W510 3Tb hard disk support?

When I connect a 3Tb external HD by USB port, size shows only 746 Gb.
Does the W510 support hard disks bigger than 2Gb?
Bios version 1.37, HD Seagate ST3000DM001, Windows 7 Professional SP1, Intel SATA AHCI controller version 11.2.0.1006.

The problem is not the T510. First, many or most external USB housings do not support 3TB drives. (the limitation is in the USB-> SATA bridge circuit) I will assume yours does. The disk must be initialized using a GPT partition table, not MBR. For native support, you must be using windows7 64-bit or Vista SP1 64-bit. 32-bit operating systems cannot directly use GPT disks.You will need to re-initialize the drive and recreate the partition structure. The MBR structure has pointers too small to address anything beyond 2.2 TB.
Here is a fairly good explanation in wikipedia that is mostly correct:

ZZ7A-GD65 + 3TB Hard Disk Issue

Z77A-GD65 has 3TB Infinity feature that supports 3TB hard disk. However, I am not able to get 3TB hard disk space.
MSI Support gave me a manual on how to handle hard disk above 2.2TB. According to the manual:
1. Go to bios/Boot Configuration and select UEFI Boot Drive BBS Priority
2. Press enter to select UEFI: DVD-ROM as 1st Boot device
3. Select UEFI: DVD-ROM as 1st Boot device
4. Save Exit
5. When installing OS, please make sure that you should see the whole 3TB HDD if you want to have the 3TB HDD set as one whole partition.
Or you can divide partitions if you want according to the size that you need and then start to install Windows 7 64 bits.
However, I am stuck at step 2. Under UEFI Boot Drive BBS Priority, it only has 2 Options ( Built in EFI Shells or Disabled). There is no DVDROM options to choose at all.
My hard drive is WD 3TB Caviar Green. DVD ROM is Asus 24x drw-24b3st.
I bought this MSI Z77A-GD65 because it supports 3TB hard disk. In other manuals, the BIOS itself has the turn on and off feature of 2.2TB Infinity feature. After flashing my BIOS with the latest BIOS available to download which is v10.5, I still can't see the feature function.
Please advise and assist.
On the side note, legal actions can be taken for giving false information to customer on this 3TB Infinity feature which actually doesn't exist in the BIOS?

I'm a bit confused now...
I don't know why, but UEFI cannot see your optical drive. Maybe there's something wrong with your hardware.
But if you want to give it another try, I have 2 more ideas:
- connect your DVD-ROM to diferent SATA port (maybe even unplug the hard drive), and see if you can perform step 2 from your first post (or if the device Fs0 appears after "map -r").
- connect a fat16/fat32 formatted pendrive. If the pendrive is listed after "map -r" you could try to install Windows from pendrive. There are many ways to do that, but I have done this like it's in this tutorial: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/configure-a-usb-flash-drive-to-be-a-windows-7-installation-platform/1446 After you prepare the pendrive, use it with UEFI shell instead of DVD.

Thus MSI 790GX-G70 support a 3TB hard disk?

just a question... im planning on buying a bigger HD.
but looking at some 3TB or even the 2.5TB HDs has issues... done really know if this is board related or what. thanx
Im trying to cover all issues here before I buy a new hard disk.
im running a Win7 64bit
790GX-G65
Phenom II x2 550BE
8gb of corsair vengeance
1tb WD black

Update with the latest bios and see if ther are a "2,2Tb infinity" utility somewhere
But if you don't plan to boot from it, don't worry (+1)

EA6700 USB hard disk support

Does the EA6700 support 3 and 4 TByte drives such as the Seagate STBV3000200 or Seagate STBV4000200 on the USB 3.0 port?
Steve
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you check on the list of tested USB hard drives and printers for the EA6700, the maximum capacity is up to 3TB only. This could mean that the USB port of the router does not support 4TB hard drives. The link is List of tested USB hard drives and printers for the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Router, EA6700.

ELITE 8100 i5 - 3TB HARD DISK

I have an i5 Elite 8100, Windows 7 Professional 64Bit, 4GB RAM 160GB Main HDD.
I was trying to add a WD 3TB as 2nd Drive, however the BIOS show the drive as 810GB and in windows 7 disk management it shows as New Volume 2048GB NTFS & 746.52 Unallocated.
I have the latest BIOS (1.05) and the latest drivers from Intel. Intel Rapid Storage Technology program that I have installed show it as 2.795 GB.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, I just can believe that an i5 PC can't see a 3TB drive.

Is a 3TB hard drive supported on 2009 Airport extreme?

I have a late 2009 Airport extreme and I recently connected my 3TB WD GReen HD to it and I am experiencing problems. It says that its in need of repair but when i connect it to my mac there isnt any issues, Please advise me on the best thing to do.

Quite often restarting is very useful for reextablishing a connection...each component, if you shut all down then startup sequentially, gets a new starting IP address and then is ready to farm out the DHCP addresses to the subsequent components.
Glad it is working for you now.

