you are saying that copying and accessing files is much faster over ethernet than firewire, total fail man, your ethernet runs @ 100Mbps and FireWire runs @ 400Mbps or 800Mbps if you use Firewire 800, firewire is much faster than ethernet unless you use Gigabit Ethernet..
can applesoldier buy descent furniture? he says that macs are stylish and shit but his computer is sitting in a piece of cardboard he got from a homeless person
You should consider getting a 4 terabyte external raid drive in stead of a mac pro with server on it, if you're just going to be using it for storage and a scratch disk.
Mzr, he's an idiot. And he doesn't have a hard drive capable of meeting the speeds of ethernet, anyways. How long have SSD drives been around? Maybe if you wanna run a "fast server" from home you should get a solid drive. Also, I've seen you test games like WoW on i7 macs. What the FUCK? WoW can run 100% on a pentium d 820, let alone an i7. You don't know shit.
You have a sever no you dont a server cost 100,000 and up you dont have that much money and a server is not setup on a computer it is setup on panels. Can you give me a defishion of a server.
How exactly is Ethernet faster than firewire? I mean it's not like you have a 800MB/s router/switch. The speed of the drive does not necessarily matter since it's mostly the speed of internet transfer speed rather than the read/write of the hard drive.....
I imagine if anyone in Apple Soldier's family decided to buy a PC, he would react the same way an Islamic fudamentalist would when they found out their children were converting to Satanism...
Sorry, it just sounded funny. I use my PC cause I'm a gamer. I also do pentesting for work. So... I really have no use for a Mac really... I guess it works out for you cause your profession. I don't think it makes it the "best."
The big reason I used a mac in my DJ/Recording setup cause no matter what fan's I'd use or what passive cooling I'd use. The mac had no electrical noise in the background.. which is a big deal in recording.
its funny how this redneck never replies to comments, he's either embarrassed at how much of an asshole he sounds like, or hes too busy sucking on steve jobs' balls while racing a slow car
I Rather a Cheap pc then a mac that will make me broke... face it most people these days dont get money like that to but a high price computer thumbs up if u agree and thumbs down if u dont agree with me
@westpointe3 Yeah, I know, but it wasn't a wireless mouse so my guess is he was just using it to conserve batteries. In my opinion, apple mouses are better, but they're also really expensive. That HP mouse he has was probably like $20
hey fucktard eSATA is 3 gigabits while gigabit ethernet is exactly that 1 gigabit but you dipshit mac fanboys don't know shit about hardware but thats only to be expected cause afterall macs are for dumb fuck rednecks like you.
This is the same faggot who said i7's where "toys" in another video. It just goes just to show he doesn't know his shit, just talking crap to do whatever he can to try prove windows based systems are inferior.
esata is considerably faster than ethernet. Also, using the Mac pro offers no performance benefit at all, you'll get the same speed using a laptop as a server (everything has gigabit ethernet). And the ethernet transfer speed isn't going to take advantage of the 10000rpm drive at all. In other words, your setup is a massive waste of power and resources, you'd get better performance having a sata/esata drive in your iMac and sharing it via ethernet to other computers on the network.
some days i get bored yes and i watch videos like this to pas the time but this guys a loser he loves mac so much sounds like a lozer to have no gf stays home masterbating to his computer cuz he has nothing better to do and then convince you windows sucks when really macs sucks but there just for looks! anyways ima stop hating now and get on with my life
I heard u saying in a video once, that u thought that ur precious mac pro was so beautifull and that a pc can/will never be so beautiful from the inside and outside. But why the FUCK, did u put ur mac pro behind ur freaking desk so nobody can see it? U see, nobody cares about the look of a computer its just all about how powerful and fast it is.
Why not just get and a Network Storage (NAS) 6bay 1GB Ethernet install 6 sas or ultra 320 scsi15000k rmp drives into it i think i would be faster. and there is no need for the other computer so you can sell it
@mzr9mm Well but what if you have a Gb switch? Ethernet is way faster. And if 1 Gb isn't fast enough, just go get 10Gb ;-) Btw FW 800 is 800Mbit/s which is less than 1 Gbit/s ;-) Don't mix MB with Mbit.
I would recommend the bottom iMac over the HP Touchsmart unless you want a touchscreen. The screen is much nicer on the iMac. I would have definitely made the purchase if they would have had a Quad option on that model for a reasonable price.
