umm this has been available on both pc and mac for like ages ... oh ya by the way i have 2tb hdds in raid 0 ... and on my old ass computer i have 2 500gb hdds in raid 0
I have my 1200 dollar PC with 4 drives in it also. I have a could have a RAID 5 setup on 3 of the drives. It's not that big of a deal. I think your beef is with M$ vs Apple. For your pleasure I'll play along and tell you why M$ is better. (BTW, Linux FTW).
M$ service packs do not cost $199.00
Macs cost far more for the same quality of a PC build
Very little games are designed for the Macs although they booster it in their ads
For the longest time two buttons was too complicated
Cutting edge software/hardware is for the PC environment
Apple could not keep up and switched to Intel
When was the last time someone custom built a MAC?
"macs cant get viruses" I dont know how many times I've heard that lame line.
Bottom line? Mac users overpay, do not receive as much in performance, have a limited 90 day warranty, must pay an excessive amount to extend the warranty, are not as versed as a PC user about their computer, and have limited options...should i stop now?
@Owminator that is not the point the point is if he has a hard drive fail he can replace it and still have all his work ... but he is also a idiot because pcs have had this for ages so this was a useless video ...
hot swapping has been around for ages. Jesus Christ you fuckin bitch. You are not even using raid. I dare u to raid 5 those three goddamn Seagate and pull all of the three out and put new western digital or other manufacturer drives (so we know its new and not just the goddamn three drives you pulled out) and see what happens. Dip Shit
@fatleader sorry let me clarify. PC isnt Shit its fine, the software it runs is CRAP, but i feel stupid buying a fucking 1500 dollar piece of welded metal and plastic together, i cant upgrade anything, when i could have built on myself for 500, got the OS and installed it my self, i would have spare money to upgrade
@MAChelp32 i hate you macnoobs you all blah blah blah asses get a life eSATA is what it is called on this video he doesn't know about it cause macs suck big time.
Wow this actually works on my Mac Pro! At first when I tried it I thought my 3TB RAIDs would not mount but when I pulled one out it didn't do anything and rebuilt after I put back in! ; Thanx! :D
Pulling out one drive in a RAID array and and sticking the same drive back in is not rebuilding a new RAID array. Try pulling out your RAIDed drives and then sticking in 3 totaly different drives. OS X might be able to rebuild a new array but Applessoldier did not do it in this video.
Is your RAID via Apple's RAID card, some third party card, or just software?
Personally I'd avoid the hotswap as there are no inrush current limiters on the motherboard - possibility of killing some hardware. At least in the 2009 models.
@suprakilla2JZ Hotswapping SATA on an unmodified Windows install (except Windows Server) will cause the system to hang, even if it's not the boot volume. Hotswapping is supported by Unix-like OSes (like Mac OS X and Linux) by default. I can post a vid of this.
So by removing one your just increasing the likliness of losing data, so what your showing is a flaw in OSX, Windows may not let you do thins because its unsafe, and i would certainly never do it even if my OS offered the ability.
Anyway, I'm not wasting my time with a 25 year old know-it-all-who-knows-nothing-at-all. I have better things to do than waste my time with a half-truther and a bullshitter.
I reign supreme again. Enjoy your substandard, overpriced Mac.
I never said I knew it all, And you are clearly are too thick to realise how little you actually know, But since I am talking to a Brick wall, like all PC gamers you just another Cunt that can't see fact over his own stubborn pride.
Enjoy your old Substandard Harpertown machine mate because you know absolutely nothing about Hardware.
So don't waste everyones time mate, because I stated fact that is true, and you have stated nothing but bullshit.
The truth hurts. It's alright. While my computer blows yours out of the water (and will for the next 4 years) yours will be stuttering and suffering on anything except video ripping and encoding.
Problem is, you paid a stupid amount of cash to rip/encode 2 minutes faster than my machine.
Meanwhile, my machine does it all. At 60 FPS. With no slowdown. And no lag. And TONS of expandability.
For a price tag that makes you choke in jealousy. Bye bye!
hahahaha yeah your just too thick mate, you didn't even read my comments (or you don't understand them one of the two), you still think your computer is actually good?? I REPEAT one word HARPERTOWN how about you look that up, then look up Nahalem, Secondly lets see your geekbench score. baahahahahahahaha, don;'t worry mate one day some one will show you in real life how much of an idiot you are, and how silly you sound.
NO PROOF, No Videos posted all you have been telling is utter bullshit
Once again I must EDUCATE silly, irrelevant Mac fanboys who don't have a clue what they're talking about. To even SUGGEST that Macs are better at specific things is LUDICROUS. Mac either has equal hardware, or LESSER hardware......not superior hardware....EVER! To even SUGGEST that a Mac computer with a 256MB or 512MB card (designed specifically for gaming, for Christ's sake) are going to outperform an actual, real industrial computer set up to do professional work.
I never said anything about Macs being better at anything. don't put words in my mouth mate.
Wheither or not you use a Mac or a PC doesn't defer from the fact that both Mac OS and Windows can do the same things, its merely a choice on what product you use. And since you have never used a mac your self you can't compare. AGAIN i repeat Mac's are not designed for gaming, a mac pro is purely for Professional work, and can be used for any field because it can run both windows or Mac OS.
Are you kidding me? you have dual E5420 xeons, Harpertown Xeons are old.. Your comparing your 8 core with Dual Nahalem Xeon X5550 8 core with your Harpertown E5420's xeon. HarperTown Xeons don't even have Hyper threading on every core like Nahalem has.
The only advantage you have over a 2009 8 core Mac Pro is the dual GTX 295 video cards in sli.
Every thing else the 2009 8 core Mac Pro does better.
I would be interested to see what you Geekbench score would be.
FUNNIEST thing I've heard all day! thanks for the laugh!
Again, the difference between the Mac Pro and my machine is that my machine slaughters it outright. The Mac Pro BEGINS close to what I paid for my system. Try putting two GTX295s in there and see where things go.
