Is this thing

compatible with my Mac Pro? Can I pop it in and use it for a boot drive (Snow Leopard)?

Users say the above is bootable in the comments section.
Otherwise....
CAN YOU BOOT OS X?
ATTO's R644 will boot OS X if you flash it with the efi64 flash update file from the Mac OS X Flash Bundle. After using Carbon Copy Cloner to clone our OS X boot drive to a triple SSD RAID set, we confirmed that the R644 does boot OS X. The HighPoint RR2721 (and 2722) does not have an EFI BIOS so it can NOT boot OS X. (That is confirmed as true.)
6Gb/s SSDs on the Mac Pro
so given the limitation of the Mac Pro bandwidth you don't benefit from 6G SSD w/o a controller, and if you really can't off load the files and point to non-boot drive with a symbolic link or something you would be stuck with bootable controller and stripe of JBOD I guess, with a set of 2-3 SSDs (If you need 800GB and using SSD and have enough I/O writes in a month plan on at least 30% for provisionng.

  • Wil the OCZ vortex 3 SSD work in the apple Mac Book Pro?

    I really want to get the fastest SSD (money is not the issue) out there in my Macbook Pro 2011 I was just wondering if the Vortex 3 will be able to work at his maximum perfomance in the mac book pro 2011, and is 6Gb/s SATA 3 supported.

    it should work as long as all of the 8,X versions of the MBP have the Intel 6 series chipset I have a 13" (MacBookPro 8,1) and it can support SATA 6.0Gb/s Drives. A downside to putting in a non Apple SSD is you will not get TRIM Support on it, however a Toshiba SSD may be able to use the TRIM Support as I have seen a number of Apple SSD's listed as TS128GB which are Toshiba drives.
    I know people are complaining about the freeze after wake on the Vertex 2 however I have a 2011 13" i5 (MBP 8,1) and installed a OCZ Agility 2. On the FirmWare that came on the drive 1.27 I was having this issue. I updated the FirmWare to 1.29 yesterday and have not seen it yet.
    Now the problem is updating the FW with OCZ. They put the Mac logo on the back of the box however you will not have support on updating the FW from them. Users on the forum have come up with ways to update it, with that said most are using Linux being booted from a CD. I was unable to update mine this way. First these are such new machines that none of the linux os's listed will wake when you suspend to RAM as instructed. I also could not get an internet connection on any of them (wired or wireless) which you need to have. I updated mine using a win7 notebook since it is easy to access the HD and used LinuxLiveOS. I did not have to reformat nor did I have to bootcamp my SSD, it also did not erase anything from it but back up your data, thats what the old HDD is good for now, using it as a TimeMachine Disk. I just plugged my SSD into the SATA connector on my win7 machine and booted from CD/DVD on the window's machine....see they can be useful.
    With this being said there is no guarantee your OCZ SSD will work properly all of the time or 1.29 will fix the hibernate problem they are having. I am only informing you and others of the support or lack of support OCZ has for their products even though they label something Mac Compatible, which isn't a complete lie, THEY do not support updates for US Mac Users.

    WiFi will work, cellular will work but they may not be able to access LTE, they will have to send it back to you for the warranty work.

  • Will the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10 work with my Intel Core 2 MBP?

    Will the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10 work with my Intel Core 2 MacBook Pro and/or will I have to upgrade OSX & iLife (£122GBP).  Have seen that AVCHDLite is not directly compatible with Mac, but the articles are mostly 2 yrs old the panasonic website proudly displays the iPhoto and iMovie compatible icons http://panasonic.net/avc/lumix/compact/zs7_tz10/.  Have chosen this as a quality compact camera with wide angle lens, powerful optical zoom & a marine housing.

    AVCHD is not compatible with iPhoto but is with iMovie - not sure about AVCHDLite

  • Will the T-Mobile iPhone 6 work with AT&T LTE?

    Will the T-Mobile iPhone 6 work with AT&T LTE? This page seems to indicate it will: http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ But I imagine the phone could be locked to T-Mobile.

    What about the contract free one?  It ships with a T-Mobile SIM and is unlocked (e.g. AT&T works with no issues on 4G for me), I'm just unable to get LTE.    I've noticed the "carrier" setting is missing from the Settings menus...however when I navigate to the About screen, it downloads the carrier specific updates, so based upon https://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ it should work, right?
    How do you get AT&T LTE on the contract-free/T-Mobile SKU?

  • Will the iPhone 6 t-mobile work in Aftica?

    If you purchase the T-Mobile version direct from Apple, it is reported to be unlocked and should work. However, it may not support all of the LTE bands there.

  • Will the Verzion version iPhone 5 work with t-mobile?

