Yet another question about super raid - GS70

Yes, another question about Super Raid...I recently picked up the cheapest model of the GS70 on newegg which comes with 1 mSata SSD...just a mediocre one if I remember reading correctly.  I'm interested in using MSI's Super Raid once my warranty is over with and have been reading a couple posts here:
1. Walk through of how to reinstall OS
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=167198.msg1224063#msg1224063
2. I'll need a Super Raid card with links to get some, for about $100 each
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171722.msg1252847#msg1252847
3. I can't get Super Raid unless it originally came with it?
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171185.msg1249640#msg1249640
So what's the bottom line? Would I still be able to enable super raid in the future or am I SOL since it didn't come with it originally?
thanks!

The GT70 CAN come with an adapter that has 2 (on the older, GT70 0NX models) or 3 (on newer GT70 20X models) sockets for mSATA drives. It's an optional part, that takes place of the primary SATA drive in the notebook, and physically has a different part that connects to the motherboard. If it doesn't come with the SuperRaid adapter, then it just has support for a single 2.5" SATA drive.
The GS70 on the otherhand, has this built into the motherboard and there is no swapping it out for a normal 2.5" SATA drive. You can only use mSATA drives (on those ports). The GS70 is meant to be an ultrabook, and therefore does not have the same ability as the GT70 to house up to 2 full size 2.5" SATA drives.
That's really the main difference here. Without physically seeing a GT70 to see how the SuperRaid adapter works, it's slightly difficult to explain.
But in the end, I wouldn't worry about the SuperRaid....The GS70 should have support for Intel Raid Management Engine, in which case that's all you really need.

  • Yet another question about burners for iDVD 6

    It's not my intention to be redundant and the question about which DVD burners are compatible with the most recent release of iDVD has been asked a few times since iLife '06 was released at MacWorld last week. Yet, though Apple has announced it, why have they not posted a list of compatible devices?
    Or, is the onus on the manufacturers to certify that their burners are compatible with iDVD 6?
    In either case, has anyone determined if this information is available and, if so, where?
    Thanks.

    Or, is the onus on the manufacturers to certify that their burners are compatible with iDVD 6?
    Check with the support sections of the manufacturer's websites - after all, THEY are the ones trying to sell burners.

  • Yet another question about XServer

    Greetings
    Having installed an XVR100 graphics card in a Sunfire V240 and configured it as the default output device, I have managed to get XSun to start and then start X11VNC, however, while I get a nice, graphical Solaris screen, I dont get any login prompt. Just a mention that this is Solaris X11 v 6.6.2 and some console output showing the last "SU" login.
    Do I need to change the default tty somewhere?
    Additionally, I want to configure some type of desktop manager to work with X but cant find a way to run either KDM (no KDM config in evidence on system) or Gnome.
    Is Xsun what I need to be running on a sparc system or should I run Xorg?
    (Or is Xorg only for Solaris X86)
    Because the original build of this box was without a graphics card, I am having to do this by hand.
    Sorry for all the dumb questions but I've had a much easier time getting X to run on almost any other flavour of UNIX.
    Any help or suggestionswould be much-appreciated.

  • Yet another question about you tube/ios6

    Hi All
    Ok. I downloaded jasmin looks excellent and actually found my missing favorite videos. But, now they pop up that "you tube" has restricted them!!! yet they play on my imac.
    Does anyone know why you tube would suddenly restrict a perfectly harmless set of videos ( musical band, playing cover versions of U2) so nothing that would warrent restricting play. (only happens on the ipad)
    Why does the Ipad not play these videos. It plays others ok.
    Does anyone know how I can overcome this problem please?
    Thanks.
    Tricia.

