Issues with Seagate in crowded Mac Pro?

I have a 2009 8-core Nehalem. All four drive bays are occupied. Until recently, the drives were all Western Digital. I upped my system drive to a Seagate ST31500 1.5TB and my Time Machine drive to a Seagate ST32000542 (2TB 5400 RPM), Within a few days, the system drive was scrambled and would no longer boot. Looking at it with both Disk Utility and TechTool Pro, it appeared that the B-tree was corrupted but recoverable. Still, the disk would no longer boot. I messed around with it for a couple of days, finally gave up, and exchanged the drive for a new one. New one ran fine for a month, and then...
I bought a new 32000542 for use an an external archive. Since I could test it more quickly internally than via USB, I swapped out one of my WD drives and stuck the Seagate into my chassis. At that point, the boot drive got scrambled again in exactly the same way. It will no longer boot, even after repair.
It's my suspicion that this is power-related. I wonder if there's something in the power-on sequencing that might cause a spike or a low voltage to which the Seagate is particularly vulnerable. I wonder if anyone can confirm a similar issue. I'm getting a little tired of replacing system disks right when I have something important to do.
At this point, I should point out that I always run full surface scans on new drives, and these all passed. My WD drives (500GB and 640GB) are just fine and have not been affected by this problem. Many thanks for comments on similar experiences or solutions.

Although you are moving in the direction of larger drives, some others are moving to a very small Boot drive, containing only System + Library + Applications + Paging. Reducing competition for the Boot drive by moving User files off eliminates a bottleneck and speeds up everything you do. I run one on an 80GB Velociraptor, and it seems very speedy, and another on a cheap 30GB SSD, about half full.
Since you did not explicitly say you were powering off when swapping drives, I want to be sure all reading this thread understand that Mac OS X does NOT support Hot swapping Internal drives, despite the fact that these Macs are equipped with Hot-swapping style SATA connectors.

  • Why are there so many problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro ???

    Hi everybody out there using Mac Pro's early 2008,
    I found out there is a lot of problems with the early 2008 Mac Pro.
    My early 2008 Mac Pro has been repaired ones under warranty and now it stopped working again ! Also see under: Mac Pro early 2008 no chime and does not start up. Why is this ????
    It worked well for about 2 years and then it just fails and i had this failing issue twice already !!! Is this just a BAD Apple product or how do you think I need to approach this. Let’s face it, these machine don’t come cheap and you at least expect them to work without problems for 4-5 years. What is happening here ???

  • Having start-up issues with my 1st gen Macbook Pro

    Hi everyone. I just started having start-up issues with my first generation Macbook Pro. It was working fine the other day when I last used it, but today I went to use it and it wont load up to my desktop...? It starts up (grey screen with the little swirly bar under the apple,) then it goes to a blue screen, then my background and dock appear, then (before any of my desktop files even show up,) it goes to a blue screen (that brightens up and then dims a little,) and it just keeps showing this with a little swirly progress symbol (shows when the screen is darker blue, then disappears when the screen is a brighter blue.) I've included a video that I took with my iPhone to show it situation. Any ideas as to what's wrong with it? Thanks in advance!

    Safe Boot by restarting your computer while holding down the "shift" key.  Safe booting disables all nonessential processes, often times allowing you to start up when you would otherwise crash.
    As of OS X 10.5.6 Safe Boot deletes the dynamic loader shared cache location in the /var/db/dyld directory.  A corrupt cache here can cause the blue screen crash.  Once you restart normally, the cache will be recreated.  This should take care of the issue.

  • ID CS2 Software issues on multiple drives on Mac Pro

    While trying to launch InDesign CS2 on a new Mac Pro I found it did not want to launch from the second drive where I keep my customer files. To resolve this issue I reformated the 2nd HD as a Mac OS Extended (Journeled) format which fixed the problem. I don't understand what makes the differance with the operation but would like to know. Any idea.

