Re: ADVICE PLEASE: On a annoying RAID issue.

Hi Luis,

Thats very kind of you. I will be in touch. I'm happy to replace these green drives, should it prove to be the issue in the end I was intending to upgrade from 1TB drives to 2TB soon anyway.

It's in slot 4, this is an old-ish Mac Pro 1,1, and to run x16 graphics in slot 1 and the raid card at full speed in x8, the only profile that fit is an alternate PCI express profile of 16, 1, 1, 8. My vendor was always keener to run the raid controller in slot 2, but there just were not the lane capacity, I'd be happier myself as in slot 4 is under internal drive bays 3 & 4, which are often quite warm.

It's a very long public holiday weekend in the UK, (our Queen's diamond jubilee), not that it matters, save for an opportunity (and unfortunately) I have too large a project to move and needs to be completed, and of course, it's sat on the RAID, and although I'll have to soldier on, it should be complete by Sunday night. If it's alright I'll email Monday. If you don't mind.

Thanks again. And to Steve & Jon. A great place The Cow!
