  2. OmniDiskSweeper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OmniDiskSweeper

    OmniDiskSweeper is a freeware disk space analyzer utility for macOS developed by The Omni Group, which recursively searches the filesystem and displays entries sorted and color-coded by size, from largest to smallest.

  3. Apple Partition Map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Partition_Map

    Because APM allows 32 bits worth of logical blocks, the historical size of an APM formatted disk using small blocks [3] is limited to 2 TiB. [ 4 ] The Apple Partition Map maps out all space used (including the map) and unused (free space) on disk, unlike the minimal x86 master boot record that only accounts for used non-map partitions.

  4. Macintosh External Disk Drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_External_Disk_Drive

    The Macintosh can only support one external drive, limiting the number of floppy disks mounted at once to two, but both Apple and third party manufacturers developed external hard drives that connected to the Mac's floppy disk port, which had pass-through ports to accommodate daisy-chaining the external disk drive. Apple's Hard Disk 20 can ...

  5. Hierarchical File System (Apple) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_File_System...

    For example, on a 1 GB disk, the allocation block size under HFS is 16 KB, so even a 1 byte file would take up 16 KB of disk space. This situation was less of a problem for users having large files (such as pictures, databases or audio) because these larger files wasted less space as a percentage of their file size.

  6. File Allocation Table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table

    The limit on partition size was dictated by the 8-bit signed count of sectors per cluster, which originally had a maximum power-of-two value of 64. With the standard hard disk sector size of 512 bytes, this gives a maximum of 32 KB cluster size, thereby fixing the "definitive" limit for the FAT16 partition size at 2 GB for sector size 512.

    Protected memory was only added to Macintosh computers with the release of the Mac OS X operating system. According to Andy Hertzfeld, the Macintosh used for the introduction demo on January 24, 1984, was a prototype with 512k RAM, even though the first model offered for sale implemented just 128k of non-expandable memory. This prototype was ...

  8. Hard Disk 20 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_Disk_20

    The Hard Disk 20 (or HD20, as it was known colloquially) contains a 20 MB 3.5" Rodime hard disk which provides over 50 times the data storage of the stock 400 kB disk drive. At the time when the average file size was around 10-20 kB and due to the vast number of those files the HD20 can contain, Apple's original Macintosh File System , which ...

  9. Disk Utility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_Utility

    Disk Copy was used for creating and mounting disk image files whereas Disk Utility was used for formatting, partitioning, verifying, and repairing file structures. The ability to "zero" all data (multi-pass formatting) on a disk was not added until Mac OS X 10.2.3 . [ 5 ]
