2016 iMac, purchase decision: why I'd get a 2 TB vs 1 TB disc fusion? What type of use requires a 2 TB with vs 128 GB 1 TB 24 GB flash version?

At first, we thought they were SSDS but learned that they are only partial. It really takes the extra storage space and our practices are mainly applications to business and other things like google earth, photos, the light using google sketchup etc. To know we are not the players or the designers. However, we do tend to keep our computers for a long time. We still have our 11 year old iMac. Are there benefits hidden suspension for the 2 TB drive that we regret or should stick us to the 1 TB version?  If we were to get a 2 TB we would notice even the difference account required to our practice?

It depends in part on the total amount of storage you need. One way to help determine which would be to analyze how much space you use on your current iMac. I currently have a MacBook Air, which has only 128 GB of total storage (all the flash) and it's big enough for me (though I'm not typical) and I really enjoy his performance. If I was in the market for an iMac, I'd be buying the 256 GB flash storage option - but I don't need total storage space. The information below from the link "how much storage is good for you" in the http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/imac?product=MK442LL/A & step = config

can help

Flash storage

Flash storage offers significantly improved compared to a traditional hard drive - performance speed you will notice when you start your iMac, launch an application or browse your photo library. Storage Flash also uses no moving parts, so it works silently. For maximum performance, you can configure up to 512 GB of memory flash on the iMac 21.5 inches or up to 1 TB on the iMac 27 inches.

Fusion drive

Fusion drive handset storage quick flash with a large hard drive. OS X intelligently manages what goes where, using the Flash for files you access frequently and keep the rest of your digital life to the larger hard drive. Over time, the system learns how you work, so it suits the Fusion drive management view for work best for you. You can choose a Fusion drive up to 2 TB on the 21.5-inch iMac, and up to 3 TB on the iMac 27 inches.

Merge to disk 1 pairs of a hard disk of 1 TB with 24 GB of quick flash - enough to store files of OS X and applications in order to ensure a quick start, near wake instant sleep and quick application launch, with room remains for the most frequently used files and important applications. 2 to and 3 to pair of Fusion results in a hard drive more than 128GB of quick flash storage, offering even more space for your most frequently from the files used. For best performance, systems iMac with 32 GB of memory must be configured with a 2 to big merger or any flash storage.

  • Why do I get "installers" added randomly to my process?

    I have an early 2009 iMac 24 inch.  I installed el Capitan, and about a month later, I had performance problems.  I downloaded memory clean and discovered that I was running out of RAM. So, I added 4 gigabytes of ram for a total of 8 GB.  But I still occasionally issues, ending up with about 400 MB of RAM even with the 8 GB.  I looked at my process in Activity Monitor and discovered several "installers" taking up many gigs of memory processor. I left these processes, but every day or so, another "heating" is displayed. Given that I keep clean memory and open activity monitor, I left these process and I am very well.  The question is why do I get these installers added to the memory of my processor?

    Hi jeffh212,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. Based on what you said, it seems that you have found processes that start running their own, you will need to close.
    There are a few ways this can happen. I would recommend read you these articles, they explain how you can disable some elements of opening and see if the process of return.

    OS X El Capitan: items open automatically when you connect

    Another thing you can do is to start in safe mode to disable all elements of connection and putting into service, if the problem persists.
    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

    See you soon.

  • Different flash version numbers reported

    I feel a strange anomaly in the reported for Showckwave Flash version numbers.

    If I go to the Add-ons Manager (topic: addons), he said: I'm under Flash v. 16.0.0.296, but if I go to your checker plug-ins online (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/), he pointed out that I do work v. 16.0.0.305 - which is also what is reported by the Flash applet in the control panel.

    If you can tell me why there is this difference and how to fix it?

    Kind regards
    Martin

    System:
    Win 64-bit 8.1
    Firefox 36.0

    Hi Martin, who are normally the same.

    Have you left and started Firefox back up again since your last Flash update? It is possible that the addons page has not caught up with what is actually on the disc now.

    You can also check to see if you have both of these files in the usual place:

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    

    The plugin files used by Firefox follow this naming scheme:

    NPSWF32_16_0_0_305.dll
    

    When the four-part version number varies. You need only the most recent if there are multiple matches to this model.