And while you're at it, up the RAM. Apple assrapes the consumer foolish even to try.
You're bitching about HYPERTHREADING??? What is this........2001?
and there we have it.. you have no clue what you are talking about
Heres the difference between your Harpertown 8 core and my Nahelem 8 Core
when you open up your task manager you see 8 cores
if I boot up windows and do the same thing I see 16 cores. HyperTheading on EVERY CORE is Latest Tech on Multicore CPUs, and Clearly you don't know this.
Secondly Mac Pros support 32gb ECC DDR 3 RAM I repeat ECC DDR 3 ram not Standard Home user DDR 3 ram.
So you telling me that coperations that buy $10,000 or $20,000, Servers and Professional workstations are idiots? wow your calling the millions of people in corperations that buy server grade equiptment idiots?? lol thats laughable.
Server Grade equiptment will always cost more than Gaming rigs.
A Gamming Machine is built for gammng and that is all its primary purpose is, Professional workstations, are mainly for 3d modeling and video editing Mac pros run a completely native 64 bit platform
As for Mac Pros......they aren't professional workstations, my friend. The technology in the machines is absolute proof of that.
Anyone running 3D apps like 3DSMax or Maya relies on real graphics cards to do the work.....not fucking budget gaming cards like GT120s and 9600s that Macs are so fond of! They use FireGL cards, or industry-specific graphic workhorses.
Once again, you prove your ineptitude. It doesn't matter if the Mac Pro runs in 64-Bit mode. Their Photoshop DOESN'T!
lol you run Harpertown Xeons and you think its the latest in Technology... so don't make me laugh you know nothing about what technologies are in the mac pro.
you do know the Mac Pro uses Quadro video cards right? you can get those and they are professional video cards.
There are companies that use Macs for CAD and Riviet it may be on windows but its still mac hardware.
For the Mac Pro to match my specs (without GFX cards) you're looking at $3950 CDN, and that's WITHOUT taxes. Now go out and buy two GTX295's, and that'll run the Mac user about $1400.....WITHOUT Tax. Grand total?
Seriously, just end it. You're bringing a butterknife to a machine gun fight. You can't win. I'm going to leave you to your delusions, whilst I enjoy what is obviously the most POWERFUL computer out of the two contestants we're arguing about.
Actually, there's no argument. Silly me! I just have the more powerful system! *Sigh*...the things I must learn to live with
Mate you have no clue, and the funny thing is your too thick to realise, read my comments do your research. and you will see how silly you sound.
I am stating pure fact I have system test videos of my mac pro, to proove it. you need to do some benchmarking and you will see just how much power you have in your computer.
Again the only power you have is your 2 gtx 285s. nothing else in your system is any good. in comparison to a 8 core 2009 mac pro.
ok? thank you for that completely random fact of your being an Art director, that just tells me you have nothing to do with IT and have never worked in IT, that explains a lot then....
Now let me take you to school old man, your talking to a Developer that has programmed on Windows platforms for 6 years, and you as an Art director don't know squat about IT. All your doing is regurgitating info that some guy must have told you, because at the moment your are not wowing me with anything.
right then you should know that people do pay 10,000 to 20,000 even more for server grade equiptment. coming from the 80s using, "Basic" you should know that back then server grade equiptment was even more 30k plus.
Its amazing you have done all this as an ART DIRECTOR. only an idiot would make a statement saying they can make windows run Flawlessly. Show a video of you doing it,.Unless you have IT qualifications and have worked in the IT industry you know basic knowledge
at least this video isn't worse than "Can you do this on a PC?" video. its people like "AppleSoldier" that make mac users look bad. Just looking at his username shows that he's a fanboy--a person that nobody likes.
im sorry applesoldier but a full tower alienware which is the most powerfull computer in the world has 10 hot swappable raid drives, 10terabites so sorry you fail every pc thats not mac can do it fail
Why the eff would you need 10 terabites???? Unless you watch and download alot of porn, movies, music, and a hell lot of programs and also a whole lot of other shit. And then you realize you only wasted 1 terabite. That's wasted money right there.
Hard Drave raid slats Raid slats. Now that I laugh... Is the data built on the raid not available now? Because every files were split into the 3 hard drive to faster access... so remove one, u remove 1/3 of ur file... Maybe Im wrong, im not a Computer expert ^^
No dude, Applesoldier blocks my video responses and that is why I have blocked him. The block will end friday. Has had blocked my video for mothns. He only let a few slip by. He will edit the crap out of my videoe and then let it pass rather than passing them all. He is the coward, not me.
Why would I need to hot-swap hard drives in a workstation? I mainly use laptops, but at my main PC workstation. If something went wrong with a part, I'd shut it off. Why keep it running? It's not like a workstation should provide services to other users on a network.
On a server, I can see that. But why would you want to use a Mac Pro as a server? I think both Windows Server and Linux are better suited to most tasks for the price. And you can use the extra money for other stuff.
What is this retard talking about?, most work stations (Mac Pro counterparts) can do this, and yes, it requieres additional hardware. In the PC world, options are vast and when we usually do that with servers, not workstations although you can do it, even install a raid controller on your "basic" PC and do it. iMac (counter part for the 1000 dollars PC) can't even use RAID, don't even have SSD options neither to compensate...
Any way, this guy is a total ignorant and what I dislike is that there is people who believes his lies with closed eyes. Don't be one of them HighPoint RocketRAID 2300 PCI Express SATA II Controller Card this card cost less than 150 dollars, can do the same stuff he is showing on his video and supports all features he is talking about. How much will it cost to add that to a stock Mac Pro? 600+?
