MacMini 2012  External Thunderbolt boxes for FCPX

This was discussd here and there last year but here we are again.  We left this subject with the following collective thoughts with some varations and name callings :
- MacMini is OK to run FCPX when maxed out with RAM and editing are done in Proxy.
- MacMini quad server has advantages over the standard MacMini but the GPU ( if there is such thing in MacMini ) is not really up to the task.
- The bottle neck is the GPU and the slow drives generally.
A year has passed and manu vendors are displaying thunderbolt boxes in ranges that could take an express card to all the way up to Two PCIe2 cards and FibreChannels and 10GB ethernetcards .... . Any of thesee boxes could help the MacMini to rise to the battle for FCPX performance ?
Is it possible to put a high-end PC video card in Sonnet thunderbolt box and get a real GPU out of the combo for example ?

The current situation is that if one sets up a Mini to
boot into Bootcamp with Win7 that pretty much any
PCI-E card will be plug and play as if it were an
internal PCI-E bus on a PC.
However, the way that OSX has been set up to utilize
Thunderbolt devices, the vendor of the card must create
a "Thunderbolt aware" driver for the card to be used in
OSX.  Not sure if any video card vendors at this point
have created modified OSX drivers.

  • Should I partition my external hard drive for FCPX media management?

    Is there any benefit to creating partitions on a single external hard drive for media management purposes?
    My thoughts were to divide a 1tb external firewire drive into 3x 300gb slices and leave 100gb as "free space". 
    Each partition would be dedicated to at least 1 active event + project (using FCPX terms) that I am editing.
    My thinking on this is that when dealing with the source media + event database, OSX/FCPX will only work on the partition that has been improving read/write speed.
    I could easily be wrong about this.

    In my view there is no point in partition the drive. You are wasting space and speed. Events are segregated in the FCP folder structure. There is no need to to it with partitions.

  • External Firewire box for PATA and/or SATA I - SATA II HDDs

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for a weird thing, and I don't know whether it exists or not.
    I've got a bunch of PATA HDDs now on shelf, and I'm wondering how to use them as external backup.
    I googled to find a Firewire box for 4 or 5 PATA and/or SATA I - SATA II HDDs, I didn't find anything, do you know about something similar ?
    Thanks,

    Briefly,
    This item Stardom SOHOBANK U6-4S-S2 Backplane cost :
    220 euros +
    20 euros transport +
    10 euros eSATA cable +
    100 euros PCIe eSATA card =
    Roughly 350 euros and I have to supply HDDs.
    I investigate about my existing HDDs stock :
    1 x 250 Go +
    2 x 120 Go +
    1 x 80 Go =
    570 Go and the enclosure is full.
    I've had a look at French Apple Store they have a MiniMax 640 Go Iomega + hub FireWire / USB integrated for 399 euros (not available on US Apple Store).
    They have also Iomega 320 Go USB 2.2 for 149 euros.
    But I'm concerned about the next future, that means tomorrow, when Leopard starts to hunt beginning of 2007, a nice feature called "Time Machine" will be available.
    This real time backup (if I understood well this feature) will oblige the backup disk to be "on" permanently, that is to say more permanent noise if backup storage is external.
    I've had a look at my existing Mac Pro configuration, I've got:
    Bay 1 : free
    Bay 2 : 1 x 300 Go SATA II
    Bay 3 : 1 x 250 Go SATA II
    Bay 4 : 1 x 250 Go SATA II
    Port 6 : 1 x 150 Go SATA I (Motherboard)
    I'm considering buying a 500 Go Maxtor pro line for Bay 1 for backup purpose only, what do you think ?

