How to run a thunderbolt hard disk on my old mac

Hi,
I heard from Western Digital supplier here in my country(Malaysia) that they will no longer come out with Firewire 800 hard disk and replace with Thunderbolts.
My company uses FW800 HDD for our Video Editing jobs and I would like to ask is there any ways that I can run Thunderbolts HDD on my old Mac Pros?
As far as I know, all my office machines does not have Thundebolts and it would cost a bomb for us to change all the Mac Pro.
I was told that they will be using USB3.0 for the upcoming batch of HDD but it will be still slow to use USB to work comparing to FW or Thunderbolt. Also our Mac Pros does not have USB3.0 ports as well so plugging in USB3.0 will only run at normal speed.
Would appreciate if anyone can share their knowledge and help me here.
Thanks
Best Regards,
Alistair.

There is no way to use Thunderbolt with a Mac Pro.  There are PCI-e USB 3 cards for the Mac Pro, such as from CalDigital, but read closely about drivers.
You do';t have to buy FW800 drives from WD.  You can buy the bare SATA drives then install them in FW800 enclosures from other companies.  If the drives are larger than 2.2 TB, make sure the enclosure supports them,
For fast external storage you can use PCI-e cards to connect to external drive enclosures.  There are simple cards, such as
<http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXPCIE6G2S2/>
or more elaborate ones, with features such as RAID, eight SATA ports, support for enclosures with port multipliers, etc.
This card
<http://www.firmtek.com/seritek/seritek-q6g/>
can support twenty SATA drives (four port multiplier enclosures with five drives each) for up to 80 TB.
You can use up to three cards.

    can I use the osx disks from my old mac mini to upgrade my macbook pro so i can then get a further free upgrade

    You can not use a DVD that shipped with one Mac to load on to another. To upgrade to Snow Leopard you will need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD.

  • How do I erase my hard drive on my old mac G4 I have tried several suggestions without success

    I have the old install discs, have opened old mac holding down the C key and have move to disk utility.  I clicked on erase and Mac  HD and get a screen involving remving free space but unable to click on any options--all gray.  Any help out there?

    What happens when you select the drive itself (top line with makers designation and size) rather than the volume (Macintosh HD)?
    You should lose the 'free space' option but have the 'security options' and 'erase' buttons live.
    Then try the 'partition' tab (still with the drive selected) - select '1 partition' from the drop down and see if the volume information on the right and the buttons at the bottom become live.
    If they do, proceed from there - name the HD, select the format and click 'apply'.

  • At only 15 months of age, my MacPro crashed yesterday! Any idea how I can save my hard disk from being destroyed if I hand it in for repair?

    Open it up. Buy a new replacement drive. Install Mac OS. Then give it to them if you still have trouble.
    As for the install failing,
    I never do the older "archive and install"
    I format and initialize first, even zero the drive, and only then install.
    of course all the data is lost.
    Data Rescue 3 demo can scan a drive but you need to have setup a 2nd boot drive to work from, AND you would need part of that 2nd drive partition for recovery of data. 30-50GB system partition and 150% the size of the drive you want to recover.
    TimeMachine I never adopted or liked but 350% and would only use as secondary backup with cloned copy of your drive.
    Backups can be scheduled, run at night or weekend or both, a weekly clone and daily sets.
    Disk Warrior 4.2+ is another $100 (DR3 is about same but demo is free to try).
    A spare external drive case $30? and TWO hard drives, a replacement and backup/recovery $100 each?
    Just some ideas to throw out there....
    Bootable clones though you will find are very useful, handy.
    I like the small 40GB emergency boot partition - put one on your TimeMachine drive etc.
    LION: the one good thinig: it has a recovery mode partition and new Macs have "net install" feature and minimal hardware diagnostic over the internet to do Apple Hardware Test. Lion $30 and might actually want to install it on external.
    So DO try installing OS X on one of your external drives - create 40GB volume just for that - if you can please.

  • Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes?

    Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes without losing them?

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • Running an external hard disk

    Hi all
    I've connected a firewire hard disk (Lacie) to my Mac Mini and it has been running fine. Regularly, the firewire hard disk power down and then power up when I access the disk using Finder.
    Is it normal? If so, could I leave the disk connected all the time? Or, is it better to switch on the disk only when I need to access it?

    Yes, it's normal. If you don't want your disk to spin down, go to System Preferences > Energy Saver and uncheck "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible".

  • How do i erase my hard disk

    How do I erase my hard disk to prepare for resale?

    Prepare Your Mac for Sale
    Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer.  After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.  After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab.  Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button.  Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button.  Then click on the Erase button.
    Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive.  If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive.  The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
    This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive.  After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Now complete the OS X installation.  At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer.  Instead just shut it off.  The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

  • How can I erase my hard disk with OS X 10.8.2?

    How can I erase my hard disk with OS X 10.8.2?

    If you want to erase the hard disk and reinstall OS X, follow these steps:
    1. Back up your data to an external disk if you don't want to lose everything. When you erase a hard disk, everything is deleted.
    2. Press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
    3. Select Macintosh HD on the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    4. After erasing the disk, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X, so OS X will be installed with factory settings.
    Don't forget to install iLife applications after the installation, if you need them. They come in the Applications DVD (if your Mac came with Snow Leopard or older), or open App Store > Purchases and download them
