    what Internal hard drive can I use to upgrade my macbook pro 2010

  • What size Hard Drive can I put in my iBook?

    Hello all,
    I have a 12 inch 800 MHz iBook. The 30GB internal drive failed on me a couple days ago. Good thing for external drives:). Anywho, I'm just wondering what the biggest size drive I can get for a replacement?
    Thanks for any and all help,
    Dan

    I just upgraded my iBook today with a Samsung 120gb(111gb formatted), 5400rpm Hard Drive. So far it runs smoothly and zips a little faster than the factory 40gb. It took me time and patience but it can be done, I also bought a Panasonic DVD burner, with patchburn(free software online) it works great too.

  • What internal hard drive can i use to upgrade the one i have in my 13" MacBook Pro mid 2010 model?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2010 model machine. Love it to bits but i want more applications, more documents, more music and more iPad apps backed up, problem is I am running out of space. I want to update the hard drive inside my computer, so is this possible and what hard drive is recommended? Any help is greatly appreciated

    Any 2.5" HDD will do the trick. Your computer will run up to SATA II (3Gbps).
    But I would suggest perhaps getting a Data Doubler + swapping your DVD Drive for another HDD, so you have 2 internal HDD's?

  • What size hard drive can I fit to 20-inch iMac  (MA876LL)

    Hi,
    I want to upgrade the hard drive in an iMac, it has 250 GB today, ideally wouldlike 500 GB.

    Any 3.5" SATA drive should be ok.  Just be careful of the sensor cable attached to the drive.

  • What size hard drive does it take to back up a mac book

    What size hard drive does it take to back up a mac book pro?

    The bare minimum would be one equal to the total used storage space on your MBP's hard drive.
    However, that is the technical minimum and not an optimal estimate.  Optimally, if using Time Machine, you should look for a hard drive that is 2-3 times (or larger) than your internal hard drive - that gives you space to grow your backup archive, and to be able to go back in time a fair bit if need be to restore something since TM keeps a database of incremental backups over time (TM will only purge an older archive if the drive fills up and it needs space for the current incremental backup).
    If you are cloning your system, then you should buy an external drive equal to (or larger, if you cannot match exactly) the size of your internal drive.  A full system clone will never be bigger than your internal drive is, so there is no need to have a much larger drive for the clone.

    Hi:
    You would be safe with an 80 GB 5,400 RPM IDE hard drive.
    Definitely, don't go more than 120 GB.

  • I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

    I would like to know if you have to back up a macbook hard drive, can I use a external hard drive that has been previously used to back up several pc 's, or is it best to have a separate external drive for the Mac?

    In the Mac side of things, backups usually come in two flavors: clones or incrementals.
    A bootable clone is a bit-for-bit copy of all essential files in the startup volume. If using the Lions, clones can be made using CarbonCopyCloner or just plain old Disk Utility. These backups represent the safest protection of your info, but take the longest to do. Recovery is an inverse process: you copy the clone back into the internal drive.
    Incremental backups start with a complete backup of the startup volume and only copy whatever changed from the previous run. OS X includes the fully integrated Time Machine backup utility to do this. It is extremely easy to do and takes the least amount of time. Recovery is another matter altogether since you have to start with a freshly installed instance of the OS and have to apply all intervening backups to bring the result to the latest saved version.
    As for where the backup takes place, the recommended media is an external dedicated drive or drives connected via the fastest interface available on your Mac: Thunderbolt, USB3, Firewire, or USB2. Network-based backups, wired or wireless, are attractive but may not offer the same performance and hence take longer. Also important to note that the entire drive need not be completely dedicated to a single backup. The Mac's EFI firmware infrastructure allows for an unlimited number of partitions on a hard drive and each can be used for either type of backups.
    Holler if you need specifics on how to do each. This was just an executive summary.

  • What external Hard drive should I use for Final Cut Pro?

    Hi:
    I have a Mac Pro and I'm planning to work with HD. What external hard drive should I use?
    PD: I have a NVIDIA on a PCI Express graphic slot.
    Thanks,

    You'll need to be much more specific; there are 20 or 60 different kinds of high definition. Some require nothing, some require superfast RAID, some require specialized hardware support.

    You want system, data, backup etc. Make good use of the four internal drive bays.
    You will have to use Disk Utility to ERASE or click on drive and use PARTITION to make it Mac writeable.

  • Do I need a new hard drive & can I use Leopard?

