What is using my hard drive?

• 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  Thus, their original 16 TB limit has now been replaced by their new limit of 64 to.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 capacity of the HARD drive in 1670CDS

  New, I HAV Satellite 1670CDS with Phoenix BIOS ver. A 1.07.
  My drive HARD broked down. I have to buy a new one. What capacity of the HARD drive will be detected BIOS corectly? How many GB of hard drive I can buy?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  This kind of information can give you just authorized partner. I found the info your device comes with 6 GB of HARD drive. Am I wrong?

  I'm sure you can use 10 or even 12 GB of HARD drive without any problem. If you want to use more than capacity, it is possible that it will not be recognized by the BIOS.

  I found an offereor which has guaranteed that even at 30 or 40 GB hard drives can be used on older models, but the BIOS should be handled with the special tool and is not for free.

  Good bye

• I can't say what's on my hard drive and what is in my iCloud

  I'm trying to free up hard drive space and storage iCloud added.  Unfortunately, I'm unable to see exactly what is on my hard drive.  I don't have duplication, but to delete almost everything on my hard drive.

  Help?

  iCloud is geared towards sharing between devices and is not designed for cloud storage only. Everything you place in iCloud Drive will also keep a copy of your MacBook. You can save possibly reduce the space required on your Mac if you use iCloud photo library by going to the preferences of Photos and turn on "Optimize Mac storage" but which only applies to photos and will be possible only if space is needed.

  There are 3 third-party services like Dropbox and OneDrive that have options for cloud storage only.

• the size of your hard drive is not supported for this process. Please use a hard drive at least GB in size

  Whenever I try to use my restore disks of backup with the image of the system when I bought my Dell 8300 desktop computer I get this error message (your hard drive is not taken in charge for this process. Please use a hard drive at least GB in size.

  My computer crashed went to blue screen that wouldn't everything now I hear 4 beeps, finally I managed to do start on. I already ran the long diagnoses everything was fine.

  Here's my problem. I changed the Sata AHCI RAID mode I could create a partition then my Windows 7 downloaded CD Windows 7... my CD of drivers dell drivers, but now I'm unable to use my system restore CD to restore like I always do when I have a problem. When I changed the sata mode to AHIC on load it says (lack of operating system)

  I'm not very technical, so if someone can show me step by step on what I should do or give me a call [Admin Note: personal information removed] I would appreciate it a lot. I've added a few pictures as well

  

  

  Large. I am pleased that my DBAN guide has helped you.

  Now that you are on the factory settings, I advise Dell DataSafe Local Backup uninstall and upgrade to the latest version of Dell backup and restoration which has many bugs/improvements, including the ability to restore to another hard drive which is useful in case the hard disk fails in the future or you decide to upgrade later to an SSD. The XPS 8300 running perfectly with a SSD, I have mine put in place with one. Then you can create a Rescue Disk (external hard drive Bootable) or Backup factory (Bootable USB Flash Drive) that will be promoted the recovery compared to the facts media with Dell DataSafe Local Backup. See here for more details:

  Note This is not a UEFI BIOS (he missed just out on the passage to the UEFI) but may start from an external hard drive.

• Photos uses iCloud only or can I simply use your hard drive?

  I am confused in regard to if I can store photos using the Photos app on my hard drive or are they only stored on the iCloud?

  Thank you very much

  Photos by default uses your hard drive. It will use only iCloud if you have iCloud lit Photos, and even then he keeps a copy of your photos on your hard drive.

• Satellite P300-135 system issues using two HARD drives

  About a month ago I bought a faster hard drive for my laptop (because it wasn't hard drive 5400 RPM by default), and computer technicians to the store where I bought my laptop has recommended a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 250410.

  The first couple of days everything went smooth, but after that, every second, restart my OS (Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit) reports of problems with my video card, sometimes 'Windows cannot initialize the device of this hardware driver. (Code 37) ", the other time"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. " (Code 43) ", and when this error occurs, the keyboard and the keyboard do not work too.
  I made a simple and primitive diagnosis by deleting the second hard drive and rebooted 5 or 6 times, and everything went very well.

  So I think the problem is that the laptop has not enough power for two hard disks. Is it true, or is my phone begins to fail?

  Sorry for my mistakes of language, but English is my second language.

  Hello

  Usually the second HDD should not affect the performance of the system, but it of impossible
  So maybe you should test the specifications and performance of OS using another HARD drive maybe a HARD disk that takes in charge of 5400 RPM

• Can satellite M70 - I use all hard drives 2.5 "?

  All HDD 2.5 "can be put in Satellite M70 or they must have specific dimensions? For example, I thin on Samsung spinpoint [model: http://www.pricerunner.com/pl/36-765680/Hard-Drives/Samsung-SpinPoint-T166-320GB-SATAII-7200rpm-Compare-Prices].

  It will be OK for my laptop?

  Hello!

  As far as I know the Satellite M70 was available with hard drives SATA and IDE hard drives. If you have a SATA HDD, you can use this HARD drive.

  The Satellite M70 takes to load only SATA150 (SATA1) but this isn't a problem. All SATA2 HDDs runs SATA1 mode and are 100% compatible.

• Using the HARD drive of a Tecra A4 as a for another laptop external HARD drive.

  I have a Toshiba Tecra A4. I want to use the HARD drive as a second hard drive to another laptop, but it seemed to me that the HDD in Tecra A4 has a special bond that does not fit in a standard externel HDD-Bay. Anyone know how I can use the HARD Tecra A4 drive as an external HARD drive?

  Subquestion: is it not possible to use a 2.5 "HARD drive normal in a Toshiba Tecra A4?

  Hello

  AFAIK Tecra A4 has 2.5 inch HDD inside. But the HARD drive has another connector HARD drive that you can remove. The HARD drive is placed in the HARD drive chassis and fixed with four screws. Remove the screw and the connector. Be very carefully and take it easy.

  After that you can use in other laptops.

• 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.

• Using another hard drive to brand in lenovo

  I own a Lenovo Thinkpad R61(8920-B6U) and think to increase storage capacity. It came with 160GB and I'll bring to 250 or 320 GB. In this regard, I have two questions:

  (1) my laptop will support a 320 GB hard drive?

  (2) can I use a hard drive other than lenovo in my notebook?  For example, I was thinking about buying a mobile hard disk WD Scorpio Black.

  Pending a positive and quick feedback!

  Welcome to the forum!

  The answers to your questions are Yes and Yes.

  FYI, Lenovo doesn't make its own hard disks but installs those manufactured by Hitachi, Fujitsu, etc. from Seagate.

  I hope this helps.