  • Yet another question about 24-bits

    I have just combined an Echo Audio Indigo IO with Adobe Audition 1.5 in hopes to have a reasonably good laptop recorder. That need is met quite well.
    There are a number of discussions about bit depth in these forums. The answers become obfuscated by internal conversions done in audio cards, software, and Windows drivers. My current interest is simply how to get 24 bits of unadultered data from a D/A convertor to a data file using Audition. This data will be used to analyze pitch, frequency and intonation and any changes to the data will affect the results.
    Both the Indigo IO and Audition claim 24-bit support and I am convinced that both meet these claims fully. In spite of this there is no evidence that the card, Windows, and the software together will actually meet this claim without a 16-bit conversion along the line. What really matters is whether or not 24-bits of audio can travel from the card to the data file without any changes.
    Question 1: In Audition 1.5 for Windows under "Options/Device Properties/Wave In/Supported Formats" for the Indigo IO the highest density recording listed is 16-bit stereo at a 96K sample rate. What properties do other users find for their 24-bit cards?
    Question 2: The wave programming calls (waveInGetDevCaps) don't include capability definitions for anything beyond 16-bit depth at a 96K sample rate. Where in Windows is there evidence of true support for anything greater than 16-bit Audio?
    Question 3: What software is there that will go directly to the sound card or driver and write 24 unadultered bits to a file?

    I had trouble setting up my 24bit/96k ADAC to record 24-bit in audition. The best way to be sure audition is getting the 24bit samples as 24 bits is to check the status bar when recording. If it says 'Recording as 24 bit' then it's all setup right. If it says 'Recording as 16 bit' then the 32-bit float driver or the 24-bit driver reported an error and audition tried to fall back on the 16 bit version and succeeded. The problem I had was that the driver didn't handle 32-bit floats so it errored out and audition recorded as 16 bits. The only solution was to select the 24-bit option under "Options/Device Properties/Wave In(or out)".
    Just a note. A true 24-bit ADC will send 24 bits to the driver and the driver itself will convert the bits to whatever format it supports. If the driver is instructed to convert to normalized floats the software will simply do something like this:
    SampleOut = SampleIn / 8388608.0;
    This doesn't add any coloration to the audio because a float is really just a 24 bit integer with 8 bits added to tell the FPU where to put the decimal point. Converting down from 24-bits of course degrades quality and converting from 24 bits up to a true 32 bit integer would NOT add any quality to the audio. When stored in a file, 24 bits is 24 bits whether its a float or an integer.
    >Question 2:The wave programming calls (waveInGetDevCaps) don't include capability definitions for anything beyond 16-bit depth at a 96K sample rate. Where in Windows is there evidence of true support for anything greater than 16-bit Audio?
    The website showing waveInGetDevCaps function information doesn't show all the possible format tags or even the sample rates. It is only showing the most compatible forms for drivers. The WAVEFORMAT and WAVEFORMATEX structures used for the drivers are also used in the 'fmt ' chunk of RIFF WAVE files. I've written a lot of software for parallel use with audition using wave files and windows and I can say from experience that when recording 24 bits with audition you're getting the full 24 bits. If your driver truly supports 24 bit samples then audition will allow you to select the 24 bit samples option under "Options/Device Properties/Wave In(or out)" and audition will display 'Recording as 24-bits' when recording. Once recorded Audition no doubt converts ALL bit depths to its internal format which I believe is 32 (or 64) bit float, and if you don't process the file and wish to save as 24 bit integers then the samples saved will be exactly what the ADC sent to the driver.

  • Yet another question about installing ilife 06 with limited drive space

    I received iLife 2006 as a gift for my birthday. I am a happy user of most the iLife 2005 programs (except iDVD, which is useless on my machine with only a Combo drive). I am interested in making use of iWeb and the other improved features of iLife 2006.
    My problem is that my 40 GB drive is nearly full, with about 2 GB free. Of this, my iTunes library uses about 15 GB, and the IPhoto library takes another 2 GB or so. I do have a 60 GB iPod with about 25 GB free.
    I have read about complications with restoring the iTunes Library from the hidden folder on the iPod. But I wonder if the library could be more easily backed up to the iPod, temporarily deleted from my main hard drive, then restored after installing iLife 2006 (I have read that somewhat less than the full 10 GB is needed after install is complete).
    Alternatively, will the iLife 2006 installer allow me to install to the iPod as an external drive, from which I can make adjustments as needed?

