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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    Whats the Largest Drive and/or Partition on G4 MDD/Fw800 dual 1.25?
    Hi, Protools user here, using my G4MDD/Fw800 and Macbookpro, i like of course to have interchangability, if i can.
    1- Whats the maximum size internal partition my G4 can read? one drive of 750gig?
    2- Whats the maximum size Fw800 Drive my G4 can read? one drive of 750gig?
    2a is it the same for fw400?
    3- Are there 2 separate internal buses on my G4 MDD?
    I just bought a 500 gig hitachi, IDE, popped it in an OWC fw800 case and was having errors dragging huge folders from my g4's internal 233gb drive to the Fw800 on the external bus
    Hope everybody understands my questions. Appreciate some help.

    For 10.3, the HFS+ size limit is 16TB.

    The Mirrored Drive Doors Macs are not limited to built-in IDE/ATA 128 GB Drive size limit.

    There are two IDE/ATA Busses for hard drives in your Mirrored drive Doors G4. The front pair of drives are ATA/66, the rear two are ATA/100. The CD/DVD nest is supported by a separate ATA/33 Bus.
    Drive size limits do not explain why you are getting errors. More information is needed.

  • 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,
    Message was edited by: Mr Pixel

    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?

  • Error Code 10 with GPIB PCI Card

    PC used: Dell optiplex GX110, lastest Bios release, Windows 2000 SP4, GPIB Drivers version 2.2, Local Admin session.
    After having install the driver (without the GPIB)and plug the card, this one is automaticaly recognised by the Os.
    But, after the reboot (asked by the OS to validate the installation), the GPIB card appears, in the device manager, with an error code 10 (not started)....
    I tried with two (new) differents GPIB PCI Card, two OS (First time with NT4.0 SP6 Drivers 1.7 and now, Win2000 SP4 Drivers 2.2) and with two PCs Dell Optiplex GX110 !
    I even tried with a "Ghost" from an other PC (also an Optiplex GX110, with the same model of GPIB Card)
    -> I obtain the same error each time !
    Help me please..........

    Hello,
    Could you give me the exact reference of the board (PCI-GPIB, PCI-GPIB+, AT-GPIB, AT/GPIB-TNT...)?
    Is the error code displayed on the Windows device manager (in the properties dialog box of the device)?
    What is the exact description of the error code?
    A PCI-GPIB installation do not need to reboot the OS if the NI-488.2 driver is correctly installed. The board should be recognized in MAX and you must be able to scan for instruments and start I/O communication with the device from test panels in MAX.
    Update me as soon as you receive another feedback.
    Regards.

  • Upgrading the G3 /DT with USB PCI Card for Printer Connection

    I would like to connect a Brother MFC-9160 laser printer to one of my Beige G3 /DT with Macintosh OS 9.2.2 installed.
    There are two ways to do that: USB or Parallel. I don't know if Parallel adapters for Macintosh are available. This is the reason why I am favouring the solution of PCI USB upgrade.
    The problem is that the few USB adapters I saw on sale on various French Mac warehouses were all USB 2.0 compliant, and required a Power Macintosh G3 /BW.
    I suppose that a USB 2.0 compliant card is also de facto USB 1.1 compliant, but I am not sure. Besides the hardware issue, there is of course the problem of support on a Beige G3 for USB 1.1.
    Could you please elaborate on the hardware which would run on a Beige G3? I am open to any friendly advice
    Frederic W. Erk

    By the way I wonder if it would be possible to
    connect to the laser printer through electricity
    network. No cables, here because the building in 400
    years old and too large. Wireless, he he... Not even
    worth speaking about it....
    I'm not sure about what kind of electrical wiring you have available over there, or if these kind of products are compatible, but there are some options in the US for using the electrical outlets in a house to create a LAN network. With this kind of network you could use keep the printer on the B&W and turn on USB printer sharing. Printing from OS 9 on the G3 might not work with all printers. That kind of networking equipment is more costly than just adding a USB PCI card to the G3 to use the printer directly, but you might also be able to share a single high-speed internet connection that way. It all depends on what your needs are.
    Is this what you were asking about?

  • P4M Freezes with WiFI PCI Card

    My PC freezes requiring a reboot.
    This has occured since I recently replaced an IDE HDD with a SATA HDD.  The PC freezes pretty quicky;  sometimes when everything is up and running for a few minutes, othertimes at the XP logon screen
    This is associated with my WiFi network PCI card (D-Link DWL-G520). Using an ethernet cable to my router everything works absolutely fine.
    Things I have tried:
    MOBO BIOS is the latest version
    WiFi card drivers are the latest
    Used both PCI slots
    Used both SATA sockets.
    All suggestions gratefully received!!

    Hello,
    look for a PCI Latency Timer option in BIOS and increase the value.  Try different settings and test again each time.

  • P67A-C45 b3 don't boot with ITE8212 PCI card

    Hello
    i was installing my all new motherboard P67A-C45 rev B3 with a core i5 2500K, 4gb of DDR3. No problem for installing all my SATA hard drives as well as Plextor BR writer. Windows seven recognizes everything and everything rules. I have setup the boot priority with plextor and then the SSD drive that have windows 7...Except that as a nostalgic person, i used to keep old IDE hard drives for storing files. For that i use a ITE8212 PCI card in order to have IDE slots. But when pci card is connected (on either of the 3 PCI slots), boot is "freezing". I just have an underscore on the screen and nothing else.
    This pci card used to be ok on motherboard without UEFI... is there something that i do wrong ? a specific setup ? an incompatibility ?
    Thanks for any help you could give me.

    I'm not too concerned with the x8 limitation. Any idea about the video issue itself? It'd be nice to be able to choose which card to boot from without having to take one out or switch them around. I get the feeling that it's always going to use the first card it finds plugged in and just ignore the second card until the OS drivers take control. Mostly I just wanted to confirm that was the case and not just a problem with my own board.
    Guess I'll work in getting my 6950 working under OS X, because it's too big to go into E5 without covering some PCI slot I need and also the headers for my power and reset buttons.

  • SP A10 with mini PCI card

    Help!
    Have had a great deal of success with Toshiba however would like to use it in wireless mode. Have LAN mini PCI card switch yet can not find drivers on computer to enable it.
    Any suggestions
    Many thanks
    Steve

    Hi Steve
    I'd say that it is likely that You do not have a built in WireLess mini PCI card then. Normally all devices are configured 100% when the machine comes from factory.
    And even if the driver is missing You should have a device that was not configured in the device manager and You do not say anything about such a device so I guess there is none.
    It is quite common that models are prepared for wireless LAN (like your possibly is) with a WiFi-switch and built in antennas.
    best regards
    Tom
