Would this drive fit in my quad core 2010 mac pro?
I would be using this drive with windows as Apple does not support blu-ray.

Yes, any drive will work.. but remember that you might have a problem sometimes with the drive disappearing from finder and not being present in system profiler. This is a problem with non-apple oem drives.. hopefully a fix will come to remedy this problem..
In the meantime, if you should experience this, put your mac to sleep and wake it up - this seems to fix the problem rather than shutting the computer off and starting back up again..

Tony BreuerAll Mac Pro's ever made have shipped with gigabit ethernet. The last non-gigabit tower desktop Apple made was the very first generation PowerMac G4's back in 1999.
Similarly, all Time Capsules have been gigabit ethernet as well - never been one that was not. -

Can I install my hard drive from ppc g5 quad into a mac pro?
heres my thinking.......
i have a quad 2.5 ppc g5 and i bought it with all the apps already loaded. fcp, c4d, cs4 etc. i dont have serials or discs for apps. i want to buy mac pro quad from ebay...can i install my ppc hd into the new mac pro?The drive will work in a Mac Pro, but it won't be bootable. It might be possible to copy the applications, but they may not work. They may be PPC only versions that would have to run in slower emulation mode, if they work at all. They may not be compatible with the version of OSX on the Mac Pro. Applications with serial numbers often need new serial numbers if used on a different computer. You could use Migration Assistant (Utilities folder) to move your accounts and data, but it may have problems with older apps.
I bought it with all the apps already loaded. FCP, C4D, CS4 etc. I don't have serials or discs for apps.
Then you don't have legitimate copies of the apps. If the previous owner kept the discs and serial numbers, the applications should have been deleted before sale. You should buy current versions of the applications you need. They will work better on a Mac Pro than the older versions (if they would worj at all). -
FCP7.0.3 on OS10.6.8 2x3.2 quad core 8GB Mac Pro
Its playing up again!!! Particular qt movie files have stopped playing. QT cant open them FCP wont play them in the veiwer but can see frame in canvas. When trying to playback in FCP we get "General Error" no ID number with error. Help please. Software update is up to date QT version is 10.0 (131).
Ok, I know its been a while.... Anyhow the spec on the laptop is as follows:
OS 10.4.11
2Ghz Intel Core Duo
2Gb memory
Laptop Macpro
OS 10.4.11 10.6.8
FCP version 6.0.6 7.0.3
QT Version 7.6.4 10.0
Ok so totally different. So is the JVC HD201 no longer supported hardware. Its this camera that is generating the files. The format its shooting is 720 50p wrapped in a .mov and captured tapelessly to a caddied Focus DR-HD100 harddrive.
Eureka! I have found the cause and the prevention. See link below accessed through the Focus website:
http://www.focusinfo.com/dynassets/documents/downloads/MACOSX_Supp_Anncmt_10.21. 11.pdf
So streamclip will work nick but only if the files are recorded in the m2t format on the caddied harddrive. I guess my work around for now is to edit on the laptop with the earlier software versions and not update until Vitec resolve the issue with Apple. Other option is to downgrade QT (see article on link) -

Buying a new Macbook Pro. Deciding b/w this add on:
2.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 vs.
2.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7?
Is it worth the extra $250?
What's the big difference? Thanks.Upgrade RAM yourself through macsales.com for $60. Use the remaining $140 of Apple's mmeory price and upgrade for $150 to hi-res (1680x1050) and anti-glare. I never regretted that upgrade on mine.
My humble opinion.
Sorry ... I just did the math and that puts you $10 out of pocket ... -

if possible answer as quick as u can as if it is a good buy i need to get it today or tommorw as he might find someone else to sell to
thanksYou are due for a new build or pre-built, most definitely.
you should be able to hit score of 14k on 6-core w/o trouble.
And for what you can get for £1799 - £2099 I think you could build one, but start with quality parts and go with a solid foundation that will be supported for years. As long as you don't need OS X as it stands.
the mac pro use to shine when it came to dual processor setups. Custom built dual PCs can be another matter, and not for faint of heart.
Choose current socket support, processor, and motherboard and you really are set for years and can upgrade from there.

DVD/Lightscribe drive for new (late 2010 Mac Pro?
Does anyone know a source for an internal DVD w/ Lightscribe drive for a late 2010 Mac Pro? I want to install it in the second drive bay. I got one from OWC, but the depth of the DVD drawer was about twice that of the original drive that came with the Mac Pro. It would have been able to fit through the drop cover on the front of the Pro, but would not clear the internal rack components. It fit in the rack nicely with the 4 screws lining up properly, but would then not open more than about an eighth of an inch before hitting the internal rack frame, causing it to close. Thanks.
Bummer! The instructions included with the drive did not mention thi. When I called OWC customer service she said that sometimes you had to remove the bezel from the Mac. I told her the Pro had no bezel. She said that the drive info did not specifically say it would fit a 2010 Pro a d gave me a RMA.'nmh bad for not questioning further. Thanks.

