RAID support level for A75MA-G55 mainboard.

Do you know if the A75MA-G55 mainboard supports RAID5?. If it doesn't, do you know if MSI is planning on adding that feature in the near future?. Thank you very much!.

 According to the manual only RAID 0, 1 & 10. We don't have any idea what MSI does or doesn't have plans for, we don't work for MSI we are users same as you.

  • A75MA-G55 oc genie 2

    I got A75MA-G55 mainboard last month and i can't get oc genie 2 to work since then. When i enable this option in Control Center and reboot, the system won't start and PC just keeps restarting. I tried loading the default options (i really didn't change anything in BIOS) in BIOS and activating OC genie 2, but it's the same as for enabling it in Control Center. This results in me clearing CMOS. I don't know why, but I can't get Overclocking Center and AMD Overdrive to work, either. I updated BIOS to the latest version v1.3. Do i need to install drivers or am i doing something wrong? I installed all drivers from Liveupdate 5 but it says I haven't got the latest versions of display driver, network and audio drivers even when i installed them.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    My system specs:
    MSI A75MA-G55(MS-7696)

    Geez... You Too?
    Plus RAID issues
    Plus Crossfire issues
    This is my first new build in a while.
    MY initial overclocking experience involved a #2 pencil and a 750mhz AMD Duron,
    after that it was more like microsurgery with magnified optics, soldering traces.
    I haven't done much since AGP got phased out by PCI.
    What sounded like, in the initial reviews, to be a Board "Sent by the Gods"
    I bit...  I bought...
    and now I'm finding that there is no documentation anywhere on
    initializing any of the features that I bought it for in the 1st place.
    Sure, I can Convert(x) 2 .avi movies per DVD in 20 minutes instead of 2 hours...
    But I'm walking around feeling like I just PAID to be a BETA Tester.
    LiveUpdate5 keeps telling me "Your Drivers are current, You have nothing to update'
    When I KNOW there are more current point releases.  I've SEEN them.
    I make $10 an hour...   after taxes and child-support payments, that leaves $195 a week.
    Any ideas on How Long you have subsist on Ramen Noodles and multi-vitamins to do this?
    I've got about a month's pay sunk into this system
    New Coolermaster HAF case w/ 200mm red led fans
    It Looks good...   It LOOKS like it wants to run
    4G of 1600 mhz Corsair VENGEANCE RAM
    and another 4G in reserve for Win7 (current XP)
    MSI R6670 Graphics Card
    a Terabyte of Fresh Barracuda's...Raid 0 would SO pump out those GB/s
    Half the frustration was that my 1st 7696 had a bad RAM slot #2
    5 hour round-trip to MICROCENTER on public transportation-  THREE TIMES
    only to find out that it WASN'T the RAM being quirky.
    Once I figure this thing out...and I will figure it out
    I'll post my findings.
    I just don't get it though...
    in the reviews... snip, snap, plug, power... bada-bing bada-boom 
    ... HUMMING!!!
    and I wonder if I'm too stupid or too smart to solve the problem.
    I'll be in touch

  • No RAID support, even hardware raid on the enclosure level

    According to a report from XLR8Yourmac.com, a customer bought an Airport Extreme (n) basestation but was unable to have their RAID enclosure recognized. Instead, only one drive shows up instead of two, and is unreadable. Applecare told him that even hardware RAID needs to be supported at the driver level for the unit, and they didn't think the Extreme had enough horsepower to do it. I question this, since you can attach RAID enclosures to computers so old, they are less powerful computers than the n basestation.
    This is very bad news for me, as I have two 1TB RAIDs (OWC Mercury Elite Pro 800/400/USB2 SATA RAID enclosures) that I was going to attach to the new extreme, but now, I'm not buying one at all...

    OK, thank you. That's exactly my status. And since this machine is very slow and has only around 1GB of memory (minus memory for the GPU!), a swap partition seems pretty important - and be it only for hibernating.
    For the records: I recently thought about trying out a swap file on a dedicated non-journaled partition (ext2 f.ex.) mounted with nodiscard. I don't know how much performance I would lose or if hibernating really works flawlessly. But since I'm now using a different harddrive for the netbook and it's running, I don't want to setup everything again at the moment. If anybody tries the swap file variant, it would be nice to report back in this thread :-)

  • The best RAID level for video editing that has some form of redundancy?

    I've been asked to help find the best solution for importing and editing large amounts of HDV (25 Mbit/s) video. However, those whom I am helping also want a level of redundancy that will allow a single drive to fail and their data to be preserved. So what I'm trying to figure out is the best RAID level (or levels) for their need. I'm fairly certain that either 0+1 or 10 is what I'm looking for, however the I/O performance differences between 0+1 and 10 aren't quite clear to me. If someone could explain that to me I would appreciate it. Additionally, if someone knows a better level than either 0+1 or 10 for the needs I described, please don't hesitate to let me know.

