KONA 3, Sonnet D800 8TB, Mac Pro 8 core. Works great.
by Danrnw on Sep 28, 2007 at 2:29:36 am

This is just a mention of a good experience for an upgrade.
We were a G5, 2.5 dual, OS 10.3.9, OT 7.1.6, FCP 5.1.4,
1.6 TB MacGurus SATA with Sonnet card, Aurora Pipe Studio, ALL SD.
( I could not upgrade to FCS2 or OS or QT because the Pipe Studio
was at the end of it's life and drivers were not going to be made).
My old system was working flawlessly but could not upgrade to HD.

New system, Mac Pro 8 core 3 Ghtz, OS 10.4.10, QT 7.2, FCP 6.0.1,
8 TB Sonnet D800 at RAID 5 (interleave set to 64), KONA 3.

Everything seems to be working fine. We are still operating in the SD world.
We'll be producing in HD in about a month when we get our Panny 1400 deck,
HD monitoring, including WF monitor and either JVC 24 inch or Panny 26 inch
monitoring. So for now, no issues with HD. We still output to our Digibeta A500
and DVCPRO 440 via SDI. The house also has a brand new AVID MC
HD Adrenalin with another Sonnet D800 8 TB RAID 5. The AVID folks were
pretty weird at first when I wanted to the Sonnet D800, but came around
after Sonnet spent some time with Key Code Media (where
we bought the AVID from in Seattle ). We bought our FCP system from Frank Kergil at Media Tools in Bellevue. Highly recommend them for those of you
in the area.

Very happy so far. And I was apprehensive because I really liked the way
the Aurora Pipe Studio operated but alas they are no longer with us.
A smooth ride
