Can I connect a drive hard thunderbolt to two Macs?

I have an iMac and my main storage device is a disk hard thunderbolt (double disk RAID).  I also have a mac mini as a server and I would like to set up the service of time machine, but only if it can store backups on the same drive external thunderbolt.  I know there are two ports thunderbolt on the disc, but I guess it can be used only with one computer at a time.  Is this true? Or is it possible to connect the disc both computers at the same time? (Even if it is only used for the service of time machine).

That's right the led drive only be attached to a single Mac.

You can have backups from two Mac on disc one hard, if you share the Mac disk drive that is connected. The second Mac then backup over the network to the first Mac who will write the data on the hard drive.

    What you might hope better would be to use a Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter to connect to the router, but even if it works, it would be like a fire (Thunderbolt) connection to a water hose (Ethernet) is launching... and expect to get more water on the hose... more, the best that can be done without wire will be about half the speed of the Ethernet network.

    Sorry, this is no sense... a Thunderbolt drive is designed to connect directly to a Thunderbolt port on a computer, or in a Garland with other devices Thunderbolt.

    In other words, as soon as you break the chain of connection Thunderbolt, the speed drops to Ethernet or even low speed wireless.

  • Can I use the drive HARD internal extra for my Satellite A200-1 to 9?

    Hello, new to these forums,

    I recently bought the A200-1 to 9, and I'm very happy with it. I was interested by the addition of an extra internal HDD to the exisitng 120 GB one. I obviously did not have enough research I bought a Toshiba MK2035GSS: 2.5 "HARD 200 GB drive thinking it would be slot directly into the spare slot and it doesn't.

    So, really, I'm looking for some advice if I can add an extra internal hard drive and if so what model and how. After taking the back cover it looks like the aura of the place for another drive, even though I'm not sure if correct connections are there, or maybe if the space is used for something else.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thank you
    Martin

    Hello Martin

    As far as I know that some A200 models come with hard drives 2. because of this Toshiba laptop brand standard chassis. All A200 models use this standard chassis. Your A200 comes with a single drive HARD and because of this place for the second disc is empty. This does not mean that you can use the second HARD drive.

    I have the same laptop as you and in my case there is no any prepared for second HARD drive HARD drive connector.

    I have a H9 - 1215t with a motherboard IPMMB-FM (Formosa) (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03132942 - 4 Sata connectors on the motherboard are used for 2 hard drives and optical drives 2.

    There is a SATA5 open (black) and a SATA4B3 (red).  It seems that these ports require a different SATA data cable that you used for the SATA - 4 ports 1.

    If so what cable is needed and can use either of these 2 ports to connect an additional hard disk Samsung SSD 850 PRO?

    Data cables Serial ATA (SATA) are standardized.
    There is an eSATA connector, used for external drive connections.

    The Formosa Pegatron motherboard has 6 drive x SATA connectors.
    Look carefully AT the serigraphy on the motherboard (torch lighting) markings.

    Two connectors are marked SATA 0-1, these are compliant with SATA III 6 Gb/s.

  • E3000 can support 4 TB drive hard seagate ST4000DM000

    Hello, I got a new drive hard seagate 4 TB ST4000DM000.

    I try to use it on my Ver.1.0.04 E3000 (version 6) thanks to a hard disk USB 3.0 enclosure, but it failed.

    The router nothing posted on the webpage of storage, the pilot are not not in the table of USB storage device.

    so I formatted the drive on my laptop windows 7, of course with TPG and a single partition.

    It is OK on my laptop now, but can still be found by the router.

    Can Linksys pass the E3000, so the router firmware takes in charge the TPG and the new 4 TB harddrive?

    The HARD drive may be too advanced for the E3000. The USB function on this unit has been tested to work only with the 1.5 TB. Here is the complete list of the tested on an E3000 USB devices. An update of the firmware is not likely to be released, either to improve the function of the DEVICE.

    It would probably be best to upgrade your router. Check out EA6300. This last router is equipped with a USB 3.0 port, ideal for your HARD drive.

  • Why can't replace my drive hard hp compaq 6200SFF 250gig with the largest disk

    I think I posted this in the wrong section earlier.   I want to replace my drive hard HP Compaq 6200SFF with a larger 250gig. I've done it before with other computers with no problems. I bought a 500gig drive at a local store and makes a picture of Symantec Ghost (option was image-boot) to my 250gig drive.    Then I installed the drive and started again with my ghost drive.  Normally I just launch the function of disk image restore to restore the image of the old drive to the new drive.  When I tried to do with the 6200, very well restored ghost image but as soon as I start on the new drive, I get an error message saying that "windows does not stop normally.   I never get to see the Windows Startup logo and welcome screen or something else than this black screen with white letters.  Windows did end normally when I was last using the 250 GB drive and it will power off.  I can't get the restart to go further - I just get the same error screen - there is no options or choice - all said the message is to call your service representative.  Is there something special about 6200 readers?  Do you need to do something instead of or in addition to making a ghost image?  Is it something in the bios that should reset itself?

