Best Hard Drive performance for Audio

My MacPro 3.1 is about to be replaced with the iMac, so all my internal drives need to be changed too.

In Logic Pro 10.2 El Cap.

Any recommendations?

The G-Tech 7200 RPM 4 Gig usb3 seems good quality but want to see if anyone has any better ideas?

You cannot change the drive HARD in-house on your own. You must order your new computer with the disc drive 7200 RPM for a top speed of a rotating disc. Otherwise, get a SSD instead or go for a drive of Fusion using the combination of 7200 rpm 1 TB drive HARD w/256 GB SSD or w/256 of HARD 7200 rpm 3 TB GB or 512 GB SSD drive.

If you use external drives, then the best choice would be to use a Thunderbolt case. USB 3.0 isn't quite as quick as lightning, but lightning are much more expensive. Hard to give useful advice, not knowing what kind of audio needs you have.

    Which hard drive buy for my laptop Toshiba Satellite 15.6 "3 GB HD 320?

    You can check the Toshiba site for which specifications you need.  A general rule is to buy something at least two times greater than the one that failed, because the data use and therefore the space doubles every 18 months.

  • Best hard drive Mac Mini for CC

    I get my grandson a Mac Mini to run CC and I would like to comment on the choice of hard drive. It will be a high school sophomore in the fall, taking the Junior trail class multi media and use Photoshop and the Prime Minister a little.

    I'm looking at: Mac Mini

    • 16GB

    Now, if you had your choice what drive would you and why. I take into consideration price, speed and scratch on the disc and want to get the best bang for the buck. I am considering the SSD for speed and then perhaps down the road I might add an external for Scratch disk space. I have not use CC but was prepress for many years and has spent a lot of time in Photoshop myself so I know he has a lot to learn and wants to maintain its level of frustration to a minimum. Any thoughts?

  • Optimal hard drive configuration for first Pro CS5 and Pro Tools

    I am in the process of upgrading a workstation is used mainly for multi-track audio recording in Pro Tools using the Adobe CS5 products following production of promotional videos in HDV (AVCHD for the web) as well as printouts of documents of marketing for groups and musicians: Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Soundbooth.

    Since Premiere Pro is probably the most demanding application in the group, I studied the hardware configurations suggested on this forum with great interest, in particular the suggestions of PREJUDICE (including its generic guidance for the installation disc) to determine what drives in order to buy and the best way to configure them.

    I'm upgrading to a HP Z800 with 2.44 GhZ processors dual quad core with hyperthreading (16 virtual cores), 12 GB of memory and a GeForce GTX 470 overclockee.  Without the implementation of a RAID configuration (which I can't afford right now), I would use 4 bays for HARD drives available in the Z800 in the optimal way for the Premier Pro, using currently available drives.  Currently, I plan to buy a 300 GB VelociRaptor to use as my C drive because of the time of extended loading and demands placed on the disc of ProTools and plug-ins Waves associated.

    I would appreciate your suggestions to improve my next plan: C (300 GB WD VelociRaptor) for the operating system and programs; D (1 TB WD Black Caviar) media and projects; E (1 250 GB WD Caviar Black) for the swap file (approx. 18 GB) and media Cache; and E (2 TB WD Caviar Black) for Pro Tools, exports, and previews of audio files.

    I have great respect for the knowledge of the members of this forum and look forward to your suggestions.

    Bill,

    If the live band shots involve a lot of multi-camera editing, I suggest a raid0, otherwise, if the Assembly is a single camera only, I would use separate disks, one for the media and for exports. The risk of losing all the data in a raid0 configuration would not bother, because the intensive part of the disc reads media / FLV writes. It will not be a significant difference in performance between playback of a disc and writing to each other compared to R/W in a raid0.

  • Compatible HARD drive need for my Satellite L655 - 1 6

    Hey everybody,

    my 4 year old Satellite L655 1 g 6 has recently had some problems and the hard drive needs to be replaced.
    Does anyone know about a cheap substitute that should not necessarily be the Toshiba?

    I don't want to do a SSD hard drive, as this laptop is old enough, and the cost for the ssd would not depreciate in the next years.
    Would be very grateful to hear some opinions/suggestions :)

    -Thanks in advance

    In general you need is of 2.5 HARD drive with connector SATA and these drives, you can find in every store of the computer. Pick up some info on the proposed models, capacities and prices so that you can make a decision that you want to buy.
    > I don't want to do a SSD hard drive, as this laptop is old enough, and the cost for the ssd would not depreciate in the next years.
    In my opinion it's the wrong opinion. Using SSD increase you the performance of laptop computer s quickly and were very quick machine. One day if you do not want to use this laptop, you can remove the SSD and put old HDD inside. SSD can be used on the new machine.
    For me, it's the best solution for you.

    Last year I've improved my 4 years old P500 with SSD and I m very happy with it. The price was only 149 Euros. It's OK price. Change the HARD drive is not complicated and you can do it alone.

  • HP Pavilion p6280t PC: Western Digital hard drive Compatible for HP Pavilion p6280t desktop PC

    I need to replace the internal hard disk for this old model of PC.  It came with a hard drive from 750 GB 7200 RPM SATA 3 Gb/s (Seagate).  What drive Western Digital hard (750 GB or 1 TB) is compatible with this computer?

    The limitation of SATA is more like a heading of speed that allows the bus. (6 Gb/s) SATAIII allows real world speeds of up to 600 MB/s while SATAII (3 Gbps) allows speeds of up to Bot 300 Mbps connections. allowing speeds of over the current maximum capacity of any mechanical hard drive. Best performing discs can go up to 200 MB/s, so it wouldn't really matter if you use SATAII or SATAIII. You should be fine using either for the WD Black and you shouldn't see any difference in transfer speeds.

