How many firewire disks ???

how many firewire disks can i connect to my mac mini, so it has only one port, and what is the difference between macs equipped with two ports instead of one, there are two different firewire cards or it is just like an internal hub
thanks

The FireWire bus will allow you to connect 67 devices to a single bus. However, I believe the limit of the Finder and the HFS+ (Mac OS Extended) format only allows for 23 different hard drives to appear on your Desktop. You may still be able to mount more, but I'm not entirely sure they'll all be visible on the Desktop...

    How many firewire g-drives can I daisy chain on my mac mini

    From personal experience, if they are bus powered portable drives,
    the answer is none.  For what ever reason, they are draw a lot of
    power and are probably near the edge of the bus powering specs.
    Then again, these were the fastest of all the portable FW drives that
    I have (Iomega and Seagate being the others), which may have
    something to do with it.
    I had also noticed an issue with them even with USB.  Plugging one
    into the Mini or even a powered USB hub would be fine, but 2 would cause
    both to be inaccessible, unless I used a couple of USB "Y" cables
    that would distribute the power across other ports.
    If they are externally powered, you could string a bunch.

  • How many Firewire busses?

    Hi there,
    i just wonder how many firewire busses (NOT ports) my MacPro actually has... There is very few documentation about this. So maybe are the front ports on their own bus, or share all ports the same bus?
    I ask cos i want to know if i have to buy an additional firewire card if i want to plug an audio interface and an additional device...
    Thanks a lot, best regards
    Flo

    Hi Flo,
    sadly (?) I have a 2006 Mac Pro and not a 2009
    But with my usage being mostly external harddrives I have no problems connecting and using more than one of them at the same time.
    No downfall speedwise.
    But with a firewire audio device the mileage might vary.
    Best to have a look at the manufacturer websites or Communities dealing with firewire audio devices for user experiences.

  • How many free disk space after install OS X lion (10.7) ?

    Hi,
    I would like to know that how many free disk space after install OS X lion (10.7) on MBA i5.
    Many Thanks,
    Eric

    I want to buy MBA i5, I would like to free disk space of MBA 13" i5, Could anyone tell it to me? Thanks
    As you're buing a new MacBook Air, it will come pre-installed with Lion.  The actual installation will be somewhat larger than a "clean" Lion install as it will come with iLife preinstalled.  Obviously, with an Air's limited storage space, you want to be sure that you have enough room for any applications and data that you'll want to keep on the SSD as well.  It is fairly easy to upgrade the SSD on an Air:

    The amount of RAM you have installed is probably more important.  Fortunately, the newest 13" MacBook Airs all come with 4GB standard now.

  • How many firewire devices..?

    So I have a dual 2.0 G5 with an RME fireface and a Mackie Onyx 400f chained together and acting as an aggregate device over firewire (400). All well and good. But I'd now like to add an external firewire hard drive (or two), and possibly a PowerCore firewire.
    I imagine I can't go on chaining devices forever, so I guess my question is, how many devices can I add before I start seeing problems? Is a couple of audio interfaces and a couple of hard drives too many already, without throwing a PowerCore into the mix?
    Would appreciate advice from anyone who already has a whole bunch of devices chained... how's it working out for you?
    Thanks!

    Miles:
    Currently, I have six. No problems, but I'm not using similar devices.
    The only problem I ever had with multiple devices was the order they are chained, so you might have to experiment (usually I found that disks work best at the end of the chain).
    The max number is 63, 16 on one chain - so you have some room to grow

    I just bought an Ibook 12 inch and it came with 2 disks only Disk 1 and Disk 2

    It appears that disk 1 is a DVD. I am wondering if I am missing any other disks.
    How many disks were included with your ibook 12 inch?
    Thanks everyone

    Thanks for your Help Lyssa. I guess the only disk I am missing is World book 2005 but I think it might be included on the Install Disk 1 thanks

  • How many hard disks on G4/466???

    How is the maximum hard disks that I can connect into my G4/466? Now I have two hard disks... I want to add one more... is possible???
    Also: What can I do to accelerate my G4/466??? With System X there're some times is slowly than with system 9.2.2
    Thanks

    You can put 4 HD's in your DA G4 but you need to get a controller card. Get a SATA HD controller card. There are faster then ata/ide HD's & can be put in a G5, when the times comes.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/TSATA/
    Just make sure when you get the SATA HD you set the jumper pin to SATA 150/1.5 Mbs because the SATA drives on the market now are SATA II (300/3.0 Mbs)
    To make your G4 faster, 1st thing is max out the ram to 1.5gigs. OS X needs ram.
    Second is to upgrade the processor, stick w/ the 7455 processor w/ the L3 cache.

    If you're going to be running an IntelMac, you'll need to upgrade at least to version 5.1 (universal version) for it to run properly.

  • How many installation disk came with my MBP?

    I want to reformat my computer and I have only found 1 install disk. Is there suppose to be two?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum.
    There are two DVDs that come with your MBP. They are both kept in the same white CD sleeve, so if you've found one the other should be in the same place.
    The second DVD contains the iLife suite of applications.

  • How many disk for redundancy on Grid Infrastructure 11gR2 Installation?

