Looking for Portable Raid 1 eSATA drive system

Need help finding and selecting a portable data solution. I need a 4 - 8 (more if possible) TB Raid 1 drive setup for use in the field on a long term project. I am currently using a G-Safe with Raid 1 using 2x2 TB drives. I was going to purchase multiples of additinal drives for this setup and just change them out as the drives became full. However I would now like to have the convenience of more footage online at one time. Now when I say "Portable" that is flexible, less than 30 lbs. would be ideal.... Any and all thoughts are appreciated...
This would be used with a laptop eSata connection without "port multiplier".

Bill,
Have a look at these units:
Most are capable of Raid1, and have room for 7 or 8 disks. They are somewhat luggable and you have the advantage that you can use Ethernet as well for a connection, leaving your eSATA port free for an occasional single external disk.
PS. Got your mail with regards to Marks question. Thanks

I AM LOOKING FOR ADVANTEST R3271 LABVIEW6.1 DRIVER(GPIB),PLEASE HELP ME. THANKS.

Hi,
I am not sure what the R3271 is, but we have a driver for the R3272 (Spectrum Analyzer with GSM option). Normally API's do not change significantly and so it is very likely that you will be able to use this driver for your application. You can get it by going to www.ni.com/idnet. The easiest way to get the the page is just to seach by vendor.
Hope this helps out.

Looking for a script which gives Drive,Diskspacefree,Databasename,Filename,Filetype,Filesize,Spaceused,spacefree,free(%),MaxsizeMB,autogrowthsize,Filegroup

Hi All,
I need a T-script for sql 2005 and 2008 which should give output as:
Looking for a script which gives Drive,Diskspacefree,Databasename,Filename,Filetype,Filesize,Spaceused,spacefree,free(%),MaxsizeMB,autogrowthsize,Filegroup

In the list below, everything that is in bold face is available in sys.master_files:
Drive
Diskspacefree,
Databasename
Filename
Filetype
Filesize
Spaceused,
spacefree,
free(%),
MaxsizeMB
autogrowthsize
Filegroup
Everything in bold face is in sys.master_files. Diskspacefree is also fairly simple; you can get it with xp_fixeddrives.
Filegroup requires you sys.filegroups in every database, although you can hardcode "PRIMARY" for the file_id = 1.
To get space used per file, it appears that you need to need to visit every database and run fileproperty(filename, 'SpaceUsed') to get the data.
You need to revisit the topics for the views and function I have listed here. xp_fixeddrives is undocumented, but the output is very simple to grasp.

Looking for some RAID storage ideas...can anyone help?

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations out there. I'm going to be getting a new PowerMac tower with a cinema display and will also be looking to get some RAID-type storage for it so that I can do lots of video editing and photo storage.
Ideally, I'd like to get a rack-type storage with swappable drives much like the XServe RAID but I don't need it to have server capabilities like the XServe does, i.e. I'm not going online with anything. This is purely going to be working as an external storage tower that two adjeacent computers will be directly firewired to.
Obviously, the XServe would fit this, but like I said, I don't need the computer/server capability and also would not want to spend $6000 just for a single TB of storage that the XServe has. I'm thinking more along the lines of a swappable drive rack system like the old Avid systems used to have 10 years ago. Does anyone know if Apple makes such a thing? Or if any third party companies do?
Thanks.

If you are using typical DV cameras you don't need striped RAID to capture the video or edit it either. And striped means you lose one drive you lose two drives worth of data.
The LaCie Bigger and Biggest disks may be suitable solutions, they are hardware RAIDed internally and come in 1 and 1.5TB models, using FW 800 they are plenty fast for video.

Looking for Areca RAID HW Recommendations

I need to get an 8 disk tower enclosure and a reasonably priced 6G controller + six disks. My budget is 2-3K.
I've done lot's of research and found several sources, but don't know which sellers are the most reliable and not sure which disks to get (manufacturer and size 2,3,4 TB)? I want the most reliable combination which is why I'm primarily thinking Areca for the enclosure and controller, but am open to other suggestions. Super high performance is not a priority.
I have a P6X58D Premium ASUS MB, Intel Core I7-920, 14 GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 480, Internal RAID 10 for my system disk and an internal three disk RAID 0.
I currently have a RR231x controller and TowerRAID TR8X-B enclosure with 4 WD Black 2GB disks that are starting to flake out and have had to rebuild the RAID 5 twice in two days (so I'll be ordering on Monday). I was cash strapped at the time and doing this more as a hobby. We are now starting a video production business and I can't affort to have disk issues.
I've checked arecaraid, sansdigital, atacom and B&H, but they are closed next week.
Thanks... Rob

