ITunes on CalDigit VR vs G-Raid 3  or what...

hi want to make sure my 250G itunes is safe so thinking of upgrading external hard drive where it is kept to 1T CalDigit VR or G-Raid 3 as I like the idea of writing it twice eg one hard drive fails i've still got the second so talking about mirroring(?) any thoughts on either of these two? or are they overkill - should i buy two hard drives and combine them somehow (my computer knowledge is minimal...)or something else....thanks
(1.8 G5 10.4.11 768M

The G-Raid 3 only supports Raid 0 where as the Caldigit VR supports both Raid 0 and Raid 1.
Source: http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/8/1021985
I am thinking about purchasing two Caldigit VR units. One for Raid 1 (back up unit) and the other for Raid 0 (performance unit).
Hope that helps,
Ozmo

  • De-authorizing itunes? Several of my authorized pc's have died, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

    Several of my authorized pc laptops and desktops have completely died over the years, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

    Deauthorise all to reset to zero, then authorize again.
    Following quote from Apple Support:
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).

  • HT1918 I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    Yes, it's frustrating.
    I don't have my iPod with me but, as I recall, the change is done in Settings/Store.  That change will apply to NEW purchases.  However, be aware that all purchases are permanently associated with the Apple ID that was originally used.  Generally, it's only a problem when you need to update an app.  IF you do your updating from iTunes and your logged in to the "wrong" ID, you'll need to log out and back in again.  It's easier from the iPod as you do not need to log out/in but you do need to know the password.
    Unfortunately, you can not merge IDs nor can you transfer purchases from one ID to another.  Go here to find out exactly what you have.  I have the same problem so I deliberately made both passwords identical to make things slightly easier for me.

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

    Iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

    while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
    If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    Not good
    Error (-1)
    Try on another computer
    Also see:
    iOS: If you can't back up or restore from a backup in iTunes
    Then see:
    -1 error
    -1 error too
    If still problem  that means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Just downloaded update 11.1.4 and my itunes no longer syncs with Ipods or Iphones. What do I do?

    Just downloaded itunes update 11.1.4  and now my itunes no longer syncs with ipods or iphones.  What do i do?  Should i uninstall new update?  and how?

    I am having the same issues with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 not mounting within iTunes every since the iTunes update. I know my USB is working but this is crazy. I had a thought and redowned the updater 10.6.8 thinking it was a bad install still the same issues. Sorry I couldn't help. I am also looking for the answers.

  • ITunes 7 is a joke stop trying to fix what isn't broken

    iTunes 7 is a joke stop trying to fix what isn't broken

    Between being still wet, and energized multiple times, it almost certainly has suffered permanent damage from shorting circuits.  I would just get a replacement at this point and be done with it.
    As mentioned, either an AppleCare+ accidental damage claim, if you can do so, or pay the out of warranty replacement for a like new service unit.

  • Xserve SSD OS drive Raid 5 array - What if SSD OS drive is corrupt or fails

    Xserve SSD OS Drive option with Raid 5 array - What if SSD OS drive fails or the OS becomes corrupted? Could you just re install the os and then upload all of your server settings and it would be able to talk to the raid array and be good to go?
    Additionally if the os is in the raid 5 and becomes corrupted and you are not able to get the os to boot would the raid 5 data not be able to be accessed? Or could you just reinstall the os on the array and be ok?
    This would be the same if the os is inside a software mirror set?
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi
    If you're asking can OSX Server be reinstalled without a reformat the answer would be no. This assumes you're using the OSX Server Installer DVD. Assuming no other hardware issues you should be able to access any/all data on any of the Drives using Target Disk Mode and another mac. This will at least allow a transfer of important data to another source. Having said that you should be keeping back-ups anyway.
    You can export Server Admin's configuration as a series of property lists. You can export Users, Groups and Computer Lists from WorkGroup Manager. You can archive the whole of the LDAP database - which will contain everything except home folder information - using Server Admin.
    I'm not sure if this is still the case but one of Apple's Best Practice tips was to setup and configure the Server exactly as you wanted it first. Once you're happy use any one of probably half a dozen methods to make a Bootable cloned backup. A free built-in method would be to boot from an appropriate Installer Disk and save the Server OS as a .dmg to a connected USB or Firewire disk. Or use something like CarbonCopyCloner to do regular scheduled clones to an externally attached drive.
    My 2p.

    Have you looked at the settings in iTunes.  Is music syncing manual or automatic.  More info please.  I would try removing all restrictions as an initial test.
