Unterschiede der 2,5 Zoll, 2TB ext. HDD's

Hallo Leute, möchte mir noch eine zweite externe Festplatte zulegen, kann mich aber nicht entscheiden welche, da ich mit den Unterschieden der Produktpalette nicht vertraut bin. Ich besitze eine WD My Passport mit 2TB und 2,5". Bis jetzt noch keine Probleme gehabt. Es stört mich nur, dass die weiße LED auch leuchtet, wenn der PC ausgeschaltet ist. Wo genau liegen denn die Unterschiede zwischen: 1. My Passport 2. Elements 3. My Passport Ultra 4. My Passport X (5. (My Passport Wireless - ist klar)

1. Smartware Software, Datenträger Verschlüsselung
2. Keine Smartware Software, keine Datenträger Verschlüsselung
3. Smartware Software, Datenträger Verschlüsselung, andere Ästhetik gegenüber der regulären Passport.
4. Für die XBox One Console geeignet.

How to identify damaged files in ext HDD?

Early 2008 iMac - iMac8,1 - Intel Core 2 Duo - OS X 10.6.8 - (int) Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500GB - (ext) OWC Qx2 enclosure w. 4x2TB TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 - Wacom Intuos Pen&Touch tablet (no mouse) - DSL - Flash Player.
I think hardware is the place for this question.
I inherited this iMac back in May/June, spent a month or two with it, did a fresh install of Leopard, and then Snow Leopard on top of that. Everything seemed fine. Speedy response. Decent browsing speed, even with my crappy 3 Mbps DSL.
I added two separate HW upgrades: a SSD int hard drive + RAM to 4GB (installed by reputable local shop), and added a 4-bay ext HDD set up as 4 independent drives, JBOD (purchased from OWC). I feel I made a mistake in doing both of those things at the same time, as I immediately encountered glitches that have been hard to troubleshoot. The worst was the ext HDD / enclosure suddenly un-mounting all by itself, complete with error message ("was not ejected properly"), promptly after which the drives reappear on the desktop, with their contents seemingly in place.
I'm not looking for help troubleshooting; I think I've found the problem, at least for the un-mount issue (bad FW port, thankfully there are two). There might or might not be lingering stall-when-opening-folder issues, too soon to tell. Both vendors have been helpful with their responses.
What I'd like to know is how (or if) the contents of the ext HDDs can be scrutinized for damage? This un-mount thing happened at least a dozen times, and several other times I was forced to manually shut down the HDD enclosure when everything else was frozen. I have to think something's been corrupted or damaged with all of that un-ejected off-and-on activity.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The only meaningful test of whether there are "corrupt files" is to use the computer. If it behaves normally, you can assume that the operating system and applications are intact. As for your other files, open the most important of them and see whether the contents are what you expect.
Though swapping the FW port SEEMS to have stopped the sudden un-mounting (maybe not enough time spent scrutinizing that yet), there is still problematic behavior. Just this evening, after the desktop was on all day but saw little use (Safari, iTunes), I tried simply opening one of the hard drives:
- 8 minutes to simply open the window. Spinning beach ball. Window changed dimensions from prior use, appeared as though it was opened for the first time. It showed no contents.
- 20 more minutes to show contents. During this time, the spinning progress wheel spun. Contents finally showed up.
- 8 more minutes to open one folder. Spinning progress wheel.
Contents appear to be there. This is a storage disc, no backups ever performed. This new 2TB drive contains only 100GB.
This stall seemingly caused other stalls elsewhere. Namely, a simple text copy-and-paste function in TextEdit. When the HDD finally decided to finish, TextEdit was available to me again.
Welcome to my world.

