• Installation internal SSD drive and storage of documents on external hard drive

  Hello!

  I have an older iMac and I want to speed it up by installing a SSD drive.  Currently, my internal hard drive has 2 TB of storage, and I don't want to pay for one SSD of this size.  I consider the use of an external drive for my files and using the SSD internal applications and the operating system.  Can this work?  What is the internal SSD of minimum size I should get, more or less, according to my number of apps?   The documents will open at a decent speed?   It is up to me to use an external hard drive with a Firewire instead of USB connection?  Thank you!

  Hi Dan:

  Apps it really depends how much you use and what types of data you want to keep in vs SSD HARD drive.

  120-128 GB SSD: USD price: 60-70 price range.

  for 250/256 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 80-90

  for 500/512 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 130-150

  An external 2 TB drive: for laptop (USB bus-powered - usually 2.5 "HDD included): 90 us $, for the largest 3.5" Office style HDD: 90 USD

  For me:

  I store all my music on the external network drive (RAID 1 configuration, 2 TB, and 50 percent full this time), all my documents/pictures are still in my 500 GB SSD.

  I don't have much video projects on my SSD.

  

  I used about 200 GB in my internal SSD flash drive

  Good luck finding your best solution.

• Driver RAID WXP Neer and CISS for my Satellite C650 - 10K

  Anyone know where I can find the driver Raid and CISS for my Satellite C650 - 10K?

  Hey Buddy,

  Are you sure you need to RAID or SCSI (not SSCI) for Satellite C650 driver?
  As far as I know this model doesn't support this type of material

  I think that you need drivers for the SATA controller. This package is called Intel Storage Manager and can be downloaded from the official website of Toshiba.

  Here is an interesting article on installing XP with SATA drivers:

• How to get links into folders to drive C (startup disk) to refer to items stored on drive D (storage only)?

  Good afternoon.

  My apologies for what is probably a very simple question, but unfortunately I've had encephalytis, have a very bad memory and if forgot a lot of my computer knowledge since the last set up a new computer several years ago.

  Perhaps unsurprisingly, I count a lot on IT with my State and so decided to update my old computer with something faster and capable. I built myself a new computer recently, with two disks in mirror of SS for initializing and launching the software, as I wanted the fastest answer for these functions. Then I have two hard drives mirrored 10 000 rpm, which I intend to use only for storage - documents, photos, music... etc. This system has Windows 7 Professional installed.

  This is where my memory is me drop.

  I need to know how to start the shortcuts from the menu links and desktop which currently refer to the 'My Documents', 'My music', 'My videos' records and so forth that Windows created on the C drive and instead, ask them to refer to folders on the drive D. I tried the expediency of simple cut and paste the files in question in D drive hoping that Windows would automatically follow that change and create the links required, but this does not seem to happen. In any case, doing so caused problems, and I needed wipe the readers and to reload the operating system and all of my software again.

  Moreover, that Windows has already been reference to the files on the C drive, is possible to keep this association - as this is what Windows expects and would likely stop the least - but create links between files on drives C and D, so that when the folders on drive C are accessible through my desktop shortcuts they refer to the content of the folders on drive D? If possible, I would greatly appreciate a detailed guide, step by step on how to implement, as I can just remember how to do this.

  Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much

  Stephen Wallace.

  Moving most of the shell, such as My Documents/photos/music/videos folders, should automatically update the location.  For example, if you drag the My Documents folder to another drive, it will go there.  You can still see the icon under C:\Users\Stephen\, but all the files you put in there will reside on the other disk.

  Another way to accomplish the same task is right click on the shell folder, choose Properties, and then move it to the location tab.
  Another option is the Windows 7 libraries.  You can create your own folder on your drive to another, then right click on your document library to include this file and use it as for the library's default save location.  Every time that you save in the library, he actually be saved on the other drive, yet easily accessible in the library.
  • I have an example on my site on the use of SkyDrive as a default save location so that the files that you store in your library will actually store up to storage online instead.  The same steps to configure your other drive as storage location.  See the steps or watch the video here: http://skeene.net/tech/sync-your-libraries-to-skydrive/

• General questions After Effects

  Hi all

  I have some general questions of After Effects:

  -J' bought some model videohive.net and when I open it, legacy projects

  converts them. It of quite OK, but is it the the ability to hide this message.

