What is the largest hard drive for a Xraid

I want to get some more size out of my existing Xraid. Can I put 7 x 2 gb harddrives into one side of my Xraid

Camelot is quite correct in that 750gb is the limit for PATA drives and officially supported drives in the Xserve RAID. You can get a PATA to SATA adaptor like this one http://www.c3-xtech.com/ or something from StarTech that will fit in the caddy and allow you to go up to 1TB per drive. Thing is although they are great bits of kit the Xserve RAID is long in the tooth now and the cost of doing this might make it a bit uneconomical.
If you do decide to go for anything above 500gb in the RAID you'll need the last firmaware, I think it's 1.51c for the higher capacity drives to be recognised.
Hope that helps

  • What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for MacBook Pro A1278 Early '11

    What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for macbook pro A1278 Early 2011?  I have seen 750GB on some websites, but I would like a 1TB  I am looking for SATA 6.0GB, 1TB 7200.  Is this dependant on the physical size of the hard drive? I have seen a height of 15mm and 9.5 mm.  How do I know what will fit??

    I have not seen any 7200 rpm 1 TB HDDs.  They all are 5400 rpm.  I would say that this HDD comes closest to your requirements.  Tomorrow, there may be others.

  • What's the largest hard drive size my 8600 can support?

    hi all,
    Years ago,I noticed my 8100 Powermac couldn't support larger hard drives than 2GB so I had to partition. Now I have a 8600 Mac with a 4GB hard with no partition. What's the largest hard drive size my PowerMac 8600 can support?

    Here's an 18GB SCSI HD on eBay that says it will work on a PM 8600. http://cgi.ebay.com/18-GB-IBM-SCSI-HARD-DRIVE-Apple-Power-Mac%7CG3%7CG4%7CG5-Wrt y_W0QQitemZ120360935737QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090109?IMSfp=TL090109111005r37358
    You could also install an ATA PCI card and probably go larger.

    What's the best Hard Drive for TM? USB 2.0 or FIrewire 400 or 800?
    Any recommendations would be great. Need about 1TB.

    Same experience here! They keep the price about the same but you get double the storage, so the price of storage has been going down big time! But now I find myself ******* after Drobo Hey, that editor whacked me for "l u s t i n g" that isn't foul language is it?

    What is the max hard drive for a late 2006 xserve?

    Hi Kappy,
    That's not quite true. I don't think anyone has managed to get a 3TB drive working as 3TB on an Xserve yet.. Here is the official compatibility matrix from Apple http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1219
    2TB seems to be the limit. Some people have had success with non Apple drives but it's very hit and miss..
    All the best

  • What is the largest hard drive that can be put in a Macbook Pro 17 MA897

    I am looking to upgrade an existing Macbook Pro 17 model MA897 and am looking for the specifications as to the largest hard drive that can be installed and where is the best place to purchase drives.

    The HDD makers have yet to breach the 1TB limit in the 2.5" formfactor. But there is hope, as one of the makers (Toshiba, IIRC) announced the discovery of a radical new way of magnetic encoding which will permit much denser packing of the magnetic domains in the rotating disk, and much higher capacities. Promised to come out with 3-4TB 2.5" devices before the year is out and maybe 10TB+ in the coming years. We'll have to wait and see.
    BTW and since The Age of the Lion (and probably Mountain Lion too) has forsaken the need of an optical drive for system recovery, some users have decided to remove the no longer critical device and planting another HDD in its place. Might be looking into if you really need the capacity and don't care to lug even more weight above of what the 17" entails.

  • What is the Best Hard Drive for a Powerbook Pismo 200 and best size for sto

    I have a Power book G3 Pismo 2000 which came with a 10 GB Hard Drive. It is almost full and I want to upgrade the Hard drive to a bigger and I do not know the best hard drive and what is the maximum space I will need? Can you recommend size and Manufacture?