    I am assuming this is a custom-built dust prevention solution, yes?
    Anyways, I received my replacement SuperDrive and just realized that due to Windows and Mac's limitations in regards to hard drives larger than 2.2 TB, I can't have any of my 3TB drives with both OS X and Windows without having at least two separate HFS partitions on them since the Windows partition must be in the fourth partition, requiring OS X to be in partition 2, Recovery in partition 3, and the combined size of these first four partitions must be under 2.2 TB.
    At least that's my understanding.  I currently have three 3 TB drives and one 1 TB drive (which contains Windows XP and 7 only).
    I'm not really not sure if Windows has to be in the fourth partition because as I mentioned, my 1 TB drive has EFI in partition 1, Windows XP in partition 2, and Windows 7 in partition 3.  I have OS 10.9 on one 3 TB drive, OS 10.7 on the second 3 TB drive, and no OS on the third 3 TB drive.  I would prefer to install Windows 8 on that third 3 TB drive and yet have only one HFS partition because my desktop is already seemingly over-crowded with all the internal drives and partitions it has (I also have a 500GB SSD drive which is my 10.10 boot volume, plugged into one of the two unused SATA motherboard ports).
    My plan is to first determine if I can now break the 1 TB drive barrier I ran into before and install two Windows OSs on a 2 TB drive (technically, I am going to clone my 1 TB Windows partitions onto the 2 TB drive).  Next, I will attempt to partition a 3 TB drive with Windows 8 in partition 2 and HFS in partition 3.

  • Issues with Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drives

    I had posted earlier about how the new Mac Pro I had been working on was really struggling.  I isolated and discovered that the cause was some sort of incapability with the external drives I was connecting to the computer.  Whenever a Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive Model: SRD00F1 was connected it would cause major errors and communication, the computer would eventually crash and would not work again until we did a SMS reboot.  Regardless of how the drive was formatted or mounted, the computer and drive were not compatible. 
    The purpose of this post would be to let users, Apple and Seagate know that there is an issue when using these drives.  This happened using dozens of different portable drives over three different new Mac Pro towers.  Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

    What format is the Seagate drive?  What do you see on the iMac when you select the drive and bring up it's Info window?  For best compatability it should be formatted and setup as shown in this screenshot:
    Also make sure on both machines the Finder General preferences are set as follows:

  • Old Cinema Display 22" won't work with DVI-ADC adapter & Mac Pro

    So, I want to use my old 22" ADC Cinema Display with my new Mac Pro with the Radeon x1900 card.
    And I was told to buy the DVI to ADC adapter, which I did.
    But it doesn't work! The adapter powers up my monitor, and it shows up in the Display settings of system prefs, but the monitor remains DARK.
    Anyone hear of this happening? I spent an hour with Apple Care phone support. They have no idea what to do.
    Is the 22" (model #M8149) just not compatible with this adapter? I'd hate to have to buy a whole new monitor!

    Yes, I tried re-setting the PRAM as well. Didn't work.
    I've gone into the Monitor display settings and clicked "Detect Displays"...I've changed the Hz on the VGA monitor that I have plugged in simultaneously (a Gateway FPD1510). Not working.
    As I mentioned, the computer does detect the monitor...it shows up in the Display Arrangement window and I can change its resolution, etc.
    And the power light is on.
    It's just that the screen in black.
    Is this monitor just incompatible with this adapter?
    Sounds like someone else is having this issue too, right?

  • Double computer name on network and NAT issue with Back to My Mac

    These are the problems I am having:
    When my MacPro workstation (which on the network is named "The Beast") wakes from sleep - I get a message saying "there is already a computer on the network with the name "The Beast". Other computers on the network can now find you at "The Beast-2"" and it gives me a new name in the file sharing preferences - even though it is the only computer on the network with that name.
    Why is this happening???
    The other problem is with BackTo My Mac - When I try to enable it - I get an error message saying "Turn off NAT Addressing" - which I thought was turned off since the AEBS is in Bridge Mode. Why is this happening?
    Here is my network setup which consists of the Modem / Router from my ISP - an Airport Extreme Base Station and one Airport Express - which is connected to my MacPro via ethernet. The MacPro does not have an airport card installed and is running OSX 10.6.8 - all other computers / devices are running 10.7.x and iOS6).
    VDSL Modem / Router (from Internet provider) with wireless turned off - (so it is not broadcasting a competing wireless signal) - connected via ethernet to my Airport Extreme Base Station.
    Here are all the settings on the AEBS and the Airport Express: - I am using Airport Utility 5.6.1 on my Mac Pro running OSX 10.6.8 - so the setup prefs are different than the newer version of Airport Utility found on 10.7.x systems - but both work fine. Although I did notice that the option to allow ethernet clients to connect to the Airport Express does not exist (or I just didn't find it) in the newer version of Airport Utility.
    Airport Extreme Base Station is set up as follows:
    Wireless Mode: Create a Wireless Network
    Wireless Settings:
    Allow this network to be extended IS CHECKED
    Radio Mode: 802.11n (b and g compatible)
    Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Access Control:
    MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled
    Internet Settings:
    Internet Connection:
    Connect Using: Ethernet
    Connection Sharing: OFF (Bridge Mode).
    TCP/IP:

