How much hard drive capacity do I need?

Beyond, Inc. - Frequently Asked Questions
Native DV takes up a lot of hard drive storage. Approximately 4.5 minutes of footage fits in a gigabyte (1 hr takes 13 GB). This is why all our systems come with a lot of hard disk space, e.g. our lowest-end system has 80 gigabytes or >6 hours of full resolution DV. Hard drive space is one of the first things people want to upgrade after purchasing their system. This is what lead to the 1 Beyond removable cartridge being standard.

Q) 4.4 How can get rid of my slow stock Hard Drive and get a faster and larger capacity version?

moons.Com - Reviews of the Saturn Aftermarket
PS/2's are notorious for slow, low capacity hard drives. The Model 50's 20MB drive has 80ms access! The easiest way to go is to add a SCSI or ESDI card. SCSI in general offers better performance, the ability to add up to 7 peripherals and easy to find drives. ESDI offers more UNIX compatibility (though with new drivers this will change) and was stock on some PS/2's, most now use SCSI. If you have SCSI or ESDI already you can add at least one more drive no problem.

Question 2: How large a capacity of hard disk drive can NT support?

Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: NT can view a maximum partition size of 2 terabytes (or 2,199,023,255,552 bytes), however there are limitations that restrict you well below this number. FAT has internal limits of 4 GB due to the fact that it uses 16-bit fields to store file sizes, 2^16 is 65,536 with a cluster size of 64 KB gives us the 4 GB. HPFS uses 32-bit fields and can therefore handle greater sized disks, but the largest single file size is 4 GB.

Why is my hard drive not formatting to desired capacity?

Run FDISK option 4 to display partition information. Make sure drive is at correct capacity and is showing 100% usage. If CMOS settings are correct but FDISK shows a capacity of 504MB or less (and drive is larger than 504MB), then you need to delete all existing partitions. After verifying that no partitions exist (FDISK option 4), exit from FDISK and at the A:\> prompt, run FDISK/MBR [Enter]. This will re-write the Master Boot Record.

How do I know what the capacity of my iPod's hard drive is?

iPod Accessories FAQs
Most hard disk producers compute disk mass this method: 1 MB = 1 million bytes. A 5 GB hard disk, as a result, is one that grips 5 billion bytes. Computers, as well as the Macintosh and iPod, gauge disk mass this method: 1 MB = 1,048,576 bytes. The disparity in these two computations is what causes the disk to come into view as 4.6 GB or 9.2 GB on a computer, but in fact be a 5-billion byte or 10-billion byte hard disk. For larger iPods multiply 4.6 by the real augment in mass e.g.

Can I install a larger hard drive with this mod?

Xbox Media Center Installation FAQ - ProductWiki, unbiased p...
Yes - After the mod is installed you can install a larger hard drive. Take care though, that when you go on Live Microsoft stores the Xbox's serial number and HDD serial number. So if you go on Live again after switching the hard drive, they'll notice the difference and ban you good. Here's a guide on how to install a new HDD. It's pretty advanced though so make sure you can do it without fritzing your drive. Personally, I see no need for a larger hard drive since I just stream all my media.

Can I use a hard drive larger than 15GB?

Unofficial Sun Blade 100 FAQ
Sun advertise the Sun Blade 100 in several supported configurations, and it does seem from their literature that the largest hard drive configuration supported is 2 x 15GB. You can use a drive of any capacity supported by OpenBoot though. I've replaced the 15GB Seagate drive with a 40GB Western Digital, for instance (the Seagate is quite slow and noisy). I had no problems at all doing this, either from the software or the hardware.

Do I need a BIOS update to use the full capacity of a drive larger than 2.1 GB?

Frequently Asked Questions: Hard Disk issues
Computer Doctor: It may be necessary, but first you should make sure that you have used the correct information for setting the jumpers. Many drive makers supply two sets of instructions: one set of jumper settings is used for systems whose BIOSes can use the drive's full capacity, and a second set of settings that may be referred to as "spare" or "alternate" or "reduced capacity". These settings reduce the reported size of the drive to 2.

Why does my hard drive report less capacity than indicated on the drive's label?

ATMT Hardware |
Hard drive manufacturers market drives in terms of decimal (base 10) capacity. In decimal notation, one megabyte (MB) is equal to 1,000,000 bytes, and one Gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes. Programs such as FDISK, system BIOS, and Windows use the binary (base 2) numbering system. In the binary numbering system, one megabyte is equal to 1,048,576 bytes, and one gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. Simply put, decimal and binary translates to the same amount of storage capacity.

If I have a single big capacity hard drive then why to use RAID instead of Hard drives?

RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) systems are faster and more durable than single large hard disk drives. A RAID system stripes or mirrors your data across multiple hard disk drives. Therefore, when you access your data, all the disks are working at the same time, giving a major increase in speed. The RAID hardware controller also contains a large memory cache which dramatically increases performance.