    I bought a 80GB Toshiba for my Pismo. It seems to work well. I believe the largest drive that will be fully recognized is a 120GB drive.
    Here's a good place to see your options. Go to this web page at OWC and get a listing of your upgrade options for your Mac model.

  • What is the largest SSD Drive for my MacBook pro 8,2?

    What is the largest solid state drive I can install in my MacBook pro 15" (Version 8,2 - i7 2.3 GHz) with 8GB RAM I currently am running OS X 10.6.8 But I want to upgrade to Mavericks 10.9 and perform a clean install with Mavericks and manually move my files off of my backup.
    The Samsung 1TB  MZ-7TE1TB0BW looks nice but I don't know if it works well with my older MacBook Pro, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this.
    Thanks

    1TB is as large as you'll get. Crucial also makes a nice one, and I can speak for Crucial working well with a machine that's 2 years older than yours.

  • What is the prefered hard drive for Mac Pro 1.1?

    Hello everyone, I want to fill the 4th Mac Pro Raid hard drive. I want to know the best hard drive out there and the maximum capacity I should buy. The computer came with 3 hard drives 750.16 each. Thank you for help!
    Mac OS X/10.6.8/2x3 GHz dual-core Intel Xeon/13 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM

    4TB if you want max size. There is no max and it all depends on what you do.
    Not sure but "pro raid" better not  be Apple RAID controller as that does have limits and problems and not  sure you  use and need RAID5 controller.
    I'd say WD 10K 1TB VelociRaptor as "best in class" outside of SAS
    WD Black 2TB for cost size performance or 4TB new $300 for max
    WD Black line has been used by users and Apple for OEM and 1TB model
    When doing RAID or RAID5 I would use the old drives for backup and replace all four.
    And keep the boost drive on SSD ($100 Samsung 840, or 10K WD VR 250GB)  or 500GB WD VR $139, great little and fast.  Samsung 840 240GB is also gotten affordable-ish. Nice larger boot drive.
    I went with 8x2GB for $130 now from Amazon for FBDIMMs.
    And ATI 5770.

  • What's the largest hard drive the macbook mobo can support?

    its from august 2007 if that makes any difference
    and once i get a new HD is there anyway to clone my hard drive for free?

    I just installed this drive. It will work on yours also.
    Western Digital Scorpio WD3200BEVT 320GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Notebook Hard Drive - OEM
    I also bought a USB enclosure to put my old drive in. No sense wasting a drive. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone it from the external drive onto my newly installed internal drive. If you don't want to buy an enclosure you can use an external drive to do the same thing. I use my old drive from my MacBook for storage space now.

  • What is the largest hard drive I can put into my time capsule?

    I bought my 1TB Time Capsule  in Oct, 2010, Part #MC343AM/A, and it is now just about full. I am looking at options for upgrading it, including a Stardom Safe Capsule with several TB of storage. Ideally I would like a single drive with 3-4TB of storage on it. Can I put a 3TB drive in my Time Capsule as it is? I run Lion on all the Macs at home, although my daughters (who backup when they visit) run Snow Leopard.

    If you google you will find the 3TB does not go well in series 3 TC you listed. Ironically it does seem to work ok in series 1. But as you buy a different drive you really may find it difficult. Normally you can fit the largest drive Apple fitted, if you find one of the ones they used.. eg series 3 will take 2TB. Otherwise look carefully for other people's experience.
    In the end trying to use Stardom is highly NOT recommended. USB storage is slower than acceptable. Connected to the TC usb speeds are half that connected directly to your PC.
    Please read the review for the very latest TC and see carefully the speed to USB.

    For several TB buy a proper NAS.. the TC is not a NAS, it is an external wireless backup device intended particularly for Mac Laptops. Sure it can be used for other things, but in the main .. that is the intended use.
    For several TB buy a proper NAS, QNAP, Synology, etc. which have proper backup and raid designs.. all missing from the TC.
