Hi,
That means you can use up to 1TB (currently on the market, remember buy the 9.5mm one). These are how to do & tips:

    Is there a possible way to identify the driver? It says it is installed correctly. Also i cannot find usbvideo.sys can this be the problem?

  • Maximum external Hard Drive size for Airport Disk?

    Is there a maximum size for the hard drive that's being connected to the USB port on the new Airport Extremes?
    Or will it support up to the maximum that's allowed by the USB chipset?

    Since it allows standard USB hard drives to connect, the limitation should have nothing to do with USB or the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). The limitation should only be with the IDE/ATA disk controller within the USB enclosure.

  • Maximum hard drive size for 350 MHz slot loading?

    Hello,
    What is the maximum hard drive size for a 350 MHz slot loading imac?
    I am aware of a 128 GB limit on imacs. Does the 128 GB hard drive limit apply to all imac CRTs or just the earlier models?
    Here are the specs of my imac:
    Blueberry 350 MHz
    Slot loading CD-ROM drive,
    6 GB hard drive
    Is the maximum hard drive size limit of 127GB apply to this particular model?
    Thanks

    Yes, the last CRT iMac was in 2001. The first machines with built-in greater than 127 GB support were released in June 2002, as this article explains:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
    So all CRT iMacs have that limiation.

    The 8 GB limit is explained here:

    My itunes library was on my PC.  About two years ago I switched it to my Seagate server/hardrive. (itunes-preferences-advanced-change library). Last summer (2012) I bought a macbook, which seems to access the seagate server hard drive fine for word docs, excel spreadsheets,etc. It also seems to have started its own library which is not complete. My PC died this summer (I still have it though).
    Now when syncing any of the multiple devices (ipods,ipads, iphones) that we have with my mac book, itunes states that "an error occurred" or the "app cannot be found".  Itunes wants me to erase the device and sync with my macbook. The message "The iPhone “Renee’s iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library on “Renee PC”. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."appears.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • Maximum hard drive size for upgrading a dv6375ea?

    Hello to all,
      My hard drive began to make noises and since it is past warranty, I will upgrade it. When I had bought the laptop I had chatted with a HP personnel on these support pages, and he/she had told me that the maximum size that the bios allowed was 120 gb. That is the original hard drive size!
      Has anyone upgraded their hard drive or does anybody know of a technical value that I should try?
    Thanks for your time,

    You can install as large a drive as you can find as long as it is SATA and 2.5" wide and 9.5 mm thick. SATA drives have no BIOS size limit. However, some have occasionally reported issues with 500 gig drives and 7200 rpm drives. I can therefore tell you with 100% certainty you can install a 320 gig 5400 rpm drive in your laptop. My favorite website for laptop hard drives is newegg.com. Don't buy from HP parts; it will cost way too much. You should be able to find the drive I mention for around $80 and laptop drives are also sold at Best Buy, Frys and similar stores.

  • O.S. / Hard Drive Size for NIO Server/Client's load testing...

    Hi All
    I am currently load testing a NIO Server/Client's to see what would be the maximum number of connections that could reached, using the following PC: P4, 3GHz, 1GB RAM, Windows XP, SP2, 110 GB Hard Drive.
    However, I would like to test the Server/Client performance on different OS's:
    Which would be the best possible option from the following:
    1. Partition my current drive, (using e.g. Partition Magic), to e.g.
    - Win XP: 90 GB
    - Win Server 2000: 10 GB
    - Linux: 5 GB
    - Shared/Data: 5 GB
    2. Install a separate Hard drive with the different hard drives
    3. Use a disk caddie, to swap in/out test hard drives.
    4. Any thing else?
    - Would the Operating System's hard drive size affect the Server/Client's performance, e.g. affecting the number of connections, number of File Handles, the virtual memory, etc.?
    Many Thanks,
    Matt

    You can use a partition on the same HDD or use a second HDD, disk caddie well if its a direct IDE or SCSI. If its usb no it will be too slow, may be if you have a fire-wire but I still don't recommend it.
    Be careful if you don't have any experience installing Linux you may do multiple partitions on you disk without knowing, because Linux ext partitions are not visible to windows.
    Recommended disk size for fedora is 10 GB. This is the amount of data that will be created on you HDD when you do a full installation.

