Power Mac G4 - Have you had success with a SATA Drive?

I am replacing a bad SATA drive- have any of you used a SATA drive and had a good experience with it?
the Seagate 1TB I'm replacing is less than a year old. I only want to do this once.
thanks!

Hi-
I've been using WD SATA drives for over 3 years in my G4's, using Firmtek Seritek PCI controllers.
No issues at all.
I have several WD6400AAKS drives, which are very fast and very reasonably priced.
The WD Black drives are excellent as well, with the 2 I have providing reliable eSATA transfer for a couple years.
Performance is shown Here.

  • Have you had success with offbrand ram?

    I just got off the phone w/ 1800 4 memory because the ram I bought (1 gig to max out my computer to 2 gigs) is faulty. They suggested that it might be apple trying to keep people from using third party ram. He suggested I pay more for the samsung ram (that is what originally came with my computer).
    I opted to receive another stick and see how that works. Has off brand ram been a problem for MBP's?

    Most all RAM comes from the same manufactures. There are just a few, and they get together like the oil industry, cut back production, and drive prices up like you seen this summer/fall.

  • Have you had success using Deployment Manager in 9.1.0.2?

    Have you had sucess with Deployment Manager in 9.1.0.2?
    I am seeing very inconsistent before for simple imports UDF, simple adapters, etc. Things work better the first time only after a restart. Sometimes I can fail on the first UDF but other times I can get a couple out of 50.
    We are running 9.1.0.2 BP01, Weblogic 10.3, Oracle 10.2.0.4 2-node rac database.
    Any suggestions?

    We have used. It was working fine for us.

  • TSLicence: have you had problems with this file

    If you have, and I had major issues requiring me to erase and reinstall the OS, not once but several times, listen up: if you cannot open iTUnes, if all it does is bounce a few times in the dock and then die, you may (or may not) get a warning about "TSLicense..." Spotlight will not locate it. Using the finder you will not locate it. You have to go to library: frameworks and just delete the **** thing. Now maybe this license is part of what is attached to, and controls the allowable viewing time of, rented movies from the iTunes store. I don't know and at this point, after an incredibly exhausting two days with Tech Support (and getting a new hard drive installed under warranty), I think by deleting this folder I have my iTunes back. So no more rentals for this puppy: I"m going to go down the street to the store to rent movies. Way way way too much of a headache to bother with the "convenience" of downloaded rentals. (I don't have any problems with the movies I have purchased, by the way.) I hope this saves someone else tons of time. ANd if, by chance, "TSLicense..." is a regular feature of all iTUnes movie rentals, well. Someone better figure out why it was causing this user (and, I'm sure, others) to not be able to open iTunes.

    I do recommend that anyone who is having weird issues with iTunes try Dave's suggestion of UNINSTALLING Flip4Mac and see what happens (but will an uninstall get rid of this particular file? who knows).
    Good point, and something I should not have trusted without confirming. I just tried it and the uninstaller does not remove that framework. That's a serious "oops" on the part of Telestream (and I did confirm that the Flip4Mac installer does install that framework). The framework folder will need to be removed manually.
    Regards.

  • Have you had problems with Bridge CS6 after CR 8.4 installed?

    Adobe Bridge CS6 running on Mac OS X 10.7.5 crashed several times while sorting images .  After installing Camera Raw 8.4, images in portrait orientation rotated to landscape and now the rotate image buttons and menuitems are unavailable for raw files including dng's.  Camera Raw preferences will not open from Bridge.  What is the best approach for uninstalling/reinstalling Bridge and CR updates?  Should I reinstall Photoshop as well?

  • Have you had trouble with an itunes gift purchase?

