SanCube 1TB-OSX 10.6.3
Does anyone have any tricks to get a 1TB SANCUBE to work on Mac OSX 10.6.3? Our school got rid of all the old G4 Macs and these SANCUBES are great, but they don’t work on the higher OSX operating systems. Plus, we can’t afford to pay 800.00 per machine to Micronet to have all of them reconfigured to work with the latest OS. These are firewire 800 based storage units and the Disk Utility won’t detect them unless you are using OS Tiger and below. Appreciate any help or leads (Versiontracker maybe?)

If your SAN Cubes are as old as the G4s… you should really be looking to replace them, and not necessarily by Micronet. I’m fairly sure the builders of those SAN Cubes are long gone by now 🙂
Sounds like the department blew the budget on replacing the computers and left nothing for the storage. If that is true then you are in a tough spot.
I’d say, go out and buy a bunch of firewire 800 1TB boxes, they are at or near 100$ each nowadays, and probably more reliable than a product that is 8-10years old. If you have money, go buy a SAN for your department.

we actually have the newer 4TB lacie external RAID drives for all our editing bays, but I have these three SANCUBES around and they work perfectly and we can install larger PATA drives, 7200 or 5400 rpm. I just can’t see wasting RAIDS that allow for at least one stream of HD and are firewire 800 based. They can at least be used for TimeMachine backups.
