Two internal hard-disk on sun Ultra 5 ??

Hi,
Can sun ultra 5 handle two internal hard-disk?
If it is possible, how can this be done?
Thanks on the sharing...
Best regards ,
jhayi

it should go where the floppy is/would be... you just need a different ide cable...
and remember the cable select or master/slave jumper settings... and the 137 gig hd size limitation!

Re: How can I add a second internal hard disk to a Satellite Pro P200?

I have a Satellite Pro P200 with a single internal hard disk. There is a second bay under the computer for another internal hard disk but I have not been able to find any information about it. There is enough space for a 2.5" SATA drive but I cannot see a connector.
I contacted Dutch Toshiba Customer support who said that it was the official policy not to provide any information about a second hard internal disk. They also said that they would not supply any parts to make it possible.
Can anyone provide some more information?

Hello
I have the same notebook with the same situation. The fact is that covers and the construction for all P200 notebooks is the same but notebooks are delivered with different hardware platforms. Some models are delivered with two HDDs.
Other models (like yours and mine) are delivered with one HDD but without possibility for upgrade with second HDD.

I have a Mac Pro tower with two internal Hard Discs, each one 2TB. I purchased a 3TB Time Capsule. But it does not allow me to back up because it says there is not enough back up space available. Between the two HDs there are 3.3TBs. Can I daisy chain TC?

I have a Mac Pro tower (OSX version 10.6.3) with two internal Hard Drives, each one 2TB.
I purchased a 3TB Time Capsule. But cannot back up because it tells me there is not enough space.
I have more than 3Tbs to store to the new TC.
Can I daisy chain two TCs to store the 4TBs?
How can I back up only the internal HD that is already full, without backing up the other one?
How can I do back up using Time Machine to back up the 3.5Tbs?
Do I need to purchase another external HD (that is not TC) to be able to back up all of my photos?

Can I daisy chain two TCs to store the 4TBs?
No, you cannot link to produce a single large partition.
But you can have two separate backup jobs.. and use each partition. That is hard on TM but you can easily get a different backup software for it.
How can I back up only the internal HD that is already full, without backing up the other one?
In TM you do a different setup and exclude the other drive.
But it is better to use an alternative software IMHO.
How can I do back up using Time Machine to back up the 3.5Tbs?
You would need to use a network drive of more than 4TB .. it would also take forever. This is just wrong way to do it. Although you can buy a NAS that will work with Time Machine and load it with disks 16TB is possible.. if you can get a second mortgage.. the fragile nature of TM on 3rd party devices.. would leave me in cold sweat if anything went wrong.
TM is excellent at keeping incremental backups of files that keep changing.. as such you should use TM to backup your OS disk and main user directory.. exclude all files and directories that never change. Back them up separately.
Do I need to purchase another external HD (that is not TC) to be able to back up all of my photos?
Yes, that is a much better idea. You want to store photos safely and you want to store them in multiple places. If you have multiple TB of photos, dedicate a couple of disks to the backup. ie have at least two copies.. not in backup format.. in straight copy format if possible.. so you can keep one of the disks offsite.
I would be using your MacPro internal disk access, to place the disk onto sata bus and do the copy disk to disk direct. Or even buy esata card.. or sata to esata converter cable so you can use esata box. That will beat any other transfer speed except thunderbolt for which you would need third mortgage. (The MORT in mortgage is significant).
The great jurist Sir Edward Coke, who lived from 1552 to 1634, has explained why the term mortgage comes from the Old French words mort, "dead," and gage, "pledge." It seemed to him that it had to do with the doubtfulness of whether or not the mortgagor will pay the debt.

Can't repair or partition internal hard disk with disk utility

Hi,
For the past couple months I've been trying to repair and (re)format my second internal hard disk. It stopped showing up on the desktop after I attempted to install leopard on it. Until then I'd had no problems with the disk for the two years I've had it Leopard installed fine on the other smaller internal disk. But the second disk only shows up in disk utilities - it doesn't have any volumes. I can't verity the disk because the button is greyed out as is the repair disk button.
S.M.A.R.T. Status shows "not supported".
Partition Map Scheme shows "unformatted".
Whenever I startup my computer I get a dialog box stating "The disk I have inserted is unreadable by this computer". I't referring to my 250gig internal disk. I read some posts here that suggested using OS 10.4 disk utility to format but that doesn't work either.
At this point I'm totally lost as are all the files I had on that disk - I initially erased it back when I attempted to install leopard on it. Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks for any and all help

Hi V.K.
Thanks for the advice. Luckily I don't have any data on it since I wiped it clean back when I attempted to install leopard on it a couple months ago. I'm really amazed that it only lasted two years compared to my 80gig which has been in use [daily] for at least five years. I hardly ever used the 250gig drive. I ordered another (500gig) drive from Western Digital which I expect to be here in a couple days. In the mean time I guess I'll get out my hammer.
Thanks for your help.