  • SATA Controller for external JBOD box for SPARC machines

    Hi,
    I've an external disk box with 4 disks with each has 1,5 TB. The disks are configured in one big RAIDZ pool. This box is now connected via USB 2.0 to my Blade 2000 (there's an PCI card with USB 2.0 in the Blade 2000) . This works but the performance is not that good.
    Therefore I would like to connect the box via SATA (the box has SATA and USB) to the Blade 2000. But it seems there are still not that much SATA adapters for SPARC machines - at least I did not find one.
    Another solution would be an external box for SATA disks that can be connected with firewire or FC - but these boxes seems also to be very rare.
    regards

  • Does it make sense to configure an iMac with a 256MB internal flash drive and rely on an external Thunderbolt HD for storage?

    I am considering buying a 27" iMac with the i7 processor, 16GB RAM (I can add another 16GB without throwing out any RAM that came with the machine), and the faster graphics card with 4GB video memory. I am wondering whether I should get the 3TB Fusion Drive (of which only 128GB is flash drive), or whether I should get a 256GB internal flash drive and rely on a Thunderbolt external HD for storage.
    For reference, my current Applications folder is less than 100GB, my Library folder is less than 15GB, and my Users folder is almost 400GB. However, almost 300GB of my Users folder are two subfolders: Movies and Pictures. It seems that I don't need to store movies and pictures in the Users folder, and I don't, for the most part. Anything else need to be in the iMac's "home HD"?
    I know Apple offers 500GB and 1T flash drives as well, but they are too expensive.
    Having the HD outside the iMac would have the benefit of not having to send in the entire computer in case the HD went down.
    Would I have a performance penalty having the HD external, even with Thunderbolt?

    While I generally agree with what Mr. Kaufmann has already said, if you are doing video editing on your Mac, a 256GB system drive is pretty thin and could be a source of future frustration, even trouble.  Your system needs disk space (aka virtual memory) to operate in addition to whatever you have stored on the system HD.   Various applications also require temporary storage on the system HD ... especially resource-intensive apps like video, photo, audio (media) apps.  You already appear have ~115GB between the system, applications & user library.  That's nearly half of a 256GB drive ... not much left for working storage.
    While editing video, especially anything highdef, you can easily need 50-100GB or more for operation.  And while Final Cut Pro X allows you to specify a different hard drive for its render & cache files, etc., if you don't specify an alternate location it defaults to your system HD for that storage.  Even so, FCPX and similar apps still need working space on your system HD.  I suggest that 500GB is the bare minimum for a system HD on a Mac used for video editing, 1TB would be better.
    'Course, if by movies you only meant viewing movies then this is a totally moot point.

  • Charged £144 for having my external junction box c...

    In September last year, we.noticed that the cover to the external junction box for the phone line was missing.
    We called BT and was told it was a maintenance issue and an engineer would be sent out to replace it.
    Engineer came, and wasn't happy to attempt to replace it using ladders, because of the position of our porch, so he called an engineer with a cherry picker. 
    Box was duly replaced and we were told that no charge would be made, as it was a maintenance issue.
    We have now been charged a call out fee of £144 by our home phone provider, the Post Office, because they have been charged by BT. While we have been informed that all external maintenance issues are the responsibility of BT, we are still being told that the cost in this instance is down to the end user.
    Can anyone clarify, please?

    Its Openreach which set the criteria, BT Retail, and other Service Providers simply pass that information on to their customers.
    Your Service Provider should have a similar web page on their help pages.
    The one I pointed to you, is specific to BT Retail only, but as you have discovered, your Service Provider  does the same.

  • I want to use the Thunderbolt connection for an external hard drive

    I want to use the Thunderbolt connection for an external hard drive - so what port would I use on the MacBook Pro 13" for the display monitor.  Thank you!

    This is not the forum for MacBook Pro owners.
    You just need to reformat the drive in Disk Utility and erase the drive and have  Mac HFS.
    If you did need to use NTFS then you would not want -3G but Paragon NTFS for OS X x. 10.0
    Or buy something that isn't pre-formatted to Windows NT file system.
    First though make sure you have backups of your system. TimeMachine being used now?
    http://macperformanceguide.com/Mac-TimeMachine-drive.html
    http://www.apple.com/support/timemachine/
    Maybe cleanout some files you don't need.
    Install a larger notebook hard drive even.
    http://www.macsales.com/firewire has a lot of choice in Mac compatible drives and enclosures so you don't need to worry about Fantom not working at some point.