Airport Extreme freezing when accessing ext HDD

My Airport Extreme keeps dropping the connections when I try to access files on the WD 3TB external HDD connected in the USB port.
I am able to connect to the internet at all times using either a newly purchased 2012 Mackbook Pro, iPad, iPhone or Windows 7 laptop. But when I try to access my files on the ext HDD, it works 1/10 of the time. I am able to access the drive and partitions, but when I select files, mostly movies (avi & mp4), it will more often then none freeze up and drop the network/internet connection. It will then indicate in the Airport utility that the Airport Extreme is no longer in range and there is no more internet until I disconnect the power from the Airport Extreme, wait a few seconds and reconnect the power. 3 minutes later the Airport Extreme is back on-line and Internet and network are restored. I have had to do this more then 8 times this morning alone.
The Airport Extreme is currently using firmware 7.6.1.
Saw many posts dating back to 2008 and have tried changing configs to recommendations, but nothing is working.
Not sure what to do to correct this, need help.

Lebruny,
Did you happen to find the cause of the freez up of you AE?.
I have mine connected to a WD 2TB, and when I heavily access the drive, I encounter the same problem you described.
Thanks,
Daddu

Ext HDD seen by 2011 MBP but not 2014 MBA

Hi all
My GF just unboxed a new 13" MBA. One of the models refreshed last week
She wants to set up fresh & just bring over some data from ext HDD's she used with her old MBP.
It is a 2Tb Seagate Drive (USB 3), which has an external power supply.
The drive is formatted into 2 partitions, a 1.5TB OSX Journaled and a 500Gb FAT-32 (for when she needs to transfer files to/from a PC).
The drive shows up fine on her MBP just fine. In Finder & Disk Utility.
However on the new MBA, there is no signs of it at all. Disk Utility & Finder shows nothing.
Both left & right USB ports on the new MBA work ok. I can see a different Western Digital (USB 2) powered ext. HDD no problems.
The Seagate drive LED lights up when plugged into the MBA and you can hear it spinning, it just won't show anywhere in the OS.
Any ideas brains trust?
I've done all the usual troubleshooting.
Could it be something to do with the firmware on the MBA needing upgrading?
Thanks, Luke

hi
typo mistake, what I meant to say is that your external HD is recognised by you old MBP and it is running in MBA but not shown (not being recognised as external USB) as you said that "The Seagate drive LED lights up when plugged into the MBA and you can hear it spinning, it just won't show anywhere in the OS." , have you checked that the power for the exHD on? because as I said ealier that I have ex HD imation 1 Tb used as backup for TimeMachine and someday forgot to turn on the power supply but when the exHD was plugged, the LED ON and I could hear the drive running, unfortunately not recognised by me MBP until I turned the power on. If the power is ON in your exHD then I suggest to contact apple customer service not the community only as you MBA is 2014 and under warranty

Is that silly to configure a thunderbolt RAID ext HDD with partitions

I have bought a WD my passport pro 4TB thunderbolt ext HDD. My original idea is to use the two HDDs of the my passport pro (in JBOD ) embodied through thunderbolt and expecting twice the transfer rate from that of usb 3.0 hdd, and 2TB one for storage and another 2TB as time machine.
Disappointingly, it only provide a barely surpass USB 3.0 performance.
Hence, I am considering the following, so as to utilize the Raid 0 setup in order to get a better speed performance.
1) Part the two HDDs into A1A2 and B1B2 (each partition 1TB)
2) Map A1B1 into a raid 0 setup, while A2 left idle and B2 as time machine for the my macbook pro and (A1b1 raid 0 set-up)
3) The speedtest result of A1B1 raid 0 and the indviudal A2, and b2 is apparently ok.
My questions are:
1. Would the setting in this way become unstable? and create silly bugs?
2. I read that Raid 0 demand a whole piece of disk to be used? why I could setup in this way through disk utilities?

BLF call presence is not yet working and I haven't identified the buddy watch or the lines in the config file that address this
You have feature.1.name="presence" feature.1.enabled="1" included in your <PHONE_CONFIG></PHONE_CONFIG> It is "generic enable" for so called "buddy watch" feature. But then, you need to configure who's your buddy.
It is part of phone's directory, e.g. [MAC address]-directory.xml file, but you have no such file. I assume your directory (so buddy list as well) is empty. The file in question looks like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<directory>
<item_list>
<item>
<ct>110</ct>
<lb>Toby Flenderson</lb>
<bw>1</bw>

</item>
<item>
<ct>106</ct>
<lb>Edna Abbot</lb>
<bw>1</bw>
<sd>2</sd>
</item>
</directory>
The bw is acronym for "buddy watch". Phone directory records with bw=1 are your buddies. It's status is monitored by Polycom phone then.

