Firewire drive question

I'm not sure whom to ask, so I though you all would have some reasonable input.
I currently have 8 firewire drives, each in an external case. What I would ideally like to see is some kind of case, that I can toss a number of the drives into, and plug into my FW800 or FW400 port and would let me turn each drive on or off so I'm not causing brownouts in my neighborhood.
Cost is bit of an issue, but my media drive collection is getting out of hand. Turning on three drives so I can get at the fourth is getting old, real quick.
Any suggestions?

What you're looking for is commonly called a RAID. There really isn't a practical reason to combine several Firewire drives into one case just to share power supplies and whatnot. Firewire drives are designed for portability and flexibility. If what you're looking for is something to combine several drives, there are some reliability and configuration issues to consider.
But bottom line, it gets a little more complicated as you add more drives.
Here's one page that shows you some options:

  • Seagate firewire drive question

    I have installed Leopard on my G4 and G5 tower with no problems.
    The problem starts when I plug in a Seagate remote firewire drive. the drive is formatted as Apple Partition Map, but I am not using it as a boot disk. I have also tried formatting it as MBR.
    In both cases if I have the drive plugged in when I boot to Leopard after about 3 minutes my cooling fans go to full speed and nothing else happens. If I then boot back to my Tiger it starts up fine. If I unplug this drive I can boot to Leopard with no problems.
    Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
    thanks

  • Spinning Ball- Firewire Drive question?

    Question about my external drive before I go and purchase a new one...
    I have one hard drive that gives me the spinning ball quite regularly now. I have booted up Disc Utility and repaired the disc. I have also used Disk Warrior (a great 3rd party app) to scan the disk, repair it's data structure and even rebuild it. I have also scanned the hard drive with ClamX AV to try and rule out some sort of virus. Why is this drive locking up my computer, freezing applications, preventing reboots, etc.? It only happens to this one external drive, so my thoughts are it's either a data structure issue, or its hardware. Am I right in that line of thinking?
    Is there a core system process that handles the mounting and dismounting of external drives that could be corrupt? Can I monitor and log what is causing my drive to hang? I'm not that familiar with terminal so I have been watching 'Activity Monitor' to see what processes are in use when I

    Okay, I did everything you suggested, and I believe that as soon as I had Zapped the PRAM things with the drive became remarkably better...I could eject the drive successfully, and then remount it. Thank you!
    But after two days of tests I have still had some irregular issues: it has frozen iTunes once or twice, locking up multiple programs and preventing a restart until the drive is turned off.
    I'll definitely try Zapping it again and see what happens, but does this ring as the beginnings of a failing drive? Should I still look to replace it? It does not have the S.M.A.R.T. function...

  • Firewire drive connected & sleep question

    I have an external firewire drive on my eMac. I hardly ever shut the eMac down and the drive is not powered through the computer. Do drives of this type eventually spin down after a while of non-activity, or is the thing always spinning and running if it is on - even when not being used? if so, is it best that I only turn it on when I want to use it, and if that is not at computer boot up is that a problem. I have the drive to do iMovie and iDVD stuff, which is not an everyday occurrence.
    thanks

    My LaCie drive will "spin down" after a short while of not being used. I keep it unplugged when I don't need it. But it does not seem to be a problem to leave the drive connected 24-7 which I have done from time to time...everything works fine...computer sleeps...

  • Stupid question: force booting from external FireWire drive

    My PowerBook is refusing to boot from it's hard drive (flashing ?/folder), which I'll be attempting to repair using DiskWarrior, etc.
    But it's also not finding and booting from the OS X installed on my external FireWire drive (which it could do under normal circumstances). How do I force it to do that given that I'm unable to set the Start Up Volume in the normal manner?
    PowerBook G4 17" 1.5GHz 512MB 80GB   Mac OS X (10.3.6)  