    You can tell your wife that if you don't get an external hard drive to store your iTunes and iPhoto Library you are a prime target to lose your images and tunes.
    Yes, using iWeb you get a new url. I used Contribute to do the fiveafertfive.com site for my daughter's band.
    iWeb can create very nice pages and you can see many of them by visiting this link on the iWeb forums. It's eight pages long and lots of sites to look at.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1705138#1705138
    Unfortunatley, the ability to send albums directly to .mac is no more with iPhoto 6. You can only send them to iWeb to make your page. Then in iWeb you publish your page to your idisk in a different folder.

  • Yet another question about zone forwarding

    Hi guys!
    thanks for reading. I have a question related to create a new forward zone. I am not pretty sure if I have to use a forward zone
    or create a new IN-ADDR.ARPA forward zone.
    Now I have my DNS servers answering about my primary zone, let say mycompany.es. For any requisites related to my applications,
    I have to forward all dns queries related to, let say this domain: onedomaintoforward.com (and, all subdomains)
    to a different dns server located on a machine on the internet. The main reason for this is the application that use this domain
    works with a dedicated internet-line, so the dns queries must be resolved to point to the servers going throught this line,
    with specific IP routes, etc).
    So, for example, the query customerzone.cp.onedomaintoforward.com must be forwarded to this server (I have the IP address
    for this server).
    So, should I create a forward zone or a new in-addr.arpa forward zone? I am confused. I think that its the second one,
    mainly because I set up a new forward zone but its seems that it doesnt works.
    Could anyone give me a pointer to this?
    Thank you so much!

    So would I be correct that this domain has public IPs related to it, but
    that from where you stand, you are to point to a different/private set of
    IPs? Or is it that those public IPs need to be separately routed?
    Either of those options could be handled with some static IP routes in
    the right places.
    Are the public DNS Name Servers for that domain the same ones you need to
    point to? At the same IP addresses?
    Which OS is your DNS host running? NetWare of what version or OES of what
    version?
    One thought might be for you to set your DNS server as a secondary of
    those primaries and do zone transfers.

  • Yet another question about transfer from iPod to PC

    I realize there have been a couple similar questions regarding this, recently, and I have read the answers and the guides within help. The trouble is this: My hard drive on my PC died!! I had to replace it. So, the new hard drive has no music library at all. I need the new library to match what's on the ipod, for further music downloads and automatically updating the ipod, etc.
    I followed directions in "Copy Music to New Computer". At the point where it says to go to My Computer and double click on the iPod (while it's connected, of course) and you're supposed to see a few folders here. One of them should be a folder called iTunes. You're supposed to be able to drag it into your My Music iTunes folder. However, that folder does not appear!! Only Calendars, Contacts, and Notes folders are there. There definitley is music on the ipod. So, why is there no folder there? I can't figure any other way to get this stuff back in my library.
    Please help.
    I could re-import most of it ,I guess, and start over, but if I can't get the stuff that's only on my ipod, the library still won't match. And next time I download new music, and iPod updates itself from my library, I'll lose stuff.
    Any ideas?

    Try this.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.

  • Yet another question about exporting and video quality

    Kind people,
    I know this question has been asked many, many times, and I have searched and read up of the topic, but I would also like to ask it.
    I shot my video on a Canon Vixia HF10, downloaded it to Final Cut Express to edit, exported it as Quick Time Movie, dropped it in iDVD, then played it on my TV and the quality was…..not good. The video was a little fuzzy and there were ghosts. Are there any settings I should go back and check in iDVD.
    Wolfgang

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    What is the format recorded by this camera?
    How did you capture/ingest your video material in FCE?
    What was your sequence format in timeline?
    How did you export your sequence (specify exact steps, menus and command)?
    What was your iDVD project settings?
    What was the iDVD quality setting?
    Did you monitor your DVD on computer screen or TV set?

