2TB Disk Size limit with older versions of Pro Tools (ver 8 and lower)
Problem: Older versions of Pro Tools® (version 8 and lower) do not support record or playback on disks larger than 2TB. If you attempt to record or playback from any locations on the disk above 2TB, Pro Tools will give errors. A disk larger than 2TB will work until it is filled to 2TB, then ...
- My GT 062E does not show up correctly in Windows while connected via eSATA (3TB or 4TB only).
A 3TB and 4TB GT 062E drive in RAID 0 or Spanning mode may appear to be smaller than it's actual size when plugged in to an eSATA port on Windows Vista and Windows 7. The GT 062E may appear as the expected size if the drive is previously formatted using a different eSATA controller, USB, or Fire ...
- On Windows, during GT 062E power on, why does Glyph Manager report that the array has failed?
This is normal behavior and nothing to worry about. Since the drives inside the GT 062E take a few seconds to spin up, they are "offline" for a moment when the controller goes to look for them, and Glyph Manager reports that the array has failed. When they fully spin up the controller sees that ...
- I am using Windows 2000 and/or XP 32-bit and my volume is bigger than 2TB. Why does my GT 062E not show up correctly?
Older versions of Windows, such as 2000 and XP 32-bit, use Master Boot Record which doesn't support volumes larger than 2TB. When the total capacity of the RAID is 2TB or higher, you must format the array using GPT in Windows. GPT format is only supported by Windows XP 64-bit Edition, Windows 20 ...
- Why does Glyph claim the GT 062 and GT 062E work with Pro Tools when Digidesign doesn't support RAID drives?
We understand that Digidesign doesn't officially support RAID drives. But the reason that the GT 062 and GT 062E work with Pro Tools is because they are hardware RAID products, and they show up to the computer as a single drive. Pro Tools can't tell that they are a RAID. It is true that Pro Tool ...
- The LED flashes red on my GT 062E when I power it on. Is this a problem?
This is normal behavior and nothing to worry about. Since the drives inside the GT 062E take a few seconds to spin up, they are "offline" for a moment when the controller goes to look for them, and a red warning LED comes on. When they fully spin up the controller sees that everything is normal, ...
- Do I need RAID software to use the GT 062E?
RAID software is not needed because the RAID intelligence is built into GT 062E hardware. To configure as a RAID 0 or RAID 1 array, use the Glyph Manager software to switch drive modes, and format the drive.
