Would this hard drive be compatible with a Compaq Presario CQ50-115NR?

I'm wondering if this hard drive would fit in and be compatible with my laptop:
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=684
I'm not sure if this 12mm, 2.5 inch drive would fit in it or be compatible with it. I plan to purchase this one if it is indeed compatible and will fit.
Otherwise, if not, then can someone recommend another internal 750 GB SATA 3 Gb/s 8 MB Cache 5200 or 5400 hard drive for me that is just as good quality as Western Digital? Must be compatible and fit.
Thanks and much appreciation in advance.

Hmm... Can no one help?

Hi,
I believe I did reply this message elsewhere few days ago. Anyway. 750Gb or 1Tb is fine for your machine.

Hard drive cameras compatible with FCE 4?

I am comparing cameras for purchase for our video broadcast program. I like the idea of the hard-drive camera so we eliminate tape and all its aggravations.
However, I notice the hard drive cameras interface with USB. Can FCE import these files?
Thank you.

Hi Chris
What tape brand are you using... to have bleed-through sounds like very poor quality tapestock.
I have never had a problem as you mention in the 8 years I have been using mini-dv tapes in dvcpro vt players, the only problem I have had is with JVC cassettes, snapping and needing to be spliced, here in South Africa we tend to use SONY/PANASONIC tapestock.
Really if you go back in the forum you will find a huge discussion about the pros/cons of hard-drive camera's vs minidv camera's.
With mini-dv you do not need the camera to edit from, in the case of hard-drive camera's the camera is out of duty for the length of the edit, with mini-dv the footage is separate from the camera.
If it was me, I would either argue for a bigger budget based on a number of factors. Final Cut Express is capable of dealing with AVCHD footage after it has been converted, if you do not like this then Final Cut Studio 2 which would cost the same as a Sony HVR A1.
Tape stock is much cheaper than camera's or P2 memory cards.
Something we use here is the FIRESTORE external hard drive that is attached to the camera and records footage at the same time as the camera records to tape. Very handy!!!!
That would solve the problem, you have instant access to the footage and an archive tape.

What external hard drive is compatible with Mountain Lion?

Mountain Lion is no longer recognizing the external hard drive I was using for Time Machine --
WD My Book Essential 3.0 WDBACW0020HBK. What is a good external hard drive to use with Mountain Lion?

As Shootist007 said, go to /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Select the drive you want to reformat in the Disk Utility Sidebar and make sure it say's Format : Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If so, simply hit the Erase button. Once that's done go back to Time Machine and reselect it if needed.
If you continue to have problems with the drive, I've always used OWC drives with few issues. Others use Lacie drives.

What hard drives are compatible with OSX Snow Leopard Boot Camp?

Recently when the video card in my desktop Mac died, I decided to make some upgrades, one of them being the hard drive. After doing some research, I fixed on the Western Digital 3TB Caviar Green 3.5-Inch and had it installed at the same time as the new video card. I installed OS 10.6.8, opened up Boot Camp Assistant, set the partition sizes: 2.5 TB for my Mac side and 500 GB for the Windows. XP wouldn't install so I ordered Windows 7 and began trying to set up the Windows partition. Each time I tried, I got the same error -- Windows 7 couldn't install on the 500 GB partition since it was formatted GPT which was strange since when I looked at the partition inside of Disk Utility, it said NTFS. While troubleshooting, I came across the following:
・Mac users should know that WD's new drives do not support Boot Camp, therefore they cannot be used as a dual-boot hard drive.
・The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
・In a 32-bit MBR world, a disk larger than 2TB is probably invalid, and different OS's and tools react wildly differently when this is forced beyond 2TB.
I called Western Digital to confirm which of their drives were in fact compatible with Boot Camp and they replied since Boot Camp was a third-party application, they have no information on compatibility. They told me to call Apple to get the information. Before purchasing a new drive and sending back the 3TB WD, I want to be sure I know which specs to look for in a hard drive in deciding whether it is compatible with my machine. Any helpful advice or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the specs for my Mac:
2006 24" iMac 6,1 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
OS 10.6.8
Boot Camp Assistant 3.0.4

