    Now, I am open to any suggestion that could be a bottleneck above, but my main question is about my setup of my hard drive:

    I have the following drives:

    2 x Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD

    2 x 1 TB WD Caviar Black HARD drive (7200 RPM)

    2 x 3 TB Seagate Barracuda HARD drive (7200 RPM)

    (FYI: I'll backup all important files on a burning of final projects and external HHD comics)

    My plan inspired by suggestions on AF and elsewhere:

    1.) C: 1 x Samsung SSD: OS & programs

    2.) D: 1 x Samsung SSD: media Cache & Previews

    3.) x Seagate E: 1 3 to HARD drive for exports (should I buy another and raid it?)

    4.) F: 2 x WD 1TBs in Raid 0 for projects

    5.) G: 1 x Seagate 3 TB HHD for media (I would add buy another and raid it?)

    6))) < BONUS disc > I plan on running the tests to see how can I use the max RAM, and all that is not used, I am hoping to hear positive comments on make a virtual disk or a couple of them.   (I saw incredible reference points for them).  If it is recommended that could I use a virtual drive for {2 - Cache of media & Preview} or should I just use it for file exchange, cache and other temporary files? (or he renounce the total?)

    I know it's a trick question, and I'm open to other suggestions which could include buying ~ $300 in additional disks if it will increase enormously the speed and performance.

    Thank you all for reading, and I'm really looking forward to learning of your knowledge and your experience in this field!

    Mike,

    1. Check. Port SATA 6G. Add a static pagefile of 1 or 2 GB here.
    2. Check. Port SATA 6G.
    3. Check. 3G SATA port. No sense in this RAID and double the risk of data loss. Even a 25 GB export should only ± 3 minutes or less to write.
      • The time for export is spent on coding, not on writing. Why take the risk and spend money for a possible second 80-90 win on each export 25 GB? How many times do you do that?
    4. Check. SATA 6G Marvell ports. Make regular backups of your projects.
    5. Check. 3G SATA port. I would be very hesitant to raid0 from the original due to the risk of data loss.
      • X 79 platform is designed for dedicated raid controllers and RAID parity. If you need more speed, go in this direction.
    6. Forget about it. It is not practical. Windows does not start without a swap file, so it will always create a pagefile on C: dynamic if it can't find it. With 64 GB of memory the swap file will be used little or not at all. A static file of 1 GB is sufficient. Whenever you turn off your computer, the RAM disk gets erased and from the start should be newly created. This means that the cache of media must be newly created, indexing, compliant and creation of peakfiles must be made whenever you open a project. This time lost far outweighs the potential gain of a faster RAM drive.

  • T61p: Install Windows XP Corsair SSD-&gt; "no drives found".

    Lenovo T61p

    I want to install Windows XP SP3 on a new Corsair X 64 SSD. The drive is recognized in the BIOS and the BIOS diagnostic program reports also no errors.

    But the Windows installation stops with the error message "no drives found". I've already put control SATA Mode "compatibility"!

    Any ideas?

    Christian

    Hello Ford,

    Thank you very much for the detailed help. I've fiddled around with the BIOS, some settings and whoops IMO all of sudden the drive was recognized. I think that, if I remember correctly, that change has been after I disabled the quick start option.

    Eventually I could reset the compatibility mode and take advantage of the full speed. I am really impressed by the speed improvement.

  • How uninstall Nero Burning ROM when I have not installed?

    I'm trying to upgrade to Vista 64 - bit to Windows 7 64 bit. Update Advisor gave me the fire, but the actual installation always stops on the compatibility report, which tells me that I need to uninstall Nero Burning ROM. So far, I have:

    • uninstalled all my computer Nero products
    • has run the disk check
    • tried to uninstall Nero on start diagnosis
    • tried to run the Nero clean tool
    • reinstalled and uninstalled a trial version of Nero
    all to nothing not done - I always get the same message according to the compatibility report. Any ideas what the problem might be, or am I'll have to do a fresh install?
    Thanks in advance.

    Do a search in the registry using "Nero" as the word 'find '.

    Also a file and the folder of looking for the names of files or content of files which contain 'Nero '.

  • How to move CS 5.5 Master Collection to a new computer

  • Conditional display of HTML5

    APEX 4.2 theme 25 DB Oracle 11 GR 2 - I need to conditionally display Html5/Flash graphic areas depending on the browser compatibility, does anyone have ideas on how to do this. Thanks in advance.

    Hi rich,

    With APEX 4.2, we integrated AnyChart 6 cards that gives users the ability to create graphs of HTML5 and Flash graphics. Something to note is that Flash graphic 4.2 automatically use the AnyChart rendering type "FLASH_PREFERRED": http://anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/users-guide/migration-guide.html#from-5.1.x-to-6.x-rendering-types. This setting means that when Flash is available, the table will be rendered in Flash. However, when the Flash is not available, the table will be rendered under HTML5. It is an automatic failover with the parameter "FLASH_PREFERRED". This will therefore remove potentially your need to conditionally display the graphic regions based on browser compatibility.

    Kind regards

  • W520 replacing motherboard compatibility

    I have a W520 with an i7 2760QM Quadro 1000 m and the 4 RAM slots, a couple of weeks, he died on me. He took for an assessment of the repair - I was told that the motherboard was dead and that the repair costs would be, for lack of a better word, obscene. Even the guy who ran the diagnosis had never seen a quote anywhere close to coming as high as what it finds for mine. I could buy at least four W520s refurbished for the price of this mobo.

    So I thought I could just grab a mobo online and do a DIY repair, except for the specific part, I've been quoted on (RUF 04W2036) seems to be almost impossible to find. However there seems to be a lot of mobos W520 circulate with various replaceable units on site (04W2024, 04W2035, 04W2040, etc etc etc) that AFAICT look identical. I took a quick look around forums and saw nothing about this specific mobo serial, so I wonder if all or some or only the 04W2036 specific FRU for my specific configuration of the W520 could be used to make a repair. What is the difference between all of these varieties of mobos? The only thing I can think of that would separate this specific mobo seriously would be to have 4 RAM slots instead of the typical 2, but one of them would be consistent I would be more than willing to sacrifice some locations if it meant avoiding a repair job that costs more than the laptop brand new three years ago.

    Nice day.

    If you don't already have it, you can download your Manual material:

    http://download.Lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/PC/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/t520_t520i_w520_hmm_en_0A60078_08.PDF

    135-137 pages show a number of maps of W520 system, with some indicators of differences, which appear to be permutations of: nVidia Quadro 1000 M and 2000 M, + / AMT, + / TPM and + / RAID.

    FRU P/N 04W2036 is specified as: "Nvidia Quadro 1000 M, non - AMT, TPM, no RAID adapter.

    For reference:

    04W2040 only differs by RAID.

    04W2035 differs by the Quadro 2000 M, AMT and RAID, but no TPM module.

    04W2024 is indicated on page 134, but he is listed as being for the T520.

    Finally, using 04W2036 on the site of maintenance parts:

    http://www-304.IBM.com/shop/Americas/webapp/WCS/stores/servlet/default/PromotionDisplay?promoName=PA...

    shows the part as in stock. You can take a look and compare the price for what you have been quoted.

    Does that help?
