    Current version of CUDA for mac is 5.0.45.

    Release notes for 5.0.17 state that support for the GT 650M was added.
    https://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cuda-5.0.17-driver.html

    Believe it or not, the CUDA option seems to be running a little more smoother for me than the OpenCL option. And of course, the software only option turns my entire sequence red.

    Thanks Again!

    Thanks for the response. I have these issues using OpenCL. Current version of CUDA for Mac does support the 650M without any hacks.

    It’s a 4-Drive 4TB LaCie Quadra (circa 2008). I’ve used many of these and it’s predecessor, the Biggest F800 with never an issue that Disk Warrior couldn’t fix. Once, I had to send out an enclosure that was seemingly performing OK, but beeping and giving me warnings. Nothing like that occurred this time.

    It’s my understanding that if Disk Warrior says it can’t read the drive, it’s done as a viable drive without re-initializing… which obviously erases all the data. Even then, It’s now a known problem-drive and should not be trusted.

    No LaCie Utilities other than the Update Tool, which has not updated the firmware for this model since Dec. 2007.

    Jeremy,

    The drive worked fine for years. I even repaired permissions a few times over those years. Then, for no obvious reason, I boot it up as I normally would and the Finder gives me a “This Disk you inserted is not readable by this computer. Ignore, Initialize or Eject?” But the Drive is visible (although unnamed) in the Disk Utility. All first-aid options are grayed out.

    Same issue when attempting to mount to other computers. I buy Disk Warrior 4.2. It immediately opens with “Disk Not Readable.” I download the demo of Data Rescue 3. A quick scan says “Disk Not Readable.” A deep scan starts identifying files and building a list. It takes 3 minutes per GB. It’s a 4TB RAID. Approx 40 hours to complete the list of what it thinks can be rescued and transferred. I’m hopeful that after it builds the list and I buy the license and a new drive, that most of the data will be recovered.

    But I’m with you… WTF happened? I thought RAID5 was pretty much bullet proof.

    Thanks Guys.

    Walter, If I went with say a CalDIgit HDelement 6TB, would a simple, non-RAID, single drive 6TB be a suitable backup? Or is there any return on investment to use a RAID for the backup?

    Thanks, You guys rock!

    First NLE for me was the Accom Cube. Later evolved to Turbo Cube and then to Affinity Sphere platform. I picked up FCP at version 2. But then dropped it for Media Composer until I came back to FCP for 4.0. Been on it ever since. Now, I dare say, due to lack of knowing where apple is going, I am actually (gasp) thinking of Adobe for the future.

  • It has worked great for me for Blu-Ray burning from Toast 10 (w BD Plug-in).

    It has not, however, performed well for reading and writing CD-R and DVD-R in my experience. 50% fail rate… awful. Never been a real issue for me as I still have the original SuperDrive installed and having learned the hard way, use that for all non-BD stuff.

    Too funny, I just got a bsg-50 for $75 on eBay about an hour ago. Thank though.

    Ok, I was sending the composite out from the IO to a beta deck’s Ref In. The kona lhi cannot simultaneously do component and composite, so I am ha ing trouble getting the deck to sync.

    Any thoughts?

    I’m looking for a cheap sync generator on eBay, but I’m wondering if I can use the IO standalone to generate ref into the kona lhi and subsequently to the uvw1800.
