Does Yosemite support Highpoint RAID cards?

Mac Pro, late 2010 12-core Westmere model with 24GB RAM.
Just updated to Yosemite. Discoverd the Highpoint RocketRAID card is no longer recognized and peripherals using eSATA are not mounting.
I don't recall whether it stated a driver was installed on previous versions of OS X, however I do know that the RAID card was supported natively at that time and attempting to add drivers resulted in the card not being recognized.
I've tried restarting, using a few RAID management tools from the vendors of peripherals I have, and updating the driver manually, and none have worked. Any suggestions?
Does it matter that the RAID controller is listed on 3 lines in the System Info, or is this just a glitch?
The Vendor ID is 1103.

The model in my machine is the RocketRAID 644M. I've had no luck finding anything helpful online. From what I've seen this model should still be supported.
When I first installed the 644M, I tried to install drivers from the included disk and that prevented the card from working. The drivers are part of the system, if I recall correctly, so installing drivers ends up pointing the device to the wrong driver files.
I'm seeing this in the System Info Extensions pane:

Highpoint raid cards on Sept 08 MP

I need help from you pros on an issue:
I have Highpoint Rocketraid cards for Mac: 620 dual port external cards and a 644 Quad port external card. Both are connected to several hard drives. The hard drives all work as they are supposed to.
My problem is this:The 620 cards/drives connect to the localhost:7402 site which administers and monitors the drives. Works fine as far as i can see. However, the 644 card will not connect to the localhost site and so i do not have the monitor/administration functions for that card/drives. I am soon going to increase the number of drives on that card with a firmtek 5 bay esata enclosure and i will need those functions to insure the integrity of my new raid5, etc etc.
I have contacted Highpoint by phone/email several times and they are ignoring me as fast as they can. I do not know how to remedy the situation. I hope youall can help me. Please email me asap. i need to take care of this right away so i can establish a stable raid setup in the next day or 2. Thanks in advance for your help.
bob1001

For what it's worth, I went to HighPoint's Mac support page (http://www.hptmac.com/US/product.php?_index=57&viewtype=download) and downloaded the latest Snow Leopard drivers (Driver v1.11 and WebGUI v1.02, you need to install both). Now I can access http://localhost:7402 like I was able to back when I was using my G5. NOTE: the old link was https://localhost:7402, now there is no "s"
Hope this helps.

Does AppleCare Cover my Raid Card

I purchased a fairly expensive Mac Pro system in Feb 2008 and purchased the Applecare protection plan which is good through Feb 2011. Back then, had 5TB plus lots of extras so not cheap. I've bought 5 Macs over the years, each time with a Plan, never tried to use it before, but looks like I may need to this time.
About six months ago my raid card started to regularly show a "write cache disabled due to insufficient battery charge" messag. It would charge up, but then very quickly show the message ago. About two months ago, it seemed to become a permanent problem. I spent some time with it and realize that the Raid Card is no longer working due to insufficient battery charge.
Every place which discusses this on Forums seems to indicate it can't be fixed by myself, but means the card needs to be replaced.
Is it covered as part of my Applecare Plan? The Raid Card came installed with the Mac Pro. What do I do to get it replaced or fixed?
Note: I live in Taiwan.
Thanks!

Contact AppleCare in your area to find out how to get the card's behavior diagnosed / serviced:

Does Yosemite support mac pro duel monitors?

Does Yosemite on early 2008 mac pro support duel monitors to the extent to make one desk top?

as long as that box is checked, each display is independent.
If you want the original "Extended Desktop":
Uncheck the box
close the preference pane or switch to another and save changes.

Does Yosemite support Windows DFS

Hi, Does Yosemite offer native support for Windows DFS ? I have used third party tools in the past like AdmitMac , is this still required ?
Thanks guys
Bob

This is great news, since I have to integrate Macs and iOS in a Windows AD Network with DFS. Are the macs now able to use these windows printer pools also? I had problems with these some years ago with 10.6 or 7.
Is there any documentation available to learn about the integration on these devices? Why is this kind of information so hard to find? Does Apple have documentation about it? Some years ago, there were these nice videos with hints and tips, but they are all gone.
Any other resources of information?
Thank you.

Does a Mac Pro RAID card affect a Sil3132 PCI-E Card ?

