What is the Format a drive must be to work as a disc of extra work

My computer is full, I have a new mac and a small hard drive. Unfortunately it cannot be upgraded. I am running Yosemite. I have a 2 TB external drive that is currently formatted as fat32. If I reformat completely for mac will be would be able to serve as a scratchdisk in CC PS? I also have a transcend memory stick that can be inserted into the slot for additional storage card. It is formatted in exfat. I can reformat the drive to mac and it will then work as a working drive?

Thanks a lot for your time,.

Hi Ben,

I have a Macbook and so that Photoshop to detect a USB or external drive as a scratch disk should be in Mac OS Extended format.

FAT32 or or window NTFS will not work.

It in disk utility. If you have a large external drive, you should always make the entire disk one zero volume.

You can partition your disk and forms like MacOS and format the other partition for something else.

And then I have a 750 GB drive partitioned into a time Machine 500 GB and 250 GB partition I have the label 'other '. Two Mac OS extended.

In this way the Time Machine is always handy, and I strongly encourage the backups. You can't fix a corrupted project of 300 layer.

'Other' is the scratch disk and double as storage as well. Photoshop can't partitions as workspace access time Machine.

Here are my parameters of format. You do all this in virtue to erase it.

  • What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?

    What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?  Also, WHERE can I find this specification?  Drobo claims that 16 TB is the largest external RAID supported and I do not.

    FYI............ 2 UPDATES since I posted this question:

    "1. Drobo has updated their FIRMWARE to allow now to 'beyond' 64 power to RAID".  Thus, their original 16 TB limit has now been replaced by their new limit of 64 to.  Also note that when you use a Drobo, Apple Mac OS does correctly shows space 'Drive' and the 'free space', if the Drobo 16TB exceeds the size; but the Application DashBoard of Drobo displays the correct numbers.  For example, my Drobo 5 d contains 5, 8 TB disks, for a total size beyond 40 to RAID (theoretically, since most of us should know, now, that the ACTUAL SIZE IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER than THE THEORETICAL SIZE).  AVAILABLE FOR USE ACTUAL SIZE IS ONLY 28.9 TB.  Thus, 40-28, 9 = 11.1 TB gets used in place for the PROTECTION of RAID beyond and the difference between REAL SPACE and SPACE THEORY.  It IS NORMAL because any RAID 5 device always uses about 1 size of hard drive for its Protection.  So, knowing this, the DeskTop icon showing 28.9 TB disk space and free space as everything that is not yet used.  However, instead, the Mac OS shows 70,37 TB disk space and free space like 68,37 TB, which are both incorrect.  Although I'd love it if Mac OS has been magically increase my disk space, in fact, these two numbers are false.  Drobo knows this, and Apple has not, in my discussions with both.  So I hope, between the two companies, that this problem can be corrected.

    2. after many hours on the phone with Apple Support, through no less than 6 people including 2 senior advisers, NONE OF THEM COULD ANSWER MY QUESTION ON CE WHO IS MAXIMUM ALLOWED HARD DRIVE or RAID SPACE AUTHORIZED BY Yosemite and El Capitan.  For me, THIS IMPORTANT FACT SHOULD SIMPLY BE LISTED IN THE OS SPECIFICATION TECHNIQUE, it's quick and easy to read on the Support Site.  But Apple is the new bureaucracy, they are, I don't see what is happening any time soon.  So, be aware that, for now, HE IS No. LIMIT ON SIZE, as an Apple adviser said; but could not confirm in writing; and, IT IS AN INCORRECT DISPLAY SIZE AND FREE SPACE, if your drive is greater than an unknown 16 + TB in size.  Note that I have 3 other RAIDs that are properly in place showing that 9 TB, TB 12 and 18 to size; but I do not know how the SIZE IS IMPORTANT to ensure that the operating system display it correctly, except for my Drobo TB 40.  So, the bottom line, somewhere between to 18 and 40 to is where he goes wrong, in its display of sizes.

  • What is the largest hard drive that will work in dv6324us laptop computer?

    What is the largest hard drive that will work in a HP Pavilion dv6324us laptop?

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01035677.PDF

    Support for HARD drives and capacities are listed in Chapter 3, page 3-25.

    Personally, I think you could install a SATA II 320 GB to your laptop.  Maybe even a 500 GB.

    You could also probably install a drive of 7 200 rpm for better performance or if the battery life between charges is more important for you, then stick with a disk of 5 400 rpm.

    Hi people
    I use Fusion HCM WorkerServices exposed through web services and trying to add a worker and get the error (by Java Exception) HRC-HRC_DE_SRV_ESD_EED_NOT_SET. I understand that Fusion HCM webservice could a wrapper around PeopleSoft (I could be wrong), among other things, and Googling shows me how to set the date in PeopleSoft or its implementation.

    I would like to ask what is the format by default for the effective date of commencement and end be set via Webserice.  I tried different formats but without success.


    I use WorkerService. Worker, Version 2

    Any pointer, help would be greatly appreciated.

    D is something your OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer - the company that brought the computer in a package deal for you like HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) put it there in case you need to restore the default values.

    I would like to backup everything.  The worst of the method chosen, it's that you probably do not have CD/DVD to restore the system in the event of a failure of hard drive... so, this hard drive dies and * poof *-you have nothing.