I don't appreciate the offensive material in the beginning of the video. And you're using raid 5, this allows for a hdd to become corrupt and a raid to still work. This has been done on pc/servers for quite some time. There is no difference between a pc and a mac other than an os.
Do you have a RAID-card, or do you use software RAID in OS X?
If you use the software RAID, I've got a challenge....
I'll build a Custom i7, matching the specs of the Mac Pro (exept number of FW800 ports) for under $1000.
And if it benchmarks the same as the current Mac Pro Quad (base-model for $2499) AND it can do the same thing you did in this vid, you have to make a vid where you say what I tell you to say.
Just need some cash, and then I'm up for it if you are. :)
professionals see the value of this design, idiots playing Halo 3 don't.
Windows users are morons who waste money on graphics cards so they can play some shooter game until their last brain cell finally gives out. Then they get hauled off to the insane asylum.
I'm a Windows user. I mainly do support for other clients.
In my limited spare time using a PC, I am currently learning Perl.
PC gamers are a small group of Windows users, just as Mac fanboys who worship Steve Jobs are not a very big segment of the Mac market. Unfortunately, it is the fanboys who have to be unprofessional and make most Mac people look stupid.
Seriously I would be embarrassed to own a mac knowing that this douche owns one. How about you just use your mac instead of using it as a tool to compare against pc's.
@FireForFreezing yah I mean seriously I mean I love watching this guy and I am a mac fan but I mean just use the damn computer for whatever you like, be it gaming, video, 3-d, audio, porn, etc, etc, etc... I mean yah macs are better and shit but I'm so over the whole fuckin' battle blah blah blah better better blah. Fuck, who cares.
That is probably the LEAST USEFUL feature of a mac computer. Seriously, I see the advantages of owning a computer like that but "hot swappable raid"? How often would you use this? Adding a feature like this when writing drivers for the OS would only increase the complexity of the programming AND allow the possibility for more bugs.
omg emeek RAID IS RAID why do you thing the corsair obsidion 800 case HAS HOT SWAPPABLE BAYS BUILD IN if i had 3 hdds i would prove it to you but i dont so yea =P
A Mac Pro need a RAID card upgrade in order to do hardware RAID. Watch my video or just check the Apple website. In this video we can't see if Eric has a RAID card of not. If he doesn't then we know it's just software raid vice hardware raid which a workstation level mobo should have from the get go. Apple is the only major OEM that charges $700 just to have any level of hardware raid-WTF.
You don't need the RAID card with the Mac Pro if you just want RAID 0/1. Obviously, if you want a sophisticated array (RAID 5, 10), you will need the RAID card, since the parity calculations aren't offloaded to the processor (which would affect reliability.)
Mac's are nice and work fine just as well as a PC but they are overpriced for what they are and you all know it. If you like them and don't mind paying twice as much then fine but the other 90% of the world cant be wrong. They are the most used in all areas and it will never change no matter how much you Mac fanboys shout about it. So do sumink better with your time instead of making pointless video's trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
Assholesoldier pulled out the drive and slid it back in. That is not hot swapping since he did not actualy insert more drives in place of the ones he pulled out. What good would hot swapping be if you can only pull out the drive that is already in there an put it back in? I will do an ownage video soon.
right, but if he replaced it with an empty drive, the array would automatically rebuild. onboard RAID controllers won't do this - you'd have to reboot and do it through the storage manager.
If his RAID system has 3 drives striped in a 0 RAID configuration and one drive went bad he could not rebuild it. That is the risk of a striped RAID set up. He has 3 drives so he could not stripe two and mirror two. His sytem is not rebuilding the RAID in this video. Applesoldier is an idiot and I will prove it.
RAID 0 is a type of RAID aray although there is no data reduntancy. Video editor use it for the performance gain. I have used a striped RAID system at times but I am not using one at the moment.
RAID means "redundant array of independent disks" - RAID 0 has no redundancy - if one disk fails, the array fails, and therefore it isn't a true RAID level.
You just repeated what I said dude. It does not have data redundtancy but it does span data over several drives hence forth it is considered a type of RAID array. What else would you call it?
Fact: You can build a PC that will get slower than a Mac in a month time if used extensively, plus it will be extremely vulnerable to malware and very unstable. You get what you pay for.
Except that there isn't really any good av anymore nowadays.
Actually, Windows is unstable for me BECAUSE I know how to use a computer, extensively. All of you who don't agree with that just don't know a fuck about Windows at ALL
Our servers do this, and as someone else has pointed out I thought that SATA was hot swappable anyway. I have 6 configured at work in a 3.7TB RAID configuration. This is old news Eric, Servers are PCs and these have been doing this for YEARS. Sorry...no smiley this time :(
It's called raid 5 and any computer can do it, be it Mac, PC or Lunix. Granted raid 5 is a luxury and you would need a decent raid card for a PC to do (some Motherboards have it integrated) yes it is a feature you get with a $2500 machine, but it can be done for less. It's not a defining feature of the Mac Pro
AHCI, coupled with sata hdd's provide hot swappable raid enviroment in a 300$ system. Only difference from h/w raid controller is that it doesn't autobuild (big deal).So to answer your question. YES IT DOES, OUT OF THE BOX
the thing is, all apple users think that they are superior towards PC users... although Microsoft has a LOT more money than Apple, and the population of the world generally have PC's over Mac. So shut up you stupid apple fanboy...
umm this has been available on both pc and mac for like ages ... oh ya by the way i have 2tb hdds in raid 0 ... and on my old ass computer i have 2 500gb hdds in raid 0
SuperMuddiger 5 days ago
OSX doesn't support RAID 5, so he's using JBOD. Which means his RAID array doesn't get "rebuilt" if he loses a drive. He loses everything.
Unless he's using the Apple RAID card... but then any computer with a RAID card (or most PC motherboards through software even) can use RAID 5.

