Which HDD enclosure will be compatible?

Hi,
I'm looking for a USB 2.0 or FW 2.5" enclosure for my 9.5mm drive that came with my MacBook Pro. I want one which includes a power supply for the mains and is compatible with 12.5mm drives also. Can anyone recommend one to me in the UK that will work with my Mac?

It is expensive, but it's a top-rated, top-quality enclosure and includes all the features you're looking for. It doesn't sound as though a dual 3.5" RAID/JBOD setup would answer your need.
You could step down to the USB-only version, but for that you'd definitely want to buy an AC adapter, a dual-USB cable, or a powered USB hub to be sure of getting enough power to the drive.

Or you could head for the middle ground with the USB2/FW400 version, for which you wouldn't need an AC adapter if connecting through FW:

In both cases you'd still need the little 12.5mm mounting kit.

    Hi, I am planning to buy an MBA with 256 GB flash storage. I was wondering if external hdd's will be compatible with it?

    Yes, any HDD will work, but as stated above, you should probably go for a more portable unit.  My personal preference is for units that are powered by the USB or Thunderbolt connection, so I don't have to worry about a power cord.
    I'm using a G-Tech 500GB Slim Drive for $90.  They also make a 1 TB model for $150.

    It's about the size of a paperback book, and the thickness of an iPhone.  Great for travel if you want to back up photos!  Team it up with a 12 inch USB cord and you'll be set.

  • Which HDD is compatible with HP 120W Advanced Docking station (NZ222AA)

    Please tell me which HDD is compatible with integrated SATA upgrade bay of the HP 120W Advanced Docking Station (NZ222AA).. I can't find the info neither in user's manual nor at HP site. Thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Please check this:
    While neither station can be upgraded, both feature an upgrade bay that allows you to install an extra hard drive. If you choose to install the extra drive, you will add additional gigabytes to your current laptop storage space. However, if you choose to take advantage of the extra space, a standard hard drive will not fit in the upgrade bay. HP offers a 500GB hard drive specifically designed for the upgrade bay on the 120W and 230W; you would need to order the upgrade hard drive through HP.

  • Which hdds are compatible with hp pavilion dv6700t cto entertainment notebook pc (out of warranty)

    I recently purchased a Seagate momentus as replacement http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148591 thinking it would be compatible but when i tried to replace
    the connections(interface) was not compatible with the laptop. Is there an adapter to resolve this problem?
    if not which hdds are compatible?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    If you have the original HDD, check that there is not a black plastic adapter that you can pull off the old drive and fit to the new one.

  • I have ip 3gs and ios 4.1 i want to upgrade it to download latest version of apps ,which ios will be compatible and is there any danger to update ios before i erased all settings and content and i tried to update but it failed .it is working properly

    i have ip 3gs and ios 4.1 i want to upgrade it to download latest version of apps ,which ios will be compatible and is there any danger to update ios before i erased all settings and content and i tried to update but it failed .it is working properly but i want to update from itunes.iwill do back up but is there any other thing i will face after updating like it will jut show apple loge and will not work. please answer quickly

    An iPhone 3GS is too old to update to the very latest iOS and you will never be able to use apps that are compatible.  The phone is just too old now in technology terms and the app makers have all moved on, so it's time to get a new phone. 
    Ideally, perhaps get an iPhone 4s or if you can afford it, an iPhone 5s or 5c which are the newest models.

  • Which HD camcorder will be best compatible with macbook pro?

    Which HD Camcrder will be best copm with Macbook Pro?

    There are scores of them on the market at any given time that will work just fine with the MBP. The list changes every week as models are introduced and discontinued. No one has tried enough of them to have any idea which is "most compatible," and since prices range from under $100 into the thousands and you've told us nothing about how much you hope to spend or what features you want, no one can answer your question.

  • Can I mount my external hard drive which will be compatible with both Mac and Windows?

    Hello,
    Can I mount my external hard drive which will be compatible with both Mac and Windows? If yes, then please let me know, because I intend to use my hard drive for both Windows and Mac, without losing any file.

    Yes. By default, Mac OS X and Windows can read and write drives which are formatted as FAT32 or exFAT; NTFS drives aren't writable from Mac OS X without additional software.

  • Upgraded to Mavericks. Now External HDD Enclosure Won't Mount. Is there a fix?