Why does ext HDD / time machine run slow?

Apologies if this is answered else where, but I can't find any answers.
I have a MBP running OSX 10.6.8. Connected to it as a Time Machine is a Freecom 400GB 28147 uk, external hardrive connected over USB 2.0. I also have a Mac Mini running 10.6.8.
When connected to my MBP, I have found that it is extremely slow to read files. I gave up using it for Time Machine a while ago as I thought there was a problem Time Machine software causing it to run slow. I have also tried to read the time machine backups through finder and they are still slow to read.
Today (don't know why i didn't do it before now) I plugged it in to my Mac Mini with USB 2.0 and found that I can read all the time machine files at lightning speed, far quicker than my MBP which can take 2-3 mins to open a folder. I have noticed that the hard drive doesn't make its usual whurring noise when im trying to open a folder using the MBP, right up until the last minute before the folder opens.
Does any one have any idea about what might be causing the problem when the the ext HDD is connected to my MBP?
Any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated.

How are you connected to it? Network problems could explain at least some of what you're seeing.
More often then not I don't know how long the backups take because when it becomes to annoying I stop the backup.
That guarantees that Time Machine will have to do a "deep scan" the next time, comparing everything on your system to the backups. That does take a while, but if there are no other problems shouldn't have a major impact on performance.
All of that said, I can't say for certain that there isn't something else going on. Generally the way I notice the slowdown is when my keyboard inputs come out screwy -- ingB instead of Bring, pplAication for Applicaton for example. When I know that this is happening I can work "around" it by typing the first letter, pausing for a second or two, then typing the remander. Does any of this ring an bells?
I've not heard of that specifically, but if you're connected to the Drobo wirelessly, and using a Bluetooth keyboard, there are reports of interference between the two. Try a wired keyboard temporarily, and/or different WIFI channels.

Help needed connecting Iomega Minimax Ext HDD to Airport Extreme 802.11n

Would appreciate if someone can help me with the following task. After researching and trying several things, I have not succeed in resolving the issue.
I want to connect a Iomega MiniMax Ext HDD (for Mac) to my (Airport Extreme 802.11n + Time Capsule) box using the USB port at the back of my Airport Extreme. Then I want to access the Ext HDD wirelessly as a drive on my Macbook (snow leopard OS). I was told this was possible at the Apple Store...but have failed so far.
Any suggestions so far

Hello smitra. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The following are the basic steps for sharing an external USB drive attached to either an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) or a Time Capsule (TC):
o Plug the hard disk into the USB port on the back of the base station.
o Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Mac, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows
o Select your base station, and then, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
o Click Disks in the toolbar, and then, click File Sharing.
o Choose “With a disk password,” or “With base station password” if you want to secure the shared disk with a password, or choose “With accounts” if you want to secure the disk using accounts. If you choose to use accounts, click Configure Accounts, click the Add "+" button, and then enter a name and password for each user that will access the disk. For simplicity, I would recommend using the "With a disk password" option.
o Choose “Not allowed,” “Read only,” or “Read and write” to assign guest access to the disk.
o Select the “Share disks over Ethernet WAN port” checkbox if you want to provide remote access to the disk over the WAN port.
You should now be able to find this drive within Finder under the SHARED category.

