Re: [Avid-L2] Market for the cheese grader Macs

 

I'm running the 18.12.1 on the 12-core 5.1  and it's a tiny bit sluggish reaction-wise, but I got used to that pretty quick.  The live (ish) timeline, background bin save and overall stability is a reasonable trade off for the mild sluggishness of timeline functions.

Also have the USB/SATA from Caldigit. The first one with internal sata ports and external esata. Running a ssd boot drive from it.
That USB 3.1 card was announced yesterday, it's a new one with several controllers so in theory each USB has its own, resulting in greater speed with several drives. Might give it a shot as it's pretty fairly priced.
Very happy to squeeze more out of those, the 2009+ Mac Pro will be around for a while I'm sure. Especially as Apple themselves gave it NVMe booting with a firmware revision that came with Mojave ..1 or .2!

Upgrading processors, RAM, and GPU are all great, we have several Cheese graders with that config and they are work horses. Keep in mind that Avid has dropped support for these computer as of anything after v. 2018.2. The sonnet USB3.1 cards are a little finicky, but do the job.

That looks fun, I may have to experiment with that one. Anything to get more mileage.

Thanks for the tip, Pierre.

Damon,
You should put one of those, released yesterday:

Sonnet has a good history of decent Mac products, that one sounds like a very good one.

John, 

What's your work setup w your cheesegrater? 

I've got a mid 2010 that sports
12 core 3.46
128 GB ram
1tb SSD system drive
Nvidia GTX 680 4gb GPU
External 16tb SAS Sonnet RAID

It does a great job but not having usb3 sucks when I receive a client media drive. Transfer rates to my raid are ugly.
