What is the lifetime of a HP LTO tape drive

Hello

Is there any documentation on what is how often should I change my HP Tape Drives? to be more precise, we are talking about a LTO-2 and LTO 5 discs. I'm not of obsolescence, but on how many times the tape drive may fail.

Hello Rumana199,

The average MTBF (meantime between failure) is approximately 250,000 hours for a LTO2 & LTO5 readers. Here is a link to some specifications for your readers.

  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes game against external hard drive, Solid State etc. to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

    First question: what are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes Match against Solid State external hard drive etc to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

    Please let me know what are the alternatives for storage of my songs, playlists, song etc. other than iTunes game ratings ($ 24.99 / year)?  Is there a way to store all my songs with my song ratings, playlists, etc. with a CD song quality? Most of my (currently 130 GB) songs on my computer are CD quality that I prefer to keep as well as my notes of each song (i.e. 5 * vs. 4 * etc.), playlists, groups (music, classical, popular, country etc.).  What are the advantages and disadvantages to store my iTunes songs while CD quality with my personal notes, reading lists, groupings in the cloud?  ICloud of Apple Drive ($ 2.99 per month or $36 / year for 200 GB) would be the best way to automatically update and maintain my rankings iTunes personal including the future editions of the song etc or using Amazon, IBM, Microsoft etc cloud or an external hard drive SSD would work as well and maybe cheaper?  I currently have my iTunes on a PC of 2007 with vista (I use a 1 8T Western Digital external upward by car for my personal info all over HP, songs, photos etc. which is currently close to 170 GB) but also have an Apple i-phone 6 & I Air cushion.  Although I did not need to have all of my music with all their sides, etc. available on all of my devices at all times as iTunes game, I still would have easy access to information on both my PC and my iPhone or iPad?  Thank you.

    In my opinion?

    I back up my data to an external drive for several reasons.  The first is my data - if I put on the cloud, someone else has control over it, they can see what I have and change the preferences to what they see of marketing.

    Almost as important as that - if I had to rely on the cloud whenever I wanted to update my playlists on my phone, I need a better internet connection I have now (working at sea).  To get the best out of the cloud, you need a solid link to home, work or mobile.

    As a spin-off - I hate the fact that Apple take away a feature in their software updates and then allow an app to be sold in their store to replace this feature - or worse still, some features that were available before the updates are now "cloud only."  And Yes - you have to pay for the cloud.  I like most of the people do not appreciate the 'accomplished fact. "

    From the back of the external hard drive ASI downside, is that to be safe, you need to store outside in a separate computer place.  If keep you them together, if one is lost, probably, they are both.  That is to say for me a full backup before you travel, then a new upward as soon as I go home.  Downside is how much data may be lost between the two back ups if I needed to restore.  For me, its worth the risk.  If I was away and say had bought a ton of new music and couldn't go home anytime soon, I can always head to the store and buy a new external drive, they are massively expensive.  Even if my computer has to go for repair and my remote is to halfway around the world - I want to buy a new one.

    Now, some will say that once you buy a new external, you spend more than you would on a cloud subscription.  It's true, but in the 6 years following the purchase of Mac that I've only had to buy a new external once - so with a little luck and planning - it works.

    I left took well - I am not a subscriber of cloud, nor do I want to be.

  • What is the best way to transfer a hard drive of a computer with a motherboard dead to a new system?

    Moving an Installation of Vista

    Hi guys (and girls).

    I'm looking for the best way to transfer my computer drive "workaholic" into another machine... it's a Vista Home Premium x 86 OEM installation, but the motherboard has serious problems, so I'll pulling the reader (and its programs of many irreplaceable and owners) and transfer it into another machine. Yes, I know what are the rules regarding OEM licenses and I don't mean to skirt the rules, as I have a full VHPx86 commercial license collecting dust on the shelf that I was going to use, while I was looking for advice on the transfer:

    Should I go through the process of installation/installation (and following key change) on the original machine and transfer, then the drive in the new machine?

    Or can I move the disk to the new machine as that is, struggle with the driver updates and enter the new key when I reactivate the license?

