The next stage was to use SuperDuper to clone from VelociRaptor 1 to the Agility EX Boot drive.Д®verything was fine until 28.00GB had been copied, and then nothing more would copy.

All drives were formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). All 4 VelociRaptors are shown as 300.07GB. 64GB in Disk Utility after its initialisation. I cannot remember the exact figure, but the Agility EX was listed as approx. The Mac system accepted all 4, and mounted desk top icons for each drive. The SSD was named 'Agility EX Boot', and the others 'VelociRaptor 2', VelociRaptor 3, and VelociRaptor 4'. So then I used Disk Utility to initialise the 4 drives. I then started up the Mac Pro, and there were 4 message boxes on the desktop, requesting that the drives should be initialised. The Agility EX was installed in the lower of the 2 optical bays, and was connected to the pre-wired SATA and power cable, and the VelociRaptors were placed in hard drive bays 2, 3, and 4.

So my next step was to install the Agility EX, and another 3 VelociRaptor 300GB drives, in the Mac pro workstation.ДЇirst, I reselected VelociRaptor 1 as my boot drive, so that I could use SuperDuper to clone to the Agility EX. Next I selected this as my boot drive to check it would boot OK, restarted my system, and there was no problem. Then I removed the original Apple drive, and installed it in an ONNTO dataTale TQ-M12H external single enclosure, using a Firewire 800 interface connection. December, and yesterday afternoon I decided to set up my boot drive and 4 drive RAID 0, as described in:ДЇirst of all I used SuperDuper to clone from my VelociRaptor 300GB drive in Bay 1, to my original Apple (WD) 640GB drive in Bay 2. I received my Agility EX from Aria on 16th. ******************************************************************************** *********************ДЄfter reading several very favourable product reviews of the above SSD, I have just purchased one from Aria Technology Ltd., to use as a boot drive for my (early 2009) 8-Core 2.93GHz Intel Xeon Nehalem desktop workstation.ДЄlso, prior to purchase of an OCZ SSD, I posted a question on Apple's Discussions' Forum:ДЇrom the response to this, and from reading several other threads regarding SSDs, I found that several Mac Pro owners are using OCZ SSDs as boot drives, and in some cases employing up to 3 of them. To save me the time of rewriting all the events please refer to the following emails and online submissions: I used SuperDuper to clone from a VelociRaptor 300GB HDD to an OCZ Agility EX SLC SSD, with disastrous results. This is the new thread which I referred to when replying to: WARNING! USING SUPERDUPER TO CLONE FROM AN HDD TO AN SSD MIGHT SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE HEALTH OF YOUR SSD!