  • Yet another question about AC adapters

    Hi,
    My previous ipod was my brother's old 3G ipod. I only had it for a week before it got stolen, so I don't know much about ipods.
    I just bought a 30GB 5G ipod. I have the old AC charger from my brother's unit. You plug the ipod into a little stand and then plug the stand/adapter into the wall.
    Is this ok to use with the new ipod?
    I know other people have asked this, but I wasn't totally clear which adapters they were talking about.
    Thanks so much.

    You can definitely use the 3G AC adapter with your iPod.
    However-->You will not be able to use the FireWire cable for anything other than charging the iPod.
    The 5th Generation iPod can't connect to a computer via a FireWire cable.

  • Yet another question about SLP in oes11

    Hi there
    We are in the process of moving all of our servers from oes2 to oes11. Let say that I have
    assumed this network from the old administrator, and Im not pretty sure about the SLP config
    (also Im newbie about netware services, like SLP).
    Few months ago we have a few netware servers and I think that SLP was installed on one
    of these servers. But now, all netware servers are shutdown and we have only Sles and oes2/oes11
    boxes. So I guess that, SLP is not running in our network, but its weird because only two computers
    presented problems to login (classic error "Tree not found"). In our network it seems that we dont have
    problems to login and use ncp services in the workstations. But, in a workstation, if i write slpinfo /A
    I dont see anything except the DEFAULT scope. It think this is bad.
    So, I dont know what happen, exactly. I would like to know how to recheck the slp status
    in my network. I think that the oes11 boxes (we have four) and 2 oes2 boxes are using default
    settings for SLP (use multicast for find slp DAs), so I think that I need a server to act
    as DA and configure multicast on this server? So the rest of the oes11/oes2 boxes can register
    their services on this DA. Right? I think that I dont have any DA in my server networks.
    But, Im confused because if I write
    slptool findsrvs service:service-agent
    on any of my linux servers, I see a lot of servers like (for example)
    service:service-agent://10.10.0.205,65535
    service:service-agent://10.10.0.242,65535
    So, what that means exactly?
    Thank you so much

    So, on a windows 7 workstation typing slpinfo /a you should see: NOTE: The early Win7 Novell Clients cannot perform the slpinfo utility. Make sure you have an updated Novell Client for Win7.
    1) The directory agents (SLPDA) and their IP addresses
    2) The scope list with the name of your scope
    3) Your tree name and IP addresses of the servers holding replicas
    4) A list of servers in your network configured with SLP
    If you are not seeing any of this maybe your tree is being advertised via DNS.

    This is normal. There are in act two fans in the MBP, one for the CPU and the other for the GPU and when running a 3D game like WoW the GPU is run at maximum causing it to be as hot as it's going to get. Without some external cooling solution you can't really do much about it.

  • Yet another question about image resolution

    Well, I tried to look this one up but I could not find what I was looking for.
    I am trying to make an image that will fill a screen completely. I thought that the correct size would be 740x480. What happens though is that the vertical size is too small. In other words, the top or bottom has blank space and so it is not filling the screen. Am I using the wrong image size? Doesn't my tv display in 740x480? Where have I gone wrong?
    Thanks for your help!
    -not_store-bot

    720x480 is the NTSC non-square pixel DV video image size.
    For NTSC still digital images you need use a 4:3 aspect ratio like 640x480 (or 720x540)

    null

    Hello "null",
    please check if the data cable to the DVD is properly attached.
    Some early versions of the Toshiba DVD drive won't boot from a DVD due to outdated firmware (1007).
    Review the version (either 1007 or 1009) in the probe-scsi-all output. If the drive currently uses the old firmware,
    the fix is to update the drives firmware (1009), which indeed requires an installed Solaris. The updated DVD firmware is contained in patch 111649-02.
    If the firmware is uptodate and you have access to CD media (Solaris 9 or 10) you can the try to boot from
    Solaris 9 Software 1 or Solaris 10 CD 1.
    If no CD media is available, just download the image file of CD 1 from the download center and burn a CD (slower burning speed recommended). Boot from this CD into single-user mode (boot cdrom -s). If this succeeds, download the other CD images and use them to install Solaris.
    As a replacement drive any SCSI DVD that can be jumpered to 2048 byte blocksize works.
