• ATT: Badly - need help with putting in place a RAID 0 configuration.

  Hi, harm,

  I remember reading on our forum here that RAID 0 is the way to go, if you want to first be better optimized.

  I've always heard that the 3 disks are the best-

  -Disc 1 - OS and Premiere Pro

  data files - disk 2 - Premiere Pro reads and writes

  disc scratch - disk 3.

  OK, it's pretty easy to understand, but now add RAID 0 and what? This means a 4th lead?

  RAID 0, as far as I understand it, is that a mirror of your drive C: (disc 1 in this case) would therefore be that average 4 phyical different readers

  in the computer?

  Other than that, my real question is this - how to create the RAID 0 after that I installed a new hard drive to do this?  To clarify,

  I have my disc 1, which contains the OS and the PP.  I guess this is the drive on which we would like to duplicate - in the way of creation

• Conversion of Raid 1 configuration to 1 normal hard drive with Windows XP Professional

  I have a Dell Precision Workstation 380, which has been set up at the factory in Raid 1 with 2 Seagate 160 GB hard drives.  The operating system is Windows XP Professional.  I would like to delete the Raid 1 configuration and that the computer is a normal hard drive configuration 1.  Can someone help me with a step by step procedure to achieve this?

  Hi cbcenterplus,

  RAID 1 means that you essentially two drives separated with identical information. In order to break the RAID is simple. Start on the Intel RAID Option Rom utility (ctrl + I), replace two disks drives non-members, and then restart your computer.  The 2nd disc will receive a new drive letter, and you can get in shape by using the disk management and have extra space.

• RAID 0 configuration problem.

  Hi all

  Have a Dell XPS 420 with 1 TB (x 2 500 MB) in a RAID 0 configuration. The computer is only 3 months old and one of the HD is a failure. Called Dell and it is replaced. The questions are:

  1. An is RAID setup more stress on the system?
  2. I do not use RAID when reconfiguring it with the new HD, which should allow me to better save capabilities? (only if the backup drive doesn't fail).

  Your comments are appreciated.

  
  

• RAID 1 & ESXi help!

  I have raid 1 configured on my server ESXi ESXi installation, is to see both drives and we will settle at either, it is not my table as disk 1.

  Any ideas?  Using the Intel 82801ER/ICH5R for my raid chipset.

  ICH5R is a "fake RAID" feature which means that the RAID does not work without software drivers to perform RAID functions.  ESXi does not support false RAID devices, so you will need to use your ICH5R controller as controller without RAID JBOD functionality or go buy a real RAID controller.

• 2008 mac Pro Apple Raid card problems, help!

  Hello, I have a mac pro 2008 with a raid set up. I want to get rid of all old raid together upwards and instead put a new ssd in the first Bay. The computer cannot read it because I think that it is always configured as a raid. Does anyone know how to make the available drive bays to new readers? You're help would be highly appreciated. I want to take the Apple Raid card so I can have an additional PCI port and I also want to get out the discs four raid. Just so I can put in a single ssd! Thank you very much.

  When you remove the Apple RAID card, readers who were searched will be unreadable. You need to make backups before time, because there is no way known to them read differently.

  There is a data cable, called the iPass cable connected to the motherboard to the RAID card. You must remove this cable when you remove the RAID card and reconnect the plug corresponding on the motherboard. Once you do this, you get four bays returned as SATA bays and can install any drives that you like. The problem with a lot of SSDS is that they are 2.5-inch form factor drives and may not fit on a standard sled. Users have used an IcyDock (in the 2008 version and earlier versions) or the newer technology adaptadrive:

  ... to get the alignment and attached straightened.

• RAID 1 configuration on a 8700

  I just got a new 8700 Dell with Windows 7 and a 2 TB Seagate drive.  I'm trying to install and configure an identical Seagate drive for RAID 1.  I read a similar post for the 8500 which was helpful, but I always use a problem.  When I go into the application of the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology, I can see both the original drive and the new drive, but I don't see any possibility to create a new volume, such as described in the Intel Technology User Guide fast storage, point 8.2.  Does anyone know why it would not be showing upward?  RAID is turned on in the BIOS, and the Intel Rapid Storage Technology app came pre-loaded from Dell.  Looks like it was ready to RAID.  A little additional info.  When I installed the disk 2, I plugged on the SATA 1 connector on the motherboard.  1 player has been connected to the SATA 0, and I moved the connector 2 SATA DVD.  I don't know if the issue of SATA connectors and I found no doc about that.

