After installation, I realized there was an amount unallocated free space (209,91 GB) I have involuntary partitioned. I tried to resize the disk several times through various tutorials and searches on google with no luck. Can anyone help?

  This is what happens when I try to resize via Internet Recovery Mode & Disk Utility:

  

  1. what software of cloning has been used?

  2 Please after the release of the following OS X Terminal commands?

• Prevent adding an extra internal SSD flash drive

  Hey guys,.

  I'm here for a bit of advice!

  I have an SSD in my Macbook Pro 2012. This is badass for a laptop, with 16 GB of Ram and read/write speeds crazy. However, I'm exhausted over space and want to RAID the * on the Mac. (Replacing the DVD/CD drive).

  Currently installed SSD - M500 Crucial 960 GB

  Looking for 2 SSD - Samsung 840 Evo or Evo 1 to 850

  

  Detailed statistics:2379vsm1436D http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Crucial-M500-960GB-vs-Samsung-840-Evo-1TB/m

  Now it is allowed? 2 different makes with different write speeds?

  Thanks for any help or advice!

  It is always better to match in size and speed SSD if you plan to run the RAID.

• Error - cannot install to root - CC want to put cc aps internal SSD flash disk

  Error - cannot install to root - CC want to put cc aps internal SSD flash disk. (I know LR5 go on Mac OS disk...)

  But what about the rest of the aps?

  Thanks for the note Jeff... Finally, I have determined that you must create an Applications folder on the SSD drive. (Of course) Make sure that your installation in the CC office location points to the SSD...

  then all is good...

  LR5 (according to Adobe) MUST be present on your OS drive...  Thanks again!

• Bootcamp only gives me the option to install the secondary internal SSD flash disk. Mac Pro mid-2010

  I have a Mac Pro (mid 2010) and spin El Capitan (10.11.5). I have an SSD that I boot OSX of. I have a 4 TB harddrive that store data on. And I just installed a Virgin SSD (same type as my drive OSX) I want to install Windows 8 on. When you run Bootcamp, it only gives me the option to install Windows on my hard drive of 4 TB. He's going right to the start screen of the screen asking me how large, I would like to partition. No SSD is given as an option. The new SSD is shown in disk utility and in the Finder. I tried to format it in FAT, ExFAT, and OS X Extended, but it is not yet appear in bootcamp. I also tried to boot from the installation DVD, but nothing seemed to happen. What should I do?

  If the SSD (s) is not connected directly to the MacPro SATA connectors, you will have problems. Of your SSD are supported on a SATA connection?

• Installation internal SSD drive and storage of documents on external hard drive

  Hello!

  I have an older iMac and I want to speed it up by installing a SSD drive.  Currently, my internal hard drive has 2 TB of storage, and I don't want to pay for one SSD of this size.  I consider the use of an external drive for my files and using the SSD internal applications and the operating system.  Can this work?  What is the internal SSD of minimum size I should get, more or less, according to my number of apps?   The documents will open at a decent speed?   It is up to me to use an external hard drive with a Firewire instead of USB connection?  Thank you!

  Hi Dan:

  Apps it really depends how much you use and what types of data you want to keep in vs SSD HARD drive.

  120-128 GB SSD: USD price: 60-70 price range.

  for 250/256 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 80-90

  for 500/512 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 130-150

  An external 2 TB drive: for laptop (USB bus-powered - usually 2.5 "HDD included): 90 us $, for the largest 3.5" Office style HDD: 90 USD

  For me:

  I store all my music on the external network drive (RAID 1 configuration, 2 TB, and 50 percent full this time), all my documents/pictures are still in my 500 GB SSD.

  I don't have much video projects on my SSD.

  

  I used about 200 GB in my internal SSD flash drive

  Good luck finding your best solution.

• 1 TB SSD/Flash internal, more room inside?

  Howdy Yall,

  I just bought an iMac 27 "and went with a 1 TB hard drive"Flash"or SSD internal.  I realize that a hard 'Flash' is not really a 'hard' at least not in the traditional sense.  But...

  My question is... is there room inside the iMac 27 inches to install another drive "Flash"?  Or should I go with an external SSD if I want more space?

  If I need to go with an external, what is the best factor of form or style?  I know that it would be preferable to be style crush and not USB 3...  Can anyone recommend some current SSD that would be a good complement to the 1 TB internal SSD/Flash I already have?