Hi All,
I'm trying to resume regular scheduled Full backup ( ~ 1 TB ) of drives using external HD (to allow off-site redundant backup storage) .
What are relative speeds of USB vs. Firewire vs. eSATA ?
I suspect eSATA connection may be considerably faster … how to install eSATA on mid-2010 Mac Pro desktop ( dual hex-core processors)?
( The quicker and easier backup protocol is, the more likely one is to use it to backup on a routine repetitive basis.)
ThanksJim Bogy wrote:

Adding a USB 3.0+eSATA PCIe card, which The hatter mentions, is the best solution that I've found. See http://eshop.macsales.com/item/CalDigit/FASTA6GU3/. The card is not cheap, but the USB 3.0 works flawlessly (which can't be assumed; ask me how I know) and the eSATA connection allows booting from the connected drive. Grant Bennet-Alder's point about HD speed is important to consider; in addition, the size of the individual files being backed up and where on the backup disk they're going will affect overall transfer speed. For example, using the USB 3.0 connection on that CalDigit card going to a Toshiba 3TB external, the transfer rate for a big file (say a virtual machine file) from an internal SSD boot drive was about 145 MB/sec while a bunch of little files might drop to 30 MB/sec and both rates decrease as an inner partition on the external is used. All told, a nearly 700 GB backup took under 1.5 hours. Using a HD as the source added almost an extra hour, though a WD external was used for that. Using a WD green drive plugged into this http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/FWU3ES2HDK/ with an eSATA connection took about 2.5 hours also, but that was bootable whereas the USB 3.0 connection is not.
Another point to consider is that USB 3.0 is ubiquitous on PC's now so there's lots of price competition for externals; not so much for eSATA externals. -
2010 Mac Pro with Apple RAID card - "Drive carrier 00:03 removed"
I've got a 2010 Mac Pro with the Apple RAID card and 4 internal identical Seagate ST32000641AS 2TB drives inside.
I've never had a problem with the RAID card (either battery or in operation) except for one thing:
Almost every time I shut the machine down (which I try to do as rarely as possible), it keeps losing Drive 3, the spare.
(See RAID Utility event log snippet below.)
[I wish I could understand why this Apple RAID card keeps losing the spare across power-cycles/reboots, but I digress.]
So I just adopted it as the spare and it spawns the rebuild and many hours later, everything's fine again.
... until the last time I rebooted (Jan. 2nd).
After the usual "I lost the spare" message upon login, it began the rebuild.
But this time, about 11 1/2 hours later the rebuild stopped and RAID Utility reported "Drive carrier 00:03 removed".
Bay 3 is now missing in the Controller view.
I powered off the system last night, and left it off overnight. Today I took all the drives out, blew the dust off and reseated them.
Same thing. Drive 3 is still missing, and now the rebuild task aborted.
The drive bay location shouldn't matter, right? Can I swap the Bay 3 drive with the Bay 4 drive?
I figure one of two things would happen:
(1) It will report Bay 3 as being there but Bay 4 as being missing, same situation as is now. Meaning the problem is in the Bay 3 spare drive.
(2) It will report Bay 3 as being missing (despite a 'good' drive being present) and Bay 4 will be the (unattached) spare, and the RAID set will be unviable. Meaning the problem is with the drive bay itself, not whatever drive is plugged into it.
If "Drive carrier removed" is trying to tell me the disk is bad, why do I not see any log messages about it? I suppose a spare that never gets used could go bad from lack of use, but ... no messages at all?
Hesitant to plunk down $160 on a new spare disk if the present one isn't actually dead ...

I was talking about this.
This looks like a RAID 5 setup without the parity to me. I would said it basically a RAID 0.
Also you metioned "I guess that previous spare must really have gone 'bad', despite having never been used! "
I wiped everything out, I selected the 3 disks and clicked on "Create RAID Set" with RAID5 selected and the "Use unassigned drives as spares" option checked. The 3rd disk has always been marked as the spare ever since then. You do not have a choice to create a "RAID5 setup without the parity". If I wanted a RAID0 I would have chosen a RAID0! raidutil now says

Every time the system would 'lose' Drive 3 on boot, I would just keep rebooting until it was 'found', and then manually re-assign the now-'floating' drive as the spare - and the RAID would rebuild.
There was never a problem until the day that prompted this post - when it would not find Drive 3 no matter what I did. I turned the Mac Pro off for several hours until the drives had all cooled down and it still did not find the drive. I left the machine on but unmounted the degraded volume until I got the new replacement drive.
I really don't understand what you are getting at. It's like you are trying to tell me I set it up as a 4-drive RAID5 with no parity(!) and that I was in grave danger because one of the disks was gone. The actual RAID contents (spread across Drives 1, 2 and 4) were never in danger, unless a 2nd disk had failed while the spare was not seen by the Apple RAID card. I wasn't too worried about that happening. -
2010 Mac Pro boot 10.8.5 with 2nd drive?
I have a 2010 Mac Pro at work and I'd like to match the OS and ProTools setup that I have at home (MBP with OS 10.8.5 and ProTools 10/11).
The Mac Pro is currently OS 10.7.4 and I'm using ProTools 9. OS 10.7.4 doesn't support ProTools 10/11.
Is it possible to add a drive to my Power Mac that boots in OS 10.8.5?
There are currently 2 drives in the Mac Pro slots. I'm assuming I can add a third and boot off it?
thanksYes, you can do that. You will need a Mountain Lion installer or be able to clone a running Mountain Lion system to the drive.
