MBP FireWire 800 bus has corrupted 3 drives

Hello,
I have been working with a friend on a recording of their band. We recorded a 24 track Pro Tools 9 session of their latest show. Everything has been working flawlessly until last night.
I received a frantic call from my buddy yesterday telling me that his buss powered FW drive all of a sudden unmounted and now is unrecognizable by the system. When he plugs it in to the 800 port it powers up and is recognized by the system but says that it needs to be formatted. We checked it in disk utility but it says the drive is corrupted and cannot be repaired.
In an effort to recover the un-backed-up audio data he bought Pro Soft's disk recovery software. It was able to see the data on the drive so he started the recovery process. about 5 hours or so into the process the destination disk unmounted and is now unrecognizable by the system. Same error, the disk needs to be initialized and disk utility is unable to repair the problem.
Unfortunately he also hooked up his backup drive to the system and it became corrupted it as well after a few hours. (Not my suggestion).
Long story longer... We now have 3 drives that are full of data but cannot be recognized by any system. He tried mounting them on his girlfriends old Power-book but gets the same error. We also took the drives that have USB and hooked them up via USB but still have the same error.
I think he is going to have to send in the computer to apple care but I thought I would ask if anyone has any suggestions.
He has a newer MBP Core 2 Duo running 10.6.4
THANK YOU!

You may have overloaded the port, following the instructions below it should reset:
+1. Shut down the computer.+
+2. Disconnect all devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).+
+3. Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.+
+4. Plug the computer back in and turn it on.+
+5. Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.+

  • Firewire 800, 7200 rpm external drive options?

    I have a Early 2011 Macbook Pro (8,2). I'm looking for a speedy external harddrive to do video editing with. My internal drive is a 256GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD...not a lot of space to store video. So I'd like a fast external.
    Problem is, the few Firewire 800, 7200 rpm external drives I've found on Amazon all have TERRIBLE reviews when used with Macs. For some reason, none of these things from Buffalo or Western Digital seem to work with Macs, according to Amazon reviews.
    Can anyone recommend a 1 TB external with Firewire 800 and 7200rpm that would be good for video editing, that also works on a Mac 8,2 Early 2011 running the latest OS X?
    Thanks!

    I have a 1 TB Lacie d2 Quadra but it's a desktop external disk. It's a great disk with FireWire 800, eSATA and USB 2.0 and 3.0. If you are going to use the MacBook Pro at home, I recommend this drive

  • How many external drives per Firewire 800 bus?

    I am the proud owner of a new Mac Pro, which comes with only one FW 800 bus. I have 4 1T G-Tech FW drives (2 for video media) that I've daisy-chained, and I know their performance is suffering because of it. I'd like to remedy that.
    Question 1: Is it optimal to have only one of these drives running on each bus? Can I get away with two per bus without serious loss of efficiency? Can I assume that 2 per will run better than 4 per?
    Question 2: For the price that OWC is selling the Sonnet Tango 800 PCI-E card (about $110), is there another card I should be considering, or is the Tango 800 considered good?
    Thanks.

