Power Mac G5 :: Maximum Limit For Hard Drive Size
Like the G4's before it(not including MDD), do the G5 Quads have a limit on hard drive size? I was wondering what the max size for a hard drive is for the G5 Quad, or can one go up to 4 terabytes?
Information:
MDD 2003 Dual 1.25 w/ 2MB L3 Cache/2GB
Mac OS X (10.5.6)
G5 Quad Core 2.5 w/4GB DDR2 memory

MacBook Pro :: What Determines Maximum Hard Drive Size
What deteremines the max hard drive for the early 08 macbook pro's? Is it the physical height? or is there a gb limit? I saw this 500gb barracuda drive at bestbuy for $80 running at 7200 rpm and 16mb cache buffer. so it sounds good. But is there anything coming out soon with higher rpm's or higher capacities for laptops? i know theres ssd but thats expensive and low capacity compared to sata for now.

MacBook Pro :: Maximum Hard Drive Physical Size For 13" Mid - 2010 Model
I'm planning to replace the hard drive in a MacBook Pro 13" mid-2010 - its the latest model just purchased. I've searched the discussions on replacing the hard drive, and I've seen conflicting information on whether the 13.3" Macbook Pro will accept the 12.5mm height drives, or only the 9.5mm height drives. And Apple support is no help - they don't know. Can someone confirm exactly, whether the 12.5 mm drives will fit or not? Information: MacBook Pro 13" mid 2010 model Mac OS X (10.6.5)

Power Mac G5 :: Hard Drive Size / Buffer Compatibility
Am I limited as to the GB size or other specs, (other than case size), in installing a second drive in my G5? Is there a Gb limit that it can't handle? A buffer rate that it can't handle or is overkill? I need to get a HD for it ASAP, preferably tonight, and need to know what limitations I have if any.

Power Mac G5 :: Upgrading Hard Drive To Larger Size?
I have a power mac G5 2.7 that is 2.5 years old. It came configured with two 400GB drives inside as it will only hold two. I now really want to change them out to either two 750 GB or preferably two 1TB drives. Apple, however, has told me it won't work and that my unit will not handle this huge additional power consumption. I have called mac mall and they say no way as well. OWC says they have many working like that and its never been a problem. Then I called Apple again and they said it will work fine. I have 6 more months of Apple care, but either way do not want to blow the interior of this system up. I know I need SATA drives and would ideally like to purchase the Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.

Power Mac G5 :: Hard Drive Crashed - "Invalid B-tree Node Size"
I have a power mac G5 quad and my main hard drive failed. I have tried Disk Utility, Data Rescue and Drive Genius. Some of the errors that I am getting are: Invalid B-tree node size This volume could not be verified completely Disk Utility cannot repair the disk I removed the hard drive from the tower and tried to load it via the "Voyager" - a USB hard drive dock. The drive won't mount and I get the same errors. I have also tried to attach the Voyager to 2 other mac computers. I tried putting the hd in the freezer overnight. Sometimes the drive clicks but still no data recovery. Should I get Disk Warrior? Information: powermac g5 Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Final Cut Pro :: Set Maximum Limit To Audio?
Is there a way to set a maximum limit to the audio in the FCP timeline? Example: I don't want the audio to go past the -12 level. I remember my midi software having the ability to draw a audio line on the sequencing software and any audio above the line would be cut off or squashed at that volume. I did try Soundtrack Pro "normalize", but this method also affects the softer audio and squashes the lower levels too. I just want to top off the louder passeges. Information: iMac Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Mac QuickTime :: Frame Size Limit In Snow Leopard?
I seem to have hit a frame size limit where movies with widths greater than 8192 pixels wide do not display correctly in QuickTime or Export correctly from QT7. The files are being created by After Effects CS3, and larger files can be reused as source material with no problems - yet any rendered movies do not display previews or play back in either QTX or QT7. Any attempts to Export files larger than 8192 pixels wide from QT7 will also result in a " qtKitErrorCatchAll (-6660) " error. This was not the case under QT 7.6.3 under Leopard - we've been generating extremely wide LED fascia strip animations for sports venues for many years and haven't seen this type of bug since one of the incremental QT7.2.x upgrades way back... I'm hoping that somebody else has experienced this issue as well, and perhaps large frame size compatibility can be restored in future QTX and QT7 for Snow Leopard updates based on this information.

