Need a RAID that will work on both new and old Mac Pro

Desperately need to expand my RAID storage, and also not quite ready to buy the new Mac Pro.   Are there any high quality 6TB+ RAID enclosures that will work on both the new and older non-firebolt Mac Pros?  I already have a sh*t load of 2TB 3.5 drives, so I only need an enclosure.  
Even when i get the new macpro, I will use the old mac pro as a second station, so i need the RAID to work on both. 

Why not go for a eSATA Raid and a cheap eSATA card for old Mac Pro  and get either a Thunderbolt to eSATA or USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter for your new Mac Pro? Thunderbolt to eSATA is faster, of course.
I have a MacPower/Inxtron Hydra 4 x 2 TB eSata for example. I have a eSATA card in my Mac Pro and when I need to use it on my Retina Macbook Pro I use a USB 3.0 to eSATA adapter. Gives me about 240 MBytes/s with Raid 5.
On the eSATAcard it's just a little bit more, like 250/260 MBytes/s.

    You can either buy a CS6 perpetual license, or Creative Cloud subscription.  Both will run on the two computers you mention.  You are allowed two installation with either version, but they must be for the same user. There is a cheap as chips Photography deal that gives you Photoshop and Lightroom for just $10/month, and feature gap is ever widening between CS6 and CC

  • What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

    What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

    Any printer that visibly supports OS X will work fine. My personal recommendation is Brother, followed rather distantly by Canon.
    Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
    The third and subsequent choices are so far down from those two they're not worth mentioning. I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
    Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
    Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
    Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.
    Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs. Those features add very little to the price over a USB - only or wireless printer. Understand that not all wireless printers are AirPrint compatible - AirPrint must be specifically indicated. Choose among this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    After OS X compatibility, the next consideration should be the cost of consumables. Laser printers are cheaper than inkjets in that regard.
    Here is a list of AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices

  • Can I get 3g ipad service that would work in both UK and France?

    I have a 3G iPad 2.  I just returned from Canada, where I was able to buy a microSIM from a local Bell store, put it into the iPad, and then purchase a month's worth of 3G service.  It worked great, and was MUCH cheaper than using the AT&T international data roaming plan.  Now: I'm going to be in the UK and France in July, and would like to do the same sort of thing.  Ideally, I would do this once (in France, our first stop) and get a microSIM and service plan that would work in both France and the UK.  Is this possible, or would I have to do this twice -- once in France and once in the UK?  Orange offers service in both countries, but it's not clear to me that their service would work across country boundaries without becoming some sort of roaming thing.  Thanks!

    You can't.  There is no such cable.

    With difficulty. You need really to have a cheap wintel box running preferably XP. Take the drive out and install it in the PC and from there you should be able to get lots of free flashing utilities from all over the net.

  • I need a printer that will work wirelessly with Lion os

    Please help me find an all in one printer that will work wirelessly with the new Lion OS.
    I'm on my third printer...
    Thanks

    Exactly what did you do when trying to set up the printers? Did you follow the mfr's instructions?
    I also have an Epson (Artisan 810) and it works flawlessly - both wired and wirelessly. If I remember correctly, the instructions specifically said in order to set it up wirelessly, I had to connect it via USB first and then unplugged the cable at a specific point (following the instructions). And, the instructions included having to copy the printer's  MAC address (a series of numbers and letters) from the printer display panel and enter it at my router's (Netgear) online setup site.

  • Need a driver that will work for HP Color Jet Laser Printer with OS 10.7

    How can I download a drive, and fom where, that will allow me to print from a Mac Book Air with OS 10.7 from an HP 1600 LASER COLOR JET. Thank you

    Hey Ravenmark,
    This may or may not work but you can try using the Mac OSX drivers for the 1500 series and see if you get any good results.

  • Which Iphone 5S model will work in both USA and Israel on LTE?

    Which IPhone 5S work in both USA and Israel with LTE? Is it the European or American model? GSM or CDMA?

