PCIe SATA II card for San Digital RAID tower

I have a San Digital 5 bay RAID tower that I want to use with my Mac Pro. I used this tower previously with a G5 with very good results. The tower came with a PCI card that is too long to fit in the PCIe slots in my Mac Pro 3.1 (it fit in the older G5 despite being told it would not work in a Mac, it worked fine with 10.4 and 10.5)
I need to find a card to run it now.
I attempted to run it off the unused SATA slot on the motherboard but did not recognize it in disk utility or system profiler. Just out of curiousty, is there anything I can use the two unsed SATA spots for?
Thanks for the help.

Users who connected Drives directly to these ports have reported no difficulties under Mac OS X. Windows use requires additional configuration steps to alert Windows BIOS to use them as AHCI ports.
OWC sells a US$20 kit with cables, and one cable is a 90-degree cable because space at the motherboard is so tight.

SIIG PCI SATA MAC CARD in Tiger

Guys, I need a cheap external sata solution for my PM G5 1.6
I found " OWC Mercury Elite Pro -AL Dual SATA Drive Enclosure" for 80 usd, and "SIIG PCI SATA MAC CARD" for 40usd.However, I heard people saying that siig pci sata-mac hangs under Tiger. Is it true?

I have also read of problems from some with the dual drive enclosure, which is less than even their dual FW800.
I did see this eSATA enclosure $69.
I would stick with either Sonnet 2-ch or FirmTek/SeriTek.

Pcie sata III card

I have replaced the airport card of my mid 2010 iMac with a pcie sata III card which works fine (I can even boot from it) but it takes 3 minutes now for the screen to come up and start the OS.
I believe it is some sort of hardware initialization/negotiation that takes that time. Or maybe the system keeps ckeing for the airport card.
Anyone got anmy idea how to solve this? Thank you in anticipation!

Hi BDAqua,
Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately that time (which seems to be almost 4 minutes) is simply missing form the system log (see below).

PCI SATA III card on 2006 MacPro

I'd like to instal a SATA III SSD on my macpro to use it as scratch disk for photoshop and other software.
To be able to use all the speed of the ssd I wont to instal a pci sata III card... but I don't know if there are cards compatible with my 2006 macpro
Could you help my?
Thanks
Daniele

Yes, if your SSD is new SATA3 6G, and also, to not have to share, to off load, the scratch to PCIe
Mac Pro is very limited in just how much I/O bandwidth there is even with 4 internal SATA ports it is less than 1Gb, less than even 250MB/sec per port in real world.
Ideal is to max out RAM to 24GB first or instead, then dedicated scratch disk or array.
Much much more:

I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

Yes, you do this when you export the images from the Library.
File -> Export
in the Size section, you don't need images larger than the frame size, so you can specify that and in the Jpeg Quality you can select the amount of compression used.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

I am trying to copy songs to an sd card for a digital photo frame. I changed my setting in iTunes to mp3 format before I downloaded the song but it didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions? I would be very grateful!

When I play the sd card in my mac or on a lenovo laptop it works but not in the photo frame. I would be grateful for any ideas as to what I am doing wrong.

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

PCI Video Interface Card for Mac Pro/FCP

Could someone please recommend a PCI Video Interface card for my Mac Pro? I'm looking for something that will capture in Beta SP, as well as support HD-SDI (bnc connector) -- does such a card exist?
Thanks!

PCI ATA expansion cards for PM G4

Hi Folks.
So i bought a PCI ATA expansion card for my G4, but the bloody thing won't work. Despite having a Mac logo on the box, the drivers for the card are only compatable with Windows...
My question is, are there any PCI ATA cards around these days that are Mac compatible and dont cost an-arm-and-a-leg?

What brand/model is it?
Here's an alternate card http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/THDMW/

Need PCIE FW800 Expansion Cards For G5 Dual Core 2.0

Hi Gang
Seems like one is always behind the eight ball trying to get ahead.
With the only available PCIe FW800 Multi Port Cards, they've taken away anything that offers more than 2 Ports. Everything is 2 PORT ONLY. There's nothing that I can find. And the prices for PCIe Multi Port FW800 Cards are a whooping triple of standard PCI Cards.
The old issue;
Do Not put a 3rd PCIe card directly above the video card - DO NOT. I've already had overheating which spilled above in regard to my older Single 1.8 Can I trust the better cooling of the Dual Core to put a PCIE card directly above the Video Card?
If not, that leaves me with 2 PCIe Multi-Port Cards with 4 ports available total. But I need to read #5 External Storage drives total.
Unibrain repeater was recommended here, but can I read all 5 drives simultaneouly? SATA Card alternative? No Can Do - because #2 of these older external drives DO NOT have SATA control.