There is no point in doing what you did in the video.
If you left 1 hard disk out for a week and the 1 drive failed in the MAC, you lose all the new data written in the week.
Or if you put the disk back in and one of the drives fail before the RAID data is rebuilt then you lose all the data that hasnt been updated.

I REPEAT one word HARPERTOWN how about you look that up, then look up Nahalem, Secondly lets see your geekbench score. baahahahahahahaha, don;'t worry mate one day some one will show you in real life how much of an idiot you are, and how silly you sound.
NO PROOF, No Videos posted all you have been telling is utter bullshit

Once again I must EDUCATE silly, irrelevant Mac fanboys who don't have a clue what they're talking about. To even SUGGEST that Macs are better at specific things is LUDICROUS. Mac either has equal hardware, or LESSER hardware......not superior hardware....EVER! To even SUGGEST that a Mac computer with a 256MB or 512MB card (designed specifically for gaming, for Christ's sake) are going to outperform an actual, real industrial computer set up to do professional work.
Silliness to the max.
MaximusCerberus 2 years ago
I never said anything about Macs being better at anything. don't put words in my mouth mate.
Wheither or not you use a Mac or a PC doesn't defer from the fact that both Mac OS and Windows can do the same things, its merely a choice on what product you use. And since you have never used a mac your self you can't compare. AGAIN i repeat Mac's are not designed for gaming, a mac pro is purely for Professional work, and can be used for any field because it can run both windows or Mac OS.

