Mac Pro RAID Card and 3 Terabytes Hard Drives.

Mac Pro RAID Card with model number A1247 does not have full support for 3 terabytes hard drives. This Mac Pro RAID card would only be able to recognize maximum 2.2 terabytes of the hard drive capacity.

The discussion threads at Apple Support Communities.

The built-in Serial-ATA controller in Mac Pro supports 3TB hard drives.

Oh New Mac Pro, Where Art Thou?

I am currently working on a Mac Pro with a problematic Apple RAID Card. The fun part is to transfer terabytes of data off the hard drives in RAID to other drives. Wait a minute, did I say “fun”?

Anyway, a lot people are hoping Apple to release new Mac Pro soon. There are fears that Apple would axe the Mac Pro line, since there has been no new models for two years. I personally haven’t heard a word about any new Mac Pro from my contacts at Apple.

I bought those Mac Pro RAM from Other World Computing.
