ESATA and USB 3.0 drives for editing

Are eSATA drives and/or USB 3.0 drives sufficiently fast enough for video editing purposes?

We have new External storage packages based on this. It's a very nice storage solution and completely hands off so easy to setup.

    Should I get a 2.0 or 3.0 USB external hard drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro? I need it to be compatible with the USB ports of both a PC and a Mac. I was thinking of getting a Seagate becuase apparently it is compatible with both systems, but I want to know which would be a better investment.

    and when I next connect the external hard drive how will I easily get the newly downloaded media onto the external HD
    you'd have to point +iTunes media folder location+ back to the external via preferences > advanced > iTunes media folder location, then file > library, organize library > consolidate files
    and essentially, to have it easily readable on both machines?
    in that case it might be best to copy the entire iTunes folder to the external. then, on each machine, launch iTunes while pressing option on your keyboard. when prompted, click on +choose library+ and navigate to the iTunes folder on the external.
    note only one iTunes can access the iTunes library @ a time !
    also, make sure the external is mounted on either machine before launching iTunes.

  • Driver Intel USB 3.0 Driver for Intel 8 and U/Y Series doesn't work with a specific Kingston USB

    Hello guys, just the other problem I'm facing with the 840 G2
    I'm working in the MDT image for the HP 840 G2 and I would like to comment you one problem that I found with the USB 3.0 drivers. Based in your webpage, the last HP USB 3.0 official drivers are:
    Intel USB 3.0 Driver for Intel 8 and U/Y Series Products
    3.0.1.41 A from 15 dic 2014
    I have found that those drivers doesn't work properly; if you insert a Kingston DTSE9 (32GB) the content of the usb will not be accessible randomly. The event viewer will display:
    The driver detected a controller error on \device\harddisk1\DR13
    To solve this problem you have to obtain the last version of the drivers from the Intel webpage:
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/22824/USB-3-0-Driver-Intel-USB-3-0-eXtensible-Host-Control...
    I have all the drivers properly installed and it seems that the computer is working fine, however I'm a little worry thinking if I should update all the driver to avoid possible problem like this one.
    If you have found similar problems it would be nice to share it.
    Thank you very much.

  • Cannot install NEC USB 3.0 Driver for Windows 7 - Now no USB 3.0

    I was trying to update the usb 3.0 driver on my G770 - connecting a USB 3.0 portable drive (or USB 3.0 flash) would slow down Windows and browsing from folder to folder would hang.
    I downloaded the latest driver from the site...

    Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver for Windows XP exists but the driver for Windows 7 is NEC USB 3.0 Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)
    What to do?

    Can I use an External hard drive and my computers hard drive for apple tv

    If you mean to hold iTunes content to stream then the answer is yes.  Your iTunes library  folder and the media usually live in the same location, but media can be in a different or several different locations.  The external drive wuld have to e connected and powered to stream media to AppleTV.

    A PowerBook G4 can't run Snow Leopard OS 10.6, however, it can run Leopard OS 10.5. But you must use a retail (black) Leopard install DVD.
    What does the selling of your MacBook have to do with installing Leopard on your PowerBook?

  • Question about Formatting Buffalo USB 1TB external drive for use with Mac Book Pro Mountain Lion HD

    Hi there, Have Mountain Lion HD operating system (not sure if it is 10.8 or 10.8.1. or 10.8.2)  and have a Buffalo USB 3.0 1TB hard drive. When go to utilities to try and format with Mac OS extended, following 3 files show. DriveNavi. exe, Slm.exe and Mac. The option to left click and erase menu is not there. Or at least not as shown in all the help videos.
    It is USB connection so will take ages but want to use drive to store video footage and also partition to back up Time Machine. ( travelling in South America and no other Ext Drive option available too buy) how much space should i assign to Time Machine when partitioning?  Is there anything else i need to think about? as new to formatting. Any thing else i can do to make process of transfering footage to Buffalo quicker?
    Final question is if it is finally reformatted am i going to have to spend so long accessing footage from hard drive when back home and editing that it really is not worth if, and i should just write this off as an inappropriate purchase, and try and buy more memory cards and not bother with transfering/storing? Thanks in advance for time spent trying to assist.

    Use Apple's Disk Utility in the Applications/Utilities folder to format the drive.
    The programs on the drive given to you by the manufacturer is likely backup software (or malware) and essentially worthless, it will be wiped when you format the drive.
    I do NOT advise you partition that drive for TimeMachine, rather I advise you not to use TimeMachine at all for your purposes because TM is just a backup, not a bootable drive.
    Rather do this.
    Get another hard drive that is equal to or slightly larger than your boot drive.
    Format the drive in Disk Utiltiy > 1 Partition, option: GUID, Format: OS X Extended journaled, click Erase and move the slider one spot to the right and click Erase. This will take some time as it's going to map off any failing sectors it can BEFORE you lay data on the drive corrupting it.
    Next, pay for and download Carbon Copy Cloner, use the default settings and simply clone internal drive to the external drive. this will also take some time the first time.
    Next use Disk Utility to Repair Permisisons on both drive. Now reboot the machine and hold the option key down, you can select the external drive clone to boot from!!
    You can update the clone the same way by using CCC, but it doesn't take as long, only copying changes.
    This is better than TimeMachine as a bootable clone is bootable in case your internal drive fails to boot the machine.
    Use the first drive for storage and be very gentle with it while it running, like you should do for all hard drives as they are subjective to shock damage.
    The objective with the clone drive is you keep it safe, and not carting it around where it can be more subjective to damage like the other drive will be.
    Remmeber you need 2 forms of hardware backup at all times.

