Is there any SATA PCI card support G5?

since there is only 2 HDD bay inside the G5, and all of theres are full already, i'm planning to get 2 more HDD, can i just add a SATA PCI card, then simply just plug 2 more HDD with the PCI Card?

Also, you might want to look into port-multiplier solutions.
I have a PCI-X G5, so you may have different options, but I started out with a Firmtek Seritek 1VE4, with 4 external SATA connections. I have now exhausted those 4 connections, so I replaced it with a Lycom eSATA 4-port which supports multiplication (5 drives per port, for total of 20 drives)
MacGurus is very knowledgeable about the SATA expansion options for all desktop Macs.
You can get single-drive chassis, which often have eSATA, Firewire and/or USB ports, or go for a 4- or 5-tray enclosure, which often let you hotswap drives in and out.

  • Is there any Sound card 5.1 include stereo mix that working with MacBook Air such as Creative Labs SoundBlaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro Entertainment System ? and if there any another sound card can you tell me what is it please ? Thank you.

    Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
    This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
    Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
    Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

  • SATA PCI card in powermac, which one?

    Im looking for a SATA PCI card for a power mac and was wondering what is the cheapest option can I use any card or just ones specifically made for mac?
    Any help appreciated.

    A controller card plugs directly into the computer's hardware. An adapter lets you plug a SATA drive into another interface which in turn plugs into the computer. I don't have experience with either but I suspect the controller would be faster since the adapter would be limited by the speed and maybe even drive size limitations (if such) for whatever interface you were using. It depends upon the computer. For which kind are you thinking of buying one?

  • Sata PCI card

    I have a G4 dual 450 and would like to install a sata pci card so I can use a raid subsystem for my company. Will this G4 support the sata PCI card?

    Hi! The G4 can support a SATA card though check for bootability on RAID cards. I use a Sonnet Sata card and it is bootable but the one I use is not a raid card. Tom

  • LG GGC-H20L with Sonnet Tempo Sata Pci Card into Powermac G5

    Hello dear Community.
    I have a LG GGC-H20L HD-DVD/Blu Ray Drive. And a Sonnet Tempo SATA PCI Card.
    The Problem is, that the Computer cant find the LG GGC-H20L Drive. The Sonnet Tempo Card it find. Broke i drivers? And where i can get it?
    Can one of you Help me?

    I made sure there was a good 'thunk' as it slotted in to the PCI slot everytime I installed it, I wiggled it to make sure, I applied reasonable pressure to make sure it was seated correctly, etc. I tried everything, short of using a hammer! Still no joy. I have a PCI firewire card which works perfectly in all slots.
    I've sent it back to the supplier for a replacement/upgrade to the Tempo-X 4+4.
    Thanks for the tips.

  • Can't I get Xcode for leopord for free? or is there any other compiler which supports many languages?

    can't I get Xcode for leopord for free? or is there any other compiler which supports many languages?

    XCode is Apple's official SDE (as in Software Development Environment). It is meant to be used to develop all kinds of full-fledged applications, which are organized as projects. To use it that way, you run the main XCode front end, called appropriately enough Xcode. In the older versions of the product, prior to Lion's v4.3.x, everything was found inside the /Developer folder located at the root of the boot volume. (If you ever move on to Lion, XCode 4 is now an app found in the Applications folder and there is no longer a /Developer folder.)
    An alternate way to access the compilers is via command-line mode in Terminal, on traditional Unix fashion. After installing XCode, it will have set up the PATH variable to point to the appropriate directories so that gcc and its ilk are directly accessible. For instance (note that silverflash is the name of my Mac and my userid is macjuan):
    silverflash:~ macjuan$ which gcc
    /usr/bin/gcc
    silverflash:~ macjuan$ gcc -v

  • Bought wrong e-SATA PCI Card and seek advice on the right one to buy

    I have a MacPro bought in 2006 with Intel Processor but still having the old MAC OS X 10.4.11 Tiger version.
    I bought an e-SATA PCI card : http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXPCIE6GS2/
    But I realised first that I could not insert it. The distance between the slots in the mother board and the external exit whole to fix the card and not compatible (card too short). Furthermore the card specs says that it requires max OS 5 version or later.
    So what do you recommend that would go physically in the slot and at the same time fitting with my MAC OS 4.11 version ? This card is to be used to connect external drives suing e-SATA connections.

    Nothing wrong with using that card in your Mac Pro. The card will fit in your MP's slots, so if you are unable to seat it then you aren't doing something correctly. The specs say the card is backward compatible with PCI-e 1.0 slots.
    You will have to upgrade your OS to the requisite version. Given the cost of Leopard you may wish to instead upgrade to Snow Leopard.

  • SATA PCI Card reads Paralell now.