  Thank you

  Do you mean that you went with a hybrid HDD/SSD or disc Fusion? The first is a HARD drive with a small amount of flash memory used for cached data. Although a bit faster than a HARD drive, it is much slower than a full SSD. The new iMacs don't use standard 2.5-inch SSD. They use variable size PCIe flash drives. This flash memory is combined with the internal HARD disk to make the Fusion drive. There's no room inside to add an another SSD.

  You can have added storage by connecting an external drive of any factor of size and shape of give. For maximum speed, use an external SSD connected using Thunderbolt. For a little more slow speed using USB 3.0. The latter is less expensive.

  The best naked SSD is OCZ, OWC, and Samsung.

• Why is my 64 GB USB Flash Drive "not a backup location valid?

  I tried to turn it to a previous question, but reading of the Code of conduct for this forum, I discovered that it was inappropriate to do that.  My apologies for this.

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit SP1, installed using Toshiba recovery disks (I have a new Toshiba laptop, when I got the system I opted to not have a recovery partition).  I just cleaned all the bloatware off Windows, ran Windows Update until there was no more updates for (achieved in this way SP1), and now I have a fresh and clean windows installation, which has never even been to a single Web site.  Now, I am trying to create a system image on a 64 GB flash drive (I won't even finish by using half of it, as my SSD has only about 19 GB used, and which includes the hibernation file (I disabled the pagefile, because paging files are unkind to SSDs))

  Before, I asked if it was possible to manually create a System Image of Windows 7 on a USB Flash drive (big), and I got two answers 'Yes' to two stars of the community. (See my question here)  It is also stated that it is possible on windows.microsoft.com, here.  Note that when windows.microsoft.com stipulates "the system image must be saved on a hard drive, reference is made to automatic creating system images.  If you keep reading, you'll see that the page says that if you want to manually create a a system image, this image of the system may be recorded on optical discs, a USB Flash drive or a hard drive.  If it is possible, then why will I have the following problem?

  64 GB USB Flash Drive inserted--> closed Autoplay dialogue--> Opened "My Computer"--> Right-clicked drive E (my flash drive) and the selected format--> Unchecked 'Quick Format'--> size of the NTFS system chosen and 4096 bytes of cluster--> Clicked 'Format' and acknowledged that all the data will be deleted--> waited a while for the form to fill out, then clicked OK--> closed 'My Computer'--> ejected my flash player by clicking on 'remove hardware safely'--> physically unplugged flash drive--> Grabbed a diet coke with ice--> inserted 64 GB USB Flash drive--> AutoPlay dialog closed--> opens the start--> Clicked "All programs" Menu--> clicked maintenance--> click Backup and Restore Center--> clicked on create System Image--> (scans of program for storage devices)--> my flash drive appears under "on a hard drive" and the words 'the drive is not a valid backup location' appear under my FlashDrive being listed.  For reference, "on one or more DVDs" appears just below the text saying "the drive is not a valid backup location."

  My understanding is that what I just tried to do is create an image of the system on an NTFS partition formatted (with a 4 KB cluster size) 64 GB USB Flash Drive.  But it is not letting me!  I understand that I can't plan the creation of automatic system for USB Flash drives, but according to windows.microsoft.com image and two stars of the community, it is indeed possible to "manually" create a system image on a large USB Flash drive, which I think is what I just tried to do.  If there is another way to create a system image, even more 'manually' than what I do (I'm certainly not afraid of the command line, if I need to use it I'm more than happy to do so), please let me know.

  I have a low-quaility SATA 3.0 Gbit/s notebook HDD in an enclosure USB powered bus at low prices, and I was able to create a system on that image.  However, I expect this device to fail shortly.  I also managed to create a system image on a DVD-r virgins.  I did, however, just spend $85 on a 64 GB USB Flash Drive specifically to store an image of the system, which I expect to use to back up Windows 7 with World of Warcraft installed (total size of drive C will be approximately 50 GB; I have not yet downloaded WoW; "I want to overcome this first).

  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thank you!

  1st edit: adding links so people would not need to copy and paste to their address bar and said the last sentence of the last paragraph.

  I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum is frought with for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Two me are familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 7 years without the 1st problem) and Memeo, which has 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from http://memeo.com. You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

  CNET has a lot of reviews of backup program to

  http://download.CNET.com/Windows/backup-software/?tag=contentBody;sideBar.

  Some of them are free (the last time I checked there are 315), some have free trials (more), and some are buying only (more than 200).

  Good luck.

• Why does movement of files on a USB flash drive last so long?

