What is the max GB size of a hard drive in a Presario S4010CL desk top computer

I have replaced the factory hard drive in my Presario S4010CL, and then that hard drive and others several more times. Each time I have gone to a larger capacity drive. I am again at the point of installing a larger capacity hard drive. I want this to be the last drive I put in the computer, but I don't know what the largest drive capacity is that the mother board will operate completely. When I look at spec. sheets all they indicate is that the S4010Cl came with a little 60 GB hard drive, and the spec. sheets don't give any information on the maximum hard drive capacity.

Hi,
As the computer is not a laptop you can use as many hard drives as you have SATA/PATA connectors on the motherboard (make it double on PATA connectors due to the ribbon cables). More drives however, also means a more powerful power supply unit. I suggest to keep one hard drive for an operating system (smaller up to 120GB) for a better performance (as suggested by my colleague) and possible data loss in case of a drive failure. The other bigger one or ones would be for user data (movies, music, whatever). I couldn't find much details about the motherboard or data connections. Is it SATA or IDE?

  • What is the max file size that a Adapter Engine [J2SE] can handle ?

    We are having a scenario where a 4 GB compressed file needs to be sent across without mapping, I'm trying to explore the possible options to tackle this scenario.
    Some of the options, we are considering :
    - Sending a file from one Adapter Engine [J2SE] to another Adapter Engine [J2SE] bypassing PI. Adapter Logs will be monitored. What is the maximum file size that can be then handled assuming a standard installation ?
    - What is the max file size that Adapter Engine [J2SE] can send through PI without mapping?
    Any help with the above options or with any other possible solutions to handle extremely large file transfers will be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    j2se is not a good option here
    if you have 4gb then you need a copy solution
    a) build an proxy that will just copy the file from sender dest to receiver
    b) build an adapter that will do the same as proxy)
    this way processing of this message will be controlled with SAP PI/XI
    it will be as quick as copy & paste of the 4gb file
    I did the a) for one of the flow for 300 mb and it works perfectly

  • What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

    What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

    I agree with teh OWC sggestion above, but why must it be USB powered? I find that far more unreliable, and the low power devices slow.
    I'd frankly get a good external enclosure and buy a bare drive.  But the OWC stuff is quite good - vastly better than some of the majors (WD being aprime example of stuff that's boderline quality and often not compatible)

  • What is the lifespan of a Macbook Notebook Hard Drive, and is it a good idea to replace them more then once?

    In specific, I own a 2007 Macbook Notebook, and it is an Intel Core 2 Duo MB21.00A5.B07. Last year, it became necessary to replace the hard drive, and was informed that the reason for the replacement was that the hard drive had reached the end of its lifespan.
    My question is how long do Macbook notebook hard drives typically last? This also is in the context of frequent use of the notebook.
    Additionally, is it a good idea to replace the hard drive more then once, or will the hard ware on the notebook, after I'm assuming about six or so years, be too out of date to accommodate a second or third hard drive replacement?
    Also, since the replacement was still covered under an applecare plan (it's expired now), the general cost of replacing a Macbook notebook hard drive is not known? What is the cost generally expected of a hard drive replacement? This is in relation to repairs conducted at an applestore location (as opposed to a third party repair center).

    Also, this means that, the settings of a system like Snow Leopard, in addition to all other personal settings from a current hard drive, can be copied to and from an external hard drive?
    Your entire system can be copied to an external HD in bootable form. It's generally referred to as cloning, and there are a number of applications available to assist in the task.
    SuperDuper
    CarbonCopyCloner
    LaCie Silverkeeper
    To name but three.
    Furthermore, once cloned, should you have to replace the internal drive, it's easy to boot from the external and clone the system back to the internal.

    If so, do you know where one can purchase an external hard drive and a replacement hard drive?
    As I don't live in the US, it's difficult for me to reccommend retailers, but any computer store (including Apple) can supply external HDs. Be aware that not all HDs from some manufacturers will play well with Macs; Western Digital I believe needs careful selection of the correct model. There are plenty of contributors who can no doubt help on that front. Personally I use LaCie and Iomega. Note that these are purpose built externals and come with their own enclosure and all cables reqd.
    One thing you will need to do with most of them is to use Disk Utility to partiton them correctly (GUID system for Intel Macs) and set the file system to Mac Extended (journaled) before cloning.

    There is one last question. Say I've replaced the hard drive on the same computer for nine years or so. Despite the hard drive being new, would the hardware of the computer be too out of date to accept an up to date replacement hard drive?
    The hardware of the computer dictates what sort of internal drive you buy; earlier models used IDE interfaces, current models use SATA and these are not interchangable. However System Profiler will tell you what sort you have. It's still possible to buy compatible HDs for the early iMacs, c. 1998/99 so there's no reason to believe your model will suddenly become defunct.

    HP uses different brands to fit the need for the SATA hard disk, so there is no specific brand that I can state. Why don't you use the hard disk test that is present in the BIOS?

  • I want to create a movie in iMovie 10 and watch in on Apple TV. What is the best work flow to save hard drive space?

    I want to create a movie in iMovie 10 and watch in on Apple TV. What is the best work flow to save hard drive space?

    Jim,
    Thanks for the advice. I have avoided iMovie Theater because that would soon use all of my free iCloud allowance (although that could be an option). I have been sharing to iTunes at 720p thinking that my picture using Apple TV would be better than Large. I see now that I could use about 30% less hard drive space by using Large instead. Do you think I will experience an annoying difference in picture quality?

  • What is the best way to upgrade a hard drive on my macbook?

    How do I get the information on my current internal hard-drive onto another internal hard-drive?
    Thanks in advance for any and all information.

    You can use SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner to accomplish that.
    You'd need an external disk or mount your old internal in an enclosure.

