I need help getting the right PCIe Raid Controller card.

I have a Mac Pro 3.33 GHz (6 core) computer running 10.8.2. I purchased a Sans Digital TR4M+ http://www.sansdigital.com/towerraid-/tr4mplus.html which includes a Highpoint RR622 card but it's not bootable. I need a non-expensive card which is bootable. I'm currently using the drives in JBOD mode.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm currently using the drives in JBOD mode.
The RAID features built into Disk Utility support JBOD, Mirroring, and Striping without the use of a card.
RAID methods that require checksum calculation, (e.g., RAID 5) always require a card to provide adequate speed.
Consider whether you really NEED your Mac OS X Boot Volume to be on a RAID at all. A great deal of its data is either invariant (Mac OS X code and Applications code) or temporary ( caches). If damaged, Mac OS X and Applications can be rebuilt from DVDs in a few hours.
Moving the Users files off to another Volume is a great way to speed up your Mac Pro, since it reduces competition for the busy Boot Drive.

  • Need help finding the right codec to play QT files

    Like many others who have posted, all the quicktime files on my drive have turned to black. Previously when I opened the file, I saw picture and sound. Now every single file has only audio, but the picture is black.
    I am operation on Mac O.S. 10.4.11. I am using Quicktime Pro 7.5. I have been trying to fix this problem for a month now. Many people have suggested I need to find the right codec, but so far I have not found it. I have tried: A52codec.component, AC3codec, MacOS 8.x, 9.1.x, Apple Intermediate Codec.com, Apple MPEG2.codec.component, Avilmporter-r7.component, DivX Decoder.component, DivX Encoder.component, DivX Pro 6.8.0.19 + keymaker, EnsharpEncoderMacOsX.cmg, Fbx 20091quicktime_macemu.pkg.tar, Fbx QT.pkg, Flipsformac, WMV Advanced.component, Flipsformac WMV Advanced Exports.component, Flipsformac WMV Import.component, IMXCodec.component, LAAME Universal Installer.mpkg, LAAMEncoder.component, QSSP_2.1.dmg, QSXEssentials.component, QSXEssentials.dmg, QTFvx.component, Red Quicktime Codec v3.1.pkg, Red Code iedcod.qt.component, Spectrograph.component, TSCC.component xiphqt.component, XviD_codec-r58.component, XviDELEGATE.component
    Nothing worked!
    I also tried to install Perian. This did not work.
    What should I do? Should I re-install my operating system and start over? About a month ago, all the video clips played just fine. Is there any solution?
    Thanks

    Hi Wangerer!
    I haven't even heard of half of those! You may have reached overkill on codecs!
    Get rid of some of them and read this:
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.1, QT 7.3, 7.4.x and 7.5 and OS 10.4.11.
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.11 and have Quicktime 7.4 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
    Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2
    and then the latest version obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    and installed.
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
    In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-004. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
    There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
    On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
    On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
    And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
    http://silverlight.net/
    So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):
    http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
    FOOTNOTE
    If you are running Leopard:
    Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1

  • Need help selecting the right MBP for me, just bought a pc with Windows 8 and I already regret it..