  -I'm a bit confused on "after effects multiprocessing. It took me about 3 hours to search the

  NET to know, that I still have no idea if I should active it or not. It comes to my computer:

  PhenomX4 955 (Quad Core) AMD

  8 GB RAM

  60 GB SSD

  Windows 7

  NVIDIA GTX 580

  Should I use multiprocessing? Currently my settings under "Memory & multiprocessing" are

  "Reserved for other applications of RAM: 1.5 GB" (available for AE 6, 5 GB)

  "Reserved for other applications processors: 0".

  "Allocation of RAM per CPU of background: 2GB.

  "Real CPU that will be used: 2.

  When I work in After Effects, I don't use other programs at the same time.

  In addition to these questions, I am very satisfied with this product!

  Probably not, but it depends on the plug-ins used in the project.

  For MP to work you need to at least 2 GB by heart, but you can not say what setteings are the best unless you try some different combinations. Set up a test project that is typical of your workflow that only lasts about 5 seconds. Try a few different settings about allocate 2 GB for each CPU (in the RAM available for the AE control). The interface is a little confusing, but here's a configuration that works on my laptop.

  

  Take a look at the RAM reserved for other applications, the CPU for other applications and the allocation of Ram per CPU background. I use as much ram as I can for AE but leaving a 1.5 GB for other applications. This leaves 6.5 GB available for Adobe applications. If I let 2GB for other applications and he leavs 6 Adobe which is right on the edge of breakdown 3 processors. If I put select 2 GB of Ram processor used actual distribution falls to 0 and make once we pass 01:17 by MP 2 minutes offshore. If I try to return all 4 cores my render time is the best time of 48 seconds at 58 with no other apps open. This represents an increase of about 20%. If I switch to another application while rendering with all 4 cores used to render times will at 01:48. Remember that the render time for my test with off multiprocessing computer is 01:17 so MP allows for most of the projects.

  I guess the point is that you should pay attention to what happens to the actual CPU used and run tests. As I said at the beginning, some effects are not aware of MP and allowing of multiple chassis treatment can slow down the system or cause a malfunction.

  I hope this helps.

• 8 drive raid 5 or 50, and SATA3 vs SATA2

  Have a SATA3 RAID with SATA3 readers card will be significantly higher then a SATA2 RAID/HD configuration? Or if I have enough disks in a RAID, SATA2 disks will be good enough?

  If I have 8 drives on a RAID card (I have the Adaptec 6805 in mind), regardless if it is SATA2 or SATA3 and whatever the final capacity, it is advantageous to have a 8 RAID-5 disk (7 data + 1 parity) performance, or 8 drive RAID-50 (3 data + 1 parity), multiplied by 2?

  Regarding storage benefits, in a reasonable 'ideal' world, having an 8 drive RAID, it will be perfect to have everything in the same RAID (apart from the disk to Boot and applications, of course). Or be a separate RAID (4 x cheap HDs in RAID-0, for example) for export, Cache and swap file, something which is better?  On the other hand, if I already have 12 drives in the case, would not be a single disc 12 RAID handle all the necessary flow?

  PS: I work a lot with uncompressed 4:2:2 10-bit, image sequences and sequences of AVC-Intra. Where my band need disk bandwidth.

  Frederic,

  The main difference between on one hand and raid3 raid5 / raid4 however is distributed by report dedicated to parity.

  All three raid formats are very good, but in some cases, it may be preferred over the other.

  What is the difference between dedicated or distributed parity?

  In the case of distributed parity, a reconstruction of the table requires W actions on all players.

  In the case of dedicated parity, a rebuild will require actions on all drives minus one W.

  For that reason, the reconstruction will be more effective with a dedicated with distributed parity parity. RAID3/4 are more effective with new buildings than raid5.

  ATTO is a rather unknown to consumers, but they are the only one to offer raid4.

  Areca is relatively well known, even among consumers and are the only ones offering raid3.

  You mentioned 12 discs, so with this in mind, I made my suggestion for an alternative configuration.

• H200A PERC. SAS and SATA. Simple 2 extra HARD drives raid. Possible?

  Hello.
   
  Research in the server rack dell R210 II.
   
  Added records 2 x 300 GB SAS with a PERC H200A raid controller.
  The other two empty drive bays im looking to transfer courses two SATA 2.5 "HARD disk drives. Ive read you can mix SATA and SAS drives, is this true?
   
