• Need help with my hard disk configuration

  Hi guys,.
  Ive read a lot about the best configuration of hard disk for my editing video pc... but I need some feedback. Here are my specs. Im running Windows 10 with this HD configuration. I use my system for Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Lightroom, and After Effects.

  1 SDS drive 250 GB operating system, program files, swap file

  2 HDD (sata III) of disk 2 TB stockmedia / assets / my documents

  Disc 3 HARD drive (sata III) projects 2 TB

  4 drive HARD drive (sata III) 750Go export/renders, PP previews

  5 HARD drives (sata III) of disk cache AE, PP, scratchdisk photoshop, captured 750Go audio/video media cache

  
  

  If it would be really beneficial to my performance, I also have another HARD drive disc (sataIII) 2 TB which I could build in the case.

  It looks all right? Or you guys change anything? I have a RAID configuration, but what I understand... RAID 3 or 5 would have need of more disks (same size preferred) and preferably a hardware controller. But my budget will not allow this for now.

  Thanks in advance for your comments guys...

  You probably already read this, but if you do not page Tweakers: Disk Setup

  you drive configuration looks good, you can use the windows resources monitor to determine if the readers are struggling as well.

  If I had to change something, I would try 2x2tb raid 0 (disk 2 and 3) for media/assets/projects using mbd raid (if your mbd supports raid). I might even try to add the spare hard drive 2 TB, 3x2tb RAID 0 for performance even more. If 'my documents' is just random storage (not for your active video projects), you can move to another drive out of the raid, as the 4 drive or another room to spare. Since you already have these parts, raid can be a good way to boost performance for free. any raid can add some risks more data loss, so you just make sure that your backups stick to the currents. You can save a copy of the project first (just the file .prproj) in a few different places at the end of your editing sessions, or use auto-enregistre to another location, to avoid having to save as much.

  Moreover a unique fast sata ssd is comparable to 3 hard drives in raid, so you could look (s) ssd, sata for better cheaper and simpler vs an expensive hardware raid card. SATA ssd prices keep falling off and show no signs of slowing down, so if/when you get some later, they could be even more affordable.

• Hard disk Configuration question...

  Hello

  I just ordered a new Qosmio custom.  It has an i7 Processer 4700MQ and 16 GB DDR3L 1600 MHZ SDRAM.  The primary HD is an mSATA SSD 256GB.  The second and third HDs are the two 500 GB (7200 RPM, Serial ATA)

  I'm looking for the best configuration of the installation for the first Pro on hard disks for best results with respect to the speed and efficiency.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you for your consideration.  It is a big problem for me and I am in kind of uncharted waters with several hard drives.  It is a big step up.  (I'm not a professional.  It's all related hobby)

  It looks like a portable Setup loud enough!

  I suggest doing a RAID 0 the two HDS and most all the data files (media, projects, export) on the RAID. This should give you the best performance for your hardware.

  For files of zero and cache you can experiment with try them first on boot/OS/programs (SSD) drive vs RAID array 0.

  Good luck and please report your finds for your specific projects.

  Kind regards

• Cannot remove HARD disk configuration PERC 6i with use of the SAS drives foreign. Existing data are not important. Scratch reloading to redeploy the server.

  Dell Poweredge 2950 III with serial number note from the Admin: have the label removed according to the TOU > receipt readers traded since an identical poweredge almost eliminated. In the configuration of the PERC controller 0 6i utility, disk groups show as foreigners. Messages following the procedure to import the configuration, then remove before was not effective. The prior configuration appears in the menu.

  I would like to simply clean configurations of VD for the readers and the controller. After it is deleted then next step is to set up a configuration I want. My new Setup is not relevant for this post. The goal and the only question is how to clear existing shared disk configurations.

  VD0 clear addition to figure 2 SAS PD/hard drives as virtual disk unique. RAID levels 0, status is offline, SMART status not = no error, County VD = 1, PD = 2 count, operation = none

  Is a similar to VD0 VD1

  other berries are currently empty.

  For initial troubleshooting I have removed all the HARD drive except a single disk on the server. This disc shows also as stranger.

  In the PERC 6i config utility:

  VD MGMT doesn't show CONTROLLER0 - no configuration is present. Choice of the F2 are Config. Foreign config based on availability. (Create new VD and manage preserved Cache are greyed out) Right pane of the screen indicates "foreign Config present, controller prop.: DG = 0, County VD count = 0, County of PD = 1".