    videocrafter,
    not to presume on your time more than i already have -- what a helpful reply you gave. thanks! -- but i just want to make absolutely sure of one thing:
    i buy the esata pci-e card you mention from OWC and install it myself (probably pretty easy) and then just plug my G-Tech drives into it, and I'm good to go? No separate esata controller card? I just realized that only two of my four G-Tech drives have the esata connection, so I could plug those two in, leave the other two with my FW 800 connection and save up for a couple more G-Tech drives with the esata connection. And this will make my life better.
    Correct?
    many, many thanks.
    giraut
    Hi giraut, your welcome
    That is correct, you will not need any additional controller card. You will have to install the driver for the Tempo E4P (make sure you follow the installation instructions) and you'll want to make sure you download the latest driver from Sonnet's website:
    http://www.sonnettech.com/support/kb/kb.php?cat=338#position_content
    and unless you have some application monitoring for new upgrades, I would check at least once a month if not more often for any new future drivers. They are suppose to be coming out with one here soon to support 64 Bit. Even though FCP does not yet support 64 bit if you choose to run other applications in 64 bit you don't want your eSATA controller to cause any problems.
    You'll also need One external shielded eSATA data cables with "I-Shape" connectors for each device you connect to the card. So in your case, you'll need 2 right away. Here is the type of cable you need, it just happens to be made by Sonnet, but you can find cheaper ones (just remember, you get what you pay for).
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/TCBSATA11/
    There is one bit of insight I would like to give you when swapping any of your internal drives around once you have this card installed. It probably tells you in the owners manual, and I just stopped reading once I got it up and running. However I found out the hard way. The first time that I swapped out one of the "Internal" drives (I swapped out the drive in bay 3 I think it was, makes no difference which bay I'm sure) but I simply shut down my system, unplugged the computer and swapped out the drive. When I started back up, I things didn't' seem right, it wasn't seeing my external drives properly and I got a panic attack (both the computer and me!). Of course my first thought was "YOU'VE GOT TO BE FREAKING KIDDING ME!" So after I took a deep breath, before turning the computer back on, I disconnected my external enclosure, then restarted and everything was find. I then completely shut down, turned on my enclosure and restarted. All was good. I tested my theory again and swapped out another internal drive and all went like clockwork. Here are the exact steps I took. They worked for me, and maybe they will work for someone else, so I'll list them here:
    Swapping Internal Drive
    1. Eject each external drive from the enclosure and power down the enclosure.
    2. Eject and power down the FireWire drive.
    3. Power down the computer and swap out drives.
    4. With the external enclosures powered off, power up the computer as normal.
    5. Accomplish another shut-down.
    6. Make sure all of the drives are installed into the enclosure, turn on the power.
    7. Power up the computer and keep your fingers crossed.
    Personally I've never daisy-chained Firewire drives (although I find it fascinating that Patrick had 19 of them daisy-chained) if I did I would probably only use them for archiving since I capture and edit everything in ProRes 422, but that's another thread. I currently only have one device that I use via firewire 800 which is my external Blu-ray burner. An interesting note here. I initially had my Blu-ray burner connected to my former piece of junk eSata controller card (with the Silicon Image SiI3124 chip and drivers that haven't been updated since before Leopard came out) but for whatever reason, the Tempo E4P wasn't seeing it (Now I'm not sure why, and frankly I didn't take the time to troubleshoot it, so it may be nothing) I just went ahead and connected the burner up as Firewire 800, and connected my 3rd external eSata device (a OWC Mercury Elite Pro USB/Firewire/eSata drive) to port 2 of my Tempo E4P, with my 5 drive bay FirmTek/5PM eSata enclosure connected to port 1 of the E4P (leaving 2 open ports on the E4P).
    So, If I were you, for now I would go ahead and daisy-chain those other 2 Firewire drives, unless I needed to use them to capture and edit in anything other than DV, or for archiving only. Otherwise, I would get another 5 bay enclosure and take those 2 SATA drives out of those 2 existing firewire enclosures (Im assuming they are SATA drives inside their enclosure, I would surely think so) and put them in the external eSata enclosure.
    One last ti-bit of information that may or may not be useful. When you get an external 5 bay enclosure with the port Multiplier, pay a little extra for a brand that you can trust. Personally, since I already have one, I would stick with the SeriTek SATA5PM (their built like a tank!), or go with a Sonnet, OWC has a new price on their Fusion D500P that's pretty appealing. I would definitely be cautious if wanting to purchase anything for a specific company with the word "Cool" in their name, the only thing that is cool, and it's only cool for them is they get your money and you get .... well you know!

