• 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  Thus, their original 16 TB limit has now been replaced by their new limit of 64 to.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.

  It is my mother's computer.  She is 90 and is unwilling to learn a new OS.  I want to reinstall XP on a hard disk that has 300 GB and is already installed in the E drive.  His original hard drive is 40 GB and 35 are in use.  I have the original Windows product key but not the windows CD.  the retailer who has built and sold this pc is out of business.  What is the best way to achieve this?

  You can borrow a retail XP CD from a friend of yours and activate it using your product key.

• What are the compatible motherboards for Satellite A30 213

  Hello

  This is my first post, I hope someone can help me!

  I have a laptop A30-213, which requires a new main Board.
  Can someone tell me that other models in this series have compatible motherboards?
  I note there are a few on Ebay but no saying specifically A30-213.

  Of course, it would have to take in the envelope for my A30-213 and have connections in the same place.
  Not worth on the processors as I assume that these can be swapped?

  Thanks in advance!

  Keith

  Hello

  You can only use a motherboard which has been designed and produced specially for a series of A30.
  You can use the Board designed for Equium/Satellite A30 / Pro A30.

  New Board of Directors can be ordered on an ASP in your country, but the new boards a not cheap. You know

• Dv9008nr what is the largest hard drive internal, it will support? Including the two Bay drive.

  I have a laptop model Hp Pavilion Dv9008nr I have buy a new sata model Reader 2.5 500 GB seagate momentus.  I installed the player NDDN hard drive Bay, but the computer will not recognize and does not start in windows.  so I used Acronis to clone an image of the original disc with bootable operating systems so it clone for the Seagate 500 GB drive I reinstalled to drive Bay 1, but it still won't start. I have a vontacted HP support level 1 level 2 they say this computer supports a maximum of 200 GB of disc or 100 GB in each Bay.  I find it hard to believe when I search on the net and see the same model with 250 GB drives and 320 GB can someone explain or help thanks.

  I just let everyone know that I understood how to do this job. NO thanks to HP CUSTOMER SUPPORT level 1, level 2 or CAT.  They all told me that it was a problem of motherboard and BIOS and software was not the problem.  They stated that this series to DV9000 motherboard only can support a total of 200 GB of total disk space. It is 100 GB in drive Bay 1 and 100 GB of disk bay2, or 120 GB bay1 and 80 GB in bay 2.  I found that hard to believe. But still, they sent me the manual and showed me to page 123 this is everything that is supported.  They suggest to buy a new computer or use the external drive.

  HERE IS THE SOLUTION > I bought Acronis True Image 2009.  I remembered that a friend said that I must have the largest disk in drive Bay 1 and the same size or more small disk in drive Bay 2.  So, I took the 100 GB original out of the drive Bay 1 and installed in the 2 Bay drive. I then installed a new Western Digital 320 GB drive to bay1.  I rebooted the computer using the Acronis boot disk I had done.  Then, I used Acronis to create a disk image of my 100 GB drive Clone original with OS to the new 320 GB drive Bay 1.  After that the clone was complete I took out the boot disk and restatred windows and wow it worked fine.  I now have primary disk of 320 GB with the full image in reader1 and old 100 GB in drive 2.  That's a total of 420 GB on the motherboard which supposedly does not support.  I then decided to try this again then I removed the original 100 GB drive and then the clone bootable from 320 to drive Bay 2.  I then installed a new 500 GB Seagate Maximus drive dirve Bay 1. I then started with the Acronis boot idisk and cloned the 320 GB drive in the drive Bay 2 the new 500 GB drive Bay 1.  I have restart after taking the Acronis boot disk and, once again, I am now running windows with a disk of 500 GB primary with OS and all programs as well as 320 GB drive in Bay 2.  The two will appear in my computer as well as in managing and disk management. I then reformat the drive of 320 GB to free up more storage space.  You can do the same thing or set up in the raid disk.  I hope that this helps eveyone, because now I have 820 GB of hard drive space internally, despite any erroneous information that I received from HP.  I wil gladly help someone through the steps if necessary.  Thanks for all the support out there!

• What is the largest hard drive that I can install it in a 8460p Elitebook?

  I currently have a 500 GB drive, but I'm the complete with many large database files. Are there inherent limiters in hardware?

  You are the very welcome.

  As long as you don't mind the slower time to search for the car of 5 400 rpm, you should be fine then.

  On the side, your battery life should be a bit longer between charges.

• Can what larger HARD drive I use on Portege 7200ct?

  Ive got a toshiba portege 7200ct, what is the largest hard drive recognizable by the laptop?
  That I get an insert system disk in drive when I put in a 40 GB drive

  Thank you

  Hello

  The Portege 7200ct seems to be an older unit.
  I googled around and found some info on the delivered HARD drive.
  It seems that the laptop came with a 12 GB of HARD drive.

  ARIN, I think 20 GB HARD drive would work and in my opinion the BIOS does not recognize the larger hard drives.
  But "suck it and see '.
  You know it; You can visit a computer store and test drives. Maybe you are a lucky man and run a larger HARD drive (but I don't)

• Dimension E310 will identify the 2nd HARD drive

  I am trying to add a 2nd HARD drive on my Dimension E310 (WinXP Media Center Edition 2005) without success.  I bought a naked WD10EZEX and 1.0 TB SATA cable and have physically installed the drive and connected the power cable from Garland.  SATA data cable is connected to the SATA-2 port.  When I go into the BIOS settings, the original boot drive 80 GB is recognized but the second disc of 1.0 TB is not.  I turned on the port, but the disc ID says 'unknown '.  If I spend two readers autour, the first hard disk (CT 1.0) is recognized but the second disc (the original 80 GB) drive ID: unknown.  BIOS is version A03 (08/10/05).  What I am doing wrong or do I not have a defective SATA-2 port?

  Hi, Osprey4.  Thanks for your suggestions.  I tried to connect just one drive at a time for the second SATA port, leaving the first open port and got the same results.  No disc has been recognized.  I chose to not reset the CMOS.  It seems the second port does not work.  I can accept and manage with just one port I have available with the larger HARD drive.

  Thanks again for your support.  I'll mark this thread as "resolved".

• Can satellite A30 - I install a larger HARD drive?

  I thought I had taken care with boards and pieces of kit. but after the reconstruction of my A30 (having the replaced DC Jack), he comes up with the following messages:

  * SMART failure provided on hard disk 0: TOSHIBA MK4018GAS (PM) *.
  * WARNING: Immediately back up your data and replace your hard drive. A failure may be imminent.*
  * Press F1 to continue. *

  I tried winding connector to HARD drive decision-making, which seems OK.

  So start thinking I killed this disk somehow. If Yes, can I install a larger drive, say 80 or even 160 GB and should I look for a magic word MK4018GAS, or is it SATA or IDE, I'm looking.

  Thank you. Robin

  Hello!

  If you delete the old HDD, you can see if an IDE or SATA HDD but the Satellite A30 is equipped with an IDE HDD.

  You can use a larger HARD drive. This should not be a problem, but as far as I know this laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that the disc size limit is 128GB and so you can use a 120 GB HARD drive.
  If you want to learn more about this read the article on Wikipedia or here: http://www.48bitlba.com

  So, you can buy a 120 GB HARD drive or an 80 GB HARD drive as you suggest. I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

  In any case, I think that it s a good idea to exchange the HARD drive. SMART error message appears as if there is something wrong with the HARD drive to back up your data as quickly as possible. ;)

  Good bye