@tfinder Good answer but whats better an imac or HP pavilion elite with an i7 processor,NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260, 1.8gb video memory, 1tb hard drive, 9gb system memory for 1,279.99 at best buy?
You ask the right question because I've been trying to decide over the HP Elite HP180t or the i7 Imac. I would choose the iMac i7 with the 27" screen easily if it wouldn't cost another $1,000 to do so. The 21.5" Macs are nice but don't interest me because I have a Core 2 Duo I built two years ago that has that speed. If you are looking at the 21.5" iMac's then do you want to pay the same for Core 2 Duo(iMac) as an i7(HP)? If you aren't going to heavy proc work then it may be fine.
I finally went with the HP Elite 180t after months of pondering over that and the 27" iMac. I have been really happy with it as it has been very stable, fast, and quiet. I would recommend it.
I wouldn't argue that the display is very impressive and it may be the only LED display in that resolution. However, there have been a few 30" LCD displays at 2650x1600 for a couple of years. LED is nice but I'm very happy with my old LCD monitors and wouldn't pay a big difference to move to LED.
why waste money on a cinema display for something you use just to store files ?
does the imac not have an input port on the back, i have no idea what im talking about in this sense, is there no way to connect your mac pro to your imac display rather than wasting around a thousand bucks on a cinema dsplay?
You can connect an iMac to a Mac Pro to use as a display through MiniDisplay port to whatever you have as a dislay port on a Mac Pro without buying a display. i have a Mac Pro and iMac and it works fine.
What is the process that you transfer the media from your Mac Pro server to your iMac? Do you have to have a router? I would greatly appreciate a response. Thank you
This is why life was better before the internet went big. because all that happens when one person does/says something, someone else comes over and declares them as stupid and wrong, and then starts discriminating them. this isnt in defence of applesoldier. its in defence of everyones mental health.
your a fucking idiot. You obviously HAVE NO CLUE about editing. Gig ethernet is faster than my firewire. It gets 1000/mbs. And if you wasnt a noob you would know you NEVER set your scratch disk to your main OS. and if rendering over gig ethernet to a 10,000rpm HD is the fastest setup i have than im gonna use it. Yuor an idiot. Do a video and show us your server and editing software or are you just TALKING OUT YOR ASS because you read web articles. You ass talkers come out when you get jealous
of course raid's and rendering on your internal drive etc is faster but i dont have the equipment at the moment. and you never set your scratch disk to your internal drive. So the mac pro over gig ethernet is my best choice right now.I need big storage, not fast speeds. I need HUGE storage to serve my media from so I dont have to keep it on my main imac. I dont edit uncompressed HD at home so this is the best set up for me.
gigabit ethernet has latency, you lose packets when copying data, greater load on the cpu etc.
I never said I had a server, or edit video but I know networked attached scratch disks are much slower than a separate internal drive as a scratch disk.
Scratch disks are best with an internal drive, but you don't put it on your primary OS drive duh. save your money and screw Mac Osx server and buy a nas box for storage and use your mac pro in conjunction with your imac for node-based rendering.
didn't you say you're using a raptor? raptors are all about SPEED not HUGE storage. So stop saying you don't need speed. That's all you talked about in the video. You kept saying how "FAST" it is, and mentioned NOTHING about "huge storage". These are the facts. You got caught being a dumbass, so you changed your story from it being "so fast", to "i don't need speed" " I need HUGE storage". You're a clown, who doesn't know the difference between gigabytes and gigabits. You can't get around that.
Isn't that what you do? I mean correct me if I am wrong, but you tend to complain about a bunch of shit thats not Apple branded that all the information you have gotten was from articles and just talking out of your ass. I have (and others) have corrected mistakes you have made in a bunch of videos, and either you ignore them/never comment about it, or try to spin things into your favor.
if he calls you an idiot, you should be proud. he clearly doesn't know shit about shit. he got caught RED HANDED making shit up. he doesn't know the difference between bits and bites. Now, if this clown calls you a genius, you should be worried. but i take much pride in being called an idiot by him. it's what he does to ppl who know what they're talking about. he calls them idiots, then he block them. he's as lame as it gets, and as dumb as they come, truly.LMAO. "i have "gigaBYTE" ethernet" lol