Really? care to show us how much you have over clocked it. and Show us your spec's
I wanna see your Mac Pro replica that you claim to be better than the current 8 core mac pro.
pkerry12 2 years ago
@pkerry12
First off, I have no need to overclock a dual Quad-Core system with the kind of specs that I run, but very well.
Intel S5000PAL dual socket MB
Dual E5420 Quad-Cores
Dual-linked GTX295s (1792 MB per card)
X-Fi Fatal1ty sound card
12 GB of RAM (which I plan to inrease)
2TB hard drive space
Blu-Ray Drive
Happy now?
MaximusCerberus 2 years ago
Are you kidding me? you have dual E5420 xeons, Harpertown Xeons are old.. Your comparing your 8 core with Dual Nahalem Xeon X5550 8 core with your Harpertown E5420's xeon. HarperTown Xeons don't even have Hyper threading on every core like Nahalem has.
The only advantage you have over a 2009 8 core Mac Pro is the dual GTX 295 video cards in sli.
Every thing else the 2009 8 core Mac Pro does better.
I would be interested to see what you Geekbench score would be.
pkerry12 2 years ago
PFFFFFFFFFFfffhahahahahahaha!!!
FUNNIEST thing I've heard all day! thanks for the laugh!
Again, the difference between the Mac Pro and my machine is that my machine slaughters it outright. The Mac Pro BEGINS close to what I paid for my system. Try putting two GTX295s in there and see where things go.
And while you're at it, up the RAM. Apple assrapes the consumer foolish even to try.
You're bitching about HYPERTHREADING??? What is this........2001?
You're ridiculous!
MaximusCerberus 2 years ago
and there we have it.. you have no clue what you are talking about
Heres the difference between your Harpertown 8 core and my Nahelem 8 Core
when you open up your task manager you see 8 cores
if I boot up windows and do the same thing I see 16 cores. HyperTheading on EVERY CORE is Latest Tech on Multicore CPUs, and Clearly you don't know this.
Secondly Mac Pros support 32gb ECC DDR 3 RAM I repeat ECC DDR 3 ram not Standard Home user DDR 3 ram.
and FYI $1500 AUD gets me 32gb ECC ddr 3 ram.

