So I take it you mean something like in the bottom diagram:
Not too keen on the whole soldering part, do you think there
would be 22-pin male to female extension cables where the female part is split up/separate i.e: 1x Power (Molex if available), 1x SATA DATA cable, in this event I would just connect one 2xSATA power to molex cable on it and no need for soldering. Something like in this link here (http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/246707108/sata_cable.html), but the power having only two wires looks odd?
As per the diagram, it's correct (hard to follow the wire colors as the bend around, but it looks right in terms of location as well as color). :)
What you're asking about (backplane cable that splits into two separate connectors with 4 wires for power) do exist (here (http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sas_cables_adapters/I2917-05M.asp)). It's not as clean IMO, but functional, and at least from this link, is more expensive (would have expected it to be cheaper, as they're used more often in PC's). If you look, I suspect you'll be able to locate it cheaper (just make sure you've more than 2 wires on the power connector - only get it if it has 4 power wires).
As per soldering, it's not hard, particularly soldering 2 wires together (buying a stick soldering iron, heat shrink tubing and solder won't be that expensive; should be able to manage it for under $20USD <example (http://www.amazon.com/Weller-SP23LK-Marksman-Watt-Soldering/dp/B0009ZD2AG)>, and it's handy for other projects). You can get a pack of heatshrink tubing from Walmart for under $5USD, and stay around the $20USD mark (as I assume you don't have any of the equipment or supplies to do it based on your aversion to soldering).

Hi all,
Here's a little back story about my setup, you can probably skip if you don't want to read it:
-----
I recently bought my first macbook pro, 13" 2011 model. I'm a windows developer so I needed to run windows on it, so what I did was put an OCZ Vertex 2 SSD in the optibay and installed windows on it, and cloned my OSX from the 5400RPM drive that comes with the macbook onto a new 500gb 7200RPM drive. So I have two separate drives for the two separate operating systems.
I had all sorts of trouble setting this up, because the 2011 MBP's don't boot from USB, I had to take my SSD out of the optibay and replace the DVD Drive, put the SSD in the main bay, install windows then swap it back.
-----
It mostly worked though, I could swap between the OS's using bootcamp, or reefit - both worked. However last week all of a sudden I just couldn't boot into windows, I got a black screen with a blinking cursor. As this is my work PC, and my superdrive was at home, I couldn't boot from a windows disk to do a startup recovery. I wasted a day trying to workout how I could repair this from within OSX, mostly screwing around with vmware/parallels to try get it to run a repair from a windows disk to no avail. I went home, swapped the drives again, and ran the repair.
However now my boot camp won't work, I have to use reefit to open up windows when I want to boot. Occasionally it just won't boot from reefit at all either. I tried going into boot camp assistant but there is no way to repair the boot camp partition without wiping the drive, which is a pain.
On top of this, I've got a number of other problems:
- Windows on my SSD won't hibernate or sleep without crashing windows. Is this normal? is there a way to fix this?
- I now can't set it to boot into windows by default.
- On some networks (ie at uni) when I swap from mac to windows, it wont let me join the wifi network, I'm guessing this has to do with mac addresses and security? Has anyone else come across this issue?
- battery life is pretty average on both operating systems, more so on windows, is there any enhancements to windows other than what you would normally do on a laptop?
I really need to get a reliable system setup, I can't afford to go into work and have my laptop not boot into windows. Can anyone give me some advice? Should I try taking an image of windows and setting up the boot camp partitions again on the SSD? Or perhaps I need to just shell out for a 256gb SSD and put both windows and osx on that...

Something neat about the angle of the sign, it makes the avatar border look as though it's tilting right. Strangely appropriate.

That is the correct HTML. Make sure you're saving as plain text. If you happen to be using TextEdit, you can do so from the Format menu.
Ok I will do that (mine was saved as rich text format, so now I changed it .txt). I knew that was the correct tag, but when I open in in the browser, I cannot submit a comment. Any idea why?

Not surprising. The MBA makes more sense for most users rather than a 13" MBP.

Ah, I see. Do you have an asking price, I notice you said make an offer, but what are you looking to get for it?
I don't really have an asking price, as I don't know what's a reasonable price. I know you have a 12" PowerBook. Trades? :D

I have a lot of HD movies, that I tried transferring to my PS3.
After reading a lot, I decided to transfer via Nulliver Media Link, since I could do it direct since each file was over 4 gb.
After transferring, a typical movie was reduced in size by 1/4. For example, a movie from my mac was 8.6gb, when it arrived to the PS3 it was 1.9gb
Upon replay on the PS3 the movie looks horribly compressed.
Why did this happen?
How can I avoid this, is there another way of transferring large files?
Thanks,
Gabriel

To video folks: For those of you working with motion graphics, particularly in HD (lets just say 1080p to be safe), do you find the response time on the ACDs to be sufficient for working with HD content? How about full screen HD playback?
I find ACD's really good quality all-around purpose displays. IPS is faster than PVA, so they hold their name pretty good. ACD's are also pretty fine without profiling, which most other dislpays need badly before any color work. With profiling ACD's are naturally even better. If you need higher quality, you'll have to get displays with hardware LUT.
Personally, I decided that I won't buy anything to myself (displays or graphics adapters) without hdcp.
Also, I'm considering getting a 17" MBP (soon, I'd like to wait for a refresh but the money isn't coming out of my personal coffers); what is your feeling about it pumping out HD content to a 30" ACD? The ACD would actually be for home use with the MBP. How does it perform pushing HD content?
I'm also waiting for led backlit 17", although I couldn't afford it now, so it's nice it's not showing up...:rolleyes:
MBP should have no effort to playback 1080p. At least if it isn't too fat bandwidth, so that hdd/lan can stream it.

And by the way... totally get it and KSL it Ben. You can get $100+ and have them come to you. :)
Ya I already sold four for the price I said to you. And plan on doing to same. Even have a couple buyers as long as I get some more iPad 2s.

Try resetting the system management controller first (smc).
Resetting SMC will not have any effect on a hardware problem. Did you even read the OP's post? Or did you read it and you simply have no idea what you're talking about?

While you have them open in Preview, select all (Cmd + A), and go to the File->Print Selected... or something like that. Click the PDF button in the lower left hand corner of the print dialog.
lol. Not sure why I didn't think of this since I "print" using the PDF option all the time :rolleyes: Oh well. This should work.

It's not that the MacBook Air is evolving into a mainstream product. It's the mainstream that's evolving into MacBook Air-like products.
Hit it on the head there sir!
I was giving serious consideration to getting a pimped up 15 inch MBP as a full on replacement for my 4 year old iMac and be mac portable. But thinking about it do I really need that level of power and lug around that much weight when I can buy the cheaper pimped out 11 inch MBA to use in conjunction with my existing iMac.
I'm REALLY taken by the form factor of the 11 inch. Instant on and just sling it in my backpack and go. Want to wait to see if sandy bridge turns up soon in one.

I just got the iPad 2 and I was wondering when do you think the iPad 2 jailbreak will be out?
As far as I know, Comex (@comex) has had it jailbroken since Mar 14th (tethered) and will release it when it's ready for public consumption. Hopefully days, but could be weeks, I guess...
