Whats the Maximum internal Drive you can get and how fast

Well the subject says it all
I'm looking for the biggest and where do i get them?
and is it safe to run OSX on it ?
thanks guys
I got so many externals and i'm looking to even get 2x500GB for internal if its possible and if its safe
thanks

i've got two 300GB raid and mirrored as well
so i get enough power but since its raid it takes a lot of memory
performance is not much of a problem anymore, just need more space
2x500GB internal is my dreams
1 for OSX and any any other sounds that requires to stay on the same drive
then i'll the other for recordings and other samples that needs to be off the main drive
and i'll use the rest of my externals for backups and other important things
harddrive is cheap this days so i'm looking to make the most out of my system for the future
as i'm not planing on getting the intel mac anytime soon so i'm preparing this mac and my other mac as a node to last atleast the next 3-years
so more space is whats important now

The largest 2.5" SATA HDDs of 9.5 mm thickness that I am aware of are 1 TB in capacity. There is a 12.5 mm thick HDD that will fit some MBPs. But I have not seen any of larger capacity.
Are there now 2 TB HDDs available for MBPs? If so, I am interested.
Ciao.
Both OWC and Crucial have SSDs of about 1 TB capacity.

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.

Depends upon the format of the video. See:

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

I've got MacBook Pro 17' with 750gb HDD, need to upgrade the HDD to 2 or more TB. What is the biggest HDD I can fit my MacBook Pro?
How do I go about cloning my current HDD onto the NEW HDD.
Thanks.

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.
To buy a hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/

Whats the Maximum Ram my macbook can take?

Hi I have A macbook pro 1.83 GHZ (yonah)
Can it go further than the 2GB specified by apple?
Many thanks
If not what causes it not to?

If it's a Core Duo model then 2 GBs is the maximum. If it's a Core 2 Duo model then you can install up to 4 GBs, but only 3 GBs will be available to the system (a limitation of the memory controller on the motherboard.)

Whats the best external drive setup for FCP and accompanying software?

With all the external Hard Drives out there I am hoping that other users could suggest the best options when setting up FCP to work with an external drive. I am working with both SD and HD and am planning to use DVD Studio, Soundtrack Pro along with Motion and AE.
With all the info out there claiming to be the 'best' it gets a little confusing. I bought a 2T WD HD with Firewire 400, 800 and eSATA connections. With the amount of footage I have to capture this wont last long. And the intention is to archive this footage and making it easy to access in a year or two.
Which is best type of connection? Firewire 800 or eSata? Any Suggestions as to a really good external hard drive set up that I can add to as finances allow?

Not quite sure what this question has to do with Qmaster, but what the heck.
The simple response is get the fastest and biggest external you can. If you are getting a drive mechanism without swappable disks, purchase 2 mechanisms - 1 for use when editing and the second for backing up. Purchase a 3rd drive to back up your system drive.
If you go the swapable drive bay route, you'll pay more for the mechanism but you'll recoup the cost as you can purchase additional bare drives for a fraction of the cost of another whole mechanism.
The fastest connection speed is esata then FW800 then FW400. USB is not appropriate to editing video (but can be used for simple backups).
If you have the resources, something like a Caldigit HDOne is a high performer. If that's out of your range, look into their VR line or something from MacBurley. Granite Digitial also makes good basic devices.
Have fun.

IHow do I know what the bit details are on an image and how to change it?

I wanted to send some wildlife images to a magazine who required us to send quality size 10
saved at 300dpi and then to send a copy of the same images at 72dpi and 8bit NOT 16bit.
I have no idea what they are requesting so please:-
1) How do I discover the details of my photograhs ie resolution 300dpi or 72dpi and how do I change it.
2) How do I discover the bit on images and again how do I change it as requested by the magazine.
Please please keep it simple as I am getting on a bit (pardon the pun) and do not understand computers.
Photoshop Elements 8 seems so complicated
Thank you for any help.
Brian Holland

Hi Barbara,
Firstly I hope you had a great Christmas and I wish you a happy and healthy
new year.
I have been experimenting with colour changes in my Photoshop Elements 8 and
am encouraged having changed the colour of my car in the image.
I now would like to know how I change images that are black i.e. a crow in a
photograph or change the white in a photograph i.e. a swan.
I have looked at the Adjust Hue and Saturation and then the 'Master' but
there does not seem to be a facility to change black and white.
Also confused by Magenta and Cyan what colours do they represent please
should I ever need to use them?.
Thank you again for your help.
Brian.
PS Have also been experimenting with text and shapes and can now alter the
colours of each and with text vary the font, colour, and style. Progress for
an old chap of seventy three.

What is the biggest hard drive I can place in my mac book pro?

I have a late 2011 mac book pro 15". I need a bigger hard drive in the laptop because this one is just way too small. What is the biggest hard drive i can put in the laptop. I'm asking this because i can't find any real info on types of hard drives i can get and what not.

If you're going to trust your internal drive up to 1TB, which is indeed possible, I would recommend buying a backup drive of 2-3TBs. Personally, I'd rather have a 512GB SSD with a 2TB backup and a 2TB 'working' external than try to cram 1TB into my portable computer...
...that's just me...