    I have a PowerBook G4 17" 1.5Ghz with OS X 10.3.9 on the original 80GB hard drive, I've been getting a lot of problems with the computer acting very slowly and getting 'hung up' with the color wheel spinning endlessly, during which nothing responds, I can't force quit, the only thing I can do is force a shut by holding down the power key. Sometimes it takes a long time to start up. I've tried re-installing the OS but still the same problems. I ran the Apple Hardware Test which gave this error code "2STF/4/3:ATA-100 ata-6-MASTER".
    Does this all mean that my hard drive is going down and I need a new one?
    Can I use any size hard drive e.g. a 250GB one?
    Also - If I put a new hard drive in can I then install Leopard?
    All info received with many thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    That code means there are problems with your hard drive. If you look at Disk utility (on your hard disk in applications/utilities) you may see that the S.M.A.R.T. status shows a problem. Or if you have SMARTreporter installed, it may not be green.
    You can certainly use up to a 160GB hard drive. There was a discussion recently suggesting a BIOS (basic input output services) limit to 160GB ... I don't know if that's real or not.
    If you do replace your hard drive, you might consider the slight price premium for a 7200rpm drive. You'll appreciate the extra snapiness in response time. And yes, you can install Leopard on it. After installing the new hard drive, boot from the DVD drive and use disk utility to format the hard drive in mac os extended (journaled) format. Then you can install Leopard.

  • What Hard Drive Can I use?

    Ok stupid question time. I want to get a firewire enclosure and put 3.5 hard drive in it for my mac mini. Can I buy any old hard drive and jam it into the box or do I have to buya hard drive that is specific for the Mac? I mean are hard drives mac or pc specific or are the just hard drives and formatted to the pc or mac when you buy them? I am sorry for the dumb question but I have been a PC user for years and am pretty new to the Mac world (only 1 year so far). Thanks for the reponse.

    Just curious what should I be looking for with
    regards to the enclosure? I mean is the Vantec
    Nextstar 355 the only one I can use? I was hoping to
    find one a little cheaper than $69.
    I'm new to Mac as well. I've only had mine about 2 months. As far as HDD Exclosures, you should be able to find an enclosure for less than $69. A couple things to look out for when buying an enclosure is to look at the drive size capability. I've seen enclosures that at in the $30 price, but some stop at the 200Gb size range, where the ones in the $70 range, will support the larger drives like 500Gb. Now, this isn't always the case, as I have seen some expencive enclosures that don't support beyond 200Gb drives.
    Now, if you decide to buy the enclosure, and drive as seperate pieces, you're drive will most likely not be partitioned, or formatted, as this is normally the case with boxed Western Digital, Maxtor, etc... So you'd need to take care of that with the Drive Utility that's part of your Mac after it's in the enclosure and connected to the Mac.
    As a side note, I was down at my local CompUSA and they had a 160 Gb External LaCie Firewire drive at $139.00. This was a better buy for me, as I didn't need to buy the components, didn't need to put them together, and was less money than buying a 160Gb drive and enclosure. The LaCie drive was formatted FAT32, which I quicly changed to the Mac Journaled File System.

  • What type of internal hard drive can I use for my Macbook pro?

    HI,
    My macbook pro stopped working and I took it to Apple store to find out what was wrong with it. I have been told that the hard disk i snot working anymore.
    Since I cannot afford to pay Apple's fees, I was told that I can order it online and pput the disk myself.
    Can anyone please tell me what do I need to focus on when buying a hard disk and what would be the best hard disk for my macbook pro.
    Thank you

    A MacBook Pro uses a 2'5" SATA hard drive, so any hard drive with these specs should work. We recommend HGST and Seagate drives, but Western Digital drives also work correctly. Have a look at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
    7200 rpm HDDs will give you extra performance. They are not very expensive

  • How can I tell what size hard drive I have in my macbook

    Just seeing if there's any value (doubtful) to this old computer I have.  I'm sure it's easy enough to find but it's not matching what the prompts are for hard drive size, e.g. 120gb, 128gb, etc.  Gazelle is having a promo asking for this info.
    Oh, and my battery doesn't keep a charge so I have to keep it plugged in to work.  The kids use it for their school computer but since I have a MacBook Pro I should probably just let them use mine, as a guest user.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Single click on the hard drive image in the upper right corner (usually called Macintosh HD).  Then right-click and pull down to Get Info.
    BTW, What model MB is it?