Eric, how often do you talk out of your ass when you read some silly article, and misinterpret it? "Oh, Microsoft got sued for not getting a license to use XML!", Yeah, nice try.
@manjyoumethunder Microsoft did get sued, they got an injunction against the sale of Word and Office too. They had it overturned when they came to some settlement with the company that sued them.
Yes, Microsoft did get sued by i4i, for something related to Word. But it has nothing to do with licensing XML, as Eric continues to imply.
XML is an open format and is free for anyone to use. If you read the patent, you'll see it's on a very vague way to manipulate a document's metadata and content separately.
It was actually over the use of XML within Word. They hold a patent on the use of XML in some form that Microsoft infringed on. Quite ironic as a few days earlier Microsoft were granted a patent related to XML on somewhat similar grounds (goes to show how fucked up the US patent system is). XML is an open format, but this company (and Microsoft) seemed to have found a way to patent the use of it rather than the XML itself.
It's something like that, but not exactly. The patent is on a specific way of structuring and manipulating the document's content. But, as I said, it has nothing to do with XML itself, as it's an open format, and nobody "owns" it, as you'll find Eric claiming in previous videos.
In any case, as far as the patent itself goes it really is just a case of trolling, and this company probably had every intention to eventually sue Microsoft from day one. People do it all the time in the tech industry.
To be fair to this company they were actually producing products that depended on this patent, so it's not like most recent cases of this kind where they've either had no intention of using the patents in a product, or they shut up shop and went in search of people infringing it to sue as it makes them more money.
Hey, they have a shitty product. What else can I say. When you make a product that depends entirely on end users using a program that you did not design, you chose a pretty flaky business model.
You're STILL running around calling people idiots, when you got called out for not knowing the difference between bits and bytes, or gigabytes and gigabits? OMG! What the hell is wrong with you? If anyone is talking out of their ass, ITS YOU! It's been proven here, that you don't know BASIC things about computers and networking. You have NO RIGHT to call people "idiots" or "noobs", when you've been proven to lack fundamental knowledge about these things. "its gigabyte ethernet, 1000 megs/sec"LOL
i'm an IT student and professional and can say that apple soldier is wasting the use of a mac pro by just using it as a file server, but thats his choice, whatever
he is wrong in saying he has gigabyte ethernet, it's gigabit
he's an asshole because he continues to defend his wrong info in the comments
i can't say much for the improvement in speed as i dont know fcp at all though, but gigabit eithernet is fine for streaming, not sure about multi-level editing though
Wow emeek finally found a use for his mac pro as a glorified external harddrive that's really putting money to good use, he really is a sucker for being brainwashed into buying apple products for no good reason.
Eric, no disrespect, your great and all, but that setup is a mess! If you can treat yourself to a new $2200 iMac, then I think you should definitely be able to get yourself a new desk. Your setup is great, but I think I speak for all of us when I say we all would bow down to it more, if it were clean too!!!
I just don't see the difference of this "Server" and one of the home servers by HP.. besides the fact that this mac pro costs like 10x more money. Can anyone help me?
Well you see, the mac pro is expensive. You can get a cheap server from HP. In other words, Mac = Sux. I don't care how many bad comments i get on this, mac has ridiculous prices.
you all are a bunch of stupid noobs, including adobepc. he has all his data on the mac pro and his setup he is usinf FCP to manipulate his files on his mac pro, the raid0 config speeds everything up,, he is not constantly swapping large amounts of data between the imac and mac pro, final cut is delegating the work to the scratch disks. damn you all are stupid
I am aware of what a scratch disk is you idiot. As stated Applesoldier would be better off using an eSATA drive (not for iMacs) or even a fire wire 800 drive you fucking douhce bag. Use that Fire Wire 800 port your so proud of Applesoldier. As of now he is just wasting electicity and getting worse performance at the same time. There is no need to set his system up like it is.
Niether Fire Wire 800 or gigabite ethernet can edit more than one layer of uncompressed HD. SATA can!