My machine does it all. Oh...and it's insanely powerful.

The mac pro is for Video editing, 3d modeling, Audio editing etc.
The Mac pro is not a Gaming Machine its a professional workstation.
And again if you even looked at any of my videos demostrating Call of duty 4 I get 80FPS Maxed out at 2560x1600 res on an GTX 285.
So I don't know where your getting 30fps from? must be the quad core with the gt 120.
Again your Xeon processors are old harpertown they are not Nahelem you would not beat a Mac Pro in a CPU test.
How about you study up old man.
pkerry12 2 years ago
And you can do the SAME THING on a PC, my friend! Only difference is, you'll pay MORE for it.
Anybody who pays gaming-level prices for a non-gaming PC is an idiot. My PC does the same shit as a Mac does, and it's either just as good, or better.

Server Grade equiptment will always cost more than Gaming rigs.
A Gamming Machine is built for gammng and that is all its primary purpose is, Professional workstations, are mainly for 3d modeling and video editing Mac pros run a completely native 64 bit platform
pkerry12 2 years ago
@pkerry12
As for Mac Pros......they aren't professional workstations, my friend. The technology in the machines is absolute proof of that.
Anyone running 3D apps like 3DSMax or Maya relies on real graphics cards to do the work.....not fucking budget gaming cards like GT120s and 9600s that Macs are so fond of! They use FireGL cards, or industry-specific graphic workhorses.
Once again, you prove your ineptitude. It doesn't matter if the Mac Pro runs in 64-Bit mode. Their Photoshop DOESN'T!

lol you run Harpertown Xeons and you think its the latest in Technology... so don't make me laugh you know nothing about what technologies are in the mac pro.
you do know the Mac Pro uses Quadro video cards right? you can get those and they are professional video cards.
There are companies that use Macs for CAD and Riviet it may be on windows but its still mac hardware.
pkerry12 2 years ago
Actually, wait, I'll do it for you.
For the Mac Pro to match my specs (without GFX cards) you're looking at $3950 CDN, and that's WITHOUT taxes. Now go out and buy two GTX295's, and that'll run the Mac user about $1400.....WITHOUT Tax. Grand total?
$5700 with taxes in.
My machine TRUMPS it three times over for $4500
You're motherfucked.
MaximusCerberus 2 years ago
What you don't understand if your is old techology on an old Archtechture Harpertown.
you pay more for Nahelem Xeon processors its just how it is newer technology costs more.
The only way you can match an 2009 8 core Mac pro is if you have the Same Nahelem Xeon X5550 cpus (which you don't)
Again the only thing that is better is the dual gtx 295s on your PC.