  • What is the maximum hard drive size for Imac 8,2, what is the maximum hard drive size for Imac 8,2

    Am wondering what is the maximum hard drive one can put into this computer. I think it's a 3TB but I read somewhere the drive needs a jumper to bring it back to 3mb level cache. Can anyone confirm these details please? I currently have a 320GB drive installed.

    Hi Robbie,
    I found no iMac 8,2, do you mean iMac 8,1 ???
    There is no practical limit to the size, the biggest ones made will work fine... assuming the all important SATA 3 Gb/s speed, WD drives use a jumper on pins 5&6 to slow it from 6 Gb/s to 3 Gb/s.
    Some drives do it automatically...

    And some do not step down properly at all.

  • Does anyone know the maximum hard drive size for a 2007 Macbook Pro (A1226)?

    I have a 2007 Macbook Pro (A1226). Is there a limit to the sized hard drive that can be installed? If so, what is the largest hard drive I can put into it? I have a 500GB HD that I upgraded to from the 320 GB that was in it when I bought it. I'm now trying to install a 1 TB or 750 GB drive, but after cloning with 'Carbon Copy Cloner' and installing it, I get the "?-folder" flashing when I start up. I'm pretty confident in CCC because if I use it to clone to another 500GB HD, it works fine. The problem only occurs when I try to use larger drives. Is 500GB the largest HD I can use in this machine? If so, can anyone point me to a spec sheet so I can be sure the next Macbook I buy can be expanded to suit me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Brian

    You said:  "I've never tried the restore function in disk utility. Would that be the same as cloning the drive?
    YES!  See the my old instructions below.  What you might try after step 5 is to restart you MBP holding down the Option key.  Select the new HDD icon and see if it boots.  This way you will know that the new HDD is operable.
    Ciao.
    INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MB
    1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
    2. You will need a HDD enclosure.  One with a USB connection will do.  A 9 pin Firewire is better.
    3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
    4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE.  From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field.  Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'.  Click on the 'Erase' button.
    5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top).  Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination'  field.  Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
      Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more.  A Firewire will speed up the transfer.  This will result in both drives having identical information on them.
    6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives.  Start the MBP and you have finished the installation.  The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
    7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have.

  • Maximum hard drive size for HP HPE-180t

    Is there a way to have the entire space of a 4TB SATA III (6Gb/s) drive show up in Windows 7 x64 running on an HPE 180t?  I installed one such hard drive on my HPE-180t, and the BIOS only saw 2TB of space, and the drive did not show up in Windows.  HP Diagnostics tools (run before Windows starts) reported the following error "communication with device failed".   The motherboard and bios info is shown below.  SATA mode is set to RAID.   The hard drive itself passes all the SMART tests in BIOS and seems to function fine. 
    There are two separate problems.   The communication error above, which needs to be solved first, and the "only 2TB showing in BIOS" problem.   Can the 2TB problem be addressed with another BIOS on this motherboard or some BIOS setting on the existing BIOS?  If so, what is the BIOS and/or settings?
    I looked through HP online support today (including google searches on the HP support forums) and did not see the answer to these questions/problems.

  • Maximum hard drive size for HP Pavilion Elite e2980t? I put in a 3TB, but it shows up as 800GB

    I installed a 3TB drive, but it shows up in the bios as 800GB. What is the maximum supported size?
    I suspect that the HP Pavilion Elite e2980t cannot accept more than an 800 GB drive. This is consistent with the product selection choices that are available to purchasers. 
    Can anyone confirm?
    Are there a set of drivers I can install that would work around this limitation?