    MobileMe:
    Back to my Mac is turned off - but if I try to turn it on I get an error message saying "Turn off NAT Addressing - which I thought was turned off since the AEBS is in Bridge Mode. Why is this happening?
    IPv6:
    IPv6 Mode: Link-local only
    As stated - my MacPro with no wifi card -  is connected via ethernet to an Airport Express which connects wirelessly to the AEBS for network and internet access.
    Airport Express Settings:
    Airport Settings:
    Wireless Mode: Join a Wireless Network
    Allow Ethernet Clients IS CHECKED
    Wireless Security WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Internet Settings: Are grayed out (as in I can't change these settings - I assume because they are being controlled by the AEBS) and read as follows:
    Connect Using: Wireless Network
    Connection Sharing: OFF (Bridge Mode)
    TCP/IP:
    Configure IPv4: using DHCP
    All other settings are identical to the AEBS.
    All other WiFi devices in the house (MacBook Pro, iPhones, iPad's, iMac, Apple TV, Nintendo Wii etc…all are able to connect to the network and connect to the internet - no problem.
    Thanks for any insights into what might be causing the double name on the network and why it is asking me to turn off NAT addressing - when both my Airport devices are in Bridge Mode?

    I am also having this issue... any updates on this??

  • Issues with exporting video from MacBook Pro to flash drive

    I cannot sucessfully transfer [export] video taken on my gopro camera, from my MacBook Pro to any flash drive and play them on other computers.  For some reason the files are not playable, even with quicktime.  They will not play with ANY of my video softwares such as divx or any AVCHD software on a windows computer.  I need to make a presentation for a club trip in a few days! Can any one please suggest what is wrong?  They play on the Mac using Flip player but not quicktime!
    Oh, and I don't have issues with transfering or exporting Jpegs or other photo formats.  Only video.
    Message was edited by: gmob25

    hmmm.. the files from GoPro are already mp4 format.  The Flash is already FAT32, brand new 16gig...
    I am new to Macs but have no problems with PC's.  I suspect that because the files are exporting as shadowed files which won't play and are very small kb files, yet they are actually in excess of 140 mb each that it might have something to do with the iphoto software?  That's where the pics and video are, they imported to there by default, not to a folder in the home folder [which is where I would have expected them to be]
    By the way, the GoPro is already in mp4 format so it is easy when transferring to computers. No need to convert. I tried converting them to see what the outcome might be, and none worked!  I tried every format I could find using Video converter ultimate software, which is excellent.
    And the problems began when quicktime wouldnt play the file, the screen was black.

  • Need help with video on older Mac Pro

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro that more than meets all of the specs for FCP X, except the Mac App store won't let me buy and download because the video card in the system doesn't meet specs.  I've found an apple support page that lists the compatible video cards for FCP X.  Here's my issues:
    1. Most of the cards on the list are older and not easily obtainable anymore.
    2. Even with models that are newer, it's had to find one labeled for Mac - so can I just use any old model of, say, a Radeon HD 5670 or do I need one specificlaly made for Macs?
    3. Bottom line is what card can  I use in a 2008 Mac Pro that will meet the specs and that I can actually purchase?
    Thanx...Jon

    A Radeon HD 5670 is a Radeon HD 5670 - if it's on the compatible list, it will work in your Mac.
    This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance - you may have already addressed some of the items but it's worth checking.
    Make sure you're using the latest version of the application - FCP X 10.0.5 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.5.
    First, check that you have at least 20% free space on your system drive.
    For smooth playback without dropping frames, make sure 'Better Performance' is selected in the FCP X Preferences - Playback Tab.
    If you have not already done so, move your Projects and Events to a fast (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD. Make sure the drive's formatted OS Extended (journalling's not required for video). You should always keep at least 20% free space on the Hard Drives that your Media, Projects and Events are on.
    Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
    Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
    If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system and use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended.
    Keep projects to 20 mins or less. If you have a long project, work on 20 min sections then paste these into a final project for export.
    If you ever experience dropped frames, I strongly recommend you use ProRes 422 Proxy - it edits and plays back like silk because the files are small but lightly compressed (not much packing and unpacking to do) - but remember to select 'Original or Optimised Media' (FCP X Preferences > Playback) just before you export your movie, otherwise it will be exported at low resolution.
    If you have plenty of processor power, for the ultimate editing experience, create Optimised Media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
    Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
    Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot. There's a great application for this, called Event Manager X - for the tiny cost it's an invaluable application.
    http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/
    Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences (under Playback) - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
    The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