"Ghost" System folder on internal hard disk.

I have a mid-2010 iMac with a 120 SSD (used for the operating system, primary applications and documents) and a 1 TB internal hard disk for seldom-used applications, documents and movies. Although everything works reasonably well, the Hard Disk keeps creating a System folder on the internal Hard Disk with a Library folder, which in turn holds some Caches. If I delete this System folder on the Hard Disk by way of Cocktail, the computer simply creates it again. Is this normal?

Hey Allan...
I assure you, these audio related cards are very much
completely real and assuredly non-mythical!
They are:
A MOTU PCI-424 card, which is a proprietary card for running multitrack MOTU audio interfaces.
A Universal Audio UAD-1 card, which is a piggy-backing DSP card that runs audio plug-ins.
This is the main computer in a recording studio that I
run. My initial plan was to have two separate internal
drives that are identical, so that if one drive were to
die, I could immediately reboot from the other system
and have almost no down time.
I was asking about this on an audio related board and
someone made the point that having multiple instances
of system software might be causing a problem.
As a workaround, I think instead I will load an extra
internal SATA drive and just keep it in a box, waiting
where I can just pop it in if the system drive fails.
I've tried everything and the PCI cards don't show up
under system "A", if the drive with system "B" is also
mounted. I don't know if there's any tricky workaround
to this... mounting drives in a different order maybe?
I'm not heavily tech-savvy, so I think the easiest option
is just having a separate replacement drive rather than
using one of the drives that is always mounted.
Let me know if you think of anything though...
Best,
Fred

Problem installating Snow Leopard on old Macbook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo. After creating partition on internal hard disk (Extended Journaled), installation starts but stops at half of the progress bar. Screen asking Restart appears.

Hello:
I have tried installing Snow Leopard via the installation disc on a Macbook Pro (2007) with an Intel Core 2 Duo, but I the installation has failed more than 5 times.
I have first formatted and partitioned the internal hard disk with Mac Os Extended Journal format.
Once the installation starts, it starts without a problem unti lthe progress bar gest until half completed then a screen asking for a Computer Restart shows up.
It asks to press the power button for some time until it the computer shuts down and then, press again to turn it on.
Once turned on, the installation disc gets readed, the installation screen appears again and asks again to start the whole installation process form the beginning.

Then you have a Hardware Problem.
Your system is Crashing part way through the install and Re-Booting because of the crash.
Could be the drive itself or it could be some other hardware part in your system. Like the RAM.
To check if it is the internal drive connect an External drive to the system by USB and do the install on that external. If the install completes then it more then likely the drive is bad. If it crashes again then it is more then likely some other piece of hardware in your system.

ITunes showing Album Covers of external hard disk i/o internal hard disk

Greetings from Malaysia again. Searched through the Discussion Group, but couldn't find anything there. Thus, hope to get your assistance on this matter.
I have some music stored in the internal hard disk of my G4 iBook. However, recently I decided to have all my music stored in an EXTERNAL hard disk, ie in addition to what's in the iBook, to sync with my iPod. Both have the artwork or album covers. The issue is when I boot up ONLY the iBook, even without the external hard disk on, iTunes (Version 8.1) is showing the Artwork/Album Covers (and list of music) of the EXTERNAL hard disk instead of what's in the iBook. I've even tried the "Option key/Choose Library", but to no avail. I've even tried changing the location, after starting up iTunes in the Preference settings, but still the same story.
Is there any way to have iTunes reflect the correct Artwork/Album Covers (and list of music) when I have the external hard disk connected, as well as otherwise?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards.

Moved the existing library. Created a new one, and moved all the songs to the new library. Subsequently, when using the "Option" key to select the library, it ended up as what I wanted, ie iTunes showing the album covers for the songs/album in the respective library - ie external hard disk, and internal in the notebook.

How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?

How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?
The music I want to move was in iTunes but is now just files. I had to reinstall a new iTunes and lost all my old music.
Thank you!

That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer. It is not related to your question.
You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window. After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod. You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

No way to free space in the internal hard disk.

Hi guy
There's no way to free any space in the internal hard disk. If I throw 5 giga of files in the trash and empty it, I don't find 5 more giga of avalaible space in the internal hard disk. Time Machine is not activated. Any idea to solve the problem? Sorry for my english....

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

Is it possible to upgrade the internal Hard disk drive on the iMac

Is it possible to upgrade the internal Hard disk drive on the iMac?

