Hey guys! The last time I posted you guys were incredibly helpful, and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Current specs:
And the hard drive setup:
I bought this computer as-is from my old place of work. The drives are all probably non-OEM, and I'm unsure of what striping of RAID those two file HDDs are using.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Extending the life of this computer by even a few years is hugely helpful; some software is still optimal (Photoshop) but being stuck on the old version of Blender is Not Great and I'm unable to use the newest Archipack/grease pencil features I've paid for.
Hey guys! The last time I posted you guys were incredibly helpful, and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Problem: I'm unable to install the High Sierra (or Mojave) firmware. It looks like it's installing the firmware correctly, resets like normal, then is back to exactly where I started.
Question: Could RAID on my internal storage be messing up the High Sierra firmware installation, even if my current OS is on an unrelated drive?
Current specs:
MacPro5,1
Version: OSX 10.12.6 (Sierra)
Processor: 2x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 96GB 1066MHz DDR3
Graphics: OWC Radeon RX 580 8GB (in computer as "AMD R9 XXX 8192MB", metal-compatible)
And the hard drive setup:
Hard Drives:
x1 512 GB SSD (OS is here)
x1 256 GB SSD (Scratch)
x2 2TB RAID Storage HDD (Files)