I've got a Mac Pro with the Apple RAID card (Slot4)
I've put a Sil3132 PCI-E eSATA card into Slot 3.
I can load drivers (v1.1.9 Silicon Image), and see the eSATA card in the System Profiler
But I cannot get it to see the hard disks connected to the eSATA bus.
The cables and disks work with my other Mac that has eSATA but not on the Mac Pro.

Hi,
I have seen system conflicts occur when both the Apple RAID card and SI drivers were installed. It may also be another driver that is causing the issue. To troubleshoot this issue I would install a fresh copy of Mac OS X on a spare HD using the Apple DVD and boot from it. Next, install the SiI-3132 1.1.9 driver, reboot and see if the issue still exists.
If the issue is resolved you will know something else is causing the problem on the regular boot disk.
Another possibility is that the SiI-3132 card has the RAID BIOS flashed to the card. This will usually occur if the card is purchased from a PC vendor. In that case, the card may not work unless the Mac SiI 3132 32-bit universal SATARAID5 driver is installed OR the card is flashed back to BASE BIOS.
You can find the drivers here:
http://www.siliconimage.com/support/searchresults.aspx?pid=32&cat=3
Unfortunately, there is no Mac driver uninstaller provided by Silicon image and the different driver versions install several files in different locations. This is why it pays to buy the SI controller from a Mac based reseller that knows what BIOS is installed. If you did not purchase from a good Mac reseller then it is best to test the card with a spare boot disk that you can erase if the wrong driver is installed. I would not want to mess up my main boot disk with these driver tests
Have fun!

Does Yosemite support Blu-Ray disc and 4K playback on the iMac with a 4K player?

If I plug a Blu-Ray or 4K player into an iMac, will Yosemite support playback? What additional software is needed and available?

It's hard to say considering Apple hasn't supported Blu-ray yet and the downloaded Blu-ray resources are really not what we exactly want. The most directly way is to install Mac Blu-ray player and Blu-ray drive. Macgo is the best now to support 4K Blu-ray and Yosemite.

Does Yosemite support DisplayPort 1.2 to daisy-chain 2 monitors from a single Thunderbolt port?

Has anyone tried daisy-chaining two monitors from a single Thunderbolt port in Yosemite? DisplayPort 1.2 wasn't supported by Mavericks, but I'm hoping that might have been fixed with the new

Visibly not... I try daisy-chaining with my Dell U2414H on Yosemite but it doesn't work. Please Apple, Fix this...

Does E5 support 32GB memory card?

Hello members,
I have Nokia E5 handset. I am planning to upgrade it's memory card now. As per Nokia my handset supports upto 32 GBs of card (MicroSD). Now i want to ask you people that can i really use 32GB crad in it or shall i buy 16 GBs card instead? I am asking this because some of the dealers at my place said not to use maximum-supported card in nokia as it can hang or freeze the mobile. So, is it true???
Also, since i can't get this card at my place i am planning to buy it from Ebay.in. I never used that site or any other site for shopping. So, is it safe and trustworthy or shall i get the card from any shop????
Please suggest me.
Thanks.

@optiontips
I use a 32GB microSDHC in my E72 a similar S60 3rd FP2 device without issue. Please bear in mind that there were a lot of counterfeit 32GB cards circulating upon auction sites when first released due to their (then) high value based on 2GB cards which reported erroneous capacity.

Does yosemite support dual monitors

I had dual monitors with Mavericks and prior, can't get it to support a second one now.
Used both HDMI and MiniHd connections?

What is a " I use a Mini H connector."
Just what two monitors (e.g. resolution) do you have and how (what monitor inputs and adopters are used) are the connected.
What model Mini?

Best Throughput for RAID - Internal SATA vs. PCI RAID Card

Hi, we're upgrading our old server, which has been on an upgraded G4. We put 3 SATA drives in it, connected to a Highpoint 1820a RAID card running RAID 5.
We're moving this to an older G5 1.6 GHz model (2003). It currently has 2 internal SATA drive bays, but I know can be expanded with an adapter kit. It also has just plain PCI slots (not PCI-X or PCIe).
So I'm wondering what would provide better performance (throughput I guess):
• Using the 2 internal bays with a software RAID 1?
• Putting our old Highpoint RAID card in the PCI slot and running RAID 1 or possibly RAID 5 (with another drive)?
I know the RAID card doesn't use the processor for RAID functions, but I think in a RAID 1 it's fairly minimal, correct? I'm mostly wondering if the older basic PCI slot would bet the bottleneck in a fast system compared to the onboard SATA controllers?
THANKS!