  PD MGMT shows only the formatted Mo 139 K SAS single, foreign = State, SMART status not is no mistake, operation = none

  VIEW FOREIGNERS shows DG0 = foreign, Virtual disk 255 with DG count = 1. County of VD = 1, County of PD = 1

  I installed 3 of the disks individually rotating as a single HARD drive with similar results.

  WITH 2 HDD SAS installed only difference is VD Mgmt shows County DG = 0, County VD = 0, County of PD = 2.   View foreign shows VD255 prop: Raid 0, Raid = foreign status, size = na, operation = none. | Disk prop group. : VD Count = 1, County of PD = 2, Ded HS = 0 (because it does not exist).

  Thanks Chris. Problem is solved. I would like to Flash the firmware as precautionary measure? Still confused why initial in the VD Mgmt tab procedure has failed.

• Best hard disk configuration

  Hi guys, I'm fairly new APE9 and video editing in general. I see in some positions where you guys suggest to have more than 1 hard drive but no one talks about the actual optimal configuration.

  Let's say I have a drive of 500 GB hard run my win7 (C:\), if I add a hard drive of 160 GB in there (D:\) what should I run where?

  Thanks for the tips.

  Welcome to the forum.

  With the options you list, here are my thoughts.

  If the 160 GB is a bit on the small side, if it's fast, I would actually set up such as the system / boot disk and use the larger scratch discs, media and projects.

  The system / boot would have only the OS and programs and probably also to locate the swap file on the larger HARD drive. This last option would be only after the test. In addition, it depends on the number of programs I had installed. With some upper air (including several suites of Adobe), my 200 GB C:\ is used less than half, to 94 GB, and with a clean of emails and Documents, I could probably get that down for ~ 85 GB.

  If I have a 3 x 200 GB SATA II/o, I have found that my Page file did slightly better on my E:\, and I managed it statically to 10 GB for my OS Service Pack 3 XP - Pro w / 4 GB RAM max. If you have a 64 bit OS and physical load of RAM, you don't need the Page file to be almost as big.

  Now, if your 160 GB is slower, is not as fast a connection type that most great, etc., then all bets would emerge.

  I also agree with the diagram that Bob Peru related. I use the suggestions of prejudice when speaking on i/o with a poster.

  Also, I think that a 3 e/s x is optimal, with the OS and programs on C:\, media on D:\ and projects + Scratch disks on E:\. If the HARD drive is the same, then D:\ & E:\ can be reversed, their functions, with zero change in what either.

  With several HARD drives, we can go out, say exports and makes or maybe Audio separated from the video. For HD media, having a RAID 0, with a dedicated hardware controller will help things, but improving the performance, with more than one configuration of 3 x, will be not that big and when you start to add RAID popular with dedicated controller, especially with the built-in memory cards, price up really quickly.

  Good luck

• After the hard disk configuration, system assigns an incorrect letter to the reader

  I've completely dumped my HDD and it washed.

  Configured the drive hard and re - format to NTFS with no partitions.

  I unplug everything not used during reinstallation except monitor, keyboard and mouse "Wired."

  Reinstalled XP from the disk.

  Guard system identifier 'E' like 'Local disk' or 'Hand' hard instead of using 'C '.

   

  I've "cleaned" my drive several times before but never this problem even without being able to correct a cleaning extra (s) until the disk correctly record labels.

   

  Why this time and what is the difficulty of obtaining the 'c' labeled as the 'Local' or 'hand drive '?

  Hello

  ·         You have several configured on the system start?

  This can happen if you have a multiboot system, or if there are multiple partitions on the disk.

  During the installation of XP, make sure that you select C: as the partition where you want to install the operating system. Then to comply once more he comply when it prompts you to install XP on the C: drive. Check whether the problem is resolved. I suggest you follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

• 2950 III Raid hard disk requirements

  Hi all, I have poweredge 2950 III with raid 5 and has 3 fujitsu hard drive in raid 5. Now, I want to add more hard drive to my raid 5 volume. What kind of hard drive is supported in raid 5 design?

  I read it somewhere that it must be the same speed and size. So I intend to buy the same speed and size. But my question is can it be different model or brand? Other brand or model supported in raid 5 of design? Another brand or model can work, but I'm not interested to use it if it is not supported by design.

  Please let me know if I need to add more information.

• Configure a raid with a single HDD on board more than 2 external HARD disk.

  Hello

  I run Win8 Pro 64 bit with Media Center, updated Win 7 Media Library on a 27-1007ev HP all in one desktop pc with a 500 MB HARD drive inside.