    Hi:
    If you are using the drive as a boot drive, your PC probably does not have a UEFI BIOS, so it can't recognize all 3 TB.
    If you are using it as a data drive, go into the Windows disk management tool, format the drive GPT, and windows should be able to see and use all 3 TB.
    Please see this white paper regarding UEFI & GPT.
    While this applies to business desktops it is also relevant to consumer desktops as well.

  • Maximum Hard Drive Size for Mac Pro OS X 10.6.4

    I would like to install a backup drive in my Mac Pro. What is the largest drive I can install?
    A 1.0T would work but a 2.0T would be better.
    When I bought my Mac Pro in Oct 2008 it stated I could have up to 4.0T of drive space. Does that mean I am limited to 1.0T drives? I have since upgraded to Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.4. Will it recognize 2.0T drives?
    The new drive will be used for backup only. Any recommendations?

  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) - Maximum internal hard drive size and speed?

    What is the maximum size of hard drive and speed for an internal hard drive to my Macbook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2009), please?
    I bought myself a Technics 1TB, 7200 rpm internal hardrive. Made a clone successfully in Super Duper.
    It fits, but It is not available for starting up my Macbook Pro. Not available in System Prefs, but visible and grey in Disc Utility.
    Although it starts up my Mac Pro just fine.. but not my Macbook Pro.
    Is there a limit of hard drive specifics?

  • Max Hard Drive size for Ultra 10s

    Hi,
    I'm kinda new to sun and I have a ultra 10s with a 9 Gig factory installed HD.
    I was wondering what the maximum sized IDE hard drive that can be installed. I would like to mirror the system as well. I've seen another post about this but the max size was a 27 Gig drive and didn't explain how to mirror. I have Solaris 8 1/01 meda kit does that include the required software to mirror the drives. I think it's called Raid Manager?
    Many thanks

    I'm not sure what the max drive size supported on an Ultra-10, but most
    new Sun products are shipping with 40 GByte EIDE drives and use the
    same chipset. Caveat emptor: Solaris <7 may or may not support EIDE
    larger than 8GBytes, but since you are on Solaris 8 you should be ok.
    For SCSI drives (requires a PCI SCSI HBA for the Ultra-10) the size can
    be quite large. The most common large size SCSI drives today is 180
    GBytes, but SCSI is designed to scale much larger.
    You don't want RAIDManager for mirroring. Look for Solstice DiskSuite (SDS)
    in your media distribution. If I'm not mistaken, it is cleverly hidden in
    the "EA" directory on CD 2of2 in the media kit. Also, look for docs on
    mirroring root using SDS on http://docs.sun.com

  • Max Hard Drive Size for Airport Extreme 4th Generation (A1354)?

    I've got a 4th gen Airport Extreme (A1354) (MC340LL/A).
    Currently I'm using a 2TB Western Digital USB2 hard drive connected externally.
    I'd like to add a larger capacity hard drive so that I can back up more computers. What's the maximum HD size and configuration I can add to this Airport?
    Thanks!
    Seth

    For now, the nearest available information may not be fully suggestive of
    the possible largest or unofficially supported external HDD it may use...
    Since a similar-spec Time Capsule has the option for either a 2TB or 3TB
    internal HDD as part of that configuration, the safe bet suggests 3TB.
    There may be an issue with larger drives and multiple computers using
    one large drive, since I'd seen some mention of a few user problems when
    two or more Macs were sharing Time Machine storage on one larger HDD.
    And someone may know of the information about a software utility that may
    be able to help keep track of the files or organize them, in such a situation.
    In passing, some weeks ago, I'd read about such a utility to help alleviate an
    issue that may result from two or more Macs with Time Machine files on the
    same backup hard disk drive. But did not keep the link nor retain those details.
    If you did get a larger external hard disk drive of sufficient spin rate RPM
    and cache size, then it may be a simple matter to format it with partitions
    so extra space may be in reserve or any capacity unable to work with
    the total configuration could be used for general storage, apart from TM.
    Hopefully there is a good drive available for that application.
    I'd inquire of OWC as they have some examples of hardware.
    Good luck & happy computing!