Well, we're most concerned with data security and reliability. We're not streaming video or anything else that would demand extreme throughput. The server is mostly serving files to 4-5 users. So I imagine the performance gains would only be noticed when opening/closing files off the server, correct?
And we already own the Highpoint card, which has 8 internal SATA ports, so we'll probably use this. It works fine on PCI bus. So we can run this with 4 drives in either two RAID 1s (boot & files); a RAID 5, or a RAID 10.
We'll probably stick with Western Digital or Seagate 'enterprise' SATA drives, such as the WD RE3.
So, do you think we would see much real-world difference between the different RAID options (RAID 1 software, RAID 1 hardware, RAID 5 hardware, RAID 10 hardware)?
Thanks!

Best slot for raid card

got a sata highpoint raid card coming
any advise on best pci slot for raid
im assuming 4 but what are you lot using

i have proven this time and time again to a many a people. i do not know why others have had this problem. i have had the sb live, usb, and the nic steering the same irq. not one single problem, audio hiccup (pops, cracks), nor problem with throughput. this was in win98 and me.
seriously, although i do agree in allocating in the order of priority. scsi, nics, soundcards, etc-thats my zen . if you get my point. although i have seen good credible people i know that handle hardware correctly and they have had a minor problem with a p.o.s. periph, but they noted usually fixed with a new driver. sound blasters work well, contrary what many have said, steering irq's with another periph-i have done it for years, literally. this is also with systems i have built for my friends and family.
agp1, pci1, pci2, pci3 unless there are integrated features for the motherboard always have their own interrupt lines. obviously though if you are going to use agp1 you are not going to want to use pci1 if you dont want to steer the interrupt. pci4, 5, 6 always have a duped interrupt line like agp1 and pci1.
it really doesnt matter. specially with an os that will allow the usage of the apic. if that was the case then there would be a lot of servers in this world that are more fu**ed up than you think.

CalDigit's RAID Card or Highpoint's RocketRaid 4322

hi Everyone,
Are we having fun now or what eh? Congrats to Apple on it's Nehalem MacPro release! While a test of our patience, the wait was a fine process full of joyous anticipation!
I'll be placing my order shortly, and have decided that the 8-core 2.93ghz with Radeon's 4870 is the one for me. My primary softwares, 3D CAD (Vectorworks) and a rendering program (Artlantis) that I use for making concept presentations, are processor intensive. Moving up from my long serving PowerMac G5 is going to be quite the thrill, but I need some help please. It's about hard drive controller cards...
Six months ago, after doing my due diligence in the RAID research department, the CalDigit RAID Card was the front runner. Now, having read recent reviews, it looks as though I should purchase Highpoint's RocketRaid 4322 card. Price-wise, the Caldigit's $100 less expensive plus there's a $100 rebate deal on 'til the end of April ( http://www.caldigit.com/news/CalDigitVRShippingPR.pdf ) making it actually $200 less than the 4322.
Not that money's no object, (far from it actually!) but, when it comes to this kind of decision, I don't let price hold too much weight. Quality pays and, in this case, what I want to purchase is the best hard drive controller card for my purposes and for this machine,
so...
Which card should I buy? Speed and stability/dependability are the primary goals.
Setup-wise, my plan, at this point, is to run WD Velociraptor 150GB drives in the first two bays. These two drives would be set on RAID 0. On this set, I will install the OS, all my applications, and a few primary data files. In the third and fourth drive bays, I will be installing two Velociraptor 300GB drives also set up as a two-drive RAID 0 set. On this set, I will keep all of my data files.
I think this will be a good way to go. I have three external drives that I use for backup and I occasionally burn discs of my data files (which I'll happily be able to do onto Blu-ray discs using the second optical drive bay's soon to be installed Blu-ray RW drive. Yummy!). Thanks to all the backup, and having an eDrive, I comfortable having everything on RAID 0. Running this G5 on a similar configuration has been fantastic. No problems and great, great speed, especially for this, a nearing five-year-old computer.
I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts here. Which RAID card will you buy or have you bought?
Oh, and just what's the difference between Highpoint's 4322 and their 4320? Reading through the specs at the Highpoint website was entirely unhelpful!
I look forward to hearing from you.
thanks in advance,
yours,