  I got this job myself.  The only thing I had to do was to disable acceleration (caching on the SSD).  After I did, I could set up the pair of hard drives 2 TB in RAID 1.  After the initialization of the RAID 1 (a few hours), I was able to reactivate the acceleration / caching on the SSD drive.  I now RAID protection 1 (6 GB/s on two disks) and additional speed of SSD caching!  The system starts in 12 seconds approximately.

• Desktop Dell XPS 8500 - complete Instructions for the necessary Raid 1 configuration

  Hi, soon I will get this system and it consists of the 256 GB ssd for the OS, etc and has 2 GB SATA for data. The ssd has his own connection to the Board of Directors and that leaves "2no" 6 GB/s & 2No / 3 GB/s sata ports on the card. The OS is windows 7 ult, but I don't want to use software raid.

  I bought a 2nd disc identical sata hard and want to configure hardware raid 1 for data. I am assuming they will be connected to the 6 Gbps ports because there will be 2 optical drives that I hear are connected to ports / 3 GB/s

  Can anyone provide a step by step instructions regarding the implementation of raid 1 as soon as I get the computer. It will be used until I have set up the raid. If you can try to fool it would be great (for example I have to disconnect the ssd before setting up the raid, the new sata drive has to be formatted first, etc?)

  I'm sure support Dell can instruct me on how to do it, but I am usually able to do minor hardware upgrades and have done things as OS reinstalls before so I don't know with a clear set of instructions, it should not be too difficult!

  Thanks for any help you can give

  There are two processes that allows to set up a RAID.  The technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology console and the Intel Option ROM RAID configuration utility.  Intel recommends using the console of RST on a system that already has Windows installed and working, but I do not know why the RAID configuration utility could not be used as long as the system drive must not be included in the RAID.

  If the RAID configuration utility is used, you end up with an empty RAID volume that must be partitioned and formatted as any hard drive, you add to the computer.  This is done by using the disk management application.  If the RST console is used to migrate RAID from a drive with data on it, the RAID created will have the same structure that we find on the disc for the migration, so partitioning and formatting would be necessary.

  To use the console of the RST, consider this: Intel Rapid Storage Technology User Guide.  Article 8 contains information specific to your goal.  The document also covers the RAID configuration utility, however, so it would be a good idea to consult the entire guide.  The computer must have the RAID mode is enabled before attempting to set up a RAID.  The guide gives a 'how', but remember the screens shown are for motherboards from Intel which differ slightly from the version of Dell.  The guide also provides information about using the RAID configuration utility.  The biggest difference between the use of the console of the RST and the RAID configuration utility, the Setup utility doesn't allows you to move from an existing drive.

• Adding a RAID card to help speed up the export (and another question reader) in first Pro CC

  First of all, I read the Page Tweakers export section because that is my main concern is. First my questions, then the background and my current and proposed configurations:

  Question 1: Adding a hardware RAID controller, for example an LSI MegaRAID will sufficiently remove the burden of parity management CPU on my RAID 5 software that the CPU will jump of joy and export faster?

  Question 2: If true for above, then compare thoughts on adding smaller SSD for either a RAID 0 or less two RAID 0 volume volume complete HDD RAID 5. In other words, I think the purchase of four Samsung 850 Pro 128 GB SSD to put in a four disk volume to handle everything (projects/media, media, previews, export cache), or split it into two volumes of two disks of each and divide the tasks, or keep the idea of volume four disc and previews and exports on my drive HARD RAID 5 array.

  The 850 are valued at SEQ write: 550 / 470 MB/s so I could get around 2000 / 1500 MB/s read/write to a disk four RAID 0 or 1/2 who, if I divided in two volumes to minimize the volume of read/write at the same time, if it really matters with these SSD?

  The Tweaker page made some comments. A split is carried out the tasks between different drives, rather than a large effective RAID can really slow things down. Because SSDS are much faster than a single HARD disk, I think its more accurate than so I'm leaning towards the configuration of four discs put OS & programs on the C drive, media & projects on media on SSD (2 disks RAID 0) Cache and D (HDD RAID 5), file exchange & Previews & export on 2nd SSD RAID 0 (or combine the two RAID 0 and their functions).