    Dale,
    Thanks for your response. I've been through the usual stuff as in your reference and I eventually got it to boot off the external HD by just leaving it long enough - it took maybe 10-15 minutes. I'm booted from it now. I hadn't thought of using the Startup Manager, but will try to remember next time.
    As for the internal HD, it's looking like it's dead - neither Disk Warrior nor Data Rescue II seem to be able to see it. I tried Disk Utility from the external HD, but it doesn't see it and nor does the Profiler. Maybe it's just a loose connection internally. There is a noise coming from the PB from about just under the division between the left hand rest and the speaker. It sort of sounds like a disk continually being read or written - ie. a sort of very rapid clicking, but I don't think it's the HD. And I don't think it's the fan. Anyone with any ideas before I call AppleCare?
    I did have a very similar problem a few weeks ago (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1465680#1465680), but Disk Warrior fixed it apparently with next to no problems. I was going to wipe the drive at the weekend & reinstall, but didn't get round to it in the end ... Fortunately I had a backup this time and was able to restore my user simply by copying it.

  • Firewire drives do not show up on network

    I have a G5 with 2 external drives, 1 firewire, 1 USB
    I have a G4 with 2 external drives, both firewire.
    When these computers are networked,
    The G5 sees the internal drives from the G4.
    The G4 sees the internal drives from the G5, as well as the connected USB drive.
    But neither computer sees the external firewire drives of the other computer.
    I used to see these drives and made aliases for them, but they do not show up now.
    I am using the admin accounts from each computer.
    G5 running 10.4.5
    G4 running 10.3.9
    What is the cause of this problem? How can I mount the firewire drives on the networked computers?

    I need to modify my question. I also have a G3 running 10.2.8
    Yesterday I noticed that the Network icon in the G5 sidebar had an eject symbol next to it. That seems strange, upon reflection, as if something was not right.
    I shut off all the machines for the evening.
    Today, I restarted all the machines. Chose Finder->Go->Connect to Server->Browse
    From each machine, I was able to see the external drives on the other machines, as well as the internal drives, over the network. I did not use nor install sharepoints. It just works (with an admin account).
    However, on the G5, there is an external firewire Firelite drive. It is formatted as Fat 32.
    It does not show up in the Browse window when I connect to the G5 from any computer. If I move it to the G4, it also does not show up when I connect to the G4 from any computer. So it does not seem to be related to the OS version.
    In other words, it seems that since the Firelite is Dos formatted, I cannot see it on the network, even though it is a firewire drive.
    So how can I fix this problem?

  • Has anyone been able to use an Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire to daisy chain a dozen or more FireWire drives?

    Ever since I realized that I was not able to connect my FireWire daisy chain to my brand new Retina MBP there has been problems. Four months down the road, I am still unable to use my FireWire drives and have experienced terrible problems whenever I connect my FireWire daisy chain to this new Mac.
    I have bought two of these adaptors from Apple now and both do the same thing. The daisy chain has been working perfectly for years with my older MBP and still does! There are no problems until I connect to the new Mac.
    I have 15 various hard drives in NewerTech and DatOptics enclosures for over 22 TB. When connected to the new Mac, I would have multiple apps just hang, sometimes just Apple apps, sometimes 3rd party. I will not be able to force quit them and they will keep relauching as you can watch them in the Force Quit window. The Finder will hang and there is no relaunching it. I am having to do a force shutdown twice an hour which leaves no time for work!
    After four months of this, now I am being told that Apple will buy back my Mac at full price. But I have basically lost the good part of four month’s worth of work because of constantly fighting the new Mac. This is cost me all my savings and I am about to lose a client. It certainly seems that releasing Thunderbolt1 was a huge, huge mistake.
    Does anyone know of any large Fire Wire daisy chain working with Thunderbolt?
    TIA,
    R

    Yes, my first post is all about how darn iffy the adaptors are and I have two of them to return now.
    I question your answer because I am betting that four drives that are in one enclosure NOT all RAIDed together as one drive, but as four separate drives that those four drive will count as four devices. The daisy chain that I had going had eight drives in TWO quad boxes, four drives in TWO dual drives and another drive in a single enclosure. A total of five “devices” if you will, but also a total of 13 drives that were usually in this daisy chain.
    Both of the Apple branded Thunderbolt to FireWire adaptors chocked BIG TIME on this and it works no problem on my older MBP. You basically can not use a new Mac when you are connected to a daisy chain like this!
    Just checked the Apple website and indeed, I can get a new MBP with FireWire 800, just not with the Retina display! I wish that I would have known this five months ago before this all started!