    I purchased an itunes gift card for my son. It never arrived via UPS Or USPS. I called to cancel it. It is very difficult to even get through to a real person on the phone line. The recorded messages on APPle contact phone number only refers you back to the website. AFter canceling the gift card, I purchased a gift certificate to arrive in MY email and I would give it to my son. It has been two (2) days and I have not received the etunes gift card. I have spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON THIS EFFORT!!!! I will never purchase another card. Frustrated step-mom in Borrego

    From whom did you buy the iTunes card? If it was from the Apple Store, did you call their ordering/customer service number (1-800-MY-APPLE)? I can't imagine that unless the line was just busy and was directing to the Apple web site people who didn't want to wait for an agent (and of course it is Christmas time, so it's quite possible that the order lines are jammed). You could also check your order status by going to the web Apple Store and clicking on the Order Status link. If you bought the card through some other vendor, then of course you'd have to check with that vendor.
    As to your gift certificate, first check any spam filters on your computer or with your ISP to make sure that the email from Apple isn't being filtered out. Nine times out of ten, a gift certificate that fails to arrive has been caught by an email spam filter. Confirm that there's no spam filter in place that would catch a message from Apple and then try resending. Here are the steps to resend a gift certificate...
    1. Launch iTunes.
    2. Click on the Music Store icon in the Source pane to go to the Music Store.
    3. Click on your account name to sign in to the iTunes Music Store.
    4. Enter your password.
    5. Click Purchase History.
    6. Click the small grey arrow next to the Gift Certificate you'd like to resend.
    7. Scroll to the bottom of the detail screen for the Gift Certificate and re-enter the recipient's email address.
    Hope this helps.

  • Have you had experience with a large number of queues in XI/PI?

    We currently have an application that sends work orders using quality of service EOIO. The problem with this approach is that if one message fails, then no further messages are processed until the error is resolved or the message is cancelled. Additionally, throughput is affected since there is no opportunity for parallel processing.
    We are considering changing the application so that rather than having one queue for all work orders, we would specify a separate queue for each work order. This would potentially create thousands of queues but since queues are a logical concept in XI there should be a negligible resource overhead.
    Has anyone tried this? Are there any problems with the qRFC QIN Scheduler in the event of a mass failure?
    We intend to run some tests but are looking for some words of wisdom from anyone else who has been there before.

    hi,
    check these links on controlling queues so that message processing and the available workprocesses to a queue is controlled.

  • Have you had success breaking into the healthcare vertical? Any advice?

    So I got a call from one of my co-workers this morning regarding an email that he has been trying to receive from a (vendor?) regarding generator information.  The domain is powersgenerator.com.
    In looking in my logs, sure enough there is a message in my amavis log regarding open relay:
    Open relay? Nonlocal recips but not originating:
    To the question:
    What is the best way to word an email to this person (in a respectful business manner) to tell him (probably not in IT at all, and will have no idea what I am talking about) the reasons his email was rejected?  Some examples would be awesome.
    Thanks!

  • Have you or have you had problems with iTunes while downloading?

    I have noticed that when using iTunes using a slow DSL connection and sometimes trying to browse while downloading, iTunes does not download the complete file that is there is no Cyclic Reduntancy Check.
    For example, a 40 MB file halfway downloaded will complete and not resume if somehow the internet connection was interrupted.
    It would be great if there was a bit torrent or download manager like DownLoadThemAll (FireFox extension) would be used so you can schedule and resume a connection that was interrupted.
    If you are having a similar problem, please post here and notify Apple to fix this problem.

    I don't have a definite answer, but by any chance do you have your hard drive encrypted? (e.g. Windows BitLocker, or a third-party full-disk encryption package)
    Playing my iTunes media files on my laptop used to work perfectly. Ever since the full disk encryption software was installed, my music skips & buzzes (and sometimes just plays more slowly, which is really weird) whenever the files don't get decrypted fast enough. That's usually when other apps are also accessing files, maybe there's a disk access priority scheme that doesn't work as well when it has to funnel through the decryption driver?
    Also, although my symptoms are occurring on a rotating disc drive, I've heard that there are some compatability problems between the disk encryption packages and the SSDs.

    but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
    If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
    It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.

    FYI:  Some third party software can cause issues with the App Store >   Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text

    They stopped making that model four years ago.  There is no way it is two months old.  Trying connecting it to a computer with iTuens via a USB cable to see if you can re-install the firmware.

    Adobe really does have the worst customer service/tech support of any product I have ever experienced. It is so unfortunate.