  Just trying to get a point of view here, since I have not bought anything yet. Any experience/stories, I would be grateful.

  My current setup of training:

  My D drive is a software RAID 5 consisting of four 1 TB Western Digital RE4 (RED) 7200 RPM hard drives with CrystalDiskMark SEQ read/write of 339 / 252 MB/s.

  The C drive is 500 GB SSD (Samsung 840 (not Pro) and fact 531 / 330 MB/s.) My OS, Program Files and Page file are on C and media data/files/projects, etc. that are all about the RAID drive.

  Problem:

  Current configuration allows for smooth installation, just export seems slow, usually taking between two and two and a half times the video length to export. Thus, a 10 minute video takes 20-30 minutes for export. 15 minute video can take 30-40 minutes to export. The first 10% of the export of re-encoding takes less than a minute (seems fast), but it becomes slower when the final 10 or 20 percent may hang for several minutes as my system is running out of steam. So, where's the waste?

  I activated the hardware acceleration (because the GPU hack my GPU is not listed) and it can break through to 25% use a few times and eat up to 600 MB of VRAM (I have 2 GB of VRAM), otherwise it is slowed down export set. The CPU can boost at 50%, but it seems either too busy.

  Our calendar is simple with two video and two audio streams (a little music and especially the voices), with simple transitions (jump cuts or cross dissolves). Sometimes, we fast correct color, so that could use the GPU? Also, given that we are filming in 1080 P 60 p and 1080 export 29.97 FPS, I think who is scaling and using the GPU. I know that without the GPU, it takes much longer. I excluded buy a faster GPU because it doesn't seem to be breaking a sweat. I just need to know if my system is a bottleneck at the level of the disk hard because I am using software RAID and my disks are slow and hardware RAID will considerably reduce the processor load so it can export more quickly.

  Our files are not huge in nature. Most of our clips are several MBs each. Total files in the project are between 5 GB and 10 GB for each video with Windows Media File export being 500 MB to 1.2 GB on average. Look using Panasonic Camcorders, so the original files are AVCHD, I think (.) MTS files?).

  Considerations:

  1. I think to buy (and future proofing) a LSI Logic MegaRAID 9361-8i is 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA (because some SSD current can exceed the standard 6 Gbps).

  2. I will not replace my current HDD RAID 5 as not in my budget to spend 6 or more large SSD. These discs are more important to me for temporary storage because I delete files saved once. I don't mind a few smaller SSD inexpensive if they can make a significant difference for editing and export.

  I can only guess my RAID HDD is slow but the CPU is burdened by parity. I guess running RAID 10 would not really help.

  My configuration:

  my configuration:

  CPU - CPU i7 - 3930K @4.5 GHz

  RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR3 2133 @2000

  Motherboard - ASUS P9X79 WS LGA 2011

  GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 2 GB (performed the hack of compatibility list to activate hardware acceleration).

  Drive C - 500 GB Samsung SSD (programs and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit) 840.

  D drive - four 1 TB WD RE4 enterprise hard drives 7200 rpm in RAID 5 software

  Box - Cooler Master HAF X

  CPU fan - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO with 120 mm fan

  Power - series Pro Corsair AX 850 watts 80 Plus Gold

  Optical drive - Pioneer BDR - 208DBK

  Thanks in advance,

  OK, after overload of information on everything I tried (free), which might be my answer here. I went from codecs to export. When you use Windows Media File, Premiere Pro seems chugging along much slower than when you use the h.264 (not h.264 Blu - Ray). I don't know if it's because Microsoft has found a way to break it or what. But I'm the CPU usage of 70-85% on the 2 Pass of 2 as well as the use of the memory of 40% (or 12 GB). It exported in 14 minutes. Woo - hoo. I then did a similar test using Windows Media File. It took 31 minutes to export. The CPU has spent much of his time in the 30%, especially down in the 1930s mid-1940s with spike for memory usage was only 24% to 35% and 50%. Since then, I've read how h.264 codec is 'plu' for online files. It compresses better with less compression artifacts. He seems better, etc. Well, they both seemed on the same thing for me. I play both on my TV 70 "before I could comment further. In the future, I will consider a RAID controller and upgrade the HDDs to SSDS.