    The difference between RAID 10 and RAID 0+1 is how the array is created.
    RAID 0+1 creates a RAID from multiple RAID 0 arrays that are mirrored.
    You can tolerate any number of drive failures in any one side of the mirror (that side of the mirror goes offline as soon as any one disk fails, so it doesn't matter how many other disks fail in the same array), but one drive failure on both parts of the mirror will trash your data.
    RAID 10 creates a stripe of multiple RAID 1 mirrors.
    In this setup you create RAID 1 mirror sets and stripe them together.
    In this setup you can tolerate one disk failure in each element of the stripe.
    For example if you have 6 drives you might create three mirrors of two drives each, and each mirror is then striped.
    You can lose one drive in each mirror, but if you lose two drives in any mirror set, you're out of luck.
    In both cases, though, you're not going to get the best usage out of the array since mirroring has a 50% overhead - meaning you're only going to get 50% of your total disk capacity as usable space.
    With the XServe RAID, the RAID 5 performance is very good - good enough for your 25MB/sec throughput so I'd go with RAID 5 arrays, not RAID 0 or 1 on the XServe RAID itself.
    Then, depending on your space requirements, you can either stripe or mirror them together for a RAID 50 or 51 array. In this way you gain the data redundancy of RAID 5 with better disk utilization than 10 or 0+1.
    RAID 50 will give you the best performance (and the most usable space), RAID 51 will give you the best redundancy.
    At the end of the day it's up to you to decide which format to use based on performance and usable space requirements.

    Hi Senthil,
    of course it is always recommended to use the newest Support Package Stack,
    but if your system (your business processes) are working fine, I would recommend you to
    import support package only then when you have an error or you want to have a special fiunctionality.
    Some customers play support packages into the system only twice a year, because the business processes
    should be tested after the sp import.

    Hi Rajesh,
    Please see the note '833438', it explains which pack is required in this scenario.
    "You cannont connect ERP (R/3) releases lower than 4.6C to CRM 5.0.
    All subsequent CRM releases (5.0 or higher) cannot be connected to ERP lower
    than (R/3) 4.6C.
    These types of system landscapes are not supported by SAP.
    If you are using CRM 5.0, you must have implemented Plug-in PI 2004.1
    Support Package 10 and, provided you have Basis Release 620 or higher, you
    must import PI_BASIS 2005.1 in R/3. --> After you have imported these
    plug-ins"
    Thanks,

  • Support Pack level for upgrade

    Hi All,
    We are upgrading from R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.0, can anybody provide me Support Pack level for SAP_ABA, SAP_BASIS etc. before starting upgrade.
    I have gone through lot of OSS notes but not getting exact SP level.
    Regards,
    Sachin

    I depends on
    - what upgrade package you use (SR1, SR2, SR3)
    - the SP level of the source system
    The upgrade guide tells you the minimum SP level needed to do the upgrade.
    If you use the new CD/DVD set, the system will be upgraded to SP 12 (BASIS, ABA, SAP_APPL).
    If you backup your wage tables before the upgrade (as described in the installation guide) you can also go to the highes SP level for SAP_HR.

It has a processor (AMD A-8 3870K) before trouble could overclock to 4.0GHz, but now it goes from 3.6ghz: (... By increasing to over 3.6ghz pc does not start and I have to clear the CMOS for reuse ... the second problem is with the GPU hd6550D now I can not run any game at medium quality such as "far Cry 3" or "Bioshock Infinite" and before if I could .... the previous BIOS version was the V13 or 1.3 which everything worked.
    The characteristics of my pc are:
    - MSI Motherboard-A75MA-G55 (MS-7696)
    - 3870K Processor A-8
    - 2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1333 (667MHz)
    - Hard Drive WD 750GB 64MB Cache
    - Thermaltake CLP0575 Frio OCK
    Thank you in advance ...!

  • Setting approval level for credit management in SD

    Dear Gurus,
    I have a case like this:
    My client would like to use credit management in SD. They have few approval levels for for credit limit release.
    Exp: With SD has amount under from 1000$, Mr. A has the right to approve and release it
            With SD has amount bigger than 1000$, Mr. A  have to release it and then Mr. B check again afterwards Mr. B can reject and release it up to his decision.
    As I see in SAP, maybe there is only one level for check and after release the SO doesn't need other approve anymore. But I am still concerning about how to find or config to satisfy this requirement.