  • Does latest version of bootcamp installed on late 2013 rMBP put thunderbolt drivers for lacie external thunderbolt/USB 3.0 drive?

    does latest version of bootcamp installed on late 2013 rMBP put thunderbolt drivers for lacie external thunderbolt/USB 3.0 drive?
    I am wiping my current windows bootcamp partition and reinstalling windows using disk utility /bootcamp wizard to clean up and reinstall.
    just curious if the Thunderbolt drivers get installed from bootcamp/windows sofytware update as I can't remember iif i had to do it manually before. I do see it shows up on windows side in device manager and if it is pluggged in during boot screen (to windows 7 pro 64 bit) shows ASMedia drivers being loaded for it.
    Thanks

    thank you so much I was pretty sure it did but wanted to be 100% sure as purpose of clean install was to clean up some mishaps I did with office 2007 (custom install), etc.
    Many Thanks

  • Can I create a OSX boot clone on an external thunderbolt drive and retain the original internal install as a bootable option for the rare times the MBP is mobile?

    Continuing my reaserch into the best upgrade options.
    I'm looking at thunderbolt storage.   But just just discovered that thunderbolt is apparently bootable...
    As the 2.5" sata HD in the MBP isnt the speediest thing in the world, I was wondering if people thought it was a good idea to clone my OSX install to a thunderbolt drive (currently contemplating a 4tb mirrored (2tb resultant vol) with a 250gb osx partition 250gb bootcamp partition and dividing the remaing space for time machine and win backup)
    the MBP mainly lives on the desk in the office and rarely is dis connected from its cluster of attachments.   But for when i do take it walk-about  can i leave the origional OSX install on the internal HD for mobile use?
    sorry for all the questions ( I feel like a noob again)
    also is there anyway to have two or more bootcamp drives? i'm not talking partitions within bootcamp but another complete bootcamp in its entirity....
    ta
    Stephen

    so once I've migrated bootcamp to the external thunderbolt drive I can use the space it occupyed on the internal HD for a partition for my home directory and all those other sharable assets...  point the internal and external copies of OSX at this and i't will remain current regardless of weather i'm connected to the external drives?
    That's the general idea but something's you need to be concerned about.
    1. I am not familiar with bootcamp so I do not know whether it can be run from an external drive.
    2. Before doing anything about moving your home directory make sure you backed up your original stuff on yet another disk.  Since you never attempted this before you could easily make a mistake and be hung out to dry if you cannot start over by reverting to the backup.  This is an important step not to be ignored.
    3. Contrary to what you read in the various web sites about moving your home directory, and there is plenty of them (google "move os x home directory"), I don't agree with the way they say to do the move, i.e, drag the home directory in the finder to the new location. 
    When I move the home directory I am always concerned about ownership and permissions info on the files which can be changed by simply moving the home dir in the finder.  So the safest way to protect against the is to use the terminal (in utilities) to create what's called a tar.gz (gz stand for gzip just another form of compression like zip is a form of compression) of your home dir and move tht tar.gz file to the new home dir location and then expand it.
    In terminal I would do the following (assume YOURACCOUNT is your current home directory):
    cd /Users
    tar czf  YOURACCOUNT.tar.gz YOURACCOUNT
    This will create the file YOURACCOUNT.tar.gz which you can now safely move to your new location.  Not only that you now have a backup copy of your current home dir in that compressed YOURACCOUNT.tar.gz file.
    Say you move YOURACCOUNT.tar.gz to a new drive called, NEWDRIVE.  Then in terminal,
    cd /Volumes/NEWDRIVE
    tar xzf YOURACCOUNT.tar.gz
    Now your YOURACCOUNT home directory is safely moved and all it's permissions and ownerships are persevered.  You still of course need to fix up the Accounts information to point to this new place as mentioned in those many articles on the topic.