Maybe this is why Highpoint's two top cards are getting more light on them?
Hi,
From my view, using the Mac Pro internal bays with any 3rd party RAID card is a disaster waiting to happen. Anytime Apple makes a change in the hardware or the OS it can easily cause the card to no longer be able to be installed or work properly. In addition, it is possible that some System updates may not like to be installed on RAID boot volumes and I bet the new Snow Leopard version of Mac OS X will break most current 3rd party RAID drivers.
When the boot system is used with an internal 3rd party RAID driver the possibility of a problem occurring when integrating a Mac OS X update rises exponentially. Having the internal Mac Pro drive bays connected to the motherboard gives the user a fighting chance
The reason I was never excited about the CalDigit RAID card is that it uses a slow, entry level, Intel RAID processor. Even with 16 hard disks connected the card is limited to less than 500MB/sec. In addition, it does not support SAS. The slow processor keeps the performance down even though the HDs can provide much higher performance. A 16 channel card with a slow processor is like a sports car with a 4 cylinder 70 horse power engine. It just doesn't make sense to me.
In contrast, the HighPoint RR 4322 includes the high powered Intel IOP 348 1.2GHz (1200MHz) processor with embedded SAS functionality. This card provides two mini-SAS ports (8-channels) that can provide almost twice the performance with eight hard disks in RAID 0. Using RAID 0, AMUG recorded 801MB/sec write and 748MB/sec read performance with the RR 4322. With a RAID 5 configuration 665MB/sec. performance was recorded. With RAID 6, 580MB/sec. was available. The HighPoint RR 4322 provides amazing performance and SAS compatibility. If performance is important, there is no contest between these two cards.
You can read more on the RR 4322 here:
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/highpoint/4322/
The RR 4322 also supports SAS expanders. This allows the HighPoint card to support up to 128 disks with the use of SAS expanders. AMUG tested the Enhance RS16 JS SAS expander enclosure with the RR 4322 and was able to achieve amazing performance with 16 hard disks. Even RAID 6 provided performance as high as 746MB/sec. write and 894MB/sec. read.
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/enhance/rs16js/
Using an external RAID with the RR 4322 provides great performance when needed and the ability to turn the RAID off when not required. Being able to turn off the RAID when not needed saves energy and provides for longer RAID disk life.
If you do find a system conflict with a Mac OS X update it is much easier to boot up from that backup disk that was created before the update than if the RAID is the internal boot disk
The HighPoint RR 4320 is the internal version of the RR 4322. While it is a great deal at newegg for $329, I would always prefer the external version given a choice. Especially since it sounds like Apple may have altered the internal Mac Pro SATA bay connections.
Have fun!

Mac Pro early 2008 2 x 2.8GHz Quad Core 10.7.5, replaced 4 x 500ghds with 4 x 3Tb and Raid card Raid5 them OK but can not load time machine back up as it does not see any of the 4 drives, neither does disc utilities, any thoughts?

On my Mac Pro, early 2008 2 x 2.8GHz Quad Core 10.7.5, replaced 4 x 500ghds with 4 x 3Tb. The Raid card Raid 5ed them OK but can not load time machine back up as it does not see any of the 4 drives, neither does disc utilities, any thoughts?

You don't see drives when using a hardware RAID only the volumes.
WD Green are not suitable for hardware RAID (or software RAID for that matter).
USB2 and TimeMachine are a disaster waiting to happen. I've used SATA (internal) and eSATA (using SATA PCIe cards) trouble-free.
I can't say I begin to understand your use or "choosing the install drive for the backup"
Install what?
You don't load TimeMachine. Maybe seems minor but that is not how to describe the behavior of software.

Does radeon 5870 + Mac Pro 2008 + Raid Card = Work?

Confusing subject, I know. My question is, I have a 2008 Mac Pro with the Apple Raid card installed, running 10.6 - I wanted to know, will the Radeon 5870 video card work in this computer, considering that one of my power connectors is already powering the Raid Card? I think this video card needs two power cables and I think my computer only has two (one of which is being used on the Raid Card).
Can someone with this configuration confirm whether this card works or does not?

Good question, never thought about that, but there is an FAQ on RAID card, and there is likely a Tech Note as well.
http://www.apple.com/support/macpro
I scan the daily changes to tech articles:
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=articles
I assume you don't want to use a y-split and pull power through one 6-pin, even though you may not be overloading or running GPU to the point where it and RAID card would be an issue.
And avoid having to use a small 450W PSU in optical bay.