come on man ... do you even know what the hell you are talking about ? Ethernet faster than FireWire ? c'mon now.
Ethernet is 100 MBs/s (even if you have gygabit Ethernet on both your machines it does not matter because you have a 100MB/s router/switch).
FireWire 400 / 800 = 400 / 800 MB/s.
So, please don't think to much of yourself and stop repeating the same thing 7 trilion times, it really is exhausting!

You ask the right question because I've been trying to decide over the HP Elite HP180t or the i7 Imac.

The 21.5" Macs are nice but don't interest me because I have a Core 2 Duo I built two years ago that has that speed. If you are looking at the 21.5" iMac's then do you want to pay the same for Core 2 Duo(iMac) as an i7(HP)? If you aren't going to heavy proc work then it may be fine.

I finally went with the HP Elite 180t after months of pondering over that and the 27" iMac. I have been really happy with it as it has been very stable, fast, and quiet. I would recommend it.

there is no display to match the 27 inch imac on the market. thats a fact. im not being an asshole but im telling u a fact
playoffplaya 2 years ago
I wouldn't argue that the display is very impressive and it may be the only LED display in that resolution. However, there have been a few 30" LCD displays at 2650x1600 for a couple of years. LED is nice but I'm very happy with my old LCD monitors and wouldn't pay a big difference to move to LED.

why waste money on a cinema display for something you use just to store files ?
does the imac not have an input port on the back, i have no idea what im talking about in this sense, is there no way to connect your mac pro to your imac display rather than wasting around a thousand bucks on a cinema dsplay?

@Caolan96 I'd actually like to know the same thing. But I don't think so.
JesseRyanOlver 2 years ago
You can connect an iMac to a Mac Pro to use as a display through MiniDisplay port to whatever you have as a dislay port on a Mac Pro without buying a display. i have a Mac Pro and iMac and it works fine.

you can also use your server via ethernet for logic pro , with the logic node .. gives extra cpu power as well as drive space ..

can you do a tutorial on how you made it a server
diehlken 2 years ago
all you have to do is turn on sharing them right click on the directory or path you want shared on the network and hit get info then checkmark share
or in windows, have sharing enabled, right click, hit properties, click the sharing tab, click advanced, and turn on sharing

scratch disk through gigabit ethernet LMAO OMGWTFBBQ
XXASCII808XX 2 years ago 2
your a fucking idiot. You obviously HAVE NO CLUE about editing. Gig ethernet is faster than my firewire. It gets 1000/mbs. And if you wasnt a noob you would know you NEVER set your scratch disk to your main OS. and if rendering over gig ethernet to a 10,000rpm HD is the fastest setup i have than im gonna use it. Yuor an idiot. Do a video and show us your server and editing software or are you just TALKING OUT YOR ASS because you read web articles. You ass talkers come out when you get jealous
AppleSoldier 2 years ago
of course raid's and rendering on your internal drive etc is faster but i dont have the equipment at the moment. and you never set your scratch disk to your internal drive. So the mac pro over gig ethernet is my best choice right now.I need big storage, not fast speeds. I need HUGE storage to serve my media from so I dont have to keep it on my main imac. I dont edit uncompressed HD at home so this is the best set up for me.
AppleSoldier 2 years ago
gigabit ethernet has latency, you lose packets when copying data, greater load on the cpu etc.
I never said I had a server, or edit video but I know networked attached scratch disks are much slower than a separate internal drive as a scratch disk.
Scratch disks are best with an internal drive, but you don't put it on your primary OS drive duh. save your money and screw Mac Osx server and buy a nas box for storage and use your mac pro in conjunction with your imac for node-based rendering.
XXASCII808XX 2 years ago 4
didn't you say you're using a raptor? raptors are all about SPEED not HUGE storage. So stop saying you don't need speed. That's all you talked about in the video. You kept saying how "FAST" it is, and mentioned NOTHING about "huge storage". These are the facts. You got caught being a dumbass, so you changed your story from it being "so fast", to "i don't need speed" " I need HUGE storage". You're a clown, who doesn't know the difference between gigabytes and gigabits. You can't get around that.
z4chc2 2 years ago
If the Gbit Ethernet is faster than your external FW-HDD it is likely because of one or both of these:
- You're using FW400
- The drives in the external disk is slow.
If you have a FW800 external disk, with a fast drive, you can get 800Mbit/s (100MB/s) out of it.
Even if Gigabit Ethernet states you get 1000Mbit/s, that is not the case IRL.
Besides, the load on the CPU is higher when using Ethernet than with Firewire.