  • Can't install OSX on firewire drive?!?

    I have a brand new Mac Mini (specs below) and just purchased an OWC Ministack v2 for extra USB and Firewire ports, with a Hitachi 250GB drive in it.
    It's in 1394 mode, hooked up to the Mini, which recognizes it as a firewire drive. I'm able to copy files to it and open them fine, drive passes all tests.
    When I insert the Install Disc 1 that came with the Mac Mini, I run the installer, which boots up from the disc and askes for the destination. It sees the firewire drive, but says that I cannot install OSX on that volume.
    My question is, does the installer only allow you to install OSX on the Mini drive itself?!? Or is there something wrong with my drive? Anything I can do to get around this?
    I have a separate Tiger install CD, but the Mini can't run the installer (presumably because it's pre-Universal Binary?).
    THANKS a ton for your feedback, much appreciated.

    Aye that was certainly the reason behind the problems I recently had when I was setting up an external drive with my Intel MacBook Pro.
    After much testing and a little searching via Google, it would seem that Disk Utility was formatting the drive as an Apple Partition Map (APM) partition rather than a GUID Partition Table (GPT) that is necessary to use an external drive as a startup drive for an Intel Mac.

  • Cannot Boot from OSX on external firewire drive

    I recently bought a seagate hardrive and installed it in an external firewire casing. I partitioned it into two partitions, and installed osx 10.4.10 on one of the partitions, the same as is running on my Ti Book.
    I tried selecting the os on the firewire drive as the startup disk, but when i restart, after the grey screen i get the flashing question mark icon, until the mac recognises only the default osx on the internal drive and boots with that instead.
    That not working, i created a clone of my startup disk using DejaVu in my system preferences and saved it on the other, empty partition on the external drive and tried booting from that.
    On restarting, i get the grey screen once again as the backlight fires up, and nothing more. the screen remains grey without any further ado until i hold the power button and force it to turn off. then as i start it up again, up comes the flashing question mark icon followed by a boot from the internal drive.
    Any Solutions on this?
    Many Thanks, Neptune.

    Hi Dale,
    Whoops- everythings not as smooth as i thought it was!
    since i restored my internal drive, a lot of things have been really messed up, starting with, for example, iTunes reverting to version 4 instead of 7. that wasnt a problem, i still had the 7 installer, and soon had my whole music library back again. but the computer appears to have a problem with the handling of graphics. the finder wont create previews of even simple jpeg images, nor will it for video. quicktime wont open any video file, i get some random error message which i cant remember stating it could not open the file. and if i view my finder window in grid icon view, the usual blue mac os desktop image that i keep as a background in the finder window isnt there, instead its pitch black. same goes for the slideshow feature in the application graphic converter, i can start a slideshow and it will scroll through the images, but every image will instead be completely black. there are no scroll bars in itunes. i can scroll down randomly by clicking where the scroll bar should be, but there is nothing visual there at all, no scroll bar, no arrows. when i connect my ipod, the main ipod window of itunes wont display any graphics either, be it the picture of the ipod or the capacity bar indicating usage of the drive for music, videos, data, etc. instead, fine print says something similar to 'cannot display image, quicktime and lzw tiff decompression plugin (?) required' I cant remember word for word what it says, dont quote me on that.
    the computer also came to a dead freeze twice in ten minutes, i had to hold the power button down to get it to shut off.
    im sure there are other issues too which i havent yet noticed, but even these, i havent the faintest clue what could be causing them!
    do you?