  I have 2 external hard drives - one is 1.5 TB used to store data such as pictures and videos etc. NAWL, the other is a 2 TB used as a backup device.

  I want to set up a Raid mirror on the PC's HARD disk to one of the sources, without having to do a reinstall if possible.

  I appreciate the external ability could be underutilized unless I upped the HARD internal disk capacity to match.

  Any advice warmly welcomed.

  Hello

  The motherboard in your PC's bios for RAID support.  In addition, there are only two ports SATA; one for the HD and the other for the CD/DVD drive.

  You can use a function of storage W8.  Check out this video W8 storage space.  You cannot use the current drive although I got it to work a long time ago, but have not tried to do recently.

  Another possibility would be to try a software RAID using only two USB external drives. Other possible combinations, but none are going to be as robust as using the bios RAID supported feature.

• "Setup cannot find not all hard disks" on Dell PERC 6/1 RAID controller-supported?

  Hi team - I have a Dell R710 (physical host) PE server that uses the Dell PERC RAID controller 6/1.  Windows Server 2008 x 64 is the host operating system.  VMW Server 2.02 installs and works very well, and I need to install W2K8 x 32 (guest) server configuration, but windows can't see the virtual disk with the same error "Setup cannot find not all hard disks", you get the installation on Windows XP Home edition- but the documentation does not say it's controller RAID is not taken in charge should be... any ideas?

  This is not a problem of the underlying RAID/hardware controller.

  Virtual MACHINE on VMware Server just to see the virtual hardware that you have configured when creating the virtual machine, or through the settings.

  Be sure to select the correct target OS when you create a virtual machine. This configures the disk controller HARD virtual appropriate, which should be supported on the OS installation media.

  If you have selected the right OS and still have problems, please post the vmx file.

• Pavilion p100dx: need to HARD disk for my pavilion p100dx configuration

  Hello team,

  Recently my hard drive of the laptop broke and now I need to replace my hard drive P100DX Pavilion.

  To do this, I want to know the configuration of HARD disk as

  1. 2.5 or 3.5
  2. What is SATA or SATA-no?
  3. SATA is compatible for it?
  4. What is the size of the HARD drive that needs to be? -height, length and width.
  5. Seagate HARD drive would be compatible.
  6. pointers for the HARD drive to buy.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It's a laptop HP Pavilion 15-p100dx ?

  http://support.HP.com/au-en/document/c04463224

  If Yes, then

  1. it uses standard 2.5 "HDD.

  2. it is a SATA HDD,

  3 SATA III (or 3) and SATA II (or 2) is compatible.

  4. all standard HDD laptops would use the same width and length, thickness (hright) can be varry slightly, but your laptop supports 7 mm or 9.5 mm. Better use 9.5 mm because you don't need a frame fill to increase his height.

  5. Yes, HP doesn't produce HARD drives for laptops, it uses Seagate, Toshiba and a few other brands.

  6. you can buy in any computer store BestBuy or Amazon, Newegg...

  Kind regards.

• Windows Boot Manager, I want to change the Configuration of hard disk

  I have a computer with two former 500 GB Hard Drives.  The "Legacy" operating system is installed on the first physical hard disk in the system and Windows 7 is installed on the second physical hard disk, they are the identical WD drives.  I bought a new Seagate Barracuda 1000 GB drive, I want to use in place of the mark.

  So currently I have:

  SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

  SATA-5, score 0: 500 GB Windows 7

  With the new player, I want to:

  SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

  SATA-0, Partition 1: 500 GB Windows 7

  I have disk imaging software, able to copy both disks to the new partitions on the new disk.  What I want to know is how can ensure me that I continue to get the start menu to see the two operating systems.

  Of course, I will still have the old hard disks available, and I can always put them in.  It's just that the cloning process takes a long time, and I would like to have my procedure in advance.  The first time I have start the system with the 1 TB drive, it will not be a disk of 500 Go SATA-5, score 0: in the computer.  I don't know which files must be modified to search for Windows 7 in the new location.

  I shouldn't need to do a reinstall of windows.  I think I found the answer to what I was looking elsewhere.

  I remember that two years ago, when I set up the Dual boot system, I followed these instructions:

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/8057-dual-boot-installation-Windows-7-XP.html

  When I did, I had a dual boot menu:

  -Old Version of Windows

  -Windows 7 Professional

  Of course I meant "Windows XP" rather than "earlier Version of Windows.  I searched and found that a tool exists to modify this menu.  I don't remember what they called the tool when I presented this request.  I was pretty sure that the tool would allow me to have the change of start menu where he sought the installation of Windows7.