  • MBP firewire port bus issue?

    i've got an 2.16 dual intel 17" MBP. running 10.4.8. i'm using Final Cut Pro 5.1.1. I've been running my media off a maxtor 500gb external connected via the 800 port. i've got two 250gb externals daisy-chained and connected to the 400 for my sfx. i've had my mini-dv camera attached via a 4-6 pin to the 400 port on the back of the maxtor media drive for digitizing. i recently did a couple updates (security something or others) via the software update panel on the mac. i went to capture some footage i needed off a tape the other day and upon connecting my camera, all the drives unmounted and i was greeted by the device removed error pop-up. i've tried new cable, i tried unplugging all but the one maxtor drive, i tried just having that drive plugged into the 800 and the camera into the 400 port of the computer. i've tried a new camera.....no avail in any case. if i have the camera plugged in, i've got no external drives on line.
    did any of my software updates
    potentially screw up bus assignment?? i'm frustrated. please help.

    I am a little behind on the technical speak but I recently upgraded to a 2.16 dual intel 17 MBP and have been having problems with Firewire connectivity; I had a simple set up; External 160GB drive connects ok via FW 4OO port but when i connect my DV camera via Firefire 800 port (9pin to 4pin) the mac doesn't see my camera - if i go back to capturing video to internal hard drive and using FW 400 port to connect to DV all is ok - Is it in simple language the case that the MBP can't support both FW connections without upgrading some FW express card? If that's the case two of those dudes in tee shirts in the apple store london have been telling porkies? Any help here?

  • Firewire 800 2 External Hard Drives, 1 w/800, other w/400

    Backstory:
    My current External Hard Drive has both USB & Firewire 400. I've just purchased another, larger, that has both 400 & 800. The original I'll call the 400 is set w/Time Machine. I'd like to switch that to the new 1, "800", but still keep the old connected as a secondary back up device for specific items.
    All that being said, how do I go about doing this?
    With the 400 already installed on my computer, it IS visible on my Desktop as it should be. When I attempted to start the new 1, 800, it does not show.
    Due note, I was unaware only 1 firewire item shows at a time. Should I be concerned about my computer, or is this common? Both show properly in my "System Profiler", but ONLY 1 AT A TIME.

    Strange. I have seen posts claiming certain Macs don't recognize 2 firewire ports at the same time.
    That is nonsense. I have two FireWire drive connected to two separate ports. Please provide a link to such a post.
    When I unmounted my 400 (old), then it showed in the profiler, but still not on the desktop.
    If the 800 drive's volume does not mount when the other drive is disconnected, there is something wrong with the drive.
    Connect the 800 drive by itself (no 400 drive connected). Run Disk Utility. Does the drive show up in the sidebar? If so, is there a volume indented under the drive in the sidebar? If not, you may need to go to the Erase tab (or Partition tab) and format the drive. If there is an existing volume, select it in the sidebar and click the Mount button in the toolbar.
    So the first step is getting the 800 drive to be recognized properly by itself.

  • Do all FireWire 400 audio interfaces work on a FireWire 800 bus?

    I have assumed that one can continue to use FW400 on the new MacBookPros with an adapter cable. But responding to a post where I noted that I was unable to daisychain an RME FW 400 to a FW800 harddisk, a forum member tells me that many FW400 audio-interfaces don't work on FW800 buses, and thus even an adapter cable would'nt work.
    Is this true?
    If so, the whole music/audio community on Mac will have to switch to PC, no other solution.

    Although there might be a few specific devices that might have trouble, most firewire 400 devices will work with an adapter to 800. And unlike what a bunch of people on this forum complain about, having a 400 device chained with an 800 WILL NOT slow the 800 down. A few minutes doing some simple research on how firewire works would stop people from spreading incorrect information.

