 hours and it's done.  BUT, reinstalling Superior Drummer, EZ Drummer,and EZ Keys, along with the mountain of expansion packs, will literally take several days of work.  If I could just plop my old hard drives and 8GB of RAM into a newly purchased G5 Dual 2.5 or 2.7, and not go through that, it would be AWESOME.
    Thanks for any feedback on this.

    Just got done making the transfer to the "new" Dual 2.7 G5 I bought off E-Bay.  (yes, on Christmas Eve, because....well.... I have no life).  Worked dead, solid perfect!!!  I'm grinning from ear to ear right now.
    I had to reset some pref's in Pro Tools (not an issue),  Just got done running Pro Tools through its paces, and it works perfectly.  All plug ins run (had to re-authorize Superior Drummer and some related plugins because it detected the change in system serial #, again not an issue).  Other than that, it worked like it always has. I loaded every third party plug-in I could find, and every third party program I could find, and so far everything works without any issues.  Only exception is Team Viewer locks up when I try to close it (have to Force Quit), but I couldn't care less right now. I use that twice a year if that, and just to have someone help me remotely.
    Thanks for the info and help.  This made my Holidays.

  • Which Hard Drives work in Power Mac G4 Dual 1.42

    I would like to upgrade my Power Mac G4 Dual 1.42 and add another hard drive but I'm not sure which type will work. I read in support docs that the machine supports ATA drives. Does this mean ATA-100, Ultra- ATA, SATA or something else? I'm not positive on all the differences or what is supported. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    The fastest drives currently available are the ones that will be sold as sATA drives, because they are the newest. Those same drives will be sold with SCSI and pATA interfaces, and often with Fiber Channel interfaces. If you want the fastest transfer speeds of anything, choose Fiber Channel.
    The advertised transfer rates of today's drives sound very impressive. But the bottleneck in today's drives is not the transfer rate. It is the bit density and the spin rate (RPM). A good 10,000 RPM drive (any interface) can produce a burst of data off the platters at about 50 MegaBytes a second. Then there will be a pause as it syncs up to read the next block.
    The drive can be written to at a slightly faster rate, but we typically read four times as often as we write (over a large sample of typical tasks), so the payback of really fast writes to the drive cache is diminished.
    sATA's major advantage is that it is Cheaper to manufacture. When that cost savings starts to be passed along to me, I will recommend it. Today you are paying extra for specs you will not see in daily use. What they are selling is Hype.
    Would you pay more for a car because it has the motor mounts for the supercharged engine?
    PS. Your Mac is exempt from the 128 MB limit:

    You need to get some software that allows your Mac to read and write to the NTFS disk.  There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, but this program has a good review, and you can try it for free.  I would move everything off of your external drive, reformat it into Mac OSX extended, and use it for your Mac.  You don't need NTFS anymore, unless you still have a Windows computer that needs it.

  • Seagate Hard Disk is not detecting

    Hi Friends,
    I have an AMD Athlon 64 Processor with MSI motherboard of VIA K8M800-CE + VT8237R Chipset. My Previous hard disk was a 120 GB Seagate SATA which is lost now. I purchased a new 250GB seagate SATA disk and try to install Window XP 2 in it, but even though the Raid floppy is working my Hard disk is not detectable. I have the same old Raid Floppy which was used for 12o GB hard disk. I am not sure what causiong this problem. Is it relatyed to SATA or Raid floppy. My floppy is working that i used 2 weeks before also. Is there anything i messed. Please help...
    Thanks and Regards

    Yes. A little strange to me. In a drawer somewhere I keep the very first hard disks I ever used. They still work, though they buzz a little. They date from 1997 and onwards. What happened to your lost disk?

  • Hitachi vs. Seagate Hard disks

    Hi:
    I recently acquired an "open" Hitachi 250 GB SATA disk for about $100 from Fry's, and two 160 GB SATA disks, one each by Seagate ($60) and Hitachi ($50).
    I also was given a 250 GB PATA by Hitachi but I believe it will not be recogized beyond 128 GB.
    Pl. advise on
    a) whether an "open" Hitachi 250 GB SATA disk at $100 is a good buy?
    b) whether to keep the Seagate or Hitachi (160 GB).
    c) What can I do with the 250 GB PATA by Hitachi - make it an external had drive?
    Thanks

    Sangeetha, welcome, making the 250 and external is a good idea, just make sure you get a firewire/USB enclosure. Then you can have a bootable backup drive on it. As for brands, I prefer Seagate, but I have a Hitachi, it is a very good product also. Can't go wrong with either. Maybe just check out GB per bucks and make your decision on that.