Thanks for responding to my question. I guess I'm not sure I understand your reply though. I had no problem installing OS X on the 3TB WD Caviar Green and WD assured me that if I wanted to install only Windows 7 on it, there would be no compatibility issues. The problem lies with wanting the drive to be dual-bootable I guess via using Boot Camp (I know of no other way to go about it). The tech at OWC (where I bought the drive) said he had never heard of any problems with being able to install both Mac and Windows OS on the drive. In fact, he gave the same reply as yours: most hard drives should be able to work perfectly fine with your Mac. It's just that I can't get XP or Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit) to install on the 2nd partition, making the drive I have now not dual-bootable. The tech said 2TB hard drives were different and should solve the problem but when I asked him for any discernible spec I could look for in shopping for a replacement drive, he couldn't give me one, i.e. most drives should be okay. I have paid to have the 3TB installed and will have to pay to get the drive taken out and a replacement put back in -- I want to make sure whatever drive I put in this time allows me to have 2 partitions: one for my Mac OSX system and the other for my Windows enviroment (either XP or Windows 7).
If there is a work-around not involving Boot Camp, please let me know. I thought the reason for using Boot Camp as opposed to Disk Utility to create the dual-bootable drive was the benefit of using Mac drivers on the Windows side.
If there is another way, I don't understand why PC world made this blanket statement:
"Mac users should know that WD's new drives do not support Boot Camp, therefore they cannot be used as a dual-boot hard drive."

Sata III hard drive cable compatible with older generation of macbook pro

Would my macbook ( 17 in mid 2009 ) be compatible with a new hard drive cable ( sata III ) ? I upgraded my hard drive to Samsung Pro 840 and wanted to upgrade my sata II cable to a sata III for faster read and write. Is this possible?

Dave The Newbie,
replacing the cable will not increase the interface speed, just as putting racing slicks on a minivan won’t make it a dragster. I have the same model SSD in my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and my MacBook Pro’s SATA interface is limited to SATA II, just like yours. Unless you’re planning on mainly running disk-bound apps, it’s not something that you’ll need to worry about — just enjoy the SSD as is.

Hard Drive Camcorders Compatible with iMac/iMovie???

Hello,
I'm looking for a Hard Drive Camcoder that is iMovie Compatible. It seems to me that Sony and Panasonic are out of the question. Is JVC compatible? Didn't think this would be such a wild goose chase to find a camcorder. Any advice to a particular model aroound the $400-$600 range would be helpful.
Thanks!
Josh

Hard drive recording is convenient, but flash based is more secure. Have you thought about the Sony HDR-CX6EK, right now it is bundled with a 4GB Memory Pro Duo.
iMovie08 handles AVCHD very well. I just started to work with a Sony HDR-CX6EK. Brilliant pictures, nice camera. A clear recommendation. And iMovie08 is convenient, fast and works well with the Sony HDR-CX6EK.
By the way: If you use iPhoto you need to choose "No programm will automatically open" when a camera is connected to the computer - if iPhoto is the default it will detect and grab the camera and iMovie08 will not be able to see the camera.

Hi,
You've got no other option because no slot for HDD, only for mSATA as you already know:
Hard drive
Description Spare part number
128-GB mSATA solid-state drive (SSD) 672616-001
If you wish bigger (capacity) HDD, please try this:

Hard drive cameras compatible with final cut express

What hard drive cameras are compatible with FCE,
I purchased an imac and much to my dismay my Sony dcr-sr200 doesn't work with it..
Thanks
John

What format do you want to work in SD or HD? You should really ask questions about camera purchases on the video production forum. There are many factors involved here, only one of which is its compatibility with FCE.

What internal hard drive is compatible with Macbook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)?

I live in India. I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012). My Macbook crashed 3 days ago. Apple said the internal hard disk needed replacement. They gave me two options.
1. They get a new hard drive replaced from Apple for 12000 INR (280$),
or 2. If you find it expensive, you can buy an internal hard disk from sources other than Apple and we will fix it in for you.
I have decided to go with option 2, because option 1. is not feasible for me!
Now my question is,
What type of internal hard disk should I buy?
or
What are the specifications for the internal hard drive that must be met to suit my MBP?
Getting my internal hard disk replaced is something I've never done before.
I have a MBP, (13-inch, Mid 2012 model)
