Very Important Raid Question

PLEASE CAN SOME ONE TELL HOW TO GET MY RAID DRIVES BACK ON THE TRACK.
MY MSI MAX2 845 RAID BORD IS BROKE, AND I WANT TO READ MY DRIVES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WITH WHAT? I CANNOT FIND/BUY ANOTHER BORD.
HELP HELP HELP

If they are striped and you can't connect them to the same type of Raid controller anymore then you are probably out of luck.  
You must put the drives on the same connector as master/slave as they were before.
How broke is the board?

  • Very Specific RAID Questions

    I've read the RAID article twice now.  I still have some questions, which're quite specific:
    Let's consider the following situation:
    C: SAMSUNG 850 Pro Series MZ-7KE256BW 2.5" 256GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
    for OS and Programs
    D: 3TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache, SATA 6.0Gb/s Hard Drive
    for Source Media and Projects
    E: SAMSUNG 850 Pro Series MZ-7KE128BW 2.5" 128GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
    for Pagefile and Media Cache
    F: SAMSUNG 850 Pro Series MZ-7KE128BW 2.5" 128GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
    for Preview and Exports.
    I'm planning on using this for exporting with Pr and Ae.
    Here're my main questions.  These are quite specific given the circumstances, so articles haven't exactly answered my them:
    When "Identical Drives" are needed for RAID arrays, does that include the usable disk space (such as 256GB or 128GB, etc.)?  Or does it just have to be the manufacturer/type of drive?
    Would any type of RAID even be applicable given the above situation?  (In your opinion)
    Which drives are best suited as HDDs and SSDs, in regards of FAST render times?
    Which of the 4 drives should be connected with RAID, if they even should be at all?
    Should the Source Media and Projects Drive be an HDD or SSD?  I have proper backups and all that, but SIZE MATTERS.  I have growing collections, so I need a lot of space on that drive.
    Between what drives does the connection need to be the fastest?  All of them?  Or some more specific than others?  I fear that if an HDD is used as a Source Media and Project drive, it may significantly lower the speed of the entire machine, considering the other drives being SSDs.  However, I don't know.
    If you need other hardware specifications, they can be found here:

    When "Identical Drives" are needed for RAID arrays, does that include the usable disk space (such as 256GB or 128GB, etc.)?  Or does it just have to be the manufacturer/type of drive?
    Yes. Each member disk in an array is treated as if it has the same size as the smallest one. If you have one 128 GB disk and a number of 512 GB disks, all those 512 GB disks will be treated as 128 GB disks and the rest of the space remains unused and inaccessible.
    Would any type of RAID even be applicable given the above situation?  (In your opinion)
    No. Not enough identical drives.
    Which drives are best suited as HDDs and SSDs, in regards of FAST render times?
    Render for preview or render for export?
    Which of the 4 drives should be connected with RAID, if they even should be at all?
    None. There are not enough identical disks to warrant a raid. Even with 3 identical disks in a software raid5, the speed will be around the same as a single disk.
    Should the Source Media and Projects Drive be an HDD or SSD?  I have proper backups and all that, but SIZE MATTERS.  I have growing collections, so I need a lot of space on that drive.
    On the HDD, provided you can completely turn off the "IntelliPower" feature, since it is a stupid feature that reduces the HDD to a non-suitable green disk.
    Between what drives does the connection need to be the fastest?  All of them?
    Yes.
    The system looks nice from the specs, but the disk setup is still the weak link. It would be significantly faster if you could afford four Samsung 850 Pro SSD's of 500 GB each, in addition to the 256 GB OS disk, and configure them as two raid0 arrays and use the HDD as an export drive only.

  • VERY VERY IMPORTANT iMOVIE QUESTION!

    Hey! I really need your help!
    So... I have been working on a project on iMovie for a few months now..
    It all went well, til' when the Movie was about 20 minutes long... I couldn't play it in Full Screen, cause my Laptop always froze and i had to force quit iMovie... But it wasn't to big of a problem, because I could stil watch the movie, just not in Full Screen... But I got with it..
    Now the movie is 45 minutes long and I have a big Problem!!! I CAN'T PLAY THE MOVIE AT ALL! iMovie freezes as soon as I click on this project.. All the other projects are fine... JUST THIS ONE! I really need this Movie... It's really important!!! WHAT DO I DO?!?!?
    Please help me!   Thanks in advance!

    I think it's pretty much been covered with everything. You have 2 options:
    1) Buy a replacement battery once yours is dead.
    2) Don't buy a replacement battery and work off the mains.
    And if you find out your processor is too slow if you go with option 2, then switch to option 1. You may be strapped for cash now, but if you save pennies for the next five years, you'll cover it. Probably if you do get five years' life out of your battery, your Pro will be an old 'just in case' laptop by that point anyway.
    You might want to research how you can make your battery life last longer as well. Like how charged up you should keep your notebook, whether or not to drain the battery completely and for how often etc. Can't remember the MBP's battery type off the top of my head.

  • Very important Battery Question from a prospective Mac buyer...

    Hi, guys!
    I am thinking of purchasing a Macbook Pro and just read that the battery is sealed-in. I know that I am able to buy a replacement battery, but I would also like to find out if I can still use the Pro even after the battery is broken?
    I have no problems with only being able to use the Pro when plugged into an outlet, but is it possible? Can I still use it in Plugged Mode even if the battery is long gone? Or do I really need to have a working battery in order to be able to use it (plugged or not)?
    Im a bit strapped for cash so I just wanna make sure to cover all bases before making a purchase.
    Thanks!