    The issue is what channels would be used varries by nation to nation.  Since I have very limited access to Jordan and Egypt it really doesn't matter to the average Israeli company what will work there.  There is currently Orange's LTE in Israel which I read/hear conflicting information as to which LTE bands are being used.  Further then there is a new LTE slighted from Cellcom/Golan/Pelephone that I'm curious to see what bands they will be using.  From this information it would be possible to know which is the one to use for LTE.
    Realistically it would seem that getting a Verizon/Sprint would be the best route, in that you would have a working set for America, plus foreign bands for Europe and hopefully Israel.  Orange already sells the iPhone in Israel, but it doesn't indicate which model it uses.
    Since the iPhone in Israel is so much more expensive, it's still cheaper to buy in Israel and get serviced in the USA if need be.  But realistically these phones never really have problems that can't be solved so dificultly that I would worry about having to go back to the US. As from my understanding the warranties have to be honored globally.  Just as if I have a problem with my computer I don't have to go back to the US to get it fixed.

  • Is there a newer version than 3.6.25 that will work with windows 7 and 16 bit?

    Hi I am using firefox 3.6.25 version it works fine but certain wesites are not supporting this version anymore they want me to upgrarde to a newer version but I can't. Everytime I use any other version of firefox I get an error from Sendoria saying that the website has been blocked or that there is an error in the way I typed the website address in. I need a stable webbrowser that will work with a 16 bit window 7 machine. The websites are as follows
    1. Tube8.com
    2. usajobs.gov
    3. The other website which is my homepage for email is Verizon.net they do not support the 3.6.25 version anymore and I want to be able to make the companies that I subscribe to happy.

    No, 3.6.3 is an older version. 3.6.11 was just released on Monday.

  • HT1695 HI, I am planning to use my Ipad in both Canada and Mexico.  Is there a cellualr network that will work for both?

    WAht is the best combo of cellular providers??

    What you're going to need is an application that will let you "rip" your pictures from the iPad back to your Mac. These are like reverse iTunes applications. Usually, these third party utilities are used to rip music from iPods back to your computer but some will also let you pull the photos out. You might do a search in the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch forums and see if anyone has recently recommended a utility like that. You should know that the pictures on your iPad are not the orginal full-resolution copies. But getting smaller versions back may be better than nothing. Sounds like it's time to invest in an external hard drive so you can enable Time Machine...

  • I want a Bluetooth headset that will work with my Ipad and Iphone

    Hi there,
    I carry arround with me a Ipad Air and Iphone 5 and would like a Bluetooth headset that will multi pair so that I can watch videos on my IPad but if a call comes though then transfer to my iPhone and then back to my iPad when the calls over.
    Does any one know of a head set that will do this?
    MAny tnanks in advance.

    pretty sure it's not
    to both be able to do calls and other audio one need a headset which support the bluetooth profiles called a2dp
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile#Advanced_Audio_Distribution_Profi le_.28A2DP.29
    never heard of a single bluetooth device which supported being connected to more then 1 device at the time
    suppose the headset you want would have to include 2 seperate bluetooth systems to support 2 connections

  • How can I find an earlier version of iTunes that will work for my new iPod

    I am writing this for my technophobe friend. He has an older iBook g3, version 10.2xx. It came installed with itunes 4. He just bought a nano iPod, which I believe requires a newer version of iTunes. he downloaded 7.6, and it will not woprk with his older 10.2 OS. Where can he find a version of iTunes that will be compatible with his older system, and still operate his iPod?
    Thank you,
    Tom

    I really almost no experience with this but from casual reading I suspect he may be in a bind. 10.2 is relatively long in the tooth in the OSX world and I think the new iPods really require you have the OS to run the iTunes they want. I see posts about people upgrading to Tiger so they can run their ipods and I think that's the story.

  • Migrated to Macbook Air. Apps now on both new and old macbooks. How?

    I have just used the migration software to tranfer to a late 2011 Macbook Air (Lion) from a late 2009 Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard). My intention is to sell my old Macbook Pro.
    After migrating, I now have apps (ex. iLife, iWorks, Office, etc) that appear and work on both machines. I only purchased one copy of the software, so how does this work? I want to leave some software on the Macbook Pro for the person buying it. Can I have duplicates, and will they work on both machines simultaneously? Can I just uninstall the software I no don't want to "share"?
    Thanks!

    Migration Assistant doesn't erase anything from the source computer. That is left for you to do. Yes, just delete the software from the old computer. Note: Some licenses permit software to be installed on multiple computers but limit its use to one at a time while others permit installation on only one computer. Still others might permit installation on several computers. Confusing....
