• Mini Mac server - attachment of external hard drives file transfer speed

  Hi guys!

  I wanted to increase the speed and storage capacity to transfer to my Mac mini file, so I bought a box of external hard drives. The one I bought is: http://www.icydock.com/goods.php?id=219

  Built-in the Mac mini hard drives transfer the file to 60 MB/s (writing and reading) and I wanted to get better speed of file transfer, so I bought an SSD that is going to be inside with an another HARD drive of 3 TB for archiving my files. The housing is connected by USB3.0 (5 Gb/s) for the Mac mini.

  [SSD-> files I opened every day] - speed around 550 MB/s write and 500 MB/sec in reading

  [HDD-> Archives, files that I have does not open very often] - speed around 150 MB/s write and 150 MB/sec in reading

  So I did some benchmarks on my new Setup, and the speed is not really what I expected. Transfer of file max speed I have achieved is about 100 MB/sec in writing on the external SSD plugged into the mac mini. This transfer has been filed since an iMac 21 "2011 with an SSD (with almost the same speed read/write than the box) so it's quite disappointing.

  It is possible that the Mac has a 'file transfer speed limit' is somewhere? Or whatever else that could affect that?

  More information on my setup:

  Mac Mini server 2012 - 2 TB RAID 1 - Mac OSX 10.9.5

  iMac 21 "2011 - Crucial SSD 275 Gb - Mac OSX 10.9.4

  IcyDock external enclosure - 4 bays, USB3 5 Gb/s

  -Red WD HDD 3To

  -Crucial SSD 1 TB

  Together internal Gigabit Ethernet network

  Thank you!

• How can I move music and photos from my MacBook on an external hard drive, files without deleting the existing NTFS files stored on it?

  Hello.

  I am aware that this issue (or different versions of it) will be requested a thousand times before, but after searching on the internet for a solution, I have been unable to find all the information that brings a simple clear answer that is specific to my problem and so thought I would ask the question myself.

  I recently bought a Toshiba 1 TB external hard drive to transfer music, photo files and internal document in front of the memory of my old PC running Windows, as well as files, music and photos from my existing MacBook Pro, so I can "release" the memory on the latter.

  Transfer files from the old PC proved to be easy; success achieved by simple drag / drop the files to the appropriate location on the external HD icon of Toshiba which appears once I connected to a USB port. It is perhaps worth mentioning that the area of States hard drive has been formatted NTFS for Windows, and so I guess that I would not have expected any problems when transferred to a PC.

  Move the files from my MacBook has however proved anything but simple and trying to drag the respective music and photo files and drop them on the HD Toshiba icon (which appears on my desktop once it is plugged), I seem to be affected by the same issues as so much seems to have it before me, in that "forbidden access" / error symbol appears with the cursor , and bounce the files to their original location whenever I try to place them on the Toshiba HD.

  I understand that this is due to the HD is formatted in NTFS, and that I would need to reformat the hard drive to move files from my MacBook, which brings me to my questions:-

  (a) how do I do this, and

  (b) can I do this without losing, damage or remove the NTFS files from my old PC, which are already stored on the external hard drive.

  If one is able to offer any assistance, in the most simple, easy to follow the description, I would be really grateful!

  Never been so thanks in advance!

  1 install software such as Paragon NTFS on the Mac and let the reader in its current form or from the Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open disk utility and reformat.

  2. that by putting a copy on another drive. You should do this anyway, in case of failure of this drive.

• How to restore Toshiba external HARD drive information system?

  I use macbook aluminum. When I insert my Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive 320 GB (ext. HDD 2.5 ") 3 on my laptop the time machine automatically ask me if I want to use the hard drive as backup. I accidentally said yes and allow him to erase all information from the hard drive and now my only computer can read the disc hard and another laptop / pc can't read.

  As it can store my files, but may not transfer and open on any other computer besides mine.

  So where can I re-download or reinstall back my Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive 320 GB system information (ext. HDD 2.5 ") 3 so that other computer can read?

  Please help me, bought just for 2 days.

  Hello

  I m not sure but I think to me it s no longer tied to your laptop and has nothing to do with Toshiba. Maybe you use the file system that can be read by other computers (Windows)?

  If you connect to the Windows computer, you can see the disk in disk management?

• How to convert wma to mp3 on external hard drive file

  I have a new version of osxe1 mac 10.11.2 capitan how to convert wma files into mp3 files that are on my external hard drive so my mac can copy on my iTunes

  http://www.mediahuman.com/audio-converter/ - free.  Says it does WMA. I have not used it so try at your own risk...

  Switch (free basic version) - http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html - I don't know if this will make WMA

  All2Mp3 - http://download.cnet.com/All2MP3/3000-2140_4-190407.html - limited success with WMA

  Flip4mac - need version payware intermediary that allows you to convert.  Use with Quicktime player.  Flip4Mac - http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4mac wmv - the free version will allow QuickTime play, but not to convert Windows Media files.

  After installation, a new component of Flip4Mac will appear in system preferences.  Make sure that you set the boxes to make sure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime format.

  VLC - not really a converter but will do a bit on the menu export.  Can be slow to be converted and there will be a learning curve.

  Explore online converters when you download a file in a format and download in another.

  I do not know if your computer can run Audion 3 I think I used to use it to convert WMA.

• External hard drive file names are hidden in Vista

  I have an external hard drive that I use to view files on several computers on my laptop that is running Windows Vista, the files are displayed in the icon view but with no file name. If I switch to list view, details or tile names appear simply not in one of the icon views. This happens only on my laptop and on this external hard drive.