  • My hard disk suddenly filled up and I can't find the files

    that are causing my hard disk to fill up. I was watching some videos that was on an external drive on my computer using vlc. I finished one movie (.avi file) and then tried to watch the second one in the series. However, the vlc application would not open it. I tried several times. I gave up and tried opening it with the quicktime player. Even though it opened, I got a message that my startup disk was full. That was strange because I am sure I had about 20GB as I was keeping a close eye on my hard disk capacity. I had recently deleted many video files and so I had a rough idea of how much hard disk I should have.
    Anyway, I deleted some movie files to make space and then I checked my hard disk with Disk Inventory X.
    When I did that, I found some strange files.
    There are some temp files some of which are 1GB. The path is private/var/vm/tmp. One file is labeled a Quick Time player launcher document.
    Another one is called "sleepimage". Format is HFS+. It is 4GB. It was modified recently (yesterday). Its path is private/var/vm/sleepimage.
    I don't want to delete anything important by accident.
    I just think this is strange and want to find these files but when I click "Open", it says I don't have permission and I have to locate them in Finder. However, when I type "sleepimage" in Finder, nothing comes up.
    I really want to get rid of any files that take up a lot of space on my computer and that shouldn't be there. Do you think this is some kind of virus? And that's why my computer is filling up with some strange files. There are also many swapfile documents that are 1GB in size.

    I think the problem is Quick Time Player. I am using OS 10.6.8 by the way.
    I tried it out again.
    I had about 26 GB of space before I played an .avi video.
    After the movie started to play (it was slow to load), I got a warning message that my startup disk was full. I opened Disk Utility and it told me I had no space left (about 20 MB or something like that was left).
    I watched to the end of the movie.
    Then I quit Quicktime Player.
    And I shut down the computer.
    I turned on the computer and checked Disk Utility. I have about 26 GB of space.
    I think for some reason Quicktime Player uses up a lot of the disk space when it runs movies that are problematic. This movie I was watching did not open with vlc.
    I normally use vlc to watch movies.
    Probably it doesn't use up this much space when the movie is OK.
    I think there's a problem with this particular movie. It is about 50 MB so it's not that big a file. I watch .smi subtitles with it. The Quicktime Player automatically loads the subtitle file in this case because the subtitle file has the same name as the movie file.
    I watched about 10 movie files from the same series that I downloaded together and did not have any problem watching them. I watched them on vlc. But this latest movie had problems I think (as I repeat). It did not load on vlc even though I waited for a minute, and normally movies load instantly on vlc. 
    So I think that movie file caused problems. It made QT player use up a lot of hard disk space.
    I had better avoid watching that movie in the future. I don't want it to wreck my hard drive.
    So to sum up, everything is back to normal. I have the hard disk space that I should have. However, I am scared of damaging my hard drive due to shonky movie files that eat up all the space when they are played using QT player, and so I will not watch those files in the future, as I do not know why the files do that.

  • Hard Disk stuck !!! What can I do ?

    I got a 60GB Black iPod on October 29th. Debated for 4 months whether to drop my loyal flash Rio 1gb and get an ipod. Flying to NY from Chicago the ipod starts making this funny loud noise, the wheel would not work, the song that was being played did not play, the battery power ran out in 20 minutes as the hard disk seemed to be stuck...not to mention the heat on the back of the ipod. Given that the wheel did not work I could not turn it off. I had to wait until it ran off battery. Once in NY I did recharge the ipod. It worked fine while I was there. Flying back from NY to Chicago .. the problem came up again. Worse than before ... the noise in the hard disk was even louder. The girl next to me even heard it and looked.
    Has anyone experienced this? I really want to return this piece of hardware. I do not want it to be repaired with refurbished pieces. I paid over $400 for this just three weeks ago and now it just does not work. I am extremely careful with all my stuff. I never dropped it and I even bought a case for the 4th generation ipod just to protect it.
    My expectations were so much higher. Very dissapointed
    Any advice on how to proceed will be much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.
    DELL Insp 6000   Windows XP   Brand New !!!!!! 2GB Ram

    It would be nice to have more details about what happened than you have provided, but I gather that Disk Utility is currently reporting that your hard drive cannot be repaired. That happens if a drive is failing physically or if it becomes too badly corrupt. Sometimes the latter can happen following install of a new system. If the drive already has minor problems, writing tens of thousands of files to it can damage the data structures past the point of repair.
    The question now is what to do about it. You could try repairing with DiskWarrior, which can often repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. However, since your data could also have been damaged, and no utility can fix that, it would be better to erase the hard drive and restore from a recent backup. Do you have backups?

  • Upgrading Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0 Ram/Video Card/Hard Drives