"The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" on NTFS ext HDD

I have spent hours trying to find a solution to this problem, but alas - nothing really useful came up. Therefore I now turn to you, Discussions - you're my only hope!
And to the case:
I just got a brand new shiny and aluminiy MacBook Pro a couple of weeks back, and since my last laptop was a PC, I have been very content ever since switching.
However, this week I bought a new Lacie 2TB external HDD (also shiny) and backed up a lot of stuff from my Windows days.
I partitioned it in Windows and made two NTFS partitions (approx. 1.8TB + 200GB). It was not an option for me to partition it to HFS, as I need it to exchange files between my Mac (using ntfs-3g) and my (and other) Windows computers (and a lot of files exceed the FAT32 file size limit).
Unfortunately when I connect to my MacBook Pro (and my old 2005 PowerMac G5) it gives me the "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer", and I am not able to verify nor repair it in Disk Utility. It doesn't even show the partitions correctly, it only weirdly enough shows a 3 megabyte partition and 329.70 megabytes of free space.
It still, however, works fine on my Windows computers. I also have the 1TB version of the same Lacie HDD also with two NTFS formatted partitions, and that drive shows up nicely on my MBP.
Does anyone know how/have an idea on how/have a magic potion to fix this?
- I have run chkdisk on it on my Windows comp and it showed no errors.
- I have also tried booting Snow Leopard in 32bit kernel mode (as someone presumably had that help earlier) but with no luck.
- I've connected it both via USB and FW. Same problem.
- I've installed and later uninstalled NTFS-3g and MacFuse - no change.
- And as mentioned I've connected it to my PowerMac G5 (w. Leopard), that also couldn't read it properly.
It is not an option for me to reformat it right now, as I have nowhere to back up that drive (and buying another new external drive is out of the question, as I semi-accidentally spent all my money on the new MBP ).
Anyone helping me solve this issue will receive 10 units of my deepest gratitudes (and maybe a couple of muffins, should the person drop by some time).
Thanks in advance.

Well it seems to work somewhat now, after some playing around.
And here's what I did:
- I downloaded the bootable System Rescue CD
- I booted it up from my PC. And entered the TestDisk utility, where I resaved the partition table (even though it already showed up fine). (If you don't have an extra PC to boot from, the TestDisk utility can also be installed on Mac OS, I just don't have the skills to do that).
- Tadaa! Now I was able to read the disk and its two partitions (one NTFS and one exFAT) on my MacBook! But... When I plugged the external drive into my PC again it didn't show up anything, and in the disk manager, it detected the drive structure as being all unallocated space.
Upon plugging it into my Mac again, it once again showed my old fiend, the "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" error. Sigh.
- So once again I booted up the System Rescue CD and TestDisk, and rewrote the partition structure. One weird thing was, that TestDisk this time detected the disk as being mac formatted, so I had to manually select the "Intel/PC" structure option. After rewriting the structure the disk once again it showed up nicely on my Windows PC.
- Before plugging it back into my Mac, I decided to try and install MacFuse and NTFS-3g.
- Since MacFuse doesn't apparently support the 64-bit kernel mode, I booted up my MBP in forced 32-bit kernel mode and voila - I could now read (and write) to my NTFS disk and connect it to my PC and back, without it messing up again.
I won't mark this issue as solved just yet, as I will need to see if it lasts. Also it's not really a lasting solution to be forced to boot into 32-bit mode, so I'll have to see if there's another way at some point.

Exporting iTunes Music to Ext HDD

Hi all,
I just bought a Seagate 300GB Ext HDD with Firewire.
My intention is to move all songs from iTunes currently in my iMac HDD to the Seagate Ext HDD. Thereafter, I hope to access my iTunes from this ext HDD.
Pse advise on
a. Whether there is a need for me to partition the HDD further as I have partition it into 80GB (for iMac HDD backup) and 320 GB.
b. How to export all somgs in iTunes fron my iMac to the ext HDD
c. What else I need to do?
I am also seeing a few folders in my finder, they are :
a. Music.- Inside this folders, I am having:
- a few other artiste music folders
- a iTunes folder
- gararage band folder containing my own mixes
- music art work for some of the CD covers
- plus a whole list of MP3 music.
b. New Music. - Just MP3 music
I am currently using iTunes Ver 6.0.4(3) and on OS X ver 10.3.9
Looking forward to freeing up space on the iMac.
Thank you
TC

