What type of drive is in my MBP?
Hi Forum,
Can anyone tell me what type of drive i have in my Spetember 2007 MBP? I have a new drive and need to get an encasement for the old one ot use as external drive.
A quick read tells me a SATA drive. Do i need a SATA case? can this case have both USB and FW if i find such an encasement?
or have i got it wrong?
Hi,
your MacBook Pro has a SATA-connection for the harddisk.
But since you already have the new drive I just hope you got the correct one !
MacSales has some real nice enclosures for the 2.5" harddisk of your MBP with USB and Firewire if you want.

Advance Thanks...Thanks.....
Could you give example for type3 driversI have only ever seen one post about a type 3 driver on this forum.
You can search here for a type 3 driver if you just want a name....

I am using a driver from Oracle to connect my JavaBeans to Oracle through JDBC.
Then as per JDBC API what type of driver I am using (i.e., JDBC-ODBC Bridge, Partly-Java Driver, JDBC-Net pure Java driver or Native-protocol pure Java driver)?
I use the driver provided with Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 Personal Edition. The file is named as classes111.zip. I use the following driver -

Another source of the drivers is the client side Oracle install (maybe server too.) It can be found in the oracle directory under .../jdbc/... -
What type of wireless router w/new MBP C2D??
I have a new 17" C2D MBP on order and I would like to sort out my wireless home network before it arrives...
As I am new to the wireless world, I do not understand what wireless router would work for this new MBP. I have read about it having 802.11g technology, but I have also seen something about N technology... my local computer shop says that they don't have N technology yet, but will soon.
What is this all about? Is 802.11g G technology? What do I get to have wireless internet access with my new MBP at home?If you have the MBP C2D and you would like to get a wireless router. I suggest that you get a 802.11n router, as it works for both 802.11b, 802.11g as well as 802.11n. It is common knowledge by now that the wireless card that is used in the MBP with the C2D is an Atheros AR5008 802.11n. Though it is recognized as an 802.11g in the current OSX 10.4, this wireless card has the possibility of being used at its native state of 802.11n. What does this mean to you? Well, the 802.11n is ~ 650% faster than 802.11g and has about 5X the range of it as well. Though 10.4 does not recognize the card as such, windows vista will (that is if you plan on installing it onto the system) and OSX 10.5 might (I don't if Apple, will support draft N [802.11n] of the new wireless standard, even though they put a wireless card in the system that is a Draft N card). So get a wireless router that uses 802.11n. It'll save you money in the future.
Ok, now I'm done explaining why you should get the 802.11n router. Now, as for those who might say otherwise. If you think the 802.11n draft standard is going to change much from now, until the standard is finalized, then you may or may not be right. But from what my professor explained to me about how the technology works, it probably won't change that much. If I were to explain it to anyone on this board about how the standard works, it would be a hopeless matter unless you have taken classes in state variables or control systems. But I guess there are more than enough resources online to find out about how the Draft N standard works. And that is my 2 cents. -