    Hi there,
    Ok so I am an avid Mac user, but have neglected one of my machines lately. This old Power Mac G5 just pushed the 3 year mark and I had a bunch of repairs done to it (New Logic Board, Hard Drive, Power Supply) before the Apple Care ran out. I used to do all of my editing and stuff on it but haven't had time this past year so it has just sat here and not gotten any use. I felt as if it was time to get back in the game so I picked up another Apple 20" monitor, some M-Audio studio monitors, a 11" Wacom, but feel the machine is too outdated to do anything.
    Ok first off, I am looking to upgrade from the four 256 sticks (1GB) that I have in my computer with some 2 2GB kits (1GB x 2) (4GB total) and have been looking at the ram that Crucial suggests for this machine (8 Slots). Is there anything that I should look for in ram that will help me get through all of my 3D motion design faster (HD Final Cut too). I don't know a lot about ram when it comes to buffers and such, just how to buy compatible ram. Any suggestions?
    Second I am looking to upgrade my video card. I currently have the GeForce FX 5200 with 64 MB of VRAM, which is completely unacceptable. I am looking for a card that can handle all of my motion work along with rendering in Final Cut, something with 256MB of VRAM or more.. I want something that has 2 DVI connections so I don't need an adapter like I currently do with this card to hook up both Apple displays. Suggestions?
    Lastly I am looking to up my storage space on this beast. I currently have a brand new 160GB main HDD (Courtesy Apple Care) and a 250GB Maxtor internally. I would really like to have at least a TB of storage. My question is wether I should just keep the 160 for the main boot up drive and apps along with minimum documents to keep the speeds faster, and get a 500 internal and 500 exclosure, or get two 500's for internal?

    Hi-
    With RAM, fancy isn't necessary, compatible is. Buffers aren't supported, so stick with the recommended memory. Memory should be 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMMs that are 2.5 volt, unbuffered, 8-byte, nonparity, and DDR400-compliant (PC3200).
    Important: DIMMs with any of the following features are not supported in the Power Mac G5 computer: registers or buffers, PLLs, ECC, parity, or EDO RAM.
    For two DVI outputs, and the power to run your software, the only choices are the Geforce 6800GT and the Geforce 6800 Ultra. For a bit less money, but requires an ADC to DVI adapter for second DVI, the Radeon X800XT will help with the softwares needs. These benchmarks will help you see the performance of the cards.
    For storage, the 160gb will work for OS and applications, but you might as well add two 500gb-750gb drives. The new, enterprise drives have great performance, and though larger, will most probably work faster as a startup drive than the 160gb drive. These benchmarks are from a Mac Pro test, but the results illustrate the speed of the larger drives.
    The Western Digital SE16 series, or the Seagate ES series offer excellent performance and reliability. See Storage Reviews. For a 1tb drive, see this article.
    Of course, whatever you install, add enough external for full backup capabilities.

  • Seagate Hard Disk logistic error?

    I have recently lost all my data due to a "logistic error" on my Seagate 120 Gb HD.
    One day the computer just froze and on reboot showed that scary blinking question mark inside a file icon. Manuals tell you to reinstall your OS X from scratch, and 8 other steps if this doesn't do - as it didn't. I had to leave my new Macbook on an authorized repair office, which gave the above verdict.
    The issue is that this happened exactly 2 days after the Apple warranty had expired. On top of that, the repair office said that only this August in Brasília they had 4 other HDs with the same problem, with total data loss or extremely expensive to recover. All of them are Seagate.
    I was so stuck by this - it's my first Mac - that my computer use has halved, going back to my old MS PC. I had backed up my work files but lost all personal data, plus pre-installed apps; I use my Mac suspiciously now, with its new 250 Gb HD, and as a secondary computer instead of my primary one as it was.
    Confidence on Mac products has dropped considerably, and I wonder if this problem has happened to other users.
    Message was edited by: PedroMac08

    Same problem here. My daughter already lost 2 weeks of data while I was on vacation and not pushing to plug to the TimeMachine external disk every day. I had to re-install the MacBook after the last Apple update. Shame that the company does not react now and provide a program for customers with MacBooks, Seagate ST98823AS which our out of warranty for just a few weeks now.

  • Is this Seagate hard disk compatible

    Hello
    My Mac only has USB 2.0 ports and I wonder if I can connect the
    Seagate - STCA2000200 - Backup Plus  - External HD - 3,5'' - USB 3.0 - 2 To.
    Thanks
    Marc

    It is easy to upgrade to Thunderbolt™ technology or FireWire® 800 with add-on adaptors (sold separately). USB 3.0 is also backward compatible with USB 2.0.

  • I have linked my seagate hard drive to my airport extreme but can not seem to find it in finder any ideas

    Hi Help Please
    i have just linked an external hard drive to my airport extreme but it does not seem to appear in finder under shared !!!! any ideas

    i have plugged the hard drive into a usb router which in turn is plugged to to the AEBS it is visible in airport utility but then can not find it anywhere else!!
    First, the drive must be formatted correctly to work at the USB port of the AEBS. That means a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32. NTFS will not work.
    You need to have a powered USB hub, even if the hard drive has its own power supply
    Next, you may not have configured the Finder Preferences to display a connected hard drive. Please follow these steps:
    o Click anywhere on the open desktop so that the Finder menus appear at the top of the screen
    o Click Finder, then click Preferences
    o Click the General tab
    o Under the heading of "Show these itmes on the desktop", make sure you have a check mark next to Connected Servers
    Restart both the AirPort Extreme and your Mac
    Open Finder and check under the SHARED heading for your AirPort Extreme icon
    Click on your AirPort Extreme and a folder will appear in the window to the right representing your hard drive
    Double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop
    Hopefully, you are not planning to try to backup files using the Time Machine application, as this is not supported by Apple.