  • Ext HD speed and Bus-Powered Firewire 800

    After having gone through various External HD over the years, Firewire 800 (WD Studio with power adapter) is by far proving to be best in terms of connecting speed when handling my 350gb+ library.
    However, lately, I was exploring the option of having a portable External HD drive with "bus-powered" port so that I don't have to rely on the power plug whenever I want to listen to iTunes library.
    So, here are some questions...
    1) Bus-powered Firewire 800 1TB - no experience with this before. all my firewire external drives had required power adapter, but during this search I just found out that such exists.
    Can MBP Firewire 800 port provide enough power to spin 1TB external drive w/out a hiccup??
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/on-the-go
    2) Obviously for a smaller size drive with bus-powered option, I must go with 2.5" drive, which meant, I have either 1TB @ 5400rpm OR 750gb @ 7200rpm for MAX Storage option. I do want 1TB... BUT would 5400rpm / 7200rpm matter when it comes to iTunes library??
    I ened up getting my current Firewire 800 external drive after experiencing lagging iTunes speed via USB 2.0 and Firewire 400. But later I found out that slow connecting (constant beach ball when selecting music) is typically resulted from having many playlists/id tags/etc.
    So, I want to be sure before I get a new drive, I choose the right speed drive.
    Btw, here is my current set up: MBP 13" (mid-2009), iTunes (10.1.2), 500gb 7200rpm internal drive, 8gb memory
    Anyone experience with above set-up that I am thinking about??

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I wonder if there might be a problem with the firewire bridge in the WD? The most reliable Firewire chipset that I know of is the Oxford 924+, but not everybody uses these. You might be able to find out what is actually used on the WD web site.
    Since the USB connection works, the WD drive itself is probably fine.
    Does your FireWire 800 work properly with other devices? If not, or if you don't know, you could try a SMC reset, which may help if the problem is with the FireWire port on the MBP:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
    Otherwise, you could try the drive in a different enclosure, like the Mercury on the Go from OWC, which has the Oxford 934 chipset. I have WD drives in 3 of these enclosures, and have never had a problem with any of them.
    Good luck!

  • FireWire 800 and USB bus failure

    I am trying to resolve an ongoing issue with my iMac. External storage devices will not stay mounted. I have had data corruption and several drive failures that I believe are attributable to the sudden loss of connection to the computer. It can not be that all my drives – there have been five – are faulty. My newest drive, an OWC Mercury Elite Pro connected to the FireWire 800 bus, is beginning to exhibit the same behavior, and this drive is less than a month old.
    What possible explanations are there for a FireWire or USB bus to suddenly drop a connected hard drive?
    Thanks in advance.

    Simplest explanation? Your iMac has a hardware failure. Take it in for service. It's probably NOT a software issue but a hardware failure.
    Can we assume you have tried new or different cables?

  • Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 external drive problems

    I recently upgraded from a MacBook Pro 17" early 2011 to a MacBook Pro Retina 15" (early 2013).  I have a Drobo and two Seagate 4TB external drives, all connected via Firewire 800.  So, I added a Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter and, it seemed, life was good.
    I keep my large iTunes Movie and TV show collection on the Drobo.  Since transitioning to the new MacBook, I have had a number of issue with watching movies on my Apple TV 3.  Randomly, and periodically, the movie appears to be corrupted - the audio track skips/loops and the image is horrible macroblocked, as if the file is damaged.  When I check the movies on the Drobo, opening it with Quicktime on the MBP, it plays just fine at the same spot it appeared damaged on the Apple TV 3.
    A second symptom is this: I can no longer re-encode video with Handbrake with the source and target files on the Drobo - it gets some portion of the way through and it just stops, leaving the video partially encoded; again, at random locations/offsets into the video and not the same spot twice.
    My initial thought is that connection to the Drobo is dropping out and coming back, on its own, but long enough to cause the above problems.
    Is anyone else seeing this issue or something related when using the Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter with large drives?
    Thanks, in advance.