DV9000 Maximum Hard Disk Size Supported?

I'm searching for a used HP Pavilion DV9000. I need to know the maximum hard disk size the DV9000 series laptops support. To be clear, could I put a 750G or 1TB disk in each bay?
HP's web site isn't helpful. It gives only the "official" numbers at time of release which state it supports up to 240G, 120 in each bay. Those kinds of numbers are almost never an accurate statement of the limitation as I have seen similar "official" numbers for other HP laptops (supposedly limited to 120G or 250G or whatever) that have no problem supporting 640G in the real world.
The size of hard disk a computer supports is usually a function of the main board's chipset and I don't know how to determine the exact chipset or find the chipset's hard disk support capability. Again, HP's web site isn't helpful here either. They may list it has an nVidia chipset; but, they don't mention which nVidia chipset.
To be clear, I don't own a DV9000 yet and I need to know how to find this information maybe with the exact model number. The model series may be DV9000; but, there are dozens of more exacting model numbers on the bottoms of the DV9000 series computers (example: DV9025ea). I don't want to purchase a DV9000 and then find that its limitation really is 120G per bay.

Hard drive size is a limitation of the Bios, not the chipset, this was overcome with the implementation of Large Block Addressing 48bit in modern bios's in 2003
Hp does not state which bios's on older laptops support this or not.
Looking at the production dates of the 9000 series, I would be willing to bet it supports any size hard drive (48bit LBA), since 48bit LBA was introduced in 2003
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_block_addressing
That being said, there could be brand compatibility issues, so be sure to buy the hard drives from a source that has a friendly return policy.
Maybe some one can post that has actually installed a large hard drive in a 9000 series.

Time Capsule Hard Disk Upgrade - how can I move old backup to new HD

Yesterday I bought a new 3TB hard disk to replace the old, internal time capsule 1TB hard disk. Then I placed the old one in a 3.5" USB case and tried to move the TM back-up from the old HD (now usb connected to the mac) to the new (now)-internal HD of the Time Capsule (connected with ethernet to the mac).
I'm using mavericks, and I followed this guide, but something went wrong and the migration stopped during the night, forcing me today to start a new backup from zero.
I deeply googled, looking for a guide that could explain how to complete the upgrade without a glitch, but there are infinite number of guide on how to change hard disk, while a totality of zero guides on how to complete the migration process after upgrading the internal HD.
Has someone succeeded in doing all the process?
System Information:
          • • OSX Version - 10.9.1          • • Type of Mac - MacMini mid-2011
          • • What's being backed-up - 501,74 GB
          • • Backup Location - Time Capsule - WiFi (usually - but Ethernet during migration process) - 2nd generation, Model A1302 1TB (now 3TB).
P.S. Do you have any suggestion for "Impossible to convert __. Installa newer version of iWork." It happens all the time i try to move Backups.backupdb from a USB HD to a new one (yes, I remove the check mark from "Ignore ownership on this volume").

I don't see anything you have done wrong.
The fact that it started to copy the file and you left it running is fine.
Where things go wrong from there is anyones guess.. did the computer just decide to go to sleep?? Have you turned off sleep and any auto shut down. That can affect copying of large files.
Did you verify the sparsebundle.. any error or corruption in the old sparsebundle could prevent it copying.
See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
It could be later firmware which IMHO is just not stable.. I would run no later than 7.6.1 in an old TC.
And of course Mavericks.. it uses an major change of networking protocol.. and so it could just decide in the middle of the night that the TC is no longer there.
forcing me today to start a new backup from zero.
Can I just say.. this is a better idea anyway.
Put the old disk in a draw.. and simply keep it for 6months and if you never need it by then .. you can wipe it and use it for something else. A clean fresh TM backup is far more likely to work properly in case you need to do a recovery especially if you upgrade installed Mavericks.

K7T266 Pro2 v2.0, hard disk 160GB

Hello.
Does anyone know, what is the maximum size of hard disks for the K7T266? According to http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/hdd_support/hdd/spt_hdd_list.php?CHIP=Archives&ID=4, at least 160GB drives are supported, and I would expect (!!! I didn't test it !!!), that 250GB disks will work as well. But I'm going to by a 300GB disk. So the question is: Is such a big hard disk supported at all? And if not, what will happen? Will the board e.g. only support the first 256GB or will the 256GB be substracted from the capacity (thus only making 44GB available to me)? If anyone has tested this already, please tell me.
Regards, Bodo

There are two inter-related areas with regard to drives that exceed this capacity barrier (137Gb). One is the need for 48bit LBA within windows to have partitions greater than this size (ie at least SP1 and possibly updated ATAPI driver version or SP2) and the other is to have a BIOS that is itself able to address a drive of that size.
If you board/bios has 48bit LBA (ie it can handle drives greater than 137Gb) then it can handle HDD sizes as per the following link.

