Installation: 2 1TB Hard Drives into Firewire RAID Enclosure

[imLouAlvaro]

hello, where we can find this enclosure model?

thanks

[suspekt29]

Ok question. I have done RAID before the moment I got my PowerMac G5. Apple is extremely user friendly when it comes to striping. My question is, what is the benefit of doing this vs buying an external HDD (3TBs are going for about 140 by me) and using a program like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper and mirroring the drive that way

[deadly1010P]

super fast mode aaaahhhhhhhhh

[dame12712]

I have a MAC g5 can put then in minds

[nmbeas89]

are samsung hard drives good?

[sujin99999]

i heard this thing has 1000 gb each is that true?

[asus3571]

great vid bro ? for ya what is the difference between raid clas drives and normal h/d's also what is the benifit of a raid enclosure wha what puspose does it serve thanks

[TecBookPro]

@asus3571 You may want to do some research on the net about RAID, as its not classed as a type of Hard Drive, A Raid between 2 Drives (A mirror RAID) is what i am using with these 2 drives, essentially what this does is creates a backup of the other disc on the fly, so if one of the driver crashed or dies, i don't loose any data. Not having a RAID system is not having a Backup and therefore your could loose your Data if your drive crashes

[asus3571]

@TecBookPro yea i know what raid is i should have refraized my ? microcenter has advertized samsung spinpoint f4 rais class drives just wanted to know why they were called raid class

[ixy1987]

I have a macbook and have a mybook western 1TB type external hard drive and wanted to know is there a way to install it in inside my mac without taking out the one that came with the mac I want to have both my external drive and the one with my mac both inside my macbook can I do it ? I know you can take apart the external drive and take the drive out of the cover but wanted to know if can have it the one that came with my mac?

[TecBookPro]

@Mastersun88 Unfortunately you can only have one 2.5" Hard Drive in a MacBook, or MacBook Pro, although you can take out the optical drive (DVD Drive), and put in a second Hard Drive but that is a difficult process.

that looks really cool :) am a video editor and a gamer do you think that this is a good setup for me ?

[TecBookPro]

@FSXHD92 thanks, it probably would be but if you want more drive space and a evan safer solution i would recommend a Drobo although it all depends on your budget. overall it is still a good system for small things.

@Googlecow456 u mentioned gaming, macs are very capable of gaming. now piss off and watch some of ur pc videos.

[Googlecow456]

naw i swear i didn't mention gaming maybe your yelling at the wrong person? lol sorry for going off its a Spaniard thing tight vids

[TecBookPro]

@Googlecow456 wow, sorry dude wrong person, i was havin a bad day, :) PC and Mac are great its just what u think is best for you, i hate hatters and fanboys.

[Googlecow456]

lol me too but steam coming otu for mac is goin to change the world of gaming i agree

[stiggelthesk8er]

macs suck

[TecBookPro]

@stiggelthesk8er ever owned one?

[stiggelthesk8er]

@TecBookPro yeahh:D i liked it till i started gaming then i turned it on one day and it was like GRRR what the hell is wrong with you your os sucks. i like macs just not the os. if i had to get a laptop i would get a macbook and put windows on it

[TecBookPro]

@stiggelthesk8er although luckily steam is coming to the mac and we will be seeing a lot more games, possibly just as much as pc soon.

[itchyfingers89]

I'm no fanboy (I own iPhone, iPod etc...) but Mac sucks compared to PC. End of fucking discussion.

[TecBookPro]

@itchyfingers89

no need to discuss then, but thats just your opinion, it depends on what u use your computer for. :)

[stiggelthesk8er]

@Googlecow456 because a cpu is not a computer case -_-

[Googlecow456]

@stiggelthesk8er i agree macs suck and yes i have had one lol i noyl hae them because they suck for gaming even if you do have windows installed and all apple shit is overly priced and stigg you made no sense to me but now i see its a mac so you cant just install the hardrive and replace it with your normal internal you have to buy mac crap

[TecBookPro]

@Googlecow456 one i cant put 2 3.5" drives in a laptop, u cant even put 1 3.5" drive in a laptop, so u can shove that idea up ur ass. Steam is coming to mac and the majority of games on pc u gan get on mac without windows smart ass, how about you finish school before u believe you have any idea about life

[TecBookPro]

@Googlecow456 i do belive that samsung has nothing to do with Mac or Apple, so how it this mac crap??

[jay6157]

[TecBookPro]

When TecBookPro handles electronics, he turns into The Flash and a hamster at the same time. It's why he doesn't appear on camera.
