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  Thus, their original 16 TB limit has now been replaced by their new limit of 64 to.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

• 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.

  I just got a chat session with a Seagate tech (formerly Maxtor).  He said that the Maxtor 3200 s/n I made in 2006 don't is NOT supported by Win7 and never will be.  I just bought the year last from Radio Shack for about $80,00.  If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to try.  I read a blog by which this guy has followed this procedure and it worked, said: let HD; Start Win7; Turn on HD; restart the pc (NOT reboot).  Who has not worked for me.

• Updated the motherboard, processor and RAM and upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, after upgrade the external hard drive encrypted with bitlocker will not enter the password.

  Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

  Hello

  I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

  Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

  I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

  Hello

  Reassembly of the old computer won't help. You will always need the key to open the Bitlocker.

• I can transplant my early 2011 2.7 GHz 13 "MacBook Pro hard drive into my late 2008 MacBook 5.1?

  The battery on my early 2011 2.7 GHz 13 '' MacBook Pro just exploded, almost destroying the machine. As I need to replace the battery and the trackpad, I guess that's maybe a good time to upgrade to an SSD, leaving me with the old 500 GB 5400 RPM hard drive Serial ATA to play with. This hd currently has Yosemite and all my essential programs installed on it. I also saved it on an external drive via Time Machine.

  Meanwhile, I have a MacBook late 2008 5.1 I want to migrate everything to, however the HD is only 320 GB, resulting in errors when trying to make an update of Time Machine.

  Can I pop the hard drive of the 2011 MBP in my MacBook late 2008 5.1? Is the material compatible? The OS sees it's a different system at startup and make the necessary adjustments (No firewire, there less RAM, etc.)?

  If not, how can I move my Applications without moving on the entire hard drive? Or could I format the hard drive to 500 GB and then run the Time Machine backup? It would even work?

  A lot of variables here. Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you!

  I forgot to mention that the MacBook 5.1 is 2.4 GHz.

• External hard drive compatible with 10.5.8 os

  Hi, I have an old 2009 iMac 2.4 ghz processor intel core 2 double running 10.5.8. I want to update the snow leopard operating system.

  Ive been told to should save my system before you install the update... but I can't find an external hard drive that compatible with 10.5.8... suggestions any? (seagate / WD?)

  Hard drives must be compatible with the connection port on a computer, not with an operating system. You can use any external HARD drive that can be connected by Firewire and USB ports on the computer.

• What is the large hard drive Satellite A30 supports

  Satellite A30-514 P4 2.8 GHz/WXP HE/512 MB / 30 GB/15TFT/DVD-CD-RW. I have the latest bios update and only I can see downloads for this machine. I have a 30 GB drive. I look at the model 100 GB or 80 GB. This model supports these formats. Some of these new hitachi drives have also a ata supplys data cable and power. Someone know if this laptop supports this connection or are these two cables. As I have yet a glance. Any advice on what type of player to use will be much appreciated.

  Hi Mike,.

  I have a 80 GB hard drive in my A30 at the moment. You will need a player with similar physical dimensions as your drive existing. Cables are not a problem because the drive on the A30 is connected directly to a connector under the optical drive (this should be removed first to access the hard drive.

  An appropriate drive would be the MK8025GAS but you could also take the option to use a car with a higher rotation speed. The original drive is 4200 RPM and I am currently using a version of 5400 RPM in my A30. There is a little extra heat, but this is really noticeable during heavy disk activity (anti-virus, Defrag, backup, etc.).

  Kind regards