    Update: I exchanged the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter and the issue persists. I have a Drobo that I used with my previous system, a PowerMac G5, and never had any issues like this.
    It does not matter what software I use. But at some point video playback will suddenly become garbled. If I start the video from the beginning, sometimes the garbled video will start sooner but never later. A restart temporarily resolves the issue. If I copy the file to the local hard drive the video will play back garbled. This is indeed a very strange issue. The issue behaves like a bandwidth bottleneck.
    I was having this issue prior to upgrading to Mavericks.

  • Firewire 800 speed weirdness

    I recently purchased a four bay RAID array to replace the multitude of external drives that I've collected over the years. I installed four 1TB drives in a RAID 5 configuration to make up a 3TB array. The RAID model is the DM4 from Sabio (Sabio DAS DM4).
    I connected it to my iMac via Firewire 800 (it has 2x FW800 ports, 1x FW400, 1x USB 2.0, 1x eSATA), and after hours of copying from the external USB drives I finally got everything migrated over to the new monster drive. However, I am seeing some weirdness in transfer speeds.
    My iMac specs are as follows:
    Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac7,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 4 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
    SMC Version (system): 1.21f4
    I was testing copy speeds to the array by using the cp command in the terminal and watching the disk activity in iStat Menus (but you can get the same information out of Activity Monitor on the Disk Activity tab). Using cp, I was only able to push about 45MiB/s, which I found strange since this is near the maximum of FW400 (50MiB/s).
    The truly weird thing, though, was using the same file, copying to the array in the Finder pushed the transfer up to 65MiB/s. The main question I have is why would that be? I've tried alternates on the command line as well, such as rsync but nothing moves as fast as the finder.
    Now I get that writing to the array is going to be slower considering that I'm writing parity to all the drives, but I don't get the speed difference between the command line tools and the GUI Finder. Maybe it's a caching issue?
    I'm also seeing a hit between the command line and the Finder with reads from the array. Unsurprisingly the reads are better than the writes, since I'm pulling from four drives. With the Finder, I'm able to pull at an average rate of 75MiB/s. The command line I read around 63MiB/s to 66MiB/s.
    All these tests are the same file. The drive in the iMac is actually brand new (1TB Seagate), and it has barely anything on it so it's not some type of fragmentation issue. The only external drive on the iMac is this Sabio array.
    So, does anyone have any ideas why I'm seeing such a speed difference between the command line and the GUI? Also, is there a way to work around this slow down on the command line? Hopefully someone knows more than I've found thus far.
    Thanks for your time,
    Adam.

    You're right, I could use the Finder to do all my copies, but I typically don't use my systems at that level. I know that sounds weird, but I'm a Linux admin and systems engineer by trade and I live in the command-line/terminal all day long. I am a lot faster at manipulating the system via the command-line than I am with point and click. There are a lot of times that I just quit the Finder outright so I don't have to look at my Desktop icons (though I have the desktop turned off right now so I don't see any icons at all).
    I generally use my iMac as a media center, where it serves media to my PS3 and what not. I also use it for some development work. My wife will use the machine for graphic design when she is working form home thus she's in the Adobe Creative Suite a lot of the time. With that said, the machine is mutli-user, and I typically use command-line programs to ensure that what I copy is copied correctly via rsync, or the cp -Rp commands.
    Now, my observations were not really a concern, but more of a why-on-earth-is-this-happening type of thing. In the past, it used to be a lot faster and more efficient CPU wise to copy via the command-line than it was in the Finder. Now with Snow Leopard they seem to have gone the other way around. To me, it just seems that the command-line equivalent, which doesn't have any glitz or glamour at all, should be natively faster than the Finder, which has progress bars, drag-and-drop, etc.
    So yeah, I can use the Finder, but it's not what I use normally.