What kinds of drives can Time Machine backup?
Please notice the absence of the word "to" in the subject. My question is not what kinds of drives Time Machine can write its backup to (a subject that is covered extensively everywhere on the web), but what kinds of drives it can backup, i.e. the data from which drives can be included in the backup.
My Mac mini is a little storage-capacity challenged, so I use an external USB drive for most of my work data. This drive is FAT32 formatted, because I need to access it from a Windows PC as well. I find that this drive (which I do not use to write the TM backup to - that's impossible because TM can not backup to FAT32 drives) is in TM's "Do not backup" list and I can't remove it from there. I suspect this has to do with the FAT32 formatting, but I do not understand why that is (again, it makes perfect sense that the drive TM writes its backup to has certain restrictions on the formatting because of the mechanism that TM uses to create its backups using hard links - to create a backup of certain data, I would expect all TM would need is read-access to that data, which clearly is not a problem for the Mac because I am happily using the FAT32 drive as storage).
So, my question, in a nutshell, on what type of drive does data need to be in order for TM to be able to create a backup of it? Is there a way to get TM to backup the data that resides on my FAT32 disk? Also, I plan to move the data on my FAT32 drive to a network drive. Is there a way to backup data that resides on a network drive with TM? What type of protocol (NFS?) would I need to use to access the data on the network drive? *Again, please, this is not the gazillionth question about where a TM backup can be written to, this is about what data can be backed up by TM.* Thanks in advance for any insight.Why is that? Does it have to do with the fact that TM uses the same notification mechanism for changes on the filesystem that SpotLight does? I guess that if FAT32 won't work, with NFS or something similar I will certainly be out of luck?
That *****, I was looking forward to move the data from my FAT32 external drive to a network drive, reformat it and start using it as a second TM backup volume.
When I reformat the external drive from FAT32 to HFS+ will I then be able to back it up using TM? (I.e., it really is the formatting that is the problem, not the fact that the drive is external)? What about NTFS? (I really want to keep the data in a form accessible by Windows directly, in case I need to run Windows on the Mac).

I tried to export photos from iMac to iPad using a USB flash drive. The photos are on the drive but when I plug it into the iPad, the iPad says the device requires too much power. Any ideas of what type of USB flash drive I should use?
You can transfer photos outside of iTunes. I do it all the time. THat said, i have a 50/50 success rate with them. I'd avoid sandisk and kingston, their bundled software triggers the 'too much power' warning.
I've had mixed luck with lexar, some work, some don't.
I did have good luck with an older 4 gig geek squad one.
Look for drives without software on them, without bright LED lights and I haven't gotten any larger than 4 gig to work, but that may just be me.
For a less troublesome way? h onestly, I use a SD card that I've formatted with the DCIM folder. I've never had one of them trigger the 'too much power' warning. Just make sure they're not SDXC. those don't work. -
what type of hard drive replacement should I use to replace the hard drive on my first generation mac mini model a 1103? G4 1.25 mhz 40 gb hd 1 gb. mem.
You'll need a 2.5" parallel ATA interface hard drive. Most are 5400RPM, forget 7200RPM drives and slower 4200rpm drives. You don't want a serial ATA (SATA) drive, as that has a different connector and won't work.
One source I've used for drives is Newegg, and their parallel ATA hard drives are at http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007605%2060000344 2&IsNodeId=1&name=IDE%20Ultra%20ATA100%20%2f%20ATA-6 . Newegg also has many user comments about the drives. Other sources are OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ (Click on ATA on the left) . Look for at least a 3 year warranty. -
What type of internal drive should I get for my Mac Pro?
I want to buy a large internal hard drive for my Intel Mac Pro.
1. What type do I need to get? What do I need to look for as far as specs?
2. Anyone know what the largest sized one I can put inside it is?
Thanks.Some drives over 2.2TB started using blocks 4K in size instead of the traditional 1/2K sized blocks. That does not sound like a Big Deal, but it changes the Error Correcting Codes needed and means a new data-separation algorithm inside the drive.
For Operating Systems, it means that you want the smallest block to be 4K instead of 1/2K, because allocating blocks on 1/2K bound will give you logical blocks that split across physical blocks, which will be s-l-o-w.
Mac OS designers saw that stuff coming and changed the software to accomodate it. They included it with other changes in GUID partition map, which worked well at 10.4.6 and later. -

Rick,
When you get a chance.... DSLReports is off line: their SQL server decided to take its indexes and access to data. Power. Not enough of the right kind of UPS. Same happened to StorageReview's "Drive Reliability Database" about 8-9 yrs ago.