"...because you read web articles..."
Isn't that what you do? I mean correct me if I am wrong, but you tend to complain about a bunch of shit thats not Apple branded that all the information you have gotten was from articles and just talking out of your ass. I have (and others) have corrected mistakes you have made in a bunch of videos, and either you ignore them/never comment about it, or try to spin things into your favor.

if he calls you an idiot, you should be proud. he clearly doesn't know shit about shit. he got caught RED HANDED making shit up. he doesn't know the difference between bits and bites. Now, if this clown calls you a genius, you should be worried. but i take much pride in being called an idiot by him. it's what he does to ppl who know what they're talking about. he calls them idiots, then he block them. he's as lame as it gets, and as dumb as they come, truly.LMAO. "i have "gigaBYTE" ethernet" lol
z4chc2 2 years ago
Eric, how often do you talk out of your ass when you read some silly article, and misinterpret it? "Oh, Microsoft got sued for not getting a license to use XML!", Yeah, nice try.
It's like the pot calling the kettle black.
manjyoumethunder 2 years ago 3
@manjyoumethunder Microsoft did get sued, they got an injunction against the sale of Word and Office too. They had it overturned when they came to some settlement with the company that sued them.
TalesOfWar 2 years ago
Yes, Microsoft did get sued by i4i, for something related to Word. But it has nothing to do with licensing XML, as Eric continues to imply.
XML is an open format and is free for anyone to use. If you read the patent, you'll see it's on a very vague way to manipulate a document's metadata and content separately.
Nobody has to "license" XML.
manjyoumethunder 2 years ago
It was actually over the use of XML within Word. They hold a patent on the use of XML in some form that Microsoft infringed on. Quite ironic as a few days earlier Microsoft were granted a patent related to XML on somewhat similar grounds (goes to show how fucked up the US patent system is). XML is an open format, but this company (and Microsoft) seemed to have found a way to patent the use of it rather than the XML itself.
TalesOfWar 2 years ago
It's something like that, but not exactly. The patent is on a specific way of structuring and manipulating the document's content. But, as I said, it has nothing to do with XML itself, as it's an open format, and nobody "owns" it, as you'll find Eric claiming in previous videos.
In any case, as far as the patent itself goes it really is just a case of trolling, and this company probably had every intention to eventually sue Microsoft from day one. People do it all the time in the tech industry.
manjyoumethunder 2 years ago
To be fair to this company they were actually producing products that depended on this patent, so it's not like most recent cases of this kind where they've either had no intention of using the patents in a product, or they shut up shop and went in search of people infringing it to sue as it makes them more money.
TalesOfWar 2 years ago
Hey, they have a shitty product. What else can I say. When you make a product that depends entirely on end users using a program that you did not design, you chose a pretty flaky business model.
manjyoumethunder 2 years ago
You're STILL running around calling people idiots, when you got called out for not knowing the difference between bits and bytes, or gigabytes and gigabits? OMG! What the hell is wrong with you? If anyone is talking out of their ass, ITS YOU! It's been proven here, that you don't know BASIC things about computers and networking. You have NO RIGHT to call people "idiots" or "noobs", when you've been proven to lack fundamental knowledge about these things. "its gigabyte ethernet, 1000 megs/sec"LOL

i'm an IT student and professional and can say that apple soldier is wasting the use of a mac pro by just using it as a file server, but thats his choice, whatever
he is wrong in saying he has gigabyte ethernet, it's gigabit
he's an asshole because he continues to defend his wrong info in the comments
i can't say much for the improvement in speed as i dont know fcp at all though, but gigabit eithernet is fine for streaming, not sure about multi-level editing though

macward66 2 years ago
I am aware of what a scratch disk is you idiot. As stated Applesoldier would be better off using an eSATA drive (not for iMacs) or even a fire wire 800 drive you fucking douhce bag. Use that Fire Wire 800 port your so proud of Applesoldier. As of now he is just wasting electicity and getting worse performance at the same time. There is no need to set his system up like it is.
Niether Fire Wire 800 or gigabite ethernet can edit more than one layer of uncompressed HD. SATA can!