  • Macbook Pro WD Firewire 800 issues possible work around

    I have been having issues with my Western Digital My Passport Studio and the Firewire 800 connection. The drive would mount and was completly readable however copying to the drive would result in a stall. The USB connection worked perfect. I have found if I disabled the Wi-Fi connection I could then write as usuall without error.
    I have read of people having issues with thier firewire connections and am curious to know if this helps anyone else. The most popular responses have been RMA the drive or the Macbook. I have also read peoples dealiings with Apple thus far have not been very helpful either. Hope it helps seems to be working for me thus far. Hopefully a fix is in the works 'cause I love my MacBook and the drive.
    This is the current (late) 2011 MBpro with OsX Lion 10.7.2

    I can only answer part of your question. Your SLR has mini HDMI and a mini USB out. Your MBP has three ways to connect: USB, FW 800 (9 pin) and Thunderbolt (which is ao far supported by a limited number of devices).
    As far as I know, you will not be able to use On Location with the Canon. But I could be wtong. Good places to ask are the Adobe forums and Canon forums.
    Good luck.

  • Mini Firewire 800 Cables???

    I have been searching around the net in hopes of finding a really really small firewire 800 cable which I could use to connect two mobile hard drives together...I have the two drives stuck together with industrial strength velcro, and the ports of the two drives are about an inch apart from each other...I am in need of a Firewire 800 cable that is about 3" inches in length...
    I actually have one of these that came with some accessory device I bought a while back (can't recall which accessory exactly)...but I have had no luck finding such a cable for sale individually...I've searched most major computer cable stores online and have had not luck whatsoever...
    I was hoping someone might be able to provide me with a link to some site out there that sells cables this short???
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

  • Firewire 800 to 400 Hub?

    This new Mac (which I love) has Firewire 800. My hard drives and scanner has Firewire 400 connections. I bought a cable that connects the 800 port into my 400 port in the hard drive but since the Mac has only 1 800 port I am unable to connect my scanner. Are there Firewire hubs that can plug my other peripherals? There were none at the Apple store and I could not find any on-line. Please advise

    You may be able to connect the scanner to the daisy-chain port on the hard drive, if it has one. Or, if the scanner has a daisy-chain port, connect it first and connect the hard drive second.
    If your FireWire devices are 400, there are FireWire 400 hubs on the market. Connect the hub to the Mac using that 800 to 400 cable you already have. Connect the FireWire 400 devices to the hub. Be sure to get a hub that has its own power supply. Here's one hub

  • Employee at the Genuis Bar told me to get pci-express firewire 800 card

    told me any card would work in my new.......well it WAS new till they announced upgrade, 2x3ghz quadcore xeon.
    I want to add another firewire 800 bus since I have the AJAHD hooked to the existing bus.
    So I went to Fry's and got the "PCI-express firewire 800/1394b controller card 3 ports".
    put it into one of the empty slots, rebooted, and got nothing, just some dull chimes, that don't stop.
    it fit within my macpro, but it was a lot shorter than the SATA card, that had no problems.
    So I guess I need to know exactly what type of firewire 800 card to I have to get.

    I installed 1 of these in an 8 core OS 10.4.11 FCp 6.0.2 QT 7.3.1 dedicated to io HD
    don't recall a driver disk for mac, however I rarely if ever use the supplied driver disk for anything anymore 'cause it's almost always out of date. go to mfg site and get drivers etc.

  • Current FireWire 800 drivers limitation - confirmation needed

    Try it on the FireWire 800 adapter and I unhappily had to contact the Seagate support. They respond as follow :
    I understand that you're having an issue getting the 3 TB Go Flex Desk to mount.
    The reason for the Mac OS not recognizing the drive is because the Mac OS currently does not have the firewire 800 drivers that support drives that are over the 2 TB limit. This is unfortunately one of the limitations of the Mac operating system. At this time, Mac is currently working to develop firewire 800 drivers that support the larger hard drive size, but no information has been released by Apple, that we know of, as to when a driver update would become available.
    Could I get confirmation as I couldn't find any knowledge base on that issue? I may have not used the proper keyword...
    Thank you very much.