  Today, I found the name of the tool, it is called BCDEDIT. EXE.  It allows you to safely edit the menu file, and startup locations resemble the old file boot.ini of Windows NT days.  Here's what the tool then generates on the command line.

  Windows Boot Manager

• Portege S100 - upgrade after cloning BSOD & HARD disk

  Hi all

  I wonder if anyone can help me please. I have a laptop Portege S100 with a standard 80 GB drive. I want to upgrade to a 200 GB drive.
  Here's what I did.

  I ran Acronis to save an image of the 80 GB HARD drive. All backed by an external USB disk and checked. I inverted the readers and restored the image on the 200 GB drive. All restored and verified.

  I restart the PC with the new hard drive in place. "Windows XP" logo comes up, then aarrgh blue screen. Stop x7B.
  Swapped the old disk, system boots fine.
  Check in the BIOS, with the old hard drive in place that the RAID configuration is enabled by default

  New swap disk, JBOD configuration is enabled in the BIOS. Could this be why it is not booting? If I want to activate the RAID configuration, it is ok, but I'm told that it will wipe the hard drive!

  I have no qualms about wiping the new hard drive, but it will work? If I change the RAID configuration, then restore the image? The only reason why I have not done it so far is because it took some time to create the image, and then writing it back on the new disk and at that time there the owner of the laptop is needed it back. !

  Help appreciated!
  Thank you very much
  Alex

  Hello!

  Can you post the BSOD detailed please?

  I'm a little confused on RAID m parameters are you wrote. As I know the Portege S100 can handle only a single HARD disk.
  In addition, you must use the same settings as with the old HDD RAID.

  Maybe the SATA controller has a limitation of LBA 28 bit and can't handle a 200 GB HARD drive. In this case, the larger HARD drive should have 120 GB. Here you can learn more about the limitation:
  http://www.48bitlba.com

  Last but not least, you can see the new HARD drive for errors. Maybe it s faulty. For this, you can use the Drive Fitness Test:

  Sorry, but for the moment I put t have more ideas.

  Good bye

• Help to find the driver on the Satellite A200 (PSAE6) HARD disk controller

  Greetings. This text has been written through a translation program, to try to understand :)

  Problem:
  My friend bought a few days back to herself TOSHIBA Satellite A200 (PSAE6) where it has been established operating system Windows Vista Home. He asked me to change OS on Windows XP Pro. With the first problem I have consulted - have deleted Vista, but to set up XP is not possible due to the absence of the HARD disk controller driver in the OS distribution kit. Windows Installer cannot find the HARD drive. I read that it is necessary to load the driver during Setup, press the F6 key. But a problem I can't find the driver in that.

  We have no disk with drivers that should go with a computer and therefore it is necessary to search independently on the Internet. On the Toshiba site to locate the pilot, it was not possible. Then I came to the Intel site and download "RAID/AHCI - Intel® Matrix Storage Manager» After unpacking I got only «infinst_autol.exe» archive

  Question:
  Where can I download this driver (not a "EXE" format) that can be used during the installation of Windows XP?
  PS: a chipset - Intel PM965 Express

  Thank you

• Move from Vista to Windows 7 AND transfer on a different hard disk operating system

  I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit and in the same movement of time the OS Vista Home Premium 32-bit & a Seagate 80 GB HARD drive to two 250 GB hard drives in a RAID configuration. I intend to replace the 80 GB HARD disk with a faster drive Windows XP, so I find myself with a dual-boot system.  Apart from the exchange of small hard drives, the system will be unchanged compared to when I activated Vista.  Since it seems I have to reinstall all the programs on W7 in any case (damn and the breath), I wonder if it will be necessary (for reasons of product activation) or useful (for operational reasons) to first clone Vista to the larger players. I am aware that Seagate provides cloning software, also free that 250 GB seems a little bit today - but he will do well while this PC is still working. In case it is relevant, the Vista is OEM (I built the PC and I bought Vista with the motherboard), but I will get the retail version of Windows 7.  Most experts with thanks...

  Hello
   
  We cannot move the operating system from one hard disk to another. However, we can install the operating system on another hard drive or take the whole operating system if necessary system image backup.
  NOTE: You'll have to do a custom Setup to upgrade to the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
  Windows Backup gives you the opportunity to create a system image, which is an exact image of a disk. A system image includes Windows and your control panel, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working. When you restore your computer from a system image, it's a complete restoration; You cannot choose to restore individual items and all of your current programs, Control Panel, and the files are overwritten.

  For more information about backup types, see this link:
