This is a noobee query! I've got this mac pro in the studio. It has fcp on it patched through aja kona LH. Memory is internal only. No RAID. That is a problem if i want to capture or record video if the hard drvie doesnt have the high transfer rate required for uncompressed 10 bit. How do i check the transfer rate of my internal drive. In the info it says Serial ATA: Intel ESB2 AHCI Speed: 3.0 Gigabit What does it tell about transfer rate? Is there any other place i should check? Appreciate ur help. Thanks! |

http://www.intechusa.com/ The honest truth is I bought this package for this very reason: I wanted to benchmark the hard drive performance and I couldn't find any other way. I was very pleased with the results. Of course SpeedTools comes with TONS of other goodies. Have a look at the above link. I would heartily recommend it. Oh.... and WELCOME to Mac Forums!!! My Macs: iMac 27" 3.4 GHz, Mac Pro 3.2 GHz, PowerMac G5 Quad 2.5 GHz, G4 Cube with 1.2 GHz Upgrade My iStuff: 64GB iPhone 5, 64GB iPad4, 30GB iPod Video, 16GB iPod Touch My OS': Mac OS X Lion, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Mac OS X Tiger, Mac OS 9.2.2, openSUSE 10.3 I was on the Mac-Forums honor roll for September 2007 |

Unfortunately I will need to check the spec with what I have for now. FCP manual says Serial ATA has theoretical data throughput limit of 150 MB/sec. I wonder if it means I can capture Uncompressed SD video (24 MB/sec) safely? Trouble is, the Digibeta VTR hasn't arrived yet, so can't try it out! Any inputs much appreciated!

If you believe you can do something, you can. If you don't think you can do it, you can't. Either way, you're right! |