OWC is NO HELP here;

Any other ideas?
Thanx
Mike

Hi direwolf
Hi japamac
Daisy Chaining (as stated by Steve), is not recommended. In fact, it's dangerous if you're depending on reliability for expensive, extensive Video Media. I would never ever do it again
I actually did buy two of these from OWC;
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apiotek/IE1007/
BUT
Got problems; The cards went in like a breeze, but they're NOT reading any of the external Lacie Drives. The Native 800FW port in the G5 reads just fine, but the PCIe cards are not reading the Lacie's. Yes they are recogized in the system profiler. But I've got a mystery on my hands right now.

SATA-3 Card for Hard Drives

Slots
• 3 PCI Express gen2 x16 slots
- two dark Blue PCIE x16 slots (PCI_E2 &PCI_E4) support up to PCIE x16 speed, one Blue PCIE x16 slot(PCI_ E5) supports up to PCIE x4 speed
- supports ATI® Crossfire™
• 2 PCI Express gen1 x1 slots
• 2 PCI slot, support 3.3V/ 5V PCI bus Interface
My original motherboard was replaced with a MSI X58 Pro-E. This motherboard does not support SATA-3 as are my hard drives.
Is there a SATA-3 card that would work in one of the above slots at the SATA-3 6GB/sec?

Not sure how well they work. With spinner HDD's, I don't believe there is much difference between SATA II and SATA III performance.
Some SATA III HDD's have a place for a jumper on the back that allows them to run without any problems on SATA II ports and controllers.

PCI Video Capture Cards for PowerPC?

Hi, I have a few PowerPC macs and I want to record some videogame game play via svideo (composite if svideo isn't an option) on them via a PCI capture card. Can anyone give me a few recommendations for cards to purchase? I do not want a USB or Firewire capture device, and it needs to be real time because I would be playing it through my monitor as it records. Preferably OS9 AND OSX compatible, though either or is perfectly fine. I don't care what format it records in or the compression, as I can deal with that later. Thanks.

Be careful to get a money back guarantee on any Avid Video capture cards. I assisted a wedding videographer who spent seventeen thousand dollars on an elaborate capture and editing system based on NuBus cards for 8100 PPCs and the company never got it to work properly without constant crashing. I am sure that Avid has gone on to produce some quality equipment based on lessons learned in the 1990s but that 8100 generation of cards was worthless.
I am interested in doing the same thing you are looking for so I will post back with what I find. Just avoid being the guinea pig for some company who does not have the details worked out.

Airport card for my g4 adp tower... I can't get it to work.

I'm not very good with computers (when it comes to technical support). And I recently purchased an original airport card for my computer. I also burned the downloads onto a disc so that I would have the software. My computer has an operating system of 10.3.5. I downloaded the driver, turned off my computer, insterted the card and it pops up with an error that says it can't find the airport base station. What is this and do I need to buy something else for my computer? My internet connection is Comcast wireless. Any suggestions, thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read through a computer illiterates post...

It sounds like you are trying to run either the Airport Setup Assistant or the Airport Admin Utility - and since this software is only of use to Airport Base Station owners (which you are not) this software is of no use to you.
If your Airport card has been properly installed, you will see a fan-shaped icon near the right side of the MacOS menu bar - that is the Airport menu. Click on it, and a list of all in-range wireless networks will appear. The name of the wireless router supplied by Comcast should appear there - click on that name to connect to it. With some luck you will now get an internet connection.
If there are no wireless networks displayed when you click on the Airport menu, recheck the installation of your Airport card - you probably forgot to attach the internal Airport antenna cable to its connector on the Airport card.

Recommend a PCIe SATA RAID5 card?

Hi all
Ive been planning on putting an Areca ARC-1220 into my master2Far for a while now but decided to check this forum just in case.
And its a good job i checked too as others seems to be having problems with these two working together.
What I want to know is whether anyone can recommend a PCIe (either x4 or x8) SATA RAID card that plays well with a master2Far ?
I really need RAID5......