  • RAID Stripe size for HD Capture

    Hey everyone,
    So I just captured a lot of Uncompressed 8 bit 4:2:2 1080i60.
    The video alone requires ~ 118 MB/s sustained transfer speed for live capture without dropped frames.
    I used our new MacPro. We built an internal RAID with 3 250 GB drives all striped together. I had to decide which stripe size to use. Since we have proportionally less files than the average RAID(200 or so at the most), and because our files are HUGE (2-40 GB), I figured a large stripe size would be apropriate. I set it to the max that Mac OS X software RAID supports, though I must confess I dont remember exactly what that was.
    We had little trouble with capture, sustaining over 200 MB/s bandwidth with this setup according to the Blackmagic drive speed test. However, when the drives filled up, they (expectedly) slowed down quite a bit. I frequently did speed tests, and when it got low I had to switch into shooting DVCPRO HD to avoid dropped frames.
    We had similar experiences before, when I had this same setup with the default stripe size, though it seemed overall a bit better with larger stripe sizes.
    My questions are thus:
    1) Is there any way to use a really large stripe (2MB or so) without buying a hardware RAID controller?
    2) Is my thinking correct that if I have a small number of gigantic files I should use a large stripe size?
    3) If I were to wipe out all my drives (including the 250 gig startup drive), and boot off the CD, could I tie all 4 drives together into RAID-0, and then install Mac OS X to that (and presumably partition it for a data storage volume)?
    4) Does anyone know of a good 2-4 port eSata PCI Express card that has drivers for the MacPro? I know sonnet has a 2 port, but its one internal SATA and one eSata. I need at least 2 eSata ports for it to be worth my time, because I have a 4 drive eSata RAID box with 4 320GB drives in it. I can use the motherboard's additional 2 SATA connectors through a backplate SATA -> eSATA converter, and with 2 more eSATA ports through PCIe card, I would be able to use all 4 eSATA drives at once.
    4 ports would be even better as I would like to leave internal ports for a BD-R or HD-DVD-R (or whatever they're called) drive later on.
    Thanks!

    1) Is there any way to use a really large stripe (2MB
    or so) without buying a hardware RAID controller?
    256k is the largest block size available with Disk Utility.
    2) Is my thinking correct that if I have a small
    number of gigantic files I should use a large stripe
    size?
    128k is the largest size I would ever think about using. I even use 32k in many situations. You can test it and see what works best for you. Large block sizes do not always translate into higher performance. I find more drives in the striped RAID set helps me more than larger block sizes.
    3) If I were to wipe out all my drives (including the
    250 gig startup drive), and boot off the CD, could I
    tie all 4 drives together into RAID-0, and then
    install Mac OS X to that (and presumably partition it
    for a data storage volume)?
    You could boot from a FW800 external and use all 4 internals
    for a RAID but I think you will be happier with SATA host adapters.
    4) Does anyone know of a good 2-4 port eSata PCI
    Express card that has drivers for the MacPro
    Here are a few options for SATA host adapters on a Mac Pro that I use. The WiebeTech Tera Card TCES0-2e SATA host adapter provides two SATA ports and works with the Mac Pro using SiI-3132 Mac drivers 1.1.6. You can see a review at amug.org:
    http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/wiebetech/tces0/
    The FirmTek SeriTek/2SE2-E 2-port host adapter can be found here:
    http://www.firmtek.com/seritek/seritek-2se2-e/
    It works best on the Quad as it provides boot support and SMART drive support. On the Mac Pro you use the Firmtek cardbus 2SM2-E Mac driver until FirmTek can build new EFI drivers for the Mac Pro. No boot support is provided yet but it does pass SMART data to Mac OS X. Eventually the card will have Mac Pro boot support which will be nice.
    Both cards use the SiI-3132 controller. If you mix the WiebeTech and the FirmTek cards the Silicon Image Mac driver version 1.1.6 will take over and block the SMART data info that the FirmTek card supplies. As this is the case, I would go with one brand or the other but not mix them in the same Mac Pro.
    I have used three cards to provide six external SATA ports. You could use two cards with your external 4-bay enclosure. I would create a striped RAID with 4 external drives and two internal drives. This should provide you with the performance you need to handle 1080HD. If you want more power you could use 7 hard drives = 3 int. and 4 external.
    Have fun!

  • RAID block size for final cut pro x

    Just got one of the new late 2012 27" iMacs and a 6 TB LaCie Thunderbolt drive. Can finally edit the video I took last spring. I'll be using Final Cut Pro X, and doing a lot of multicam stuff with 4 or 5 views and a separate audio track. The LaCie came formatted as a mirrored RAID. I'm going to change that to 0 (Striped RAID set), but am wondering what block size to set. The default is 32k, but I have read that this ought to be increased to the max (256k) for video editing. I have also read it should NOT be increased. And the posts I have read have all been at least 3 years old. So let me ask you all--what block size would you recommend for my situation?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Eddie...
    This depends on what kind of source footage you are editing....
    For compressed Video, Audio and Uncompressed audio 128k
    I have only had BAD results with 256k. 64 is also weird. Whereas 32 is fine.
    All my RAIDs have 128k for audio/video editing
    you can go further if you editing Image Sequences.. but according to my own findings and I have been dealing with raid since years.... 128k does the job the best.
    Rule of thumb.... The smaller the file sizes you are putting the RAID the smaller the block size. And vice versa.
    I.e. You would cripple the raid performance if storing a database on it, having a block size of 256. In case of servers and OS 32k would be a good choice, perhaps even 16k if supported.
