Looking for advice on some esoteric custom desktops that my father is trying to restore for the non-profit where he volunteers. Basically he was required to wipe the hard drives, and with them the recovery volumes. Doh! Can't for the life of us find/figure out a system disk that might take.

ELI5: How did capacity increase in hard disk drives?

Strictly speaking of hard drives with spinning platters: how did they increase in storage capacity over time? For instance, my first PC had 20 Gigabytes of storage, which was good at the time. Now, hard drives of the same physical size can have multiple terabytes.

In case I wasn't the only one wondering: you can in fact install Linux without removable media by booting the installer in a VM and attaching your hard drive as a raw disk, and it's only ever so slightly painful.

Recover / Mount WD Elements 5TB External Hard Drive HDD ( Disk Drill )

Hi everyone ! 😊

I am facing the issue that my external hard drive , a 5TB external HDD from Western Digital isn't showing up in my finder anymore.

I tried first aid but unfortunately without success. The drive does not mount anymore.

Now I am having a scan on the hard drive with disk drill ( by cleverfiles ) and I can see literally everything that is on the hard drive.

The only two things I am still struggling with, is the fact that so many people (on this platform) recommended not to buy it ( the premium version ) because it appears to be 'garbage'.

And I dont know why ?! ... I dont know what a recovery software can do wrong ?! πŸ˜‚

Either it does the job or it does not. Am I wrong ?! πŸ˜ƒ

Do you maybe have any other ideas or solution ? Maybe even a cheaper one ?

I would be glad if you could help πŸ–€ πŸ•Š

Replacing the main hard disk drive on a T430: what sort of compatibility issues could I run into?

Hi, I'm looking to replace my hard disk drive (the one under the usb ports, not the one that can be put in the caddy instead of the DVD drive). I'm looking it up online, and it looks like most people are able to just install typical 2.5"/7mm SATA SSDs. I've also looked in the maintenance manual, but can't find anything about compatibility risks. Can you guys clear me on whether there are any compatibility risks, and things I should avoid buying? I'm super unfamiliar with computer hardware and any restrictions they come with.

Thanks

Anyone know what WD MFM drives might work in a Commodore 9090 Hard Disk?

I'm just going through my new-to-me, untested CBM 9090. Here's all I know (below). In the event that I have to replace the drive itself, is it as easy as finding another WD MFM drive of similar size, or is it going to have to be a TM603S or TM602S?

Thanks!

Dave

TANDON TM603S (TM602S)

Tandon became WD, so it’s WD MFM drive

D9090; 153 Cylinders Γ— 6 Heads Γ— 32 Sectors Γ— 256 Bytes/sector equals 7.52 MB