Rob,
Personally, I much prefer putting all drives in the PC. I really like Supermicro's hot-swap device which mounts 5 drives in the space of three 5.25" drive bays. I do however change out supermicro's fan with a MUCH quieter version for video editing purposes.
For an external 8-drive enclose, you already own the exact model that I would purchase if I needed one. An even quieter solution, although far from elegant, is to build your own drive enclosure using a PC case (Antec 900 o9r 1200 work pretty well) with its own power supply (paper clip trick allows for turning on without having a motherboard to connect to).
Dump the RocketRaid immediately!!! Even as a non-professional, I moved far away from the consumer RAID controller cards a long time ago and will never go back. Areca is my favorite for now; the reliability and tools that come with the expensive RAID controllers are truly in a different league. They sound expensive, but I do suggest getting the battery backup option for your controller. Whether or not you think you need the battery backup, it may help for faster caching options to be enabled on your controller.
For drives, you can certainly buy the uber expensive enterprise SATA or SAS drives for your RAID. Many of us however have had excellent success using the much lower priced consumer drives with Areca controllers even though they are not "certified" by Areca for that service.
If you are located in the USA, Newegg is pretty hard to beat as a supplier. I also order from Amazon, eBay, Provantage, and Directron from time to time and have had good luck with all of them over the years.

Jim

Satellite U500 (PSU9ME) - I'm looking for the Windows 7 display driver

I'm looking for the video card driver U500 PSU9ME. My operating system Windows 7 32Bit
Please help me ..

OFC my INF won't work because it is for nVidia g210m. You need to add Hardware ID of your display adapter, that can be found in Device manager, to the INF and try again, replace my PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0A74&SUBSYS_FF401179 with yours, other modifications + new drivers for 310m could be required.
I still don't understand why you installed x86 version of windows when laptop came with x64 with all drivers on it, and all of them can be downloaded from toshiba site.
Install Windows 7 x64 and you won't have these problems. Other option is Windows XP x86 if you NEED 32 bit OS, and I can't see why...

Looking for a replacement m2010us hard drive adapter

Hello all,
I have a mostly intact Compaq m2010us, sans HDD caddy/adapter. I searched a little online, and found a few different adapters being described as the proper one. Is there still a way to purchase one through HP or equivelent source? Just trying to fix and polish this up and donate it to a student in need.
Thank you,
-J

Seagate is recommended due to the 5 year warranty, though other manufacturer's are good and work well and usually offers 3 year warranties. As was said above, any SATA drive will work, whether it's 150 or 300, though the laptop only will run at 150 speed.
I recommend getting a 7200rpm drive with as much cache as possible. A lot of newer drives are offering 16MB caches which show a strong lead in performance over other 7200rpm drives.
For instance:
* The Seagate ST9200420AS (200GB, 7200 rpm, 16MB, SATA 300, 5 yr warranty)
* The Hitachi Travelstar 7k200 (200GM, 7200 rpm, 16MB, SATA 150, 3 yr warranty)
The difference between these two is the SATA version, with the Seagate running a faster version of SATA which will not be taken advantage of by the MacBook, however future models or purchases by you may in fact use SATA 300 so it may be a good purchase if you plan to swap it during future upgrades. Further the 5 year warranty over 3 years is nice.
The recommendations above are if you're looking for a lot of storage with maximum performance. If you simply want a large drive with average or stock performance consider the HITACHI Travelstar 5K250 (250GB).

How to tell Front Row to look for movies on a USB drive?