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Good choice getting an external drive. On the iMac partition (80gb), look into using SuperDuper for creating a clone backup. Great app. Another choice would be CarbonCopy Cloner.
The partitions are really up to you. My choice would be to create one partition matching your existing computer HD, a second parition for holding a "bare-bones" copy of OS X (perhaps including Utility apps. and a browser), and the 3re partition for music etc.). Use Disk Utility to create the partitions after plugging in your drive to the computer.
iTunes - best way to move the music is simply drag/drop your music folder (if you want all music on the external), or your iTunes folder (if you only want iTunes related items on the external) to the external drive after partitioning. Remember though, any music you move to the external to "free up space" still leaves you lacking a backup copy. Something to consider, especially regarding music, garage band items etc. you value. Lacking another external source, and not wanting to keep music on your main drive, consider burning your more valuable items to DVD.
Once the music is transfered to the external, go back to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>General>Music folder location and select "change", redirecting iTunes to the new external location.
Post back with results, or any other questions.

Mapping a ext. hdd on mac to a windows 8 pc

I have an external hdd connected to my mac-mini. It is initialized in MS-DOS (FAT32), as I want it to be mapped to my windows 8 machine. What do I need to do on the mac-mini to make this ext. hdd visible to be mapped (I know that is a windows term, not sure what the mac term is), to my windows 8 computer. I am a windows user historically, but moving to the mac side.

Open the Sharing pane of System Preferences, turn on File Sharing, and connect to it from the Windows machine.

Playing movies in front row of an ext hdd

I want to buy a mini as a media centre where i can rip my dvds into however because of the mini small int hdd i wanted to buy a 250gb ext hdd and put the dvds in there but can i somehow move the movies folder to the ext hdd and play the stuff of from there in front row

In addition to this, you can also configure iTunes to NOT copy files when they're added to the library, and just add them from the external disk.
I'm currently using both approaches for different things, and both work well. They also work well for network mounted file systems, for those of us who don't want to leave iTunes running (and accounts logged in) on machines all over the place for Bonjour to work, especially when the file server is an early Power Mac G4 with very little memory.

Add Seagate 2TB External HDD to Oracle VM /OVS

Hello guys,
I have got a empty Seagate 2TB External HDD with NTFS partition And I want to add this as addition storage to my Oracle VM Server in OVS partition.
Also this 2TB USB HDD is solely dedicated to Oracle VM so I am not bothering about Any other operating systems.
To accomplish my this purpose I have gone through so many online forum to convert Seagate ntfs partition to Linux partition. But I couldn't find success.
So Here my questions are :
1) Is it possible to convert USB HDD ntfs partition to Oracle VM Server supported partition that can run VM Machine on it ?
2) If Answer is Yes, then Could you explain me how do I do that ?
Many Thanks
Hemesh

Hi Herbert,
Thanks for your reply,
So it means I have to create OCFS2 file system on external Hard drive.
Thanks
Hemesh.

Broken links with new EXT HDD

My Aperture library sits on a networked EXT HDD called Pictures HD. I decided the drive was getting a little old so swapped it for a new one. I've copied the entire contents over to the new drive, given it exactly the same name (Pictures HD) but when I open Aperture, all my referenced files are showing up as disconnected. I can't see why this should be as the new drive is basically a clone of the old one.
Any ideas what I need to be doing differently?

If you have already, outside of Aperture, copied all of your referenced files to the new HD (and kept your Library on your system HD), don't use "Relocate Masters". That would have been a better way to populate your new HD -- but that is already done. Use "Locate Referenced Files". This command allows you to tell Aperture to, in fact, locate the Masters of the images in the Library. If you copied without alteration the folder structure of the referenced files, you will be able to simply tell Aperture where one of the Masters is on your new HD, and Aperture will find all the others.
Alternatively, you could wipe the new drive clean with a fresh format, then use the "Relocate Masters" command with both the old and the new HDs mounted.
In general, it is recommended that other than back-up you do all file management from within Aperture. Both "Relocate Masters" and "Locate Referenced Files" work well.
