  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Kaku,

sorry and I've got it.

But also that's exactly a sort of dealer's destiny that we can find here at the forum so often.
 
Hi Luca, thanks.

Update on the choice of the PCIe card for the second slot. I tested the Calidigit RAID card and didn't work (although it worked when Magma was connected to a Mac Pro), so I installed a SATA/eSATA card instead. This worked flawlessly and I'm going out to Akihabara now to pick up RAIDON Pro Drive that provides RAID1 or RAID0 for Mac Pro with two 2.5 inch drives, but I'm going to put this in to Magma and connect it to the internal SATA of the PCIe card. I have to be careful with the operation temperature of this drive though.

Chris,

It's the 12 drive storage, 12 port 1gb ether switch with two 10gb port (one is used to connect the switch and the Xserve, but one of the dual port on Xserve is connected to another Mac Pro client) and the Xserve. Did Paul get in touch with you?
 
Ratoc SATA/eSATA card worked and I got a hardware raid1/0 box for internal mounting (made to fit in the floppy drive bay of PC) and installed that in the magma and worked well (not anything superb comparing to using RAID card but actually be able to connect any eSATA drives is very convenient for location copying). Now I have to figure out the cost.
 
Wow,
Superb configuration for On-Set Kaku!. Can´t wait to read your fps-render marks.

Vico.
 
Vico,

Reading R3D over the regular 1gb ether (since it was on a local RAID on another machine) and back to the same disk location writing as TIFF files took 4 minutes on 2 minutes material. Mostly shot with 3K resized to 720p.
 
I'm reading some very long footage from AFS and writing to NFS on GraniteSTOR as ProRes444, One file is over 40GB but working flawlessly. Mac Book Pro is usually just sitting at the studio when it's not our on the road so to do with RED ROCKET and Mac Book Pro, then not to waist the Mac Pro's is really great. Mac Book Pro + RED ROCKET + GraniteSTOR is the winning combination.
 
By the way, I came to studio yesterday and someone had disconnected and took away the Mac Book Pro for some other testing. I saw the Magma with RED ROCKET sitting there hopelessly. But all I had to do is to connect the cable from the Mac Pro and there you go, RED ROCKET was working at x8 speed on Mac Pro. How great x8 Magma PCIe Expansion chassis is.
 
is there a direct link to the picture of the set up? I am not a member of facebook. Is that why I cant see this set up?

thanks.

Jason, come and join the facebook. Lately I'd rather discuss and post things on facebook to only friends.