    Ok, so I'm an engineering student and I am in need of a good laptop to run programming and design type software. I have an older iMac which I love but I need the portability of a laptop for school. I was thinking I would be fine with a pc since most of the software I would be using for school is windows based. So last night, after shopping around for quite a bit, I decided to go with a Sony Vaio E series laptop with Windows 8, 8gb ram, i7 processor, dedicated graphics card, 1tb hard drive, and touch screen. It was the best performance laptop (on paper) Best Buy had in the store for just under $1000. I would have loved to get an upper end MBP but they are over twice the price as the Sony.. So I get it home with the Vaio and it feels laggy and glitchy, it takes 2 seconds for the window to pop up after 'right clicking', I can see lines in the screen, the resolution seems far from HD when on the normal looking windows side (as opposed to the tablet look, forgive my poor terminology) and the web browser, and the touch pad seems to be hit or miss in that it doesn't always register the touch pad commands. I checked all of the visual and performance settings, made the resolution as high as possible, changed some of the settings to the high performance settings, made sure all of my drivers were updated, and the only effect was a very loud fan that runs constantly.
    So in short, I am going to take this back and start looking at the macbook pros. Here's my dilemna, I don't know which specs I will definitely need in a Macbook Pro. I need to be able to run windows on it either in parallel or as a partition for my programs necessary for school. Can the MBP run windows smoothly enough to run 3D design types of programs? If so, which one should I get? I love the size of the 13" MBP but it only has a dual core processor, instead of the quad core like the 15" MBP, I'm not sure if I definitely need the quad over the dual core. I would love a solid state MBP but they are out of my price range and not enough space if I end up partitioning it.
    Sorry for the book, but school starts Monday and I need some direction to find out which one I need to get fairly quickly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Take a look at this MBP, a refurbished unit.  Don't let the late 2011 release date put you off.  For about  $500 less than an equivalent 'new' one with similar specifications you get a quad core CPU and excellent graphics.  As Steve359 mentioned, this can be upgraded if the need arises and has the same warranty as a 'new' one
    I would not be surprised that these may actually be 'new' MBPs due to the length of time that they have been replaced by the current generation.  I purchased a 17" model about 5 weeks ago, and a serial number check suggests that it is 9 weeks old.

  • Need help getting the wireless driver for my x120e.

    This has been the most difficult thing ever. I have literally tried all of the wireless LAN and WAN drivers under all 4 of the x120e driver options. Which is odd because there are 4 options for the x120e when you search for it. As shown here: (http://i.imgur.com/4K9sB.png). I would love some help in getting the correct driver. Any and all help is appreciated, let me know if there is any other information needed.

  • I need to play a DVD that was created on a microsoft machine on my Mac and need help finding the right converter software.

    I have received a "Data DVD" that was made on a windows machine and need to play it on my mac but am having trouble finding the right player or converter.I would like a free application if possible. Thank You,JerryStephen:-)

    I think I understand now.  The DVD has an auto start player (exe) that steps through the video's, html, whatever. Your gonna need windows or you'll be forced to look at the individual pieces seperately.  Html's you can open, idx files are subtitles, the video format is avi I'm guessing or maybe wma.
    Try this first, get the VLC player from video_lan.  It's a great tool to have in your toolbox.  It should play the video files at least (including subtitles).  VLC can play almost any format.

  • Need help getting the powerbook to see the hard drives

    I have been working on the Powerbook G4 17 inch. I am trying to reinstall the Mac OS 10.4 but when I get to the screen where I have to select a disk none show up. I have tied going in to disk utility and formating the drive but I get error codes. I them tried to reset the PRAM and it did not work. Now the mouse pad is not working and I can't get the start up disk to work.

    well I did not write it down but the hard drive has dismounted and now when I hold down the option key during start up it does not show the drives. It will however show the install disk. Now when I try to boot the disk it will not boot. The only thing I can think of is the original install disk needs to be out in the computer. The owner does not have one and I own MacBook's.

  • Need help getting the digits without the decimal

    I have a number such as 6711.00425532 , how can I get the 6711 without rounding this number up or down. In another words, I don't care with any number after the period, all I need is whatever the number before the period, as is.
    If the number is 23.02345,  I need to get just the 23
    If the number is 344.985430,  I need just the 344
    Is this possible?

  • Need help getting the syntax.

    Hi All,

    While using the following syntax not getting the output required...
    1) <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'v_l',xdofx:(nvl(V_COUNT,0)+nvl(V_COUNT1,0)+nvl(V_COUNT2,0)+nvl(V_COUNT3,0)+2)?>
    2) <?xdofx: xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'v_l',(nvl(V_COUNT,0)+nvl(V_COUNT1,0)+nvl(V_COUNT2,0)+nvl(V_COUNT3,0)+2)?>
    tried both the syntax but not getting the output.....
    Please let me know your valuable advices how it can be used.
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    Hi kwin,
    Thanks for your reply...
    V_COUNT, V_COUNT1, V_COUNT2, V_COUNT3 are present in data xml. but in different groups..for some parameters V_COUNT or V_COUNT1 will not be present in data file..
    so we will get null value for those...so when i add (V_COUNT+ V_COUNT1+ V_COUNT2+ V_COUNT3) i am getting value as NaN...so i used nvl function it worked fine..but this sum value need to be stored in in a variable..
    Hope you understand...
    Thanks

  • Need help get the sound timed to the picture

    Photoshop elements 12. On a PC. How do you get the sound  to time with the picture when you are trying to edit it?