  • Premiere Pro running slow with Quadro 4000 on Mac-Pro

    Hi Forum, I could really use some help.
    I recently upgraded to CS6 abnd have been having major speed issues in Premiere Pro ever since. At the time I was running with an ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB and using CS5.5 with no issues.
    After installing CS6 my Premiere Pro projects just slowed to a crawl. After doing some hasty research online i "upgraded" to the Quadro 4000 for Mac. It made the applications usable but still frustratingly slow. Exporting projects either directly from Premiere Pro or through Media Encoder is 2-3 times slower than before. I'm ready to ditch CS6 and go back to CS5.5 if necessary as it is serioulsy impacting my productivity.
    Any advice on fixing this issue would be greaty appreciated. Hardware, work-flow, software recommendations? I'll take it all!
    I also use two Mac monitors (only one of which is hooked up as I am awaiting the arrival of a converter to hook the second to the DVI-I) and would like to use 3 but I cannot run the ATI card at the same time as the Quado as there are only two power supply sources in the mac-pro housing.
    My projects typically look like this:
    Project Settings:
    Quicktime DV NTSC
    Codec: DV25 NTSC
    720x480
    Raw sequence:
    4 video tracks where I'll align my different camera angles to their correct time markers.
    MTS Format 1080p
    Multi-cam Equence:
    Camera edits from the raw sequence:
    Effects Sequence:
    Layers for on screen graphis, music etc.
    1 Voice track
    2-3 music tracks (mp3)
    1-2 photoshop layers
    effects track (black video fade in and out perhaps, sometimes I'll have a timer sequence dropped in here for on screen countdown).

  • Permissions problems with multiple discs in Mac Pro

    Hi.
    I have three discs in my Mac Pro. One is the boot drive, which is an SSD, another is a 2TB Seagate and the other is a smaller spare for setting stuff aside. The SSD and 2TB drives are NOT a fusion drive. They work okay but there are problems with permissions and I am trying to figure out what the permissions on each need to be for them to work in close harmony. The user account is on the boot drive but music and photo libraries, for example, are referenced on the big drive.
    Permissions on the boot drive show: system - r&w, wheel - ro, everyone - ro...
    On the big drive they are: Drieu(Me) - r&w, staff - r&w and everyone - ro. Ignore ownerships is not ticked and I am undecided about this.
    None of these seems to be correct. I know how much chaos can ensue if changes are made rashly, so I am loth to experiment but things are wrong enough to need to do something. Does anyone have any suggestions, given I am not sharing the machine with anyone, other than the default public folder.
    The spare drive has Drieu (Me) - r&w, system - ro, admin - r&w and everyone - ro!

    The Samsung 840 pro SSD boot disc
    10.9.5 and later turn ON kext signing, which turns OFF TRIM Enabler. A non-Apple SSD without TRIM cannot eliminate deleted files, so it will eventually become choked with an accumulation of deleted data. Doing the Install under these conditions could add 20GB or more of deleted data, and it could become super-slow.
    The 2TB disk [that was the Boot Disk]
    that permissions over the whole disc vary. Some files require that I enter the password to move them.
    Permissions for different folders vary widely. For example, System Directories are write-locked to you, and moving files from them would require that you authenticate as Admin.
    Files transferred from the desktop to this disc require to have the command key applied to move, rather than copy.
    The default in a Drive-to-Drive transfer IS Copy. To change that to Move, you must hold the Command or Option key. This is a Documented Feature, and is working as designed. Default for Folder-to-Folder On the same Drive is Move.
    I also find that when modifying blocks of files they can suddenly disappear and I have to come out and run round the block before I can go back in to finish the job. It works okay but it is unnerving, despite having a backup.
    One or both of those drives may be having problems. What you describe does not sound normal.

  • Many random abrupt restarts with ML and my Mac Pro

    Any help would be appreciated with this...
    Ive recently clean installed Mountain Lion with only a handful of 3rd party apps on my 2009(?) Mac Pro and seem to be getting  about 3-6 random Kernal Panics and/or abrupt restarts a day.  There seems to be no rhyme or reason for them as they all happen when doing differant tasks.  Last time it happened I was only browsing in Safari with itunes playing in the background.  iTunes started to skip like a scratched record 4 or 5 times then suddenly the computer shut down and restarted itself.  Below is the report that I sent to Apple.  Any idea whats causing the problem or suggestions on a fix?  If more info is required Id be happy to post.  Thanks!