  • Doing Buffered Event count by using Count Buffered Edges.vi, what is the max buffer size allowed?

    I'm currently using Count Buffered Edges.vi to do Buffered Event count with the following settings,
    Source : Internal timebase, 100Khz, 10usec for each count
    gate : use the function generator to send in a 50Hz signal(for testing purpose only). Period of 0.02sec
    the max internal buffer size that i can allocate is only about 100~300. Whenever i change both the internal buffer size and counts to read to a higher value, this vi don't seem to function well. I need to have a buffer size of at least 2000.
    1. is it possible to have a buffer size of 2000? what is the problem causing the wrong counter value?
    2. also note that the size of max internal buffer varies w
    ith the frequency of signal sent to the gate, why is this so? eg: buffer size get smaller as frequency decrease.
    3. i'll get funny response and counter value when both the internal buffer size and counts to read are not set to the same. Why is this so? is it a must to set both value the same?
    thks and best regards
    lyn

    Hi,
    I have tried the same example, and used a 100Hz signal on the gate. I increased the buffer size to 2000 and I did not get any errors. The buffer size does not get smaller when increasing the frequency of the gate signal; simply, the number of counts gets smaller when the gate frequency becomes larger. The buffer size must be able to contain the number of counts you want to read, otherwise, the VI might not function correctly.

  • What is the best way to manage my hard drive?

    Background - I have a 13" MacBook Pro with 250GB hard drive and recently I have had to delete or migrate files to external HDs to gain space. I spent last night doing just that. I also have two EHDs - a 2TB My Passport and a 3TB Seagate GoFlex Home WiFi capable. I do my backups to the SeaGate using Time Machine. My issue is that I currently only have about 38 GB available on the hard drive after making the moves last night.
    I'll call this what it is - an ugly baby. In order to make room, I moved files to one or both EHDs so now I have multiple copies of my stuff but no organization. So a couple of questions...
    1. How can I effectively and efficiently get my internal hard drive down to only about 100GB be used? What I would like to do is reduce the files and folders on my mac to the pictures and basic document files in my documents folder. I think I can do this by moving all music to an EHD which would free up more than 100GB on my macbook. I just am not sure how to do this and not affect my iPhone's iTunes etc.
    2. I want to back up my info to a cloud, specifically pictures and important docs... I would be introducing a third way to get disorganized. What do I need to do to stay ahead of the curve.
    Thanks in advance...

    Upgrade your MBP's internal boot drive to something larger, 250GB just doesn't cut it.
    A 2010 machine, I wouldn't bother with the expense of a SSD, a 7,200 750GB or 1TB should do nicely and you can install it yourself or have a local geek do it.
    You might as well max the RAM too, if your in AppleCare it won't violate it as long as nothing is broken.
    Carbon Copy Cloner is the preferred method to clone your entire OS X + Recovery HD partition (no BootCamp, use WinClone 3 for that) to a external GUID OS X ext J drive, hold the option key and boot from the clone, then reverse clone onto the new internal drive.
    OtherWorld computing, MacMall and Crucial.com are recommended for compatibility, videos and what not.

    don't forget to clean the cooling fins behind the fans, they get clogged with dust and overheat the machine.

  • 845E - What is the best way to clone a Hard Drive.

    I have a very noisy WD drive (drive A).  I purchased another drive - the exact same model and size (drive B).  
    What is the best was to move the entire contents from drive A to drive B, make drive B bootable and then to send the drive A back to the manufacturer?

    Very powerful, does the job every time.

  • What's the largest capacity bus-powered external hard drive?

    I realize that this isn't a Mac specific question, but I'd really like a recommendation. What's the largest capacity bus-powered (preferably USB) external hard drive available. My new MBP has a 500GB drive so I would need something with probably 640GB or bigger. Problem is I can't find anything over 500GB that's bus-powered. Everything I've found requires an external power supply which is what I'm trying to avoid. If anyone has a recommendation, please share it.

    Have a search on the web for USA retailers who supply empty enclosures and drives separately. The enclosure is the physical case and the bits of circuitry and the physical ports. Tell them what you want and ask him what drives and enclosures he has to suit your purpose and if he can fit the two together for you. I have such a supplier but am in UK.
    Does it have to be a USB bus? Firewire is better and gives more power. One way I power a 360GB pocket drive is to feed from TWO USB ports on the computer into one input port on the drive(now in the enclosure) you should be able to buy a sort of "Y" shaped cable with two full size flat USB connectors at one end and one single connector at the drive end. The drive end often will be a mini usb port. What you want will depend upon the size of the input into the drive.

  • What are the things required to upgrade internal hard drive For Macbook Pro mid 2012 13 inch?

    Hi,
    I want to upgrade my internal drive but I don't know how to do that. I have already purchased a WD 1TB internal hard drive. However, I contacted apple support and they said if I try to upgrade the hdd myself, then the warranty of the macbook would be void. I am from India . I currently have a Macbook Pro mid 2012,13 inch.
    Also, do i need to download a setup of Yosemite before changing the hdd?
    Please guide me
    Thanks and Regards
    Abhineet Arora

    You know what the impact will be on the warranty terms.  If you want to install it yourself, look at this video:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_unibody_mid12_hd/
    It is not very difficult.  You will need a #00 Phillips and a #6 Torx drivers.

  • Why is there a 5 computer limit fo synching with Itunes? What if the other 5 computers have crashed.hard drive dead how do I sync with a new computer if I can't "de-authorise" old computer??

    I have a few (8) computers with some having died of old age and hardiac failure with itunes loaded and synced with my devices. Need to sync current content but cannot "authorise" another more youthful computer without access to the old dearly departed computers. What gives- was this scenario not foreseen. is there no other way to de-authorise a computer but to perform a resurrection of the dead?

    Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article.
