OSX handles the network traffic differently than Windows. Also do you have GPU acceleration capable cards in the Mac systems?

Yep that is the latest one since it has been discontinued. Outside of checking for advance settings to streamline the network processing, I cant see a way to fix this on the adapter side.

The biggest deciding factor to E-Sata Multiplexing bay performance is the E-Sata controller cards. I have tested this extensively from very cheap Marvell Startech controllers to Silicon image controllers and even Highpoint. This is one instance where what you pay for is what you get. This works the same with SAS controllers. Higher end LSI SAS controllers have far greater performance especially with rebuild rates than much cheaper Highpoint SAS controllers. The best E-Sata card that I have seen is Sonnet’s. That card will give you close to peak bandwidth performance for your E-Sata multibay regardless of the manufacturer especially on HFS+ arrays. However this is a $250+ expense. The only decent cheaper controllers that I have seen were Marvell and only with the latest firmware and drivers. Keep in mind Caching models on the controllers for command queuing along with the controller firmware initializing with Windows 7 cache policy correctly is what decides this. So the overall here is if you want the 200Mb/s a sec on these 4 and 5 bay E-sata units expect to get a $300 controller card. If 185MB/s Read 150MB/s writes is ok then look at highpoint or Marvell controllers.

Do you have any other USB devices on the USB3 port paired with the 1 the Blackmagic is in? Do you have any USB Hubs plugged in or USB ports in your monitors?

All of the testing I have done with the Red One codec and Scarlet version, R3D multithreads great in Adobe. However Red Giant plugins/fx do not as of last I tested or heard. The Colorista is going to slow your performance down at the CPU if you use it. I suggest making that the alter part of your workflow.

Did you check Device Manager after you ran the Wizard once to see what was showing up. Did the Wizard restart the system when you ran it the first time? If so did you run it again to install the driver?
That bios version should be fine. The 4210 is fine as well.Eric-ADK

Yes they will. I install them all the time. If they are not then you have a bios issue. What bios version are you running?