    I have purchased and installed a Serial PCI Card that supposedly allows me to use a serial ATA hard drive. 7200 RPM, serail quickness all good things to want on my old Digital Audio. It does lalow me to see and use the newer serial hard drtive, BUT, the System Profiler registers it as a SCSI Parallel drive.
    The drive itself is a Western Digital WDC WD2500JS-00N 250 gb's.
    Did I purchase the wrong PCI Card or any idea of what is taking place here? Can't recall what the name of the card is or any tech data about it.
    thanx,

    It is reporting as SCSI because it is designed to work with the SCSI disk driver software, not SATA drivers. It will run the drives at their full speed, but if the SATA drives have some functions that are not supported by SCSI, those functions will not be available. S.M.A.R.T. might be one of those functions. Does Disk Utility show S.M.A.R.T. status for those drives?

  • Is there any PXI oscilloscope card, with sampling rate 1Gs/s or higher

    Hi all
    In my test lab, I am using TDS684B oscilloscope. Is there any PXI card which can perform the same function as TDS684B? I searched the NI catalogue and they don�t have 1Gs/s sampling rate scope. Is there any other vendor for PXI and may be they might have. Please give me suggestion?
    Many thanks.
    Saw

    I would say that Acqiris is worth a look. They have very good software support for their hardware. One can actually simulate hardware using they software while debugging at home or consulting. I have also used Gage and that product was pretty pathetic in terms of software support and hardware flexibility (it was 4yrs ago so perhaps that has changed)

  • Is there any Airport Extreme card diagnostic software?

    Is there any diagnostic software, or open firmware commands I can use to track down and diagnose problems with my Airport Extreme card?
    Are there any hardware tests that can be performed on it?
    At a higher level, is there anything I can do to diagnose problems with connections to an Access Point? (I don't have an Airport base station, unfortunately, I recall there being lots of tools for this).
    I've looked in /var/log/system.log, but it's not too helpful - contrast this with the vast amount of diagnostics you get on (say) a Linux system... can you enable some "debug mode"?
    Can I monitor received / transmitted signal strength from the card?
    iBook G4 ~900MHz   Mac OS X (10.3.4)   Airport Extreme card, D-Link DSL-G604T AP

    Don, thanks for the reply.
    In this case, it's not a problem with my ISP, as I can access Internet sites from other systems connected to my wireless/LAN router that are connected on the LAN.
    It's not a problem with the wireless side of the wireless router, as I can connect from other wireless systems.
    I do have problems where resetting the router is the only cure, but this isn't one of them!
    The symptoms I was having on the Mac side were:
    a) I saw only grey bars in the signal strength status icon - i.e. useless signal.
    b) I clicked it, and did 'Turn AirPort off', then 'on' again - this usually 'kicks' most problems.
    c) this didn't result in a good connection - Internet Connect showed that the AirPort Extreme card was connecting to the correct network and base station ID, then disconnecting after a few seconds.
    (Similar to that discussed at
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=380635 )
    It looked like my AirPort Extreme had developed a fault (gone 'deaf')... I opened the iBook, reseated the card, clicked the antenna lead back in, but this had no effect.
    At this stage, I was ready to take the iBook into the Regent St. Genius Bar, but out of desperation, re-entered the connection details / WPA personal password in System Preferences.... and it all started working!
    So I don't currently have a problem, but would like to know if there is any hardware diagnostic for the card, so I can rule out hardware fault in future.

  • MDD with SATA PCI card, what is largest drive possible?

    I have recently bought a Sonnet Tempo PCI SATA card for my MDD, is there a maximum size to the SATA HDD which I can attach to this card?
    I want to use it mainly to store videos etc.

    If the drive is to ever be bootable, 2TB is the largest partition that you can use.
    Not sure what Sonnet has tested with that card, but the Firmtek controller that it carries will support 2 TB for sure.

  • MBP 2010 Mavericks SATA PCI Card not working

    Hello there,
    with Mountain Lion I had no problems with my LaCie SATA II ExpressCard 34, but after installing Mavericks this card is not working anymore.
    http://www.lacie.com/de/support/support_manifest.htm?id=10274
    I contacted Lacie Support, they do not have an actual driver.
    So I bought a Sonnett Tempo SATA Pro 6Gb ExpressCard/34 which should work with Mavericks.
    Unfortunately my MBP from 2010 does not. Sonnett offers a workaround http://www.sonnettech.com/support/kb/kb.php?cat=466&expand=_a3_a1_a2&action=b778 #b778
    After installing this I could use the card when I plugged it in AFTER systemstart. If the card is plugged in when the computer is started, the compter will not start at all. So, if I like to use an external drive as startvolume with this card, it is useless.
    Does anybody have the same problem and any solution?
    Will there be an update for Mavericks regarding this problem?
    Thanks for Feedback

    I can't offer any solutions, my MBP doesn't have an Expresscard slot, but it seems like no one else has answered so I thought I'd offer a suggestion. Contact Other World Computing at Macsales.com. They specialize in Mac hardware and may be able to supply you with a card that works.
    As for the "will there be an update" question, we're all just users here so we have no idea what Apple will do.