  How can I get the names of files to be displayed in the icon views?

  Hello

  1. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

  Step 1: Check if the problem persists in the clean boot state.

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

  Reference:
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  1. click on start and then click Run.
  2. type msconfig and click OK.

  The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

  3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
  4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  Step 2: If it helps, try the steps and check them off below.

  a. open the external hard drive and right-click on the empty space and select Customize this folder on the Customize tab select images and videos from the use of this file as a template.
  b. right-click on an empty area of the window and click Show, and then click Hide file names to uncheck.

  NOTE: If it is gray to hide file names, so make sure you have either very large icons, large icons, icons or small icons dotted first instead of the list, details, or tiles. (See right screenshot below)

  c. the names of files and folders should now be back.
  d. If you have changed the model folder in step 2, then change to the model file you want or had before.

  

  

• External hard drives - file transfer

  I have two external hard drives and I want to move the files from one to the other.   I want to create a new folder on the drive more so I can copy the files in this folder.  I have to be able to create this folder...  How to do this, then once done, how to copy files...

  -What is the format of the disks? PC players are usually formatted with NTFS that a Mac CAN read natively, but CAN NOT write to. Thus, yu cannot copy any files or folder natively on disks formatted in NTFS.

  -You can write to disk formatted in NTFS with an application like:

  Tuxera NTFS for Mac

  Paragon NTFS for Mac® 14

  -If you can write on a disc yo can just go to the Finder and select the drive and right click and select new folder. You can select the files to copy to copy and then right-click and select copy, then go to where you want and right click and select Paste.

  You can also select the and drag them to the desired location.

• Question about creating a recovery (file system) USB flash drive

  Hello and happy new year to all, (I'm from greeece, sorry for the mistakes of language possible)

  (Pavilion dv6-6c01ev - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - bought 08-21-12)

  I want to create a USB stick recovery, and I just bought a USB flash drive 32 GB 3.0 for this reason.

  I've never done it before, but I have read how, according to the this page.

   

  My question is:

  What file system must be the USB key, before the decision-making process? FAT32 or NTFS ?

  Bought, thati USB file system is FAT32 by default.

  I already read that on the page above: 'a message of Recovery Manager opens indicating that the flash drive will be formatted. Click OK to format the USB key and continue. »

  but I would like to have, and a more definite answer from someone who knows better.
  

  So, does change the NTFS file system.

  or should I now start the manufacturing process of the recovery USB flash drive as it is (FAT32)

  Thank you for your help

   

   

  I have already created the recovery USB flash drive, and formatted Recovery Manager the disk before the process,

  and at the end, when the recovery files was written and verifyed.

  I look at the file system of the USB flash drive, and it's NTFS...

  I worried for nothing...

  Thans anyway...

• Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  I want a bigger hard drive, but xp home edition preinstalled. If I change the hard drive I don't think that the recovery disc would work to re install xp. How can I do this without having to buy a new version of windows? Oh, it's a portable satellite pro spa10.

  Sorry, but why you are suggesting that the recovery CD will not recognize the new HARD drive?
  The fact is that if the BIOS will recognize the new HARD drive then you will have no problem for the recovery and the installation of the OS.

  If you want to upgrade the HARD drive, you must use a compatible. Then everything simply initialize-towards the top of the recovery CD and the operating system will install on the new HD disc.

• Satellite Pro A120-107: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello world

  I have a 120-107 I am generally satisfied but the hard drive is too small and I think the upgrade in about 100 GB. What should I look for when buying? Any suggestions on the best drive to get? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

  Hello

  "you just have to take care, that you buy a Sata Drive in the"form factor"2.5". That's all.
  As I know, the biggest that drive was delivered with this machine was a 120 GB SATA drive.

  Regarding the manufacturer: do not hesitate to take all the manufacturers that you like. The best would be Toshiba at all ;)

• Satellite A200-1CR: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hi all...
  I would like to ask something...

  I have toshiba Satellite A200-1cr with 120 GB HARD drive...

  I would like to change my HARD drive. I found a disk hard 2.5 "with 250 GB.

  My questions are the following:

  (1) my knowledge of the workstations are very very good. Is it easy to change myself?
  I guess it is, but I want to be sure... I guess that is on IDE, right? No SATA at all?

  (2) if I changed it I lose my warranty?

  (3) can I give my laptop Toshiba in Greece official store and let them make the change?
  May I take in an informal shop, too?

  (4) can be put on the laptop 2 x 250 GB such US new computers laptops from toshiba?
  Is there enough space in the laptop for such a change?

  Thank you in advance...

  Hey Buddy

  It is good that ask you the question.

  (1) the Satellite A200-1CR supports SATA and no IDE interface and that's why you need a SATA HDD. It of really not difficult to replace the HARD drive and as far as I know, you should find a few details in the user manual. There is a useful statement and photos that explain the entire procedure.

  (2) hm AFAIK the drive replacement HARD will not void the warranty, and has no effect on the State of security.

  (3) you can also contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for a HARD drive replacement, but in my opinion that is not really necessary because the replacement is not very sensitive. As I said above, check the user manual.

  (4) I don t think that your laptop will support 2 x 250 GB HARD drive.
  Of course, there are a few other series laptops which are abele to support two hard drives but I n t think that your laptop A200 support.

  Just a small comment on the new HARD drive:
  The fact is that some more HARD drive are not supported by the BIOS. I mean an upgrade to 120 GB to 250 GB drive HARD is really a leap one possibly your BIOS would not recognize the HARD drive correctly.
  So I recommend to test the HDD first before buying.

  Good bye