Yes but it's definitely not advised. If you have a machine newer than 2009 Apple uses drives that have integrated heat sensors. This makes upgrading much more difficult but not impossible. If you have a machine still under warranty then definitely DO NOT do this yourself as you may void the warranty not to mention it isn't for the faint of heart. Take the machine to an AASP to have the work done, you will need to find one in your area willing to do so.
If you are considering a new machine then simply buy the configuation you need.

Ssd internal hard disk compatible for a macbook2010

Hy everyone!i need help to choose a new hard disk for my Mac book pro 2010!
I was wondering which ssd 2.5 inch internal hard disk brand is compatible for it?
I would go with a crucial or samsung,but i really don't know what i should notice before choosing.

stefanobernardini,
I put a Samsung 840 PRO SSD in my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro. It’s been working flawlessly for me so far. Other people here have good things to say about the SSDs made by Crucial and by OWC, but the 840 PRO is the only one which I have experience with, so I’ll restrict my recommendations to it.

How to manage two internal hard drives

I just got my new iMac 27" with two internal hard drives (256gb SSD and 1Tb). When I migrated from my old computer it moved everything to the SSD drive. Are there some instructions somewhere to manage this and move things to the proper drive and have the info show up in my PLACES section in finder?

When you get the 27"iMac with the SSD, OS X comes installed on the SSD; so the migration assistant would naturally move applications to the SSD, including the contents of your user folder.
If you want to copy or move files/folders to the 1TB SATA drive you can do this any time in the Finder. Just don't move the +/Applications, /Library, /System+ or /Users folders
Can't tell from your post what you want showing in Places, but you can put any folder in the Places section of the Finder - just drag the folder there and it will show up in Places. The items in Places are just references - you can add or delete them at any time; it doesn't affect the actual location of the folder(s).

Mac OSX wont reognise my internal hard disk drive

I have a problem where for some reason when I start up my Macbook Pro (intel core duo) it does not detect the internal hard disk drive at all. I have run a hardware test and it shows no problems whatsoever. I have tried resetting the PRAM etc and to no avail. Yesterday the system hung and I tried to force quit and it wouldn't do anything so eventually I held down the power key and when it tried to reboot this is the problem I was faced with (it would boot up with the "no entry" sign). I accepted complete defeat and went to completely re-install OSX however it doesn't even show the internal hard drive when I wait for it to give me install destinations. I had tried seeing the hard drive through disk utility however it only shows the install DVD and that's it in the sidebar. I resigned myself further to thinking either the logic board or the HDD had packed in all and I took it round to my brother in law to see if there is anything he could do without opening the machine (he is Oxford educated and writes programmes etc so is very knowledgable), now this is the part that has miffed us both, he started it up using a Linux disc and once running, Linux see's the hard drive with no problems. He has been able to access the HDD with absolutely no problems under Linux both reading and writing to it. I even took my Mac Mini round and he booted them both up in Linux and completely copied Mac OSX from the mini to the macbook pro but still when I try booting up its as if the HDD isn't even there. Why can Linux see the drive and not Mac OSX? Please don't be affraid to get very technical in your answers as they may mean nothing to me but will probably all make sense to my brother in Law. Any sugestions at all would be greatly accepted.

Dear mcdkev,
You guys may have made a big error cloning the Mini HD into the MBP. They both have very different drivers and hardware settings and their OS X versions are customized to fit the hardware. That is why each mac comes with it's own version of OS X and their backup disks. That's a reason why it did not work.
Ok, so now that you do not have any of the original info on the MBP try the following:
Use linux to scan the disk surface & repair any problems.
Reformat the drive as DOS or FAT 32. (I wouldn't go into any linux specific format unless you can "Apple" format it, which I don't think linux has that option.)
Now, the MBP should be able to see it's drive...
boot from the OS X DVD , from the Utilities menu choose Disk Utilities, partition the drive as GUI file system (in case the linux format made the drive a "system boot record", you do not want that... )
Then format the drive as "OS X Extended Journaled"
Now go back to install and install your original basic set of OS X (the factory default).
*If nothing works, please do take your MBP to the Apple store or to a certified tech before you do more damage to the drive and it becomes unusable ...*

I currently have a mbp with two internal hard drives ( took super drive out) which for a video editor like myself is a dream I can edit video anywhere, my question can I order a new mbp with 2 internal flash drives?

I currently have a mbp 2.3 gighuz intel core 7 16 gig of ram with two internal hard drives ( took super drive out) which for a video editor like myself is a dream I can edit video anywhere, my question can I order a new mbp with 2 internal flash drives?

I wouldn't think so because the newer ones with Retina displays don't have an internal SuperDrive that can be replaced. Therefore the newer logic boards wouldn't have the two SATA/SATA Express connections on the logic board.
At least that was the case as of 2012. I've seen newer ones and they also don't have a SuperDrive.