Why would I need to hot-swap hard drives in a workstation? I mainly use laptops, but at my main PC workstation. If something went wrong with a part, I'd shut it off. Why keep it running? It's not like a workstation should provide services to other users on a network.
On a server, I can see that. But why would you want to use a Mac Pro as a server? I think both Windows Server and Linux are better suited to most tasks for the price. And you can use the extra money for other stuff.
EmmanuelEMorales 2 years ago
What is this retard talking about?, most work stations (Mac Pro counterparts) can do this, and yes, it requieres additional hardware. In the PC world, options are vast and when we usually do that with servers, not workstations although you can do it, even install a raid controller on your "basic" PC and do it. iMac (counter part for the 1000 dollars PC) can't even use RAID, don't even have SSD options neither to compensate...

I don't appreciate the offensive material in the beginning of the video. And you're using raid 5, this allows for a hdd to become corrupt and a raid to still work. This has been done on pc/servers for quite some time. There is no difference between a pc and a mac other than an os.

@ Applesoldier:
Do you have a RAID-card, or do you use software RAID in OS X?
If you use the software RAID, I've got a challenge....
I'll build a Custom i7, matching the specs of the Mac Pro (exept number of FW800 ports) for under $1000.
And if it benchmarks the same as the current Mac Pro Quad (base-model for $2499) AND it can do the same thing you did in this vid, you have to make a vid where you say what I tell you to say.
Just need some cash, and then I'm up for it if you are. :)
sn0le 2 years ago
Additional info:
It will have optical out, but not optical in. And not Mini-displayport either.
But otherwise it will match GPU, HDD, USB-ports etc etc.
And the $1000 only includes one HDD, like the $2499 Mac Pro.
Extra drives for the RAID is extra for both systems.

A Mac Pro need a RAID card upgrade in order to do hardware RAID. Watch my video or just check the Apple website. In this video we can't see if Eric has a RAID card of not. If he doesn't then we know it's just software raid vice hardware raid which a workstation level mobo should have from the get go. Apple is the only major OEM that charges $700 just to have any level of hardware raid-WTF.
vwbond 2 years ago
You don't need the RAID card with the Mac Pro if you just want RAID 0/1. Obviously, if you want a sophisticated array (RAID 5, 10), you will need the RAID card, since the parity calculations aren't offloaded to the processor (which would affect reliability.)

Assholesoldier pulled out the drive and slid it back in. That is not hot swapping since he did not actualy insert more drives in place of the ones he pulled out. What good would hot swapping be if you can only pull out the drive that is already in there an put it back in? I will do an ownage video soon.
adobePC 2 years ago
right, but if he replaced it with an empty drive, the array would automatically rebuild. onboard RAID controllers won't do this - you'd have to reboot and do it through the storage manager.
thebsdguy 2 years ago
If his RAID system has 3 drives striped in a 0 RAID configuration and one drive went bad he could not rebuild it. That is the risk of a striped RAID set up. He has 3 drives so he could not stripe two and mirror two. His sytem is not rebuilding the RAID in this video. Applesoldier is an idiot and I will prove it.
adobePC 2 years ago
"RAID 0" isn't RAID. You can do RAID 5 with three disks, and if only one dies, you can rebuild the array by replacing the failed disk.

RAID 0 is a type of RAID aray although there is no data reduntancy. Video editor use it for the performance gain. I have used a striped RAID system at times but I am not using one at the moment.

RAID means "redundant array of independent disks" - RAID 0 has no redundancy - if one disk fails, the array fails, and therefore it isn't a true RAID level.