    Thanks for any advice,

    JAM

    I suggest to install the copy retail hard disk once it's in the new computer.  It is more complicated than simply changing the product key.  You can probably use an upgrade of the repair on-site and avoid having to reinstall your programs and data.  However, you should make a backup of the image first, just in case something goes wrong.  The other option is a clean installation of the new OS and Windows Easy Transfer to move your files and settings.  It would need to reinstall your programs.  Personally, I recommend the latter.  If you go this route there are external to the file migwiz drive since you will be formatting the drive.

  • What is the difference between "numbers - iCloud" and iCloud Drive/numbers

    When I choose to open or move in a document, for example, numbers, the default path is "numbers - iCloud", but I can also choose iCloud drive who has a record numbers it contains. They seem to have the same files, but it's hard to be sure that I can not navigate on "" numbers - iCloud "as a normal file."

    I guess "numbers - iCloud" are left compatibility by iCloud Drive has been here before. But what I really want to know is, is it fair to 2 different ways to get to the same place, is it important that I use?

    I use numbers 2.3 as the removal of the sidebar in 3 numbers makes it unusable for me.

    Hello BrotherKz,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you have questions about the differences between numbers to iCloud and for your Mac and how/where they record documents in the cloud. The following provides information on the numbers for iCloud:iWork for iCloud Support - numbers for iCloud

    Of those who support the articles, it responds to what expect you when you upgrade your iCloud account to use iCloud drive:

  • [NMH300] Try to use Vista backup, but what is the name of user and password to drive Z?

    I use the pole NMH300 media and I want to create a backup process this file copies on drive Z (media Division) and Vista backup invites me for the username and password for the drive Z, which is funny because I never enter a username or password to access this disk , and the more I use a password only to access the media hub File Explorer but I've never had to enter a user name.  What Miss me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Joey

    The utility of backup Vista encrypts the data on the hard drive using the security feature of NTFS format and I think it will not be able to do that if you go back up to the mediahub since its already a different device with a different file for its Reader format. Vista Backup utility is intended only then to NTFS formatted disks so that it can encrypt/secure data being saved. Just use the NTI Shadow backup tool to backup your files, it's a good tool.

  • HP Envy dv6 7247 cl: what is the cable that connects my laptop HARD drive?

    There is a small cable about an inch of that long, it connects a SATA 300 HD to something else, I can't not recognize inside my laptop, my hard drive is dead and along my warranty gone, is it possible to replace the snack cable replace my HARD drive does not work?

    Here's a Visual.

    Thank you.

    Hello andrew8blue,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I saw your picture and read your thread. The cable is not a replaceable part. You might have to replace the whole motherboard if the HARD drive does not work.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you!

  • What is the best way to upgrade my boot drive?

    My OS is El Capitan 10.11.1 - I use a mid-2010, build 5.1 MacPro and internal drive is the original. Rather than wait for my boot drive failure I thought go ahead and update. I bought a 4TB sister SIN to use as the new boot disk (OWC told me this NAS drive will work fine for a boot disk). I found the instructions - below seems simple enough. Is there a better way to go about this?

    > Save

    install the new drive in the #2 slot, 3 or 4

    Format as journaled extended.

    Stop completely, remove the new drive.

    Remove Drive 1 and place it in a different location as #2

    Put the new drive in the #1 Groove

    Start holding down the Option key

    Select Recovery

    Select the drive in the Groove #2 as a source

    Select the drive in the #1 as the destination location

    Let it run.

    Thank you!

    The latest trend (for example at the end of 2013 Mac Pro) is to use a minimum size but extremely quick boot disk, and then move your user files to other drives (such as a TB sister SIN 4 player). It was a good idea to time before Mac was released and inspired this article and its related articles:

    Tip: Create a lean, fast boot disk

    --------

    The second question has to do with the internal drives more than 2.2 to. If you use the CLEAR utility drive on this drive as an internal drive after 10.8.3 in any Mac OS X, it will set up a utility disk and logical volume group cannot erase or partition further. If you can only PARTITION, you will be fine.

    Post back if you get stuck, as there are (somewhat complicated) ways around this issue.