  • Thunderbolt Dock for External Hard Drive

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to find a Thunderbolt Dock for External Hard Drive.
    One of these http://www.topbuy.com.au/tbcart/pc/External-SATA-Hard-Drive-Docking-Station-USB- Interface-937p3180.htm
    But with Thunderbolt connector instead of USB, Firewire, eSATA etc.
    Do these exist?
    The only thing I could find close is the Seagate Go Flexi Adapter, but that only works for those drives.
    Thanks,
    Grant

    I would suggest this:
    http://www.belkin.com/thunderbolt/
    It will do more than you need and require, and you still would need to get an eSATA docking station, but that's what you really want anyways. 
    Thunderbolt is a bleeding edge tech still (as evidenced but the fact that nobody yet has a good dock for it) but if you go the modular approach you can still pickup your docking station with eSATA and FW800 and USB etc. and take it to a friend's and have more chance of being able to plug it in.  and since you're getting a dock and not a drive you want it PC/Mac friendly because you can swap drives to ones formatted for the system.  Plus this accessory will be really great if you ever get a Mac Book Air or Retina Display MB Pro that just don't have ethernet or eSATA or even firewire anymore.
    And i know that tbolt is faster than eSATA natively, but if you're plugging in a SATA HD then, well i don't think i need to finish that sentance.

  • External HD for FCPX - better to turn off or on ?

    Hi there,
    I use my iMac mostly for fCPX, maybe 5 hours/ day and connects it with this external HD called Drobo 5D.
    I on and off my iMac everytime . The problem is this Drobo5D takes a long time to boot up. So you think I should just leave the Drobo5D ON all the time ? Or off and on as per the iMac ?
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    A couple of things. The ScreenSaver settings are stored in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost. You'll have to determine which one of those is the one containing the idleTime parameter. On my machine, using the Terminal app command:
    defaults read /Users/baltwo/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.003065aba550 yields:
    idleTime = 900;
    lastPictureDirectoryChosen = "/Users/baltwo/Library/Screen Savers";
    moduleName = Cosmos;
    modulePath = "/System/Library/Screen Savers/Cosmos.slideSaver";
    Change it with this command:
    defaults write /Users/baltwo/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.003065aba550 idleTime 1800, for example, changing it from 15 minutes to 30 minutes.
    Setting it up for your situation is left as an exercise since I don't know how long your backups take or when you schedule them. The Applescript command would be something like:
    do shell script "defaults write /Users/baltwo/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.screensaver.003065aba550 idleTime 1800"

  • Speeding up my iMac late 2012 iMac with external Thunderbolt SSD

    I am a motion graphics editor and would like to get better speed from my late 2012 iMac with a 3 TB Fusion Drive.
    I have three questions:
    1. Does the Fusion drive in this iMac always run the iOS and apps on the ssd part of the fusion drive?
    2. If not, is there a way to make that happen?
    3. If I add an External Thunderbolt 512GB SSD Drive, will I get a significant boost in performance by keeping the files (video and images) on the SSD, or would After Effects need to reside on the new SSD as well?
    I would really appreciate help from anyone that has the expertise to answer this question.

  • Installing Windows 7 on an External Thunderbolt SSD

    I have an iMac 21,5" late 2012.
    I want to install Windows 7 Professional Bootcamp on an External Thunderbolt SSD (Basic NTFS partition).
    I tried the normal Bootcamp installation Guide but it wouldnt let me install on the external SSD drive.
    I also tried using this guide http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7-to-usb-external-hard-drive-m ust-read/
    But didnt work, probably because it's not for Mac users + not Thunderbolt.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thank you for reply!
    Best Regards
    Jonas

    yeah thats what I tried with this guide, as I already have windows installed on the iMac but on the internal fusion drive (that doesnt work properly in Windows).
    Thats why I want external SSDs booting windows when I edit videos (all my softwares are windows based).
    Im gonna try a couple of more things, as I always say "there's gotta be a way!* hehe.
    Ill be sure to post here IF I find a solution.