    That makes more sense.    I wish could help specifically, but I use another NLE video application.
    Was the audio recorded separately or at the same time as the video? If the latter, I'm pretty sure Premiere should lock the audio event with the video as you move it. (At least most NLEs do.)

  • After reverting back to Garageband 6.0, I find that I still lack all the Garageband Effects (Distortion, Vocal Transformer, etc.). The Garageband 10 "AU" plug ins are there instead. I need help getting the old effects back.

    For background: I lost my v6 because I had to reformat my whole hard drive. When I reformatted I lost GB and everything else I had. I downloaded GB (unaware of the awfulness that is v10) from the App Store. The fact that v10 does not have all my favorite and most used effects from v6, I uninstalled v10 and redownloaded v6 from my App Store Purchases. I load up v6 only to find that all the default effects are there for each instrument, but when I go to add an effect (i.e. Distortion, Vocal Transformer, Flanger, etc.), instead of the list of classic effects, there's the list of awful AU effects from v10. What gives?!

What gives?!
    For me, the "Edit" panel in GB6.0.5 looks like this:
    Are you saying, that the upper part with "GarageBand Effects" is missing?
    Then check, what is installed in your System Library in the folder
    /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/
    (the topmost "Library" folder on your Hard Drive.
    You may need to restore the old GarageBand effects and Track settings files from your backup:
    i.e look into the folder /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Plug-In Settings/
    and restore the settings for Chorus, Flanger, Vocal Transformer, Tremolo, whatever effects you are missing.
    And also look for missing files in "Track Settings" folder and "Sampler" folder.
    What kind of backup do you have? If you have a Time MAchine backup, go back in time to the time before you upgraded to GB 10.

  • I need help getting the software updates

    i was constantly disconnecting from the internet when playing online games on the mac side of my hard drive until i got a software update, but i dont think the update carried over to my windows xp partition, so i still frequently disconnect when playing games on windows, anybody know what the problem is or how i can get the software updates on the windows side?

    i dont think the update carried over to my windows xp partition
    Of course it didn't. Mac updates don't affect windows, and vice versa.

  • KT4 Ultra (6590) need update of the Promise SATA RAID Controller PDC20376

    The last Bios update AMI 1.4 for the KT4 Ultra (6590) have built in the bios version 1.00.0.18 for the PDC20376 (Promise 376).
    I can configure 2 maxtor (6E040T0) sata1 in a raid0 array and it works under WinXP SP3,
    but the 2 drives are working in UDMA5 according to the FastBuild Utility when the motherboard specifications talks about 150Mb (SATA1).
    It's not an OS problem because the FastBuild Utility at Bios startup show the UDMA5 mode for HDD.
    It's not a Maxtor 6E040T0 (SATA1) problem because have no jumper to set.
    The Promise support center don't provide support for built in raid controller but the responce was that it's related to a known bios issue of the controller, so i have to update.
    For the last Bios version for the S150 TX4 controller look at:
    http://promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=108&category=all&os=100&go=GO
    It's impossible to update the bios with the promise tool because the controller is integrated in the motherboard.
    I read for example than on the motherboard K7N2 Delta-ILSR the bios version of the Promise 376 controller is 1.00.0.21:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=92756.msg665966#msg665966
    I think the only solution is a modding bios, where i have to replace only the Promise controller bios but:
    1) The tool amibcp.exe can't open the A6590VMS.140 AMI bios (renamed .rom), i don't know why!!!
    2) What promise controller bios rom file is good?
    Can anyone out there help . . . please ?

    This is my results compared to my other UDMA6 HDD on IDE1, HDTach long bench stop with "Read Error" and only quick bench works.
    The version of the Controller driver under WinXP-SP3 is 1.0.1.29 and I configured the driver in the PAM Utility with:
    "Driver Write Cache" enabled and "Write Back" as cache settings (The 2 Maxtor SATA1 in RAID have 2MB of cache, but i don't know How many cache have the controller!!).
    The Burst Speed is too strange!!! quick bench error?
