Mac Pro :: Downsides Of Housing SSD In 2nd Optical Bay?
Nov 14, 2010What if any are the downsides of using the 2nd Optical bay to house an SSD?
Is the SATA port independent like the 4 drive bays in terms of the bandwidth available to the port?

Mac Pro :: Case Structure Surrounding Screen As Popping Off Or Separating From LCD Housing
Jun 28, 2006On the macbook "Users report the case structure surrounding the screen as popping off or seperating from the LCD housing." I have had that problem as reported by appledeffects wiki. It isnt a huge deal. It is just a little loose and not completely popped off like that quote says. Have any other Macbook owners had that issue? If so what have you done to fix it? I have ran coreduotemp and it runs hot but no hotter than the normal macbook user and that is where it would seem like the problem would come from. Extreme heat and loosening of the glue I'm guessing. I don't know what to do and if this looseness is going to cause problems in the future for my otherwise wonderful machine I would like to know what I can do to fix this or what should be done.

Nov 11, 2009My friend is looking into buying the new 27" iMac Core i7 to replace his PC desktop.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: How To Add A Second Optical Drive?
Feb 5, 2008I recently purchased a Mac Pro and am breaking down my old Windows Xp replacement that this is replacing. I kept the nicest of the two DVD Rewritable drives I had in it.
I want to put this as a second drive in the Mac Pro. My question, I got drive replacement information off of Apple's web site but this is an addition, not a replacement.
This information should still help me a lot but most of all, how do I set the connector in the back? Do I put it to slave/primary, or cable select?
Is there anything else I have to do such as when I boot up the Mac Pro or will it simply just recognize it?

Jul 3, 2009I have the Pioneer DVR-112D in my Mac Pro Classic, and I'm a little irritated that it won't burn DL-DVDs at any higher than 2x.
I recently did a crossflash with DVRFlash to update the firmware on the drive hoping that doing so would improve DL-DVD write speeds. No dice.
SO... I am looking for a newer, better, faster optical drive.
I know it needs to be ATA to work in my antique mac pro.
Does it need to be some kind of mac specific drive? Can you give me any recommendations?
Mac Pro :: 2 SSD's In 2nd Optical Bay On 2009?
Aug 3, 2009I haven't really dug around much inside my 2009 Pro. I currently have Hd's in all 4 3.5" drive bays, but I only have the single optical bay filled. I was wondering, since I've seen people talk about a 2 SSD into 1 Optical bay bracket, can you run 2 SSD's off that single bay in the 2009? Where are you getting the 2nd SATA connector into that bay?
Optical
SSD1, SSD2
HD1
HD2
HD3
HD4
Do-able? And can the SSD's be bootable in that sort of setup?
Mac Pro :: Can Use The 2nd Optical Drive Bay On It For A SSD?
Mar 31, 2012Since I have no plans to add a second Optical Drive to my Mac Pro in the Second Optical Drive bay, I was wondering if I could put an SSD in that bay using a 2.5' to 3.5" drive carriage. Is this possible? Would it work? Would I be able to use it as my boot drive? Never tried this, so not sure if it would work.

Mac Pro :: Better To Use Optical Bay Or Drive Bay For SSD?
Jun 16, 2012Just bought a mid-2012 MacPro. Also purchased a Crucial 512GB SSD drive, which I intend to use for a boot drive. I know that I can install the drive in one of the four slide out drive bays. From what I can gather, it doesn't matter which bay I use, Mac will boot equally well from any of them. My question is: What about the second optical bay? Is there any advantage to putting the SSD there? (other than keeping another slot open for HDD?) Have tried to research this a bit, but the model is brand-new, not a lot of info out there..

Mac Pro :: SSD In An Optical As Boot Drive?
Nov 21, 2010Can a SSD in an optical drive slot be a boot drive in a 2010 mac pro.
I'm debating getting a 2010 mac pro (probably 3.2 quad) to upgrade from my 1,1 mac pro. I'd like a SSD for apps, and to boot from. But I'd also like the four bays to raid for larger capacity. I have tons of photos, and nearly a 2GB iTunes library.

Is there a way to get the DVD tray opened "immediately"? Sucks to think that we don't have control over that.

Feb 23, 2008Ok, so I've got a Philips DVD R/RW drive and I want to put it in my Mac Pro. I put it in, hooked everything up, but it won't open for me (opt. + Eject, I know). It's set on cable select, but I've also tried it on slave with the stock on master. Anyone have any ideas? I'd like to get this working as soon as I can.
PS, when I wake the MP from sleep, the light on the second drive blinks, but nothing else.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: Installing SSD In The 2nd Optical Drive Bay?
Apr 24, 2010[URL] recommends installing SSD in the 2nd optical bay drive right below the SuperDrive without need to secure (mount/screw it in) it. Read a review by Wavy Dave on Amazon and he doesn't recommend installing SSD in the optical bay even though it has a SATA connector because it's not a "primary" SATA connector. Is that true, our optical bay SATA connector is not primary?? I currently have all 4 bays filled with HDDs so would rather install the X-25M 160 GB below the SuperDrive.

Mac Pro :: Unable To Know Optical Bay RAID?
Jun 12, 2010If I needed to mount two drives in the empty optical bay and put both of them on RAID 0, would this and this be the only 2 things I would need?
Also, with the Pro Caddy 2, would I need one of their PCIe cards? Their site says that a card is needed, but since I would be getting the RAID card, would I need to even get one of theirs or would the RAID card be all I need?
They give three options for PCIe cards with the Pro Caddy 2: none, nonbootable PCIe card, and bootable card.
So would I be good with just the areca 1210 and the Pro Caddy 2 without a card or would I need a separate card for the caddy?