  • USB ADSL Modem Driver for Huawei MT841 for Solaris Express

    Hello Everyone
    After initial hiccups of installing Solaris Express in a multiboot system and partition mania,i finally installed Solaris Express on my system.First i installed Developer Edition and upgraded it to Express thinking that Developer Edition doesnt have networking capabilities.
    All said and done now i'm unable to access the internet.I'm using Broadband USB ADSL Modem from Huawei,type MT841 with four ethernet ports and one USB port.I dont have ethernet card so i use USB port to connect.
    The thing is the modem cd doesnt have a driver for Solaris,but for linux it does.
    Where can i find the driver for ADSL modem and how to install it,if i find it?
    Is there any alternate way?Expecting a reply(because my last post about multiboot didnt)
    Thanks in advance

    Problem Solved!
    Un-installing all USB modem device drivers, disconnecting all USB devices and removing all USB host controllers and hubs from the Vista device manager and then rebooting the notebook MADE NO DIFFERENCE.
    However when I received the new Thomson SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL modem drivers on CD-ROM from the manufacturer the modem installed immediately.
    I can only assume that there is a problem with the download of Release 4.1 of the Windows Vista driver for the SpeedTouch 330 from this web-page:
    http://www.thomson-broadband.co.uk/codepages/content3.asp?c=7&ProductID=471
    ... as the drivers on the CD-ROM from Thomson work - but their web download of the driver for the SpeedTouch does not.
    The problem was with the driver for Windows Vista - the laptop and modem now work correctly - as they should have done at the first installation attempt!
    Thanks for your help.

  • Need help to partition and format new hard drive for T400

    The HDD failed in my T400. I bought a new 1TB HDD and fitted it. The diagnostic software in the BIOS did a read and controller test (Passed). When I put the Windows XP disk in the CD reader, the setup started - then stalled at the "Windows setup" page. I thought the hard drive had a write problem but apparently it must be partitioned and formatted first, before Widows setup can commence. The thing is that I can't get to the option where Windows formats the drive. In old computers, there was always a partitioning option in the BIOS setup but in my T400, there doesn't appear to be any such option. The computer has 4GB RAM, the actual model is 2767-RV8.
    Does anyone have any suggestions how to get this up and running?
    One other question is - (assuming I can get the thing working) - Is there somewhere I can load the operating system on part of the hard drive where it can act as a fall back in case the operating system gets corrupted? - i.e. something that can't get attacked by malicious software?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Hi irivlin,
    If you are trying to clean install XP, then you have to do following setting in BIOS first:
    Press F1 to BIOS, Config -> Serial ATA (SATA) -> change to "Compatibility"
    You can change XP partition only if you are doing clean installation, otherwise you have to use 3rd party to do it.
    For backup part, there are lots of choices in the market. You might consider using XP own backup function. Lenovo got a program called Rescue and Recovery can also do backup as well.

  • Using USB 3.0 drives for program files.

    Can Adobe Creative Suite programs be loaded on an external USB 3.0 Drive not to be used by other computers but to increase the speed of data transfer--if you only have a 5400 RPM drive for instance?

    That would still depend on your computer and whether or not it can actualyl achieve and sustain those data rates. Just because it's USB 3, it must by no means be faster. The USB port could revert to a slower transfer mode at any time, there could be other I/O operations on your system, otehr USB devices could sahre the same bus and minimize throughput and any number of otehr things. Also of course you would have to define the drive as a swap/ cache drive in the first place and that would not be possible if it is listed as a removable drive. Photoshop and other programs only use fixed drives, meaning your USB device would have to have a specific driver to bypass this and be listed as an internal drive. So while on paper it may seem liek a good idea, in practice it's much more complicated.

  • Copying VHS tapes to Hard Drive for editing in iMovie

    OK, so I have old home videos on VHS tapes; I was going to burn them all to DVD, but found that they cannot be edited and I understand ripping them will degrade the quality (and we're working with VHS -- not the best quality to begin with!) So, I learned there is a way "analog digital capture" where I can transfer the VHS tapes onto a hard drive, then edit in iMovie.
    I know I could pay for a transfer house to do it, but I think it would be wiser financially to invest in the device I need to do it myself.
    I don't entirely understand what I need to buy, or how to do it, does anyone know what I am asking and what to do? Thank you so much!

    I am using a JVC DR MV-150 VHS DVD recorder which dubs directly.
    The results look better than the originals.
    Some problems with "finalizing" the DVDs, but I managed to push a series of buttons and got there. It is not what JVC says in their manual and found something on line which was wrong as well, but a combination got me there.
    It is one touch, load in tape, load in blank DVD and push dubbing. Machine initializes the DVD and then transfers, at the end you go through a process to "finalize" the DVD and done.
    Cost me $200 at Sma's Club.
    You can also take semi full tapes and pause the dubbing and put in a new VHS tape and record a "New" chapter.
    All in all I like it. It has better quality than going from VHS to computer, I assume they have some sort of a chip in the machine to make this better.
    my 2 cents
