what the largest size hard drive you can install in your MacBook 2010 and does it matter of its a Mac hard drive are not

You could theoretically upgrade to a 1TB HDD and brand really doesn't matter as long as it's a 2.5" SATA HDD.  However I would probably shoot for a 500GB or 750GB.  If you want some performance increase as well go for a 7200RPM drive, but just know that you will lose some of your battery life as well.  If that's a trade-off you don't really care about then go for the 7200RPM drive.

    Yesterday, I tried a SEAGATE SSHD but my screen was always a showing a QUESTION MARK (?). It's not the cable because when I put back the old original version, everything works...Any sugestion of brabnding or procédure to upgrade my hard drive?

    The largest 2.5" dia SATA drives available are 2 TB in capacity.
    Have you tried the Seagate SSHD connected externally to the MBP via USB?  The drive itself may be faulty.

  • What's the maximum size a varchar2  variable can hold for and NDS Stmnt?

    What's the maximum size a varchar2 variable can hold for and NDS Statement? I read that NDS is good for doing EXECUTE IMMEDIATE on statements that aren't too big. The 10g PL/SQL manual recommends using DBMS_SQL for statements that are too large, but it never gave a limit for what too large was. Does anyone know offhand?

    The limit is the same as the length of varchar2 variable within PL/SQL - that is varchar2(32767).It's not documented, but intermediate concatenation result can hold up to (64k-1) :
    Connected to:
    Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.8.0 - Production
    declare
      part1 varchar2(32767) := rpad('begin null;', 32767);
      part2 varchar2(32767) := lpad('end;',        32767);

  • HT1338 hi what is the high os x version I can install on macbook build on 2007 with 2.16gh cpu and 120 gb harddisk

    Hi
    what is the high os x version I can install on macbook build on 2007 with 2.16gh cpu and 120 gb harddisk.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    (NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    or Mountain Lion:

  • What is the maximum amount of RAM I can install in a late 2011 Macbook Pro 17"?

    What is the maximum amount of RAM I can install and will be suported in a late 2011 Macbook Pro 17"?

    Although Apple states a maximum of 8 GB, OWC (macsales.com) has tested 16 GB, so if you want to install 16 GB, I'd go with OWC as they tested it and do guarantee their RAM to work with Macs.

    You stumbled on a Mac Tower forum, not notebooks.
    If you are running 10.6.8 then you must have bought it 3-4 yrs ago?
    Might want to check the specs and then look at various programs and their requirements as to whether Final Cut Express and ah, you want to import media to an app, not "upload."

  • What is the max size of HDD I can use in my dc7600 CMT

    I am using an HP dc7600 CMT which is working fine after upgrading to a Samsung 128GB SSD, Intel Pentium D 3.4 GHz, 4GB RAM, and an AMD Radeon HD 6450. I am running Win 8.1 Pro x64, with the most recent upgrade, and have absolutely no problems. I now want to add a second internal HDD, and wonder what is the max size  I can go to. Can I go to 2TB, or am I limited to a lower figure? 1TB? 500GB? 250GB?
    Will be glad for some help here, especially if it has been actually tried in practice.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    You're very welcome.
    Yes, they are very nice machines. 
    What a jump in performance when I swapped out the Pentium 4 620 mine had, for the PD 945, and tossed in 4 GB of memory.
    That box will also run the Radeon HD 6570 with no problem too, which is what I put in mine.
    The downside of that model is that there are no settings for ahci or raid.
    I own or have owned every CMT since the d510 with the exception of the dc7900.
    My main PC is now the 8200 Elite CMT which I installed W8.1 on.
    It has an i7-2600 processor and 32 GB of memory, 1 TB SATA III hard drive.
    I threw in a Radeon HD 6670 in that one.
    Best Regards,
    Paul

  • What are the largest sized memory cards that can be swapped into a macmini 2.6GHz i7 quadcore

    What are the largest sized replacement memory cards that can be used in a new macmini 2.6MHz i7 quad core? I see samsung has some 16GB cards and was wondering if the macmini can be jacked up to 32GB instead of the apple store configuration of 2x8GB or 16GB total.

    I called Apple Support cause I just purchased my Macmini and found out that it is a memory stick slot issue of some sort. If there were 4 slots instead of two, then you could have 32GB of memory. So it appears to be a board layout issue when apple layed out the processor board they did not allow for enough address bus width for the memory slots cause the intel processor chip will support up to 32GB of memory. Apparently others have tried to put 2x16GB into macminis and have all been unsuccessful thus far. I guess someone could go in and whitewire their processor board but that would be insanely over the top. :-)

  • What's the Biggest Hard Drive You Can Fit in a Macbook Pro?

    The GB don't matter. All that matters is the physical size. It can't be higher than 9.5mm. The largest 9.5mm hard drive so far is 750gb.

  • What is the SMALLEST SGA for 10g you can have on Windows OS?

    Hi all,
    We are setting up a server that will be used for some DBA classes. Each student will get their own database instance to play with. For this reason, we want to try and create the SGA's with the SMALLEST possible amount of memory, so that we can put as many instances as possible on the server.
    So far, the smallest we've been able to get them is down to about 68 Megs. If the SGA_TARGET is set to anything smaller than that, we get the "ORA-04030 out of process memory" error.
    I've often read about tricks in Windows to make your SGA bigger, does anyone know how to do the opposite?

    If you eliminate the Java, Large and Streams pools, you should be able to go a bit lower. However, tha means you can not use those features.
    Remember that the smallest size is dependant on the definition of granule - in your case it'll be multiples of 4M.
    It's been a while since I played with this area, but it seem to me the smallest I managed was around 56M. I also remember having discussion with someone who achieved around the 56-64M size by unloading Java ... all he needed was pure SQL for OiD.

  • What is the largest pdf file that iBooks can read?

    Thanks

    You may have too many apps open which doesn't leave enough RAM to open.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