  • Trouble with installing 10.5 from an external firewire drive

    I have a family pack of 10.5 and installed it just fine on my macbook. But, I'm having trouble getting my imac DVD player to read the DVD. It just spins and spits it out, and spins and spits it out. The imac is not covered under applecare so spending money to get the DVD drive fixed (which I barely use) is not something I want to do right now.
    Anyway, I followed instructions on a this website to install 10.5 from an external firewire drive. (http://iuseapple.com/blog/apple-how-to/advanced-os-x/2007/10/29/how-to-install-l eopard-from-external-firewire-hard-drive/)
    But I get stuck and am not able to actually get my imac to boot from the installer. Basically, I am able to use disk utility to create a copy of the disk image on my macbook. That resulting file ends in ".cdr" and it mounts when I double click it.
    And I partitioned my firewire hard drive without problems.
    I think I'm messing up when it comes to doing the restore. If I try to drag the .dmg mounted file in to the "source" it doesn't work (is greyed out). If I try to drag the mounted .dmg there than it works, but I get an error when I click "restore" (something about scans and images not being found). I tried physically copying the .dmg file onto the partition, but then when I plugged the HD into my imac, I wasn't able to get the imac to boot from the installer.
    What am I doing wrong? If someone could walk me through these last steps I'd appreciate it!

    Okay I finally got around to creating the bootable disk image of 10.5 using Carbon Copy Cloner. Still my iMac is not booting from the firewire drive!
    Here's a recap of everything I've tried. I'm at a complete loss now!
    - I partitioned the HD into 2 partitions-- a 10gig one for the 10.5 install, the then the rest for Time Machine. I make the partition in Disk Utility on my MacBook.
    - I've partitioned the drive a few times-- always partitioning it in APM format (b/c it needs to boot my non-intel iMac).
    - I've created the disk image using "restore" in disk utility. I've again tried this a few times.
    - I am able to boot my MacBook from the disk image I create! So I know the FW drive is able to be used to boot from!
    - Here's what I've tried in terms of getting the iMac to boot from the FW drive. It always just boots to my internal drive instead. Sometimes I briefly see a folder and question mark. I've tried all 3 FW ports. I've selected the install partition at start up in preferences. I've also held down the option key at start up (only my internal drive shows) and I've held down command-option-shift-delete and again I get the question mark and it boots to my internal drive.
    - And I installed Carbon Copy Cloner and made the disk image that way on my macbook. Still, I tried everything and the iMac is not able to boot from the firewire drive!
    Since my DVD drive is broken, this is the only way for me to install 10.5! Help!

  • Do i have to have a firewire drive to hold snow leopard

    i plan on updating to lion.  presently i have snow leopard and am using a 250gb firewire drive as my backup.  rather than to go thru the partitioning process, i'll probably purchase an additional external drive to serve as backup and keep the drive filled with snow leopard when i want to boot it.
    vice versa, i may want to transfer snow leopard to a 1tb usb drive i already have, and boot it when i need snow leopard.  thus, i would use the former snow leopard backup firewire drive as the new lion backup drive.  whew!
    any suggestions as to whether or not usb would be ok?
    thanks,

    lanny, not quite sure of your question but i believe this answers it:  4 usb 2.0 ports and a firewire 800 port.  also have a combination usb/firewire hub.
    drives are firewire 400(with adapter cable for 800) and usb 2.

  • External Firewire Drive not Mounting

    Hi, I've been searching these forums but can't find an aswer to my question. I just got a new 27" iMac, and purchased a Thunderbolt-to-Firewire adapter. I have 3 external Firewire drives, two of which are DC powered (the third, I understand, might be a lost cause, as it's bus powered, and I gather the bus power from TB won't power Firewire drives). At any rate, I'm not seeing either of the DC powered drives showing up, which is a big concern as I have about 5TB of stuff on them!
    Any reason these wouldn't show up, either in the Finder or Disk Utility? Much thanks for any help!