  • Optimal hard drive installation for 3D and animations CS6?

    Hello, I am trying to understand the best way to separate the following in different hard disks for better performance...

    -OS (probably Windows 7 or 8 64-bit)

    -Exchange page OS disc

    -Programs (Cinema4D and Adobe CS6)

    -Adobe Media/Disk Cache

    -Project files

    Source/import data files

    -Render/output data files

    So far, I think...

    -An internal SATA3 SSD for the OS, OS swap, programs, Adobe Media Cache

    -An internal SATA2 HDD for the project and Source/import data files

    -USB3 one external HARD drive to render/output files

    I wonder if separating the files of a different way would be more optimal, or if adding several SDD HDDs for the Page file and the Media Disk Cache would be us is worth the money. In particular, the OS, OS swap file, programs and media Cache must be divided into different readers?

    Here's what I recommend as a starting point for a good system.

    C: System (Windows programs)

    D: projects

    E: cache/Scratch/Previews

    F: media

    G: export

    Let alone the pagefile.  You won't see any advantage to move and could potentially ruin things if you do not set this right.

  • Google Drive storage for audio issues

    Trying to help my husband, an author, after the fact. He is working on a book and has compiled several gigabytes of audio interviews. Everything on Garageband as files uncompressed aif. It is not technically suitable.

    He saved all his Google Reader without doing them anything. Now, he's out of space on his computer.

    The files are all over Google Drive and appear to be good - but he needs to remove the originals on his computer to continue working.

    In order for me to check that they are there in the cloud and working, I have to download each one and launch iTunes, is this correct? Because it does not convert, there is no way for me to play them where they reside on Google Drive?

    UGH.

    It is a way for him to batch convert what it has done so far? There are about 50 or so files, I think.

    My apologies for the basic questions; This isn't my forte.

    Hey Kren,.

    I understand that you have a few questions about your husband works with some AIFF files but are out of space on his Mac. Revisit some information to get it work.

    Now your initial assessment is correct, you need to download and play in iTunes to check. Now he can covert the audio files in a different file format that will reduce the size of the files it works with to save space. Another alternative is to move some content on the Mac using an external hard drive. You can move the iTunes library, iPhoto or a photo library to find some space. Take a look at the articles below to go on how to reclaim space, conversion of files in iTunes and even how to move the iTunes files to another location such as an external hard drive.

  • Need info on max size of HARD drive available for Satellite Pro M30-813

    Hello

    The question is mainly to be sent to Toshiba authorized support personnel. The limitation of the maximum size of a HARD drive internal that I could use with my Satellite Pro M30 - 813, what exactly?

    Recently, I bought and installed seagate SATA drive of 160 GB, on which I installed WXP Pro and have been running for a while with no problems. Recently, I've been copying large amounts of data to an external hard drive to my new internal drive, and that the files have been copied, as I noticed have about 50 GB of free space left, I knew windows "delayed write failed" and a failure of massive wall without the possibility to recover the data. The system would no longer boot time and the entire MBR has been damaged. As a result, I lost all the data on my new drive.

    Well, I realize that Toshiba is not responsible for additional hardware that I use with my computer laptop and who is not officially supported by Toshiba, I am sure that as an end-user of a Toshiba product, that I have the right to know a lot information of limiting size of HDD for my model of laptop. So I ask, representing technical support Toshiba to give me an official reply directly to my question.

    Thank you in advance,

    Andrejs

    (You can also contact me private my e-mail address)

    Hi Andrew

    > The question should mainly be addressed to Toshiba authorized support staff
    I think that you are in the wrong place if you are looking for a response from an authorized Toshiba support.
    This is a user to user Toshiba forum! You will here meet passionate and Toshiba laptop owner who share knowledge and trying to solve the problems, but no one of Tosh :(

    I could give my experience with Satellite M30 and HDD upgrade possibilities.
    To my knowledge the M30 Sat supports a 40 GB, 60 and 80 GB HARD drive for sure.
    In my opinion, you can use the 100 GB HARD drive, but more large HARD s drive will not run and works correctly.
    So go to a smaller size of HARD drive and enjoy the laptop!

    I've goggled a bit and found compatible drive HARD and part numbers
    HITACHI GBC000Z810-> 80 GB
    HITACHI GBC00014810-> 80 GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2188B-> 80 GB
    HITACHI G8C0000Z610-> 60 GB
    HITACHI G8BC00013610-> 60 GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2183-> 60 GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2184-> 60 GB

    I hope this might help you a little!

  • Tecra R10 - hard drive upgrade for SSD

    Can we say if it is possible to change the hard drive for an SSD?
    It would be perfect!

    Why is it not possible? As far as I know Toshiba proposes some models of the Portege with SSD and SATA drives.
    For the time being SSDS are quite expensive and I don't think the best solution.
    What is the reason for the exchange of HARD drive?
    I still have no experience with SSDS, but I've read several articles ve noticed that Intel X25M should be good. According to the tests that has this HARD drive, comparing to other manufacturers, data transfer rate but it is quite expensive.

    Anyway, when you replace the HARD drive please let us know how it works, and describe your experience with it. It can be very useful for other members of the forum.

    Good luck!

  • The hard drive works for 1/2 hour at the start before I can use the computer.

    I tried all the registry cleaners, etc. with nothing doesn't. Is there a way to know what is happening during this time?
    I use AVG virus and tweak.now for other things.

    Hello

    1. have there been recent changes to the system before the show?

    2. what disc hard are you referring?

    Method:

    Follow the link below and run the disk check. Check if it helps.