IMac Intel :: What Is Maximum Capacity Hard Drive That Computer Can Accept?
I have a 20" Core 2 Duo iMac (mid-2007, I believe) and am looking to upgrade the internal hard drive to a larger one. Can anyone help me with a few questions about this? 1. What is the maximum capacity hard drive that this computer can accept? At the time of purchase, 500GB was the largest pre-configuration option, but there are now many 2TB drives on the market... 2. What specific specs should I look for in a replacement drive? Has anyone had a good (or bad) experience with a particular model on the market? 3. How involved is the replacement process? Is this a do-it-at-home sort of thing? (Note that I do not have a large suction cup to pull out the screen...) If not, how much should it cost to have it professionally done? 4. Is there a quick way to confirm that I have correctly identified my iMac as a Mid-2007 before buying a drive that may not work with an older model? Information: iMac (Mid-2007) Mac OS X (10.6.4)

MacBook Pro :: Hard Drive Replacement (Supported Maximum Capacity)
I bought my Macbook Pro in February or March of 2006 and it's still running strong. The hard drive, however, is full and I'd like to get a new, larger, faster one. I'm aware that I need a SATA drive and that it's form factor should be 2.5". I'm also aware that the max transfer rate for my drive is 1.5 Gb/s, can I use one that is 3.0 Gb/s? I think the current drive is 4200 or 5400 RPM, can I use one that is 7200RPM (this computer is mostly used while on AC power)? What about maximum capacity? Are there any limitations due to BIOS or the motherboard? Here is the drive I'm looking at, please let me know if this will work or if you have a similar, better solution. Here are some of the specs from my MBP: Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro1,1 Processor Name: Intel Core Duo Processor Speed: 2 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 2 MB Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 667 MHz Boot ROM Version: MBP11.0055.B08 SMC Version (system): 1.2f10 TOSHIBA MK1032GSX: Capacity: 100.03 GB (100,030,242,816 bytes) Model: TOSHIBA MK1032GSX Revision: AS024B Native Command Queuing: Yes Queue Depth: 32 I'm looking for at least a couple of different peoples' opinions, or if you have a link that points to replacement HD requirements that would also be very helpful.

Intel Mac :: External Hard Drive Size Choice?
I am having issues with my iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 (Random freezing up). I took it to the local Apple Store and an associate suggested I back up my hard drive before bring it in for diagnosis. He suggested a 2 TB external drive but others have told me that is way too large. I have heard everything from nothing larger than a 500 GB drive and even one self proclaimed computer wizzard says I can get by with a 10 GB thumb drive. What is the right size and if it is a 1 or 2 TB drive, why do I need such a large one.

Power Mac G5 :: Upgrading Internal Hard Drive Want To Move It Up To A 1Tb Drive?
I have a Dual 2GHz G5 currently with a factory fitted 250Gb drive. I want to move it up to a 1Tb drive if possible.I have been looking at Amazon.co.uk (I'm in the UK) and although several 1Tb drives are listed (Samsung, Hitachi, Western Digital etc), none specify Mac-compatibility, and they all appear to be different shapes and sizes, and there's quite a variety in price as well.What should I be looking for? Are they all Mac-compatible? How easy are they to fit? Information: Dual G5 Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Power Mac G5 :: Which Drive Bay Should Have In Hard Drive In
I noticed that my local supplier had Hitachi Deskstar HDS722020ALA330 2TB (SATA II) 7K2000 for $170 so I decided to buy 2. I popped out the Samsung and popped in one of the new drives into bay B. I created 2 partitions then rebooted with my Leopard disk and installed the OS on the new drive and copied all my data from the old Hitachi (which has been my main drive). System rebooted onto the new drive and I ran a software update. I shutdown, popped both drives out and moved the new system disk to drive bay A and added the Samsung to Bay B. I then tried to reboot.

OS X :: File Size Limit For Icon Preview?
I'm relatively new to using a Mac seriously, having just acquired a lovely new MBP with Snow Leopard installed. I may be missing something obvious, but is there a way to limit the icon preview feature to just showing previews for files less than a certain size? My background is with Linux, and KDE provides a configurable file size cut off above which icon previews are not shown. I ask because I've got a folder full of large (ie 16GB) ASCII files full of output from some scientific algorithms. Whenever I browse to that folder, the Quick Look Helper eats up all 8GB of my system memory before the OS kills it off and it moves on to the next file. This is *really* irritating. So, is there a way to limit icon preview's behaviour to small (ie normal) files, or do I just have to turn it off completely?
