Looking for advice before i setup my new system.
Equipment List:
- Mac Pro 4.1 QuadCore x2 "Early 2009"
- 32GB 1066 RAM
- 4 x OWC 50GB RE Extreme SSD
- 4 x Seagate Barrauda 1GB SATA
- HighPoint RR 2310 & eSATA for Mac PCI cards i have which i have been using for last year.
- HighPoint RR 4321 i just purchase.
- Mac Pro Cable http://www.transintl.com/store/category.cfm?Category=2784
- 1 x SFF-8470 to SFF-8470
- 1 x SFF-8088 to eSATA
- 1 x SFF-8087 to SATA
- 8 pin cable setup which will power 4 SSD mounted in CD/DVD spare Slot
- ATI Radeon 4870 512Mb x 2 "It's newer Card, it's not old red 4870" Card was Flash with new updated Driver
- internal PIONEER BD-RW
Im trying to run:
1. OSX 10.6.5 on RAID0 2xSSD
2. Windows 7 64Bit single SSD
3. ubuntu 10.10 64Bit single SSD
I had no problems in past with single SATA triple Boot using 1 SATA mounted spare CD/DVD Slot. OSX Partition on that SATA was used as my clone. I use eSATA for Mac with 2 external eSATA in RAID0 as main drive. RAID 5 using HPT 2310 with Seagate Barrauda 1GB SATA x 4.
I'm not familer with HPT In-Band web config. seems like it's more in depth with settings & ports.
i'm assuming with SSD to set write speed to "Write Back"?
Any Legacy SSD i should "Disable Read Ahead & Write Cache"?
I know 4321 card will boot all 3 OS, will i beable to use 4321 w/ SFF-8087 to SATA to boot all 3 OS?
I like to keep 2310 w/ 4x SATA internal as is for now. I plan to upgrade and get external exclosure down road.
Waiting on 4 SSD to get here tomorrrow, then i will be able to start process.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers,
W