• two pairs of Raid 0 configuration

  I get a parts list for a system using the Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD5-B3motherboard and five WD 1 TB SATA 6 Gbps black disks. A reader will be my main OS drive. The other 4 will be configured in two pairs of raid0. A pair will be used for my support of source and the other pair will be used for export. (OS) disc will go on one of the two ports 6 Gbps (SATA3_0). Four others go on four ports of 3 Gbps (SATA2_2, 3, 4, 5). I can configure two volumes Raid 0 on the controller chipset Intel? I'm not find clear documentation on how to proceed. The other option would be to buy the UD7 motherboard and put one of the pairs two raid 0 on the Marvell chip, but I think it would be less desirable.

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  Can I configure two volumes Raid 0 on the controller chipset Intel?

  Don't see how that would be a problem. My experience is with the UD7 Commission, but they are quite similar.

  I'm not find clear documentation on how to proceed.

  In short (and this is not a guide) place the RAID controller in the BIOS, reboot, pull up the RAID configuration menu and follow the instructions in the manual. 83 to 85 pages describe the process very well.

  Don't worry all the stuff 'do this or that before installing Windows' unless you plan a RAID operating system drive.

• The parallel model configuration help

  This is my first time posting, but I'm a long time reader...

  First of all, I consider my knowledge novice Teststand high to low intermidiate level. I created a sequence test to aid in Teststand that call labview vi. My test sequence tests 5 units at a time in a parallel model (model in parallel sequence). From a functional point of view, everything works great for single pass and loops. However, here's my problem:

  When you select "USE Test", it brings up a window that asks you the serial number for each of the five stations. The operator must then enter a serial number for each and press OK proceed. This configuration is not valid for what I do. My test setup has a button for each of the 5 stations. The user must press the button to start the test (connects to a data acquisition). Then the serial number is read from the UUT and entered in the report.

  How could I go how to reconfigure it? I'm not looking for someone solve my problems for me, I just need a little direction. I looked at the parallel sequence model and I may not know where to go with it.

  Help, please

  TestStand 4.2

  LabVIEW 2009

  In the parallel model, you will see the Pre DUT reminder.  Inside of there, you will find the steps that call the dialog box you're talking about.  The best option is to replace it in your file of the client's sequence.  Then write your own code that dictate the required operators to go direction.

  It's just the description the General "point you in the right direction."  Please let me know if you want more details.

• Raid 5 configuration on a server ESX 4.0

  Hello

  I have a server with 4 500 GB hard drives and I configured these hards like Raid 5 3 in raid motherboard controller. I installed ESX server 4.0 in non-raid disk hard but in vsphere client, I see these three separate hards and I guess that this esx server is not set up these hards as Raid 5

  How can I set Raid 5 in esx server.

  My motherboard is Super Micro X7DVL-3

  The RAID, you can set up through your motherboard is known as 'false' RAID.

  This is not supported in ESX. ESX only supports the RAID hardware controllers real (as indicated in the HCL)

  Even if this could work in your case, you would probably a real bad performance. The reasons are that a RAID5 with 3 drives is one of the slower RAID configurations that can be configured and your RAID controller does not write cache.

• ESX 3.5 will recognize additional HDs on PowerEdge 2900 (is not a member of a RAID 1 configuration)?

  Hello gurus/VM-masters

  I am still a novice in the VM world: 3

  The installation program:

  Dell PowerEdge 2900 running VMware ESX Server 3i 3.5.0 build-153875

  Installation of two hard disks in RAID 1

  Only one store of data in RAID1

  The question:

  I have an extra hard drive that I want to add. http://Cheetah 15K.6, SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)

  I was wondering if there where it is possible to add additional hard drive and create a new data store to add new virtual machines on it?

  ESX will recognize it as additional storage?

  Is it bad/mess with existing RAID1 configuration?

  Or is it simple, plug-in HD

  Thank you!

  RAID 0 - a definition of tolerance drive no fault, in this case a single PIN.

  Many raid controllers able technical force you to set the drive as a feature available on the controller, before the operating system can see it, in this case a drive would give a raid 0 LUN set on the controller.

  Your controller will accept it is submitted or you need to take the material down to set it. Sometimes, this feature is available via an interface ILOM (Integrated Light Out Manager) of the server allowing the definition without an outtage.