    I have been wondering will the Verzion version iPhone 5 work with t-mobile?

    Just to clarify Meg's answer a bit, it will only work at 3G speeds in some cities. Outside of those few areas where T-Mobile has a 3G network that is compatible with the iPhone in the US, you won't even get that. You'll only get EDGE speeds in most of the country.

  • Will the Find My Phone app work on Iphone 3

    Will the Find My Phone app work on the Iphone 3? If so, how do I activate it?

    If you have MobileMe, you must use the Settings pane in your MobileMe email to activate the service that way.
    If you have iOS 5 and an iCloud account, you can turn on Find my iPhone in that same manner (iCloud email address) without using the app.
    The application itself just shows you where your iPhone is, so this could work with other iOS devices, etc.
    Either way, you will still need to logon to me.com or icloud.com to track your phone (first two methods).

  • Will the new ATI graphics card work on PowerMac G5 Quad?

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem with my PowerMac G5 Quad, simply the graphics card is at fault. The rest of the machine is in perfect working order. I need a new graphics card and i've searched ebay (UK) and found some products. However, I would like a new graphics card with a little more power.
    As I develop code using the OpenCL API on the windows machine, I would like to transfer this process over to my Mac (have to install OpenCL API myself, as Leopard does not have native OpenCL support). More importantly, OpenCL supports selected GPU types i.e. latest GPUs from ATI/Nvidia.
    Simply put, would anyone know or have experience installing the newer ATI/NVIDIA generation of Mac Graphic cards on PowerMac G5 Quads and if so, which graphic card (ATI RADEON 4850 etc).
    As I think about this, both PowerMac G5 Quad and Mac Pro utilise PCI-E and yes, even though graphics cards are not particularly interchangeable on different architectures (or are they?) I would just like to know if anyone can give me advice or if anyone has had success or failure at such an attempt.
    I really cannot afford to buy a Mac Pro machine and there is still many years of life left in my PowerMac G5. I really need your help and advice friends.

    Hi-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    No modern card will work in a G5.
    The best that one can do in a PCIe graphics G5 is to use a flashed Geforce 7800 GTX 512MB card.
    That card is the pinnacle of GPU power for a G5.
    There are no options beyond that.
    Here is a full, "short" list of options:

  • Will the Lenovo Helix Digitizer Pen work with Windows 7

    Hello forum,
    I work in the IT department and we have recently order a number of Lenovo Helix to use for special projects.
    We will be downgrading to Windows 7 64-bit.
    My question is will the digitizer pen still be supported by Windows 7?
    Maybe I over looked, but I did not see any drivers that seemed to be associated with the digitizer pen or any previous mention of this and downgrading to Windows 7.
    Any information you can provide will be helpful.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Stylus pen is natively supported by W7 and it will work "out of the box".

  • Will the Sound Blaster X-Fi Work with Sony Viao Laptop?

    7Will the Sound Blaster X-Fi Work with Sony Viao Laptop?@ I have a Sony Vaio Laptop. When i purchased the laptop i did not know you could only play music through the mic on Sony Vaio. The mic and sound card are intergrated and there is no stereo mix on the Sony Vaio's.( You cannot en-able the stereo mix on Vaio's )I like to play music on a chat program called pal talk, they have music rooms. But my music sounds like crap because i have to play through the mic. I purchased this USB Sound Blaster to hopefully allow me to play through the sound blaster card. There is a lady on pal talk who plays music and talks on the mic using a Sony Vaio. She is the one that told me i needed to get a creavti've sound card to play music in the rooms. The problem is
    I can't find her to ask which sound card she purchased. So i did some research and purchased the X-Fi usb card. Now the problems start. I purchased the X-Fi, turned on the?my laptop as stated?and inserted?the X-Fi?
    Into the USB slot. The program asked for permission to run and i clicked yes. It download almost all the way and became stuck while installing the console, went from zero to 27% and stopped. I tryed it 8 times with the same thing happening. I went to the site and downloaded the software from there and the same thing happened. What am i doing wrong? Also when i inserted the unit in the USB slot and clicked on the speaker icon and pulled up the sound information, i see that the X-Fi mic is installed and working but i don't see the X-fi sound card? I checked every where! Also i tryed playing music in one of the music rooms and they said no sound, no sound! Is it just that this will not work with a Sony Vaio? Or am i doing something wrong? I am running vista 64 bit, 4 gig's of memory and daul core?processor and my Laptop is only months old. The laptop sound card is Reltek High Deff Audio. Any help would be great.

    the usb sound blaster x fi 5.1 pro thx does come with ddl but not dts connect.
    it works for games and movies using optical n get digital surround sound