SSD: Loading CS5 plus other little monsters might matter.
Lots of small I/Os
latency of 1/100th where nanoseconds replace those "long" milliseconds
System: Small and fast.
DLLoyd even goes for short-stroking drives to get and maintain highest I/O
The new 10k VRs hit 200MB/sec - I still use them and still find them useful, long lasting, feel responsive with whatever I ask of them. I know they get criticized and "cost too much"
Just bought a new WD Black and yes it is better than the 2008 model I was using.
600GB 10K $200 vs $150-220 for WD Black. your choice
I can destroy a 7.2k drive, I have brought ever 10K drive back after a simple WD Extended Test in Lifeguard.
I don't really care about $$/GB or I wouldn't have just bought Intel 128GB $149
Database: the pros put the index in memory and page fix (virtual volumes in memory; cache; hold disk drive index in memory). Caching storage has been around for almost 40 yrs.
Today you can use SSDs as front end cache to hold DB indexes and frequent data for web servers and such adn use slower secondary storage.
SSD + SAS + 4TB storage
Separating the system from data: #1 must
Having data on array: been what I use
I put a large photo library on 2 x 10K VRs vs SSD and couldn't tell much difference (SSD is soundless of course) But my WD Blacks make as much noise and run 15*C hotter than those 10K (not what you expect?)
While 10K and 7.2K are in the 140-180MB/sec range, they are in 3.0 to 12.0 ms seeks, not 0.01 ms.
People wonnder why shrink a drive to 2.5" (or why not go down to 1.8".
How long does it take to reposition a disk head? how often? the 10K VR travels on outer tracks at 70 MPH. Really trying to fly off into space.
It uses one step to find the "zip code" and then another DSP to find the "house."
True of any high density perpendicular recording mechanism.
And of course while the Raptor-X tried to find a home with famers, Cheetah buyers, the WD 10K line has more of a home where servers and small form factor drives - and 100s of them - can fit in a rackmount server I imagine.
Anyway.... if SR and DSLReports can drop out of site due to power and hardware failure and loss... we can learn some and hope to protect our own data and investments. -

Hi:
Please enter the product number for your notebook in the applicable box at the link below.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/siteHome?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=228&sw_lang=&product=top
The product # can be found on the same sticker as the serial number.
Then you will be directed to the support and driver page for your PC.
On the lower right side is a Manuals link.
There should be a maintenance and service guide which will tell you what the hard drive part numbers are.
Google one of them and you will have your answer. Sometimes they just state 5,400 RPM hard drive and not much more, but when you google the part number, you normally find out exactly the info you need.
If you have trouble finding the info, please post back with your full model number.

I am working on trying to get LabView to communicate with an Allen-Bradley Compact Logix PLC using the NI Ethernet I/P driver. I am currently getting errors on both system of a CIP Message instruction error and cannot determine if the problem is in the PLC or the NI. At this time we are leaning toward the PLC, thus I was wondering if anyone new what type/setup of message read and write to utilize.
Hello jabcae,
Thank you very much for posting your questions.
I recommend posting to the PLC Manufacture’s forums. They will be able to provide more insight on the PLC code.
I also recommend posting this question to the Industrial Communications forum:
http://forums.ni.com/t5/Industrial-Communications/bd-p/260
That forum is monitored by the developer’s of the EtherNet I/P Toolkit. They will be able to assist with the LabVIEW programming.

Pkrb driver: What types of things should this speed up?
Hi:
I have a Java app that loads XML data into Oracle 8i using the XSU classes. Running outside of Oracle's JVM on an NT, it loads with a certain speed. I have code in there to choose the pkrb drivers when making a connection when applicable. When I use loadjava to load this app into 8i, it runs, but it actually runs a bit SLOWER than running outside (even if using JDK 1.2 outside of Oracle).
I understood that when running in Oracle's JVM, since it was in the SGA, and the pkrb jdbc driver took advantage of that, etc., I should expect a fairly good boost in performance. What types of applications can expect this? Java procedures that deal with manipulating resultsets? It certainly doesn't appear to help table inserts.
Thanks,
Mike