  I don't know if this is a Windows problem, but when I move a lot of files/folders (no copy, but select, then drag, or cut and paste) a place on the USB to another place on the flash drive, it takes much longer than the same hard disk.

  What is a Windows problem or a problem of flash player?

  If Windows is somehow move the files into pieces on the hard drive, then moving them back to the flash drive, I could see that as being the reason, but this seems very inefficient. If Windows says just the flash drive to move files and it does itself, I wonder if it is an inefficiency in the flash drive (or formatting) or just the nature of how flash drives move some files.

  I don't know that you have understood my problem. I moved the files to the flash drive from one folder to another on the flash drive. When I move tons of files in a folder on the Windows Installer by car, no matter where the records are or the number of files/folders are moved, it usually happens instantly and occasionally perhaps takes a fraction of a second or two; I know it's simply by changing the index (do not physically move the files). With a USB flash drive, it takes seconds to minutes, depending on how much is moved, which is usually much less to install on the windows drive. It's because flash player must physically move the files on the disk, there is no index to put it as on a fixed drive.  In addition the only way to move is to copy in memory, and then write it to the new location.  This means that each overflow bit must go through the USB connection (which is thousands of times slower than SATA cable on the real hard disk), and since then he has to go twice (in and out), it is even half as slow as new.

  There is no transfer between the hard drive and the flash player I know.

  What this means for me, it is the index or take more time to rewrite, or files are actually moved. What I'm asking is if Windows is somehow data transfer (even if it's the index) drive flash disk, then moving them backwards, slowing things down. I think that even moving them by RAM would slow it down, but I'm not sure.  Also considers that the internal drive is cached. So even if a bit should be moved, Windows will just notice "Yes move this bit later."  The progress box says it completed instantly, but really uses lazy writeback just finish the job later.  That is why if you lose power to your computer, it corrupts the files got reported as fact, but were not actually written on the disc.  Flash drives do not use the lazy "write behind caching" because they never know when the user will disconnect unexpectedly, so that they take the slow lane and check writing all ended before they say the progress bar to advanced. 

  You can change this second element by setting your USB device to "best performance" in the device, as Manager below.  But I do not recommend because it cannot handle unplug you the reader more.

  

• Why are usb flash drives not NTFS formattable?

  Hi I have a few usb2 flash drives. Is there a reason they seem to not format it in NTFS? I can only select FAT32. I have maybe more old stock... Win XP Home SP3 and Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP2.

  I have:

  -Lexar JumpDrive VE: 8 GB - reading 12 MBs, write 3 MBs

  -Sony Micro Vault Click (USM16GL): 16 GB - reading 18 MBs, writing 5 MBs

  -Patriot Memory bolt-

  PSF32GBTUSB: 32 GB - read 30 MBs, write 12 MBs

  Are SSD drives in the same way? I thought that SSDS have been NTSF.

  Thank you.

  First of all, the format is NTFS, not NTFS.  Secondly, it should be no reason why you shouldn't be able to format as NTFS drives - I just grabbed one of mine to random (8 GB PNY) and was able to format to NTFS.  You may need to use disk management to remove existing partitions first.

• Why can't I eject my flash drives safely when you run Firefox?

  When I market/internet browsing on Firefox. I can't eject my flash drives safely. each time, I get this:

  "Problem ejecting USB Mass Storage device - this legacy is currently in use. Close any programs or windows that might be using the device, and then try again. »

  Flash drives are not used most of the time, except when I record something for them. Nothing is using them and all the stops and other things are accomplished, but I can't safely eject when Firefox is running. I have to close Firefox to eject safely. I can't in safe mode, however. Is a weird glitch, or something else happens with Firefox?

  I found the culprit using Process Explorer. It is RecordingManager.exe which is part of the extension RealDownloader 1.3.0 from RealNetworks Inc.. I could see it was making reference to my letter of the USB drive, don't have however no idea why it was.

  Kill the RecordingManager.exe process while leaving the FF running meant I could now eject the USB key.

  Deactivation of the FF extension has prevented the problem from happening again.

• Satellite U920T: Change internal SSD 128 GB to 500 GB of SSD drive

  The internal drive SSD 128 GB of my Toshiba Satellite U920T-101 is to small.
  How can I change the internal SSD 128 GB a new 500 GB SSD drive.
  Is there a manual to change SSD?

  Thank you very much.

  Because of the design specific SSD should be upgraded to authorized service. To have full access to build SSD almost the entire machine must be dismantled, so I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and seek advice and they can help you with this.
