Need help urgently -- will this RAID setup work?!

At the office we have some old Powermac G4s. not sure of the operating system or anything. all of the graphics department uses brand new, dual processor, 2 GB RAM, powermac G5 beasts. i want to set up a powermac G4 with two 300 GB hard drives (mirrored), with a hardware raid controller. is that doable? i was going to get this card:
http://trevorcvitkovich.com/December16/IMG_7728.jpg
and just two 300 GB SATA drives. how hard is that? i don't want to use any software based RAID. could this work? i looked inside the G4, and the motherboard has these weird PCI slots that have 3 holes instead of 4 that the card in the picture above does.
how does that work?
let me know please, i'd like to get this done by the end of the week
Regards
~Lorenzo

Mystical, technically everything sounds good, however, without knowing the OS or exactly what you are saying about the PCI slots it is hard to say for sure. But everything sound good to go.

  • Need Help with Firewire 800 Raid setup

    Hello everyone. I am still a newbie with OS X as to most people here but here is my problem. I bought 2 external FW 800 HDD enclosures and install 2 500GB HDD's in them.
    I daisy chained them and they work just fine. I would like to setup a Raid 0 on these drives. How do I do it? I go into the disk utility, it states to drag the disks or volumes in, "Cannot Do" and to hot create, "Which is grayed out!"
    Can anyone help please? I would like to get this up and running asap.
    One more thing, do the drives need to be OSX Journaled or can they be FAT32?
    All the help is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Will this wireless setup work?

    Okay, so my original airport card in my iMac that I got for $70 died after 3 years, so I was wondering instead of replacing it for $130 (RIP OFF) if I could do the following setup:
    Connect this USB adapter to a USB hub that is connected to my iMac.
    That should work correct? Assuming that I use the proper driver it should work, or atleast it seems it would be.
    Has anyone had experience with this? The reason I want to connect the USB adapter to the USB hub (btw) is because I dont want that huge thing sticking out of my iMac, heck it might not even fit in there the way the USB ports on it are.
    (The iMac is running 10.4.3, with 1GB of RAM, I had to reinstall the OS, so I was unable to update the whole OS, so what I will do is burn the driver to a CD using my MacBook Pro and then use it in the iMac....I really hope someone has experience with this adapter...)
    Thanks in advance!
    (EDIT: I'm using the Snow Airtport base station....if that matters)
    this was posted on MacRumors also.

    Your best bet is this one. I'm using one of these with my iMac 400 DV and it works great. It connects to the Ethernet port, rather than by USB. Much faster than USB, too.

  • I need to upgrade my MacBook 13" white 2008 hard drive.  I have found a WD6400BPVT western digital Scorpio blue 640GB (5400rpm) SATA 8MB 2.5" will this fit and work? Many thanks for any help

    I had a 640GB HDD in my Early 2008 Macbook and it was just too much it would always freeze up the computer a bit for only a few seconds but ya. Then I realized that it was the size of the HDD that was causing it since the Early 2008 Macbook models can only handle a MAX od 500GB while the Early 2008 Macbook Pros could have a MAX of 640GB (Lucked out there!) lol But ya the Early 2008 Mocbooks can only handle a MAX HDD size of 500GB and that's it!! lol

  • My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    Sure, you can get around it if you don't need the newest version of iTunes. I still use version 7.5 because the newer versions didn't strike me as offering anything I needed.
    If you do need a version 10-something then you will have to upgrade your operating system to Leopard (fi your computer will support it) at least.  If you need 10.5 for some reason then there's no getting around it, you will have to buy a new computer.

    Well, there are different versions of Sata.  See:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA#Revisions
    I think this is the info someone would need:
    You may want to post machine info.
    blue apple > about this mac > more info button. Click on the hardware line. It has a little triangle in front of the word hardware.
    Leave out the serial number.
    Example:
    Machine Name: iMac
    Machine Model: PowerMac4,1
    CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (33.11)
    Number Of CPUs: 1

    Look around & see if you can find the bus speed for the SATA.

  • What RAID setups work for each setup?

    Can anyone point me to a source that can give me detailed information about what RAID setups are best for each situation. Our current situation is that we have:
    2x Xserve RAID running on Xsan with two Xserve G5 servers, one for media and the other for Metadata.
    We are thinking about using one whole RAID (2x LUN) for Media, and 1 LUN of the other RAID for metadata, and then the second LUN of the second RAID for switchable media (backup on HD's). So what RAID is best for media and what is best for metadata? Is it possible to set a whole RAID with two LUNs as RAID 0 or would it need to be seperate?
    If someone has some info about what RAID setups work best I would be happy to hear about it!
    We will be connecting 3x FCP machines through fiber, but other workstations will be connected through a deticated ethernet switch with 1Gb connection to the Xsan but 100Mb connection to the Switch.
    Best regards,
    Orvar Halldorsson
    Sagafilm

    You can also try the Xsan Tuning Guide. It recommends that the Meta info be striped as raid 1. When you are in RAID admin and click on create array it will tell you which raids are good for speed and which ones are good for protection. Here is the link as well
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Xsan1.1TuningGuide.pdf
    There is also an app you can download to test the bandwidth of the volumes.

  • I need help - My illustrator CS2 just quit working.  Can anyone help?

    I went to open a file yesterday and illustrator just freezes on me.  won't open.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled but no luck.  My photo shop is working fine but Indesign now asks for serial number and then tells me it is not valid. Panic here as Adobe states they will not support/help me even if I pay.  They say illustrator CS2 is to old.  It does what I need for my business and must have it up and running again.  Short of buying the update - does anyone out there know of something I can try to resolve this?  HELP ME PLEASE????  Karen

    You are a life saver!!!!  It worked!  Thank You  so much - Why couldn't
    Adobe just sent this to me in the first place.  It would have made my life
    soooooo much easier.  Back in business again - just in time to get a rush
    order handled for one of our customers.   THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

    If is a fillable form, just tab to the next field. What we do not understand from you is IF it is a fillable form or not. If it is not, then the 3 options I gave can be used. Placing text is always a problem. You might find it useful to turn on the grid to help in placing your typewriter fields. However, if it is fillable you do not have to create any fields to type in, you just leave the tool as the hand tool and select the predefined fields with the cursor or the tab key and type accordingly. If the field is a checkbox, then you just use the space key to activate it.
    So, are we talking about a fillable form or something that has the appearance of a form, but not fields to fill in. This is what Bernd has been try to find out and you keep suggesting it is fillable as we read what you have said.