Hope this helps

Internal 3TB Cavier Green WD Hard Disk not detect on mac but detected on Windows (Parallels

I bought a 3TB Cavier Green Western Digital and I have a Astone external 3.5 case. I attached both of this together and hook up USB to my Mac mini. It seems like my Disk Utility doesn't detect my 3TB at all, at first I thought my hard drive has a problem. So I open up Windows 8 on my Mac running Parallels and try it, It works perfectly and detected on Windows via Parallels and apprently it also detected on my Dell Inspiron Laptop. So I don't know what happen to Mac, it seems like Mac OS X doesn't want to detect the 3TB at all. Is there anything I can do?

I can guarantee you that it work seamlessly on Windows with the same enclosure, Windows 8 running Paralles on my Mac and Windows 7 on Dell Inspiron showing me 2794.52GB. I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I already check the System Profiler on my Mac where you click the System Report>USB. It can be detect, but not detail. I will try to run Terminal app in few days and will update you again. I emailed Western Digital. At the moment, this is what they ask me to do.
Please connect your drive onto a working computer with pure Windows environment and perform an "Extended Test" to test your drive for problems using Data Lifeguard Diagnostics for Windows. Kindly go to the link below if you need assistance:
http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=940
Please provide us the screenshot of the test result so we may verify the cause of the issue.
The "Extended Test" is going to take me 53 hours.
Do you think the next update 10.8.3 will help me? Because I read about BootCamp able to support 3TB hard drive.

G41M-P28 support for 3TB hard drives?

Does G41M-P28 mbd supports 3TB hard drives, for example Seagate ST3000DM001. os is WIn7 x64. Thanks!

Quote from: darios on 27-January-13, 07:22:25
Unfortunately I need 3TB as backup drive for 2 x 1,5TB disks
3TB HDD on G41M is gambling.
But what do you mean with "I need 3TB as backup drive for 2 x 1,5TB disks"?
And why don't you use 2 x 2TB if you really need that kind of backup?

You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

It seems like I just missed the interval for the hard disk replacement program. I purchased in March 2009 a 24 inch Intel iMac . How much does it cost to have apple support at an Apple Store replace a hard drive?

My hard drive continually has the floating beach ball and will take massive time to fulfill a request. And then will not boot up...so then I have to do a restore and rebuild hard drive from a past saved time machine version. Works for a little bit...then the floating beachball comes more and more...until it will not boot up again. So then I restore from a previous time machine saved version....and again it works for a day or so ... until it happens again. Now it's happening faster and faster...so I think my hard drive is dying.

Wrong support on hard disk failure?

My iMac had been getting progressively slower (applications would lock up with the spinning wheel for minutes at a time before letting me do anything).
After one such lockup, I hard booted and the iMac didn't come back - just stuck at a grey screen with the spinning wheel.
I rang Apple Support and on a long support call was taken through various checks before the conclusion of hard disk problem was diagnosed. We tried to repair using the disk utility, but that was unsuccessful and given that I had a time machine backup, the advice was to reformat, reload Snow Leopard, re-download and upgrade to Lion and the use Time Machine to restore.
All fine (and I am back up and running now) - but one element of the support advice didn't ring true to me and I ignored it! So I'm asking for opinions on whether I was right to do so.
I was told to use a Time Machine backup from before the slow behaviour started, as by restoring I could restore the disk problem in the files loaded back from the Time Machine backup. This made no sense to me. I had a hard disk failure - sure - and Disk Utility confirmed this. By reformatting the hard disk, I've eliminated the hard disk issue (albeit that having failed once I guess I may get other bad sectors/failures in the future). The files on Time Machine - in whatever state they are in, are just files. By copying them back onto the disk, I can't damage the disk - I may just end up with damaged files. If some of those files were operating system files, then I could end up with problems - but as the operating system was cleanly installed - not from Time Machine - then even this shouldn't be an issue.
Seems to me the only issue I may have is with my own files - restored from TM - if they happened to be on a bad part of the disk and were damaged.
Do you agree? Or am I missing something about being able to create bad areas on a disk by copying bad files?

To add to this - given that I've had no replies, given with perhaps others have faced similar issues without a solutions.
My problem has recurred - the disk failure repeated - again unable to repair the harddisk and having to reformat, reinstall Lion and restore from Time Machine again.
Two points here:
I continue to believe the support information I was given was wrong - and will be talking support again to test this. My harddisk post reformat was fine (disk utility showed no problems), and post restoring from Time Machine the harddisk again was fine. But after a week, the disk has failed again. I don't believe that restoring files can cause this, but think I must have a bad harddisk and that the real answer is to replace the harddisk
I was told (on the original support call) not to use the latest backup - as that might bring back corrupted files that could recreate the disk problem. I ignored this as above as I felt the support was wrong - it making no sense to me that on a good disk, copying bad files could corrupt the disk. However, when you use the migration assistant you do not get an opportunity to choose the date you are copying data from - so there seems to be no way of doing what the support team told me to do - by default I get the very latest backup. Am I missing something?