    Hi - did you ever resolve the dropouts? I have a new iMac purchased in Q1 2014 and connect my G-Grive to it via the Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter. My iMac runs 24x7 and this connection drops out on a regular basis - I'd say maybe once every week or so. I have a slightly newer USB3 G-Drive which is connected by the USB socket next to the TB socket on my iMac.
    I cannot tell if it is a software issue or a physical (cable movement issue), the plug has never been out and I can't deliberately disconnect it at will by wobbling the cable/plug. So, evidence and experimentation suggests the physical connection is not the issue. This problem has only come about after switching from a physical FW800 connection (my old iMac) to working via a TB adaptor (my new iMac).

  • Not able to connect to firewire drive on network

    Hey there knowledgeable people I'm having problems connecting to a firewire drive on a network at home any help greatly appreciated. here's the set up.
    G5 has 5 firewire drives daisy-chained together and there's also a lone USB drive attached to it as well. G5 is plugged into (via eternet) an eternet hub. my powerbook is also plugged into the network via the hub. I can see/access all the drives on the G5 (including the USB) but there's one firewire drive that I can't see (it is formatted FAT32, is that an issue?). I've tried plugging it into the G5 on its own without going through the daisy-chain but still nothing.
    any thoughts as to why? oh and both computers are running 10.5.2
    cheers, Julian

    Never mind my question any more. I reformatted the drive in question to Mac Journaled and presto it shows up on the network no probs.

  • Unanswered Replacement Hard Drive Questions

    Hello everyone,
    Recently I've been researching upgrading my internal hard drive in anticipation for Leopard and new features. Almost all posts on this topic have pointed towards using SuperDuper and an external firewire drive to make a clone. That's awesome and all but here's a few extra questions:
    1)What's the maximum size (GB) SATA drive my iMac will recognize? Is their a limit?
    2)Will this void my 3-Year Apple Care Plan if I do it myself?
    3)Does SuperDuper provide instructions on how to boot and install the clone? If not how is this done?
    Thanks in advance for the insight.

    Welcome to Discussions -
    1. There is no limit to the size of SATA drive you can put in your iMac
    2. Replacing the drive will not void your warranty unless you have an iSight, which you don't.
    3.. SD provides clear and detailed instructions, they are easy to understand and it's a great program
    Hope this answers all your questions,

  • Can firewire drives in series sometimes cause system failure?

    We have had problems with a 2007 iMac (23") locking up at times. We have AppleCare, and have run numerous tests to try to elucidate the problem.
    After the Apple service center here could not find any problem during several days of testing, we've been doing some testing back in our office. Here's what we seemed to have discovered:
    Problems SOMETIMES seem to arise when two firewire drives are connected in series to the firewire 800 port. One is a LaCie d2 Big Disk USB 2.0 & FireWire 800 , the other is an OWC Mercury Elite Firewire 800 Pro. Our normal way of running these has been with the LaCie as the outermost of the two. We discovered that we seem to be free of problems if the order is reversed and the LaCie is off, though she can also run for (at least) a while with the LaCie on, as well.
    I'm theorizing that our problems may be related to one of two things:
    1) Conflict between the way the two drives, and the iMac, implement the firewire 800 standard.
    2) Startup problems when the firewire drives are turned on more-or-less simultaneously. One drive could be in a state where its interface is transitioning from "pass through" (drive off) stage to the "active" (drive on) state.
    My question is this: Is anyone aware of any problem like this? Is it understandable that such a problem could affect the system enough to even freeze up the system?

    Sure external devices can cause issues with your Mac if it's causing some kind of hardware problem with the Firewire bus-- drawing too much power, over or under voltage etc.. Some iMacs just have problems with the FW ports themselves. Sometime resetting the SMC will fix it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543?viewlocale=en_US
    I have two FW800 drives from OWC daisy chained and I have not had any issues at all. I would try and isolate the two drives if possible to see if the problem persists. Disconnect one of the drives for a few days and use just one drive. Then switch and connect only the other drive for a few days. Then maybe try one of them on FW800 and the other on USB. The FW400 and 800 share the same bus so it may not be any differnt testing one on each if it ends up being a power issue. I wouldn't think it's a power issue though because the external drives have their own power and should not be drawing any power from the computer. But you never know