    Upgraded to Mavericks.  Now I can't get my external HDD enclosure to mount.  A little about this enclosure, as it's not the usual settup .  I have four 3TB HDDs in a RAID5 settup.  The most unique part is that they are formatted as a Windows NT Filesystem (Tuxera NTFS).  Basically, when I set this up, I had to get a lot of info from a Windows-formatted HDD, but also be able to read/write afterwards. It's worked fine for ~ 1 year, but now that I've upgraded to Mavericks, nothing will mount.  I ran Disk Utility, where I see the HDDs (I've partitioned them into four drives of varying sizes), but they are greyed out.  I tried to mount them, but it says it won't and that I should run First Aid.  So I did...tried to "Repair Disk," but it just gets stuck on "Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required."  For over an hour it's been on that message.
    So, does anybody out there have a fix?  I've read several similar posts about people having a hard time mounting and, overall, dealing with external HDDs after upgrading to Mavericks.  But nothing seemed to fit my exact circumstances.  Lastly, I should mention that I've used both Firewire and USB connections.  Both resulted in the same.
    Thanks.

    I can't help with specifics for your issue, but some general thoughts:
    The upgrade and the disk problem may be a coincidence. It would help you if you could verify that the drive still works fine on a windows machine. If you run a windows virtual machine or have a windows pc, or a friend does, verify full functioning that way. If it still won't mount on the mac, try to copy/backup it's data onto the windows machine (maybe another external drive connected to it. You could then scrub the disk in windows, leave it unpartitioned, unformatted. Connect it back to the mac and format it as HFS+ (Mac extended journalled) and transfer the data back to it by sharing the windows machine external drive and connecting the two machines with a network cable.

    Look through the compatible list chart and see which 80GB model are you using, either ID 9 or 10. you can order through Apple Online Store.

  • Would help to have a way to tell if addons will be compatible BEFORE I install an update. Lightning is the major concern for us.

    Thunderbird asks to update to 24.5.0 but I need to know for sure that Lightning has a compatible version before I do the update. Can't afford to lose that calendar. When I go look at the mozilla site for lightning it shows the current version, the one I'm using, is compatible with 24.4.0, my current Thunderbird. But the lightning site says the lightning version compatible with 24.* has not yet been released. So, does this mean if I update Thunderbird to 24.5.0 then the current version of lightning will not work properly, if at all?
    I would like to see an option on the Thunderbird update dialog that would show me each of my addons, which will be compatible with the new Thunderbird version and which will not, then allow me to select to update or to wait.
    Thanks.

    The Thunderbird 24.X.x updates (like 24.4.0, 24.5.0) are for security and allowed stability bug fixes. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/24.5.0/releasenotes/
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/lightning/versions/
    The versions of lightning with b1 are for the Beta builds of Thunderbird which are built more for QA purposes as there are no such Release versions.

  • Which c-series modules are compatible with Scan Mode?

    OK, so I just wasted 4 hours.
    I started a new Project with a need to use a 9220 analogue input card on a cRIO 9030, but immediately became stuck when I was unable to add the module using the right click Add New C-Series Module wizard to the 9030 chassis.
    My first (and only) assumption was that this was a new card and I needed the latest Device Drivers. So I installed those.
    When that failed I upgraded my LV2014 to LV2014 SP1, and also upgraded the Real-Time and FPGA modules too.
    4 hours later, when that failed, I realised that maybe this isn't a card compatible with Scan Mode so began searching ni.com for information. I've searched a whole raft of terms and I just cannot find information on which modules are supported by Scan Mode (which is presumably nearly all of them). I know it exists somewhere because I one referred to it when I had an RS485 module that was only compatible in FPGA mode, about four years ago.
    So:
    1. Is there an easy way to determine if a C-Series module is compatible with Scan Mode? I still don't know!
    2. Can we please have Scan Mode compatibility shown in the Add C-Seris Module Wizard. When attempting to add a module to a cRIO chassis, the wizard can hint to us that a particular module is not compatible. By not showing the 9220 in the drop down list I was led to believe the module was not a known device (and hence I attempted to upgrade my drivers). It would be better if the module was listed but disabled and not selectable, with some informational text to explain why. It's a fair assumption that a module will be compatible, so we don't expect it to not be listed when we attempt to add it. In fact, the possibility that some modules aren't compatible can evade your consciousness temporarily and make you do stupid things (like upgrade your installation!).
    3. Can we please have Scan Mode compatability information put on each module's description page. That would have made this whole process much quicker.
    Thoric (CLA, CLED, CTD and LabVIEW Champion)

    Well, I definitely agree that finding info about RSI module support is not as easy as it should be. Since I know where to look, I will refer you to this document, which I found linked from this page.
    That's the best document I know of on the topic.
    Cheers!

  • HT1338 what printer will be compatible with my laptop?

    Please help me on what printer will be compatible with my laptop?

    Most brands are currently compatible (HP, Canon, Epson). Depending on your needs, any model of those brands will work. If you have an iPhone, you may want to get a model that supports AirPrint so you can print from your iPhone. Which ever brand you like, go to their web site and review the models to see which one you want. Also, be sure what you choose supports WiFi so you can use it wirelessly.
