:confused: Confused Re: Expansion Chasis
Hi guys, me again.
Have just purchased an HD3 Accel system (PCIe) and was waiting for Digidesign to announce compatability with the new 8 core Harpertown MacPro & OSX Leopard before buying one to fit the HD3 system into. My question, if anyone can help, is: I have 3 empty PCIe slots in the new MacPro: 1 PCIe2 and 2 PCIe slots. OK that's fine and I'm assuming that the PCIe2 slot is backwards compatible with the PCIe core card and accel cards that came with my HD3 system. So I have a slot for each card and everything should be hunky dorey. However, I want to create a RAID system for recording so that I always have a backup should anything go wrong (we've all been there). I don't have a PCIe slot left for the RAID card and yet there doesn't seem to be an expansion chasis (as far as I can see) for the PCIe Macs. Only for PCI Macs. How do I go about this? Any help would be most appreciated. Cheers guys. Thanks Craig |

Magma has PCIe expansion chassis (http://www.magma.com/products/pciexpress/index.html) or try OWC (www.macsales.com) for firewire RAID solutions.

Thanks Chuck.
I inadvertently posted this in the wrong place so thanks for replying anyway. I didn't realise that Magma did an expansion chasis for PCIe. Cheers mate regards Craig |