    Thank you, Hanspuppa.  I think you have a more recent version of Acronis, I ghost.  However, I was able to solve my problem using the Windows repair disk.  I ghost a disk image (ghost - ib) of my drive hard old man and then did a ' local disk image - of ' put the image on my new drive.  I received the repetitive message "Windows 7 does not normally" but then inserted the windows repair disk and booted from it.  He finds that the boot image on the new drive was bad and repaired.  He did not cela easily - reboot/turn off many times before the finished repair disk, I had and the pc booted from the new hard drive properly.  Now, I can do this with windows 7 and the emulation of hard drive has been to AHCI.  Knit a friend and I tried to do this on an another HP6200 with an image of Windows XP. We did not have a handy XP repair disk, but we went in the settings of the bios under storage on disk and passed the SATA AHCI to IDE emulation.  When we restarted Windows message here once, we supported on enter and him went pc to boot normally.  So the problem revolved around the difference in the AHCI IDE and the boot image created by Ghost.

  • How can I know which drive hard connection will fit in my XPS 400?

    Hello. I'm looking for more space and more speed from 400 XPS under Vista 32 bit.   Because I have a Pentium D 2800 core duo and 4 GB of ram, it seems to me that the last reasonable upgrade is a bigger drive.

    It currently has a WD 160 GB with 8 MB buffer.  My wife says that it's slow.

    In addition, the ones I see on Tiger direct shows SATA 300. Is it the same as normal Sata?    All are sata drives compatible with the specification xps 400?

    Option A): Western Digital Caviar SE16 640 GB hard drive - 7200 RPM, 16 MB, SATA-300, OE. $80.

     

    Option B):Hitachi sister 7 K 1000 1000 GB hard drive - 7200 RPM, 32 MB, Serial ATA-300, OEM.  $110 after rebate.

    1 TB disks seem to offer with 32 MB.  The 640 GB has only a case of 16 MB.   Assuming 640 GB is enough space, is it better to get the 16 MB buffer or is it useful to switch to a memory size 32 MB buffer? I get a pop in performance?

    Thank you!!

    I changed my case for reason of cooling, and I can't do the power light and the light work of HARD drive on the new case. I searched in vain on the web for the specification of the motherboard. The original HP PC is a HPE 130F. Motherboard is a H-RS880-Μatx (Aloe)

    Hello CeD_B, I'm not familiar with your card connectors mother special façade, however if cables (wires) are inserted in a plastic connector, you may remove the wires and connect them individually. They are usually labeled.

    The son of LEDs for the power switch and the hard disk activity are polorized, which means they have a plus and a downside that should be connected to the pins on the motherboard in the correct polarity.

    If you have connected to power led and HDD led pins on the motherboard and the lights are not just back the sons and the led should light up, and the hard drive activity led should light up when the hard disk is written to or retrieved from the hard drive data.

    While this image is not your motherboard, it will offer an idea of connections pin on some motherboards.

  • How can I mount a drive hard macbook on an imac?

    Hello

    I have a start 2011 15 "macbook pro that upward and died suddenly last night. Some preliminary research suggests that it is probably the logic board. I expect to be able to get the files on the hard drive (it's already been replaced once!) on my iMac. Both were under OS 10.8.4. The hard drive I use in the laptop is a 500 GB Seagate portable thin SSHD. I took out the hard drive and used a SATA Adapter USB to connect it to the iMac but I get the following error: "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer."

    Is it possible to recover these files or am I stuck with a giant, useless paper weight? No, I had not run a return upward in some time. No, unfortunately I don't have the money to get fixed logic board, if that is indeed the problem.

    Thank you in advance!

  • given HP h8 - 1260T connect to drive hard 3rd

    I would like to add another disk sata hard to crack open in the 'hard drive cage"on my PC. There is an available power cable, but I see no data cable. There also doesn't seem to be anywhere to connect the data cable to the 3rd disc as hard disks 1 and 2 cables and 2 dvd/blu ray optical readers use the only available on the motherboard connections. Is there a data cable sata type 'y' should I use to replace one of the cables to the other hard drive?

    Thank you very much in advance!

  • How can I erase the drive hard when I can't read the screen of the monitor?

    I need to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows xp but I can not "cmd" promp because I can't read the monitor

    What do you mean that you can not read the monitor? Is the black screen or it seems weird when you start the operating system? And why do you need command prompt to reinstall an operating system?

    You need not be inside an operating system to reinstall.

    1. Insert the installation disc and turn on your computer
    2 watch it down or up for orders of F access the BIOS (usually F2) or the Startup Manager (usually F12)
    3 power on the system again, then press the button once Startup Manager as a couple at the time wherever you turn on the computer.
    4. Select the CD/DVD drive as the boot device
    5. a screen will come in saying to press a key to boot from CD (so press a key) and the installation will begin.

    If you don't have a Boot Manager, then you must start in the BIOS or Setup and move the CD/DVD drive up to make the first boot device.