I'm working on getting all my dvd's on two 500gb usb drives - using Handbrake to encode everything. This is much faster with a new 2.4ghz 24" iMac by the way (6-8hrs on my 1.8ghz athlon vs 1-2 with the iMac...woohoo).
What I'm trying to do is get the movies (on the usb drives) to show up in Front Row. One way I know of is by making an alias for each movie and moving the alias to my "Movies" folder on the main HD. This is a little tedious. When I simply drag and drop it in the "Movies" folder it just copies it and that is not what I want. Is there a way to just tell Front Row where to look for the movies? If I use iTunes the same thing happens, it just transfers all movies to the main HD...nevermind. I unchecked the box that said to copy everything.
The plan was on using iTunes for movies I encode specifically for iPods exclusively, searching through 600+ movies to get a few for the iPod doesn't seem user friendly.
So the question remains. Is there another way to get Front Row to just see the movies on another drive without iTunes or using an alias for each one or are those 2 my only choices?

I'm glad you got it figured out. Front Row actually looks for movie files in two places. First, as you've discovered, it looks inside your user's "Movies" folder. An alias there pointing to a different location will lead Front Row to the other location. Also, Front Row looks inside iTunes for movies. This way, it can find TV shows, music videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Music Store. Another option, besides making an alias in your "Movies" folder, would be to add the movies to iTunes.

Looking for portable wireless printer for new iPad mini

I am looking to purchase a portable printer for a new ipad mini. I am on the road alot, and need a printer that I can plug into the car, hotel, airport, etc.. I looked at the Canon ip100, which is portable, but does not support AirPrint, but it has bluetooth. The printer looks nice, portable, even battery operated, but does not work with ipad. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

You maybe able to see if there is a Canon app that will allow you to print to the printer even though its not compatible.
If not here is a list of compatible air print printers http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356

Looking for a samsung scx 4200 driver

I'm looking for a printer/scanner driver for the samsung scx 4200...
Looked at the samsung website and downloaded the driver from their site but still did not work..
Tried to contact samsung on many occasions but they have not been the best of help..
The drivers say they install correctly, but then when i go to print get the error that there was an installation error..
Thanks in advance
.

HI,
This may be a problem. That model is not listed here. Mac OS X v10.6: Printer and scanner software
Nor is there a GIMP available. http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/pSupportedPrinters.php
Try here. Mac OS X v10.6: Mac 101 - Printing - Troubleshooting
I noticed on the Samsung site they offer a Universal Driver but only for Windows. Not Mac friendly for sure.

Looking for suggestions to sync external drives over internet

I have a iMac connected to an external hard drive at my house. I would like to sync this external drive to a another external drive connected to a Mac Mini at my parents house. I would like this sync to happen automatically at night and also be free.
Anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I checked out the rsync stuff but I think its a little over my head. If I had the time or patience I could create a customized solution like that but it seems more trouble than its worth. I am looking more for an application that does the work for you like Crash Plan.
I tested out CrashPlan last night. I installed it on both machines and it was able to backup the files I need very quickly. It supports the ability to set times for the backup which is a big bonus.
The only problem I run into is that it does not make a 1:1 copy of the data. It backs it up to the destination drive in some weird file format that you can not just access the data. If I experienced a failure I would have to use their restore utility to recover the files.
What I would like is that if the drive at my house fails I can run over to my parents, grab that drive, plug it in and be working exactly as before. Crash Plan is so close to being what I want but I just do not want to have to take the time, and trust that their utility will restore the data when I need.

Looking for best 1tb external hard drive for 2008 I-mac?

Hi, I'm currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, but might upgrade to Mavericks at some point. I have 3GB of RAM, but will upgrade to 6GB soon. I would like to get a reliable 1tb external hard drive. It's only for the desktop, so it doesn't have to be portable, although it might be nice to have a smaller one. I don't have much money to spend (not more than 90$), so if I could get a good one that doesn't cost too much (perhaps on sale?) that would be perfect. I mainly need it to store a lot of photos and videos, nothing fancy. What would be a good drive, or reliable company? I thought about this one: WD My Passport for Mac 1TB Portable External Hard Drive Storage USB 3.0 (WDBLUZ0010BSL-NESN) which I found on sale at 59,99$. It appeared to have a lot of good reviews on other sites, but many bad ones on this one, so I'm not sure. It also says on here that it needs 10.7 or higher to work, although someone else said it would work with Snow Leopard as well.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Very easy. Plug in the drive, open Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder which in the Applications folder).
Select the drive in the sidebar. Select the partition tab, and select the number of partitions (one is fine).
Click options at the bottom of the screen. Select GUID.
Make sure the format is Mac OS Extended (journaled), name the disk and click apply.
It takes longer to type how to do it than to actually do it.