  • A very important question for every After Effects user

    a very important question for every After Effects user, from product manager Steve Forde:
    http://adobe.ly/1exI6tI

    Tom Daigon Great idea everybody! Encourage Adobe to do ONLY ONE THING with AE for 2014. Since theres not a heck of a lot of development that can be done on the present foundation, they can really stretch the rental scheme out for many years.And once you get used to the concept, every year they will do ONE THING to placate you. So now they have you swallowing no "ownership" of software and limited development. 

  • A very important question about the HostSample-Help needed!

    Hi,
    I'm trying to build a plugin for EM 12c ( 12.1.0.2 ) which suppose to monitor jmx mbeans .
    I encountered during the README file which was packed with the EDK .
    1. In the section where I try to use Flash builder ( ver 4.6 - that's the only release I found .. ) I folowed the instructions if how to run the example ( HostSample/HostSystem ) . When I run the example ( I installed the sdk's of Flash and everything that was written there - no problem )
    in the web browser i got the login page , and put the parameters ( username, password ) as it said in the README - the same username/password as i log in to the EM console .Than I got an error saying " ... RPC fault string ..... Logging to management server ... URL:https.. host ( my host name ) : port ( my port number ) /em..."
    Does anyone has a clue about this ? What am i doing wrong or miss something ?
    It is very important and urgent to me . please help .

    To add a bit more detail. Before you run the application from FlashBuilder, open the same browser you will use to run/debug the application in FlashBuilder and install certificate.
    Firefox:
    . when the "This Connection is Untrusted" warning appears
    . expand the "I Understand the Risks" item
    . click the "Add Exception..." button
    . on the "Add Security Exception" dialog, ensure "Permanently store this exception" is checked
    . click "Confirm Security Exception" button
    IE:
    . when the "Certificate Error: Navigation Blocked" page appears, click "Continue to this website (not recommended)"
    . click on the "Certificate Error" icon in the browser address bar
    . in the "Untrusted Certificates" popup, click "View Certificates"
    . click on the "Certification Path" tab of the "Certificate" dialog
    . select the root certificate (certificate at the root of the tree)
    . click "View Certificate..." button
    . click "Install Certificate..." on the "Certificate" dialog that appears
    . click "Next" on the "Certificate Import Wizard"
    . select "Place all certificates in the following store" button and click "Browse..."
    . select "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" on the "Select Certificate Stores" dialog and click "OK"
    . click "Next" button, and then "Finish" button
    . click "Yes" on "Security Warning" dialog that appears
    The other alternative is to enable http access using "emctl secure unlock". This is not recommended for a production site.

  • GAP on credit control very important & tricky

    1.     Create a sales order with quantity 1
    2.     Order is blocked because of credit limit check.
    3.     Release sales order and delivery is created
    4.     Change order amount on VA02 for this sales order as 10.000
    Displays the following “warning” messages:
    Schedule line quantity is larger than target quantity
    Delivery of      1,000 has already been made for item 000010
    Skip these messages by pressing enter and save the order:
    5.     Go to VL02, change quantity as 10.000 and post good issue.
    This problem is very important and this means currently there is no risk control on our system.
    please provide the solution to have a control

    hello again, vipin.
    pardon my persistence, but i find this case very interesting.
    just now i tested rush order with credit block in our test system.  this is what i observed...
    1.  i made a rush order for 1 unit.  when i saved it, the order was blocked for credit and no delivery was created.
    2.  i released the order using VKM3, and the delivery was automatically created.
    3.  i went back to the order and increased the order quantity to 10.  i got the same messages you did.  but when i saved the order, it was again blocked for credit.
    4.  when i released it again, it did not automatically create a new delivery and this i had to do manually.
    the question is why did your rush order not get blocked again when you increased the quantity?  because if you followed standard settings it should.
    however, i guess my capacity is up to here only.  hope somebody else would come up with the real solution.
    anyway, my best wishes to you.
    regards.

  • Why can I not use my Norton Toolbar... It is a very important item... If I can not run norton toolbar, then I do not want the new version of firefox.... How do I go back to my old version..

    Question
    Why can I not use my Norton Toolbar... It is a very important item... If I can not run norton toolbar, then I do not want the new version of firefox.... How do I go back to my old version..

    Norton has had over 5 months to work in their Firefox extensions, since the API's were locked for 4.0. Ask Norton why they pull this crap every time Mozilla releases a new version of Firefox. When Firefox 3.6 was released mid-January 2010, it took Norton until almost April to come up with a working version of their Firefox extensions.

  • Importing Quiz Questions

    I'm trying to find a way to reuse some questions in my course for inclusion in a Final Quiz, without having to reinput all of the questions.
    I made a copy of my course and imported the questions I wanted for my Final Quiz. I didn't think I could use these, as they had the same interaction ID as the questions in my course. Is there a way around having to reinput questions from my course I want to include in a Final Quiz without retyping all and have my scoring work property when reporting to LMS?
    Thanks very much.
    Susan

    Yes, you can change them, just make sure they are unique within the quiz. They are auto generated to keep them from being repeated.
    Usually I've seen the quiz import tool create new unique interaction id's for questions. The only time I have seen the interaction ID repeated is if you use the copy/paste function to recreate the quiz slides. However, it has been a while since I used the import quiz tool.
    The cat-on-keyboard method is one trick I have seen used to keep the id's random.

    my scenario client java proxy to inbound abap proxy.  should be used by exclusive queue for it during sending to receiving, any another message should not use this queue included xi and ecc queue.
    can anyone explain me?
    thanks & regards;

    Hi Venjamin,
    U may use one queue with ABAP Proxy or a BPM scenario.
    This can be done using: Configure Filter for Queue Prioritization in transaction sxmb_adm.