    I would like too know, How many least disk for normal and high redundancy ?
    and please explain to me about structure of normal redundancy & high redundancy.

    Redundancy Level      Minimum Number of Disks
    External           1
    Normal                2
    High                3
    If you only have a disk, means you will not be able to implement normal/high redundancy. In external redundancy ASM presumes the data duplication is taken care at a storage level (e.g. mirrored SAN etc.).
    structure of normal redundancy & high redundancyRedundancy is actually a data duplication, so let say if a disk in a Disk Group1 fails, and there is a fail over Disk Group B, so ASM will continue operation.
    Must read note for you..
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28301/asm002.htm#ADMQS12079
    Extractions from the link..
    Failure groups are used to determine which ASM disks to use for storing redundant copies of data. example, if 2-way mirroring is specified for a file, ASM automatically stores redundant copies of file extents in separate failure groups.

  • How many Installs Can I do from a Snow Leopard Retail Disk?

    I have an old Snow Leopard Retail Disk (10.6.3) that I used a few years ago. Our Macs have mostly been upgraded to Lion since then, but we still have a 2007 iMac running Leopard and want to run some legacy third-party software. We need to upgrade that iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard, then upgrade via system update to 10.6.8 in order to run the legacy software.
    I know we used this Snow Leopard retail disk to upgrade one computer to Snow Leopard already, and we might have used the disk to install Snow Leopard on an external hard drive as well but I'm not sure as it was a few years ago and that hard drive may have been archived and placed in storage.
    My question is, is there a limited number of installs that we can do with this disk? Do we need to first uninstall Snow Leopard from one computer before we can install it on another?

    Unlike Windows, the DVD or CD versions of the Mac OS (Snow Leopard or earlier) have no serial number, or even keep track of how many times you've installed it. It's all on the honor system of following the license you have, which as mende1 noted, is either a single computer license, or five in one household (not shared with friends or relatives).
    Lion and Mountain Lion are a bit different. Macs that came with either OS have a machine specific version (for the necessary hardware drivers) and cannot be shared, other than with a 100% identical Mac. The App Store versions are intended for Macs that were released before the respective OS's, and contain only the hardware drivers for the Mac models they are listed to support.

  • How many external Firewire drives can I share at once?

    I have several external hard drives connected to my server. I appears that I can only share 4 of them at a time. I work in a high volume photography environment and store about 2TB every three months. I need to be able to share multiple external hard drives all at the same time. Is there a limit on how many drives or share points I can share at one time?

    As long as the drives have their own power supply (powered USB or Firewire 800 Hubs will do) they will run to their theoretical max which is more than several hundred. I think the Thunderbolt can be daisy chained out to a pretty large number too.

  • How many Disk do we store Flash back on?

    We used oracle 10G,
    we have archive logs 26G/day
    we think of flash back on.
    How many disk do we store flashback files?
    Please help us for informations, when we need oracle flashback?

    Are you asking about raid levels? If you are only copying your archive logs to one destination, then you should at least have your archivelog disk mirrored, if not a higher raid level like level 5. It would be advisable to archive to multiple locations. Remember, if you lose one of your logs before they can be backed up, you will lose data if you have to perform a recovery. The amount of disk space you would need would depend on how many archive logs you intend to keep available on disk. Also, are you using the flashback area for your rman backups? You would also need to have additional space for each of these backups you want to have available on disk. Remember, you can always backup archivelogs to tape and delete them.
    My general rule of thumb is that I like to only use up to 60% of a disk available for logfiles. This way if you have a large spike in DB use for a period of time you are not going to quickly run out of space. In this example if you generate 25G of archive and you want to keep 5 days worth, then you would generate 125G during this time period, I would probably want to have 200G of disk available to give you 60% normal usage.

  • I linux inode which contains 13 member array wich stores the actual block address of data .Similarly in windows how data is managed in disk ?. How many members in this array ?

    I linux inode which contains 13 member array wich stores the actual block address of data .Similarly in windows how data is managed in disk ?. How many members in this array ?

    Hello Vijay Nerkar,
    Your question is not related to Windows Forms General. What is the data you mean and also what is that array?
    If you are looking for something related to Windows File System, see some words here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system
    For example
    "Windows makes use of the
    FAT, NTFS,
    exFAT and ReFS file systems (the last of these is only supported and usable in
    Windows Server 2012; Windows cannot boot from it).
    Windows uses a drive letter abstraction at the user level to distinguish one disk or partition from another. For example, the
    path <tt>C:\WINDOWS</tt> represents a directory <tt>WINDOWS</tt> on the partition represented by the letter C. Drive C: is most commonly used for the primary hard disk partition, on which Windows is usually installed and from which it boots. This "tradition"
    has become so firmly ingrained that bugs exist in many applications which make assumptions that the drive that the operating system is installed on is C. The use of drive letters, and the tradition of using "C" as the drive letter for the primary hard disk
    partition, can be traced to
    MS-DOS, where the letters A and B were reserved for up to two floppy disk drives. This in turn derived from
    CP/M in the 1970s, and ultimately from IBM's
    CP/CMS of 1967.
