Russell hi,

Your media management is looking very good..could you just tell me do you use those folders in terms of SOLUTION 1 or SOLUTION 2.

Thanks for the tips…very useful stuff. Guess you keep you project files on a separate drive from the one where you keep the media/video material and rendered material.

Thanks a bunch for your input

Best regards

Hi,

I found this on apple’s site:

FireWire 800 is backward-compatible with FireWire 400. When a FireWire 800 device is properly connected to a FireWire 800 port on a Macintosh computer, the two communicate using 1394b protocols at 1394b speeds. When a FireWire 400 device is connected to that same port, the port conforms to 1394a specifications to communicate with that device. FireWire 800 ports with this capability are commonly known as bilingual.

I think that means if having fw400 and fw800 attached at the same time, fw800 will slow down and will act as a fw400 disk, which as we all agree a bummer…

The solution? Buying a specified fw and sata card….can anyone share some links….and since I am a novice…where could I attach these cards…on a pci-e slot? or somewhere else…does the new apple mac pro computers have a dedicated place for additional fw cards….and what would be the true benefit of such a card and how many outputs do those cards usually have…does someone have a hands on experience whith those…

and one more thing…if I unplug my fw400 devices…then I guess fw800 is working at full speed?

Hi everyone,

Sounds optimistic…I am on the verge of installing the FCS2…will get in the couple of days…in the meantime solving some issues with the RAM (reseller didn’t send as specified) and doing some test with my new macpro quad 2,66 (sold a week ago my old g5 2,7ghz and made a switch to intel – which for the moment beeing regret a bit – but I am sure it will get more stable) to make sure is working nicely (used geekbench, member, and similar)….anyway enough about me and my setup…glad to hear some good news and looking forward to share some of my experiences good and bad…
