hard drive

Currently I have 3 HDs in my G4 Server, but one of them is in the zip drive bay. I want to get it out of there and maybe add another drive, but I need an IDE controller. Are there any good, inexpensive options?

CalDigit's AV Pro 2 apparently also acts as a USB 3 hub, which is pretty handy considering I have a 2016 rMBP. Are there any other drives out there that do this? I'm in the market for a Time Machine backup drive and I'd love to know what my options are. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, This is my first thread on a non BMW (my car) or Audi (gf's car) forum, but for the first time in a long time I need help with my computer. Ironic given that's how I make my living. Now that I am 20, my technological needs have changed and I have decided I now have enough media...

Hello, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place - so hopefully I am or someone can redirect me! About a month ago I stupidly stood on the right hand corner of my Macbook Pro... Directly on top of where the hard drive can be found! I straight away opened my mac and I'd completely cracked...

Article from carbon copy cloner: https://bombich.com/blog/2017/09/29/think-twice-before-encrypting-your-hfs-volumes-on-high-sierra This was a surprise to me so thought i'd share: CCC discovered if you encrypt your HFS+ formatted drive in High Sierra it will convert it to APFS without telling...

I had about 450GB of free space on my primary drive on Sierra. After the High Sierra upgrade it dropped to 150GB. I used OmniDiskSweeper and the files sum upto about 520GB. I have a 1TB SSD! Can't figure out what's eating the rest of the space. About the mac shows system files as 400GB. That's...

I'm working on a friend's MacBook Pro that would start to a flashing folder with a question mark. The directory was out of whack, so I repaired that. Then found out the hard drive is physically failing, so I cloned everything over to a new drive. I still had problems with drives being recognized...

I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.11.6 with a 1.5 TB hard drive. It stopped booting up correctly, crashing about halfway through startup each time. At least I have time machine backups on an external drive. Tried to boot up in safe mode but it powers down about halfway through...

Hi all. So I bought a new HD for my Macbook Pro mid-2012. I've installed Mountain Lion (lol) onto the HD from my other Macbook, in recovery mode. So I've plugged the HD in, started in recovery mode, and nothing's showing on Disk Utility – except for a 'disk0' drive with 'Mac OS X Base System'...

I have got a Macbook Pro 13 inch from early 2015 with Retina Display, that was purchased late last year and has the OS Sierra on it, and it's got a 128GB storage, I am going to be purchasing an upgrade for it. What will still be there when I change out the hard-drive?

I am working with one of our clients who is using a Mac (that we do not usually support) but I have been working with them to move over files to an external drive. We copied their entire user library (say 700GB) and moved it over to the drive without any issues. What we have tried to do since is...

Hi All, This is my very first post, and hope it is appropriate for this part of the Forum. I needed to upgrade from my old windows Desktop & Laptop Windows 10 PC's and decided to take the plunge and go for a top of the range MacBook Pro to hopefully replace both systems. I'm relatively happy...

Hey, guys! So I currently own a MacBook Pro 15" from late 2011 (w/ the optical drive). It's got a 2.2 GHZ Intel Core i7 with 8GB of memory and an Intel HD Graphics card. I've also got a 1TB SATA Disk. I'm wanting to switch to a lighter laptop, but still want to save my money. So I was...

Hi, With my old Mac Hard Drive plugged into my new mac as an external HD, is it possible to locate Time Machine Backups from the old hard drive? If so, where? Thanks.

Hi, just created an account here to ask one question.. I have recovered my hard drive from my old Mac and have it plugged into my new one. How do I access the hidden Library folder that you usually access using "~/Library/Application Support"? Except the one that is on my old Hard Drive? Hope I...

Hi :) I have to replace my hard drive on my iMac A1418 (EMC 2544) - The original hard drive: APPLE HDD HTS541010A9E662 MEDIA SATA 1TB Will I have to find the exact same hard drive? or is it possible to install another SATA hard drive? Thanks!

I'm thrilled at the idea of Apple's new file system. More stability? Faster? Better error protection? Yes please. As a video professional, under-the-hood improvements like these are way more interesting to me than the cosmetic and incremental updates of the last few versions of macOS. But quick...

Hi everyone, does Sandisk Ultra II 240GB Compatible on Macbook Pro Early 2011 13'3?

All, My hard drive failed so I replaced it with a crucial mx300 525gb. Now, whether my new or old hard drive is in, I cannot connect to web pages as it says the site is insecure/certificate cannot be trusted. I can't connect to iCloud because it says it can't establish a connection with the...