   
  I have two options to the raid configuration:
   
  the raid controller would be able to support two raid 1 RAID. 1 for the SAS drives and the other for the two SATA drives?   Operating system can see two disks.
   
  He would support a raid 1 for hard 1 & 2 discs.  Then with disk HARD 3 & 4 show the HARD drive directly on the server.  OS sees thre readers.  The drive in question and two others.
   
   
  I tried the dell chat, but could not get anywhere, as the helpdesk agent does not seem to know that you can google some caddy and buy the caddy to adapt to discs with no carts.

  [murmur] I'm wrong :), but I think the H200 supported not RAID, so if left unconfigured, the disks will be seen by the operating system as the person/no RAID disks.  Also, if I am wrong not :), the H200 supports a maximum of 2 virtual drives, so would not work two 1-disk RAID 0 and a RAID 1 (in fact, it probably won't allow you to create a single drive RAID 0 in all).

• Satellite Pro P300: Need driver "Mass storage controller" of Vista 64-bit

  Hi, please help.

  I just upgraded my laptop from Windows Vista 32 bit Vista 64-bit.

  I managed to find all the drivers apart: the driver "Mass storage controller" (yellow exclamation in Device Manager).

  I don't know where to look for this driver.

  Any help would be appreciated. Al

  Hello

  I guess you didn't search in the forum for similar issues? Is this good?
  I think that I m straight because I searched the forum and found that Toshiba FAQ doc.

  + No driver Windows XP for PCI Memory Controller +.
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB83023N0000R01.htm

  Here you can find this text passage:
  After the installation of Windows XP, there might be a yellow exclamation by a "PCI memory controller" or * "Mass storage controller" * in Device Manager.

  _Solution: _
  This unit is probably the module of Robson former Turbo Memory.
  This material will be supported only by Windows Vista.
  There is therefore no Windows XP driver.

  Now, everything should be clear ;)

• Camileo load problem (solved) and a general question!

  Hi all!

  First of all, I was going to ask for help as to why the Camileo S10 wasn't supported (the orange light was not blinking) and I had seen a few people with similar problems.
  The solution?

  Give the contacts of the battery clean.
  The sticker of insulation that comes on it must leave some kind of residue on it, and just avoid the charges. [Now it blinks far fortunately:]

  So my general question was, is it possible/desirable to use the camera on the network?
  Instead of constantly drain and recharge the battery during long shoots, I prefer to leave it plugged!

  Thank you very much in advance!

  Paul

  Hello

  I think that the handling of the battery is always the same, regardless of what product it is
  From time to time the battery must be recalibrated.

  This means that the battery should be completely discharged and then after you need to load it again until the battery could reach 100%

  I do this with all my batteries; laptop battery, laptop battery and battery of digi cam.

• Order General questioning of IEC 60870-5-104

  Dear all,

  I use the NI Communications toolkit to create slave IEC 60870-5-104 (station controlled).

  I use s/w of Triangel microworks part and use it as the master for the same. I am able to send and receive the bulk of orders with the examples provided with the Toolkit to "C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\examples\IEC60870-5,

  I am not able to find a way to capture the "questioning general command" from the server.

   

  Can someone help me how to proceed with this.

  Thank you.

  Hi Frabto,

  The development team has had some great insights below. I have bad informed you (sorry!) behavior, that the command general question should be processed automatically in the communication stack.

  First the order of query sent to control the station may request the complete(station interrogation) or a subset (group interview) of all the data points on the control station. NEITHER 60870-5 to the command station supports the command when the control station receives an order of questioning of the station, it will reply with all the values of the data points. If the Group interrogation command, it will reply with the values of the data points that belong to the group. Users are not able to detect whether the query command is received or not, is automatically handled inside the battery, it allows users of the VI called "Set Group.vi" inside the VI polymorphic "set Property.vi" to set a point to be one of the 16 groups and you can see the usage with the example 'Interrogate information in Group.vi objects' in the folder of the example 60870-5.

  You shouldn't need to do anything to respond to a command of the interrogation. The station will automatically answer. I hope that I did not cause you too much confusion on this point.

• Some General Questions of CVI - how does the compiler

  Hello

  I work with CVI 9.1 for more then a year during this time i ' v noticed a couple things, I would like to help me to understand.

  1. Work with several C files:
  • When I'm writing a software that uses lets say C files and files of 10 H 10: Main.c Main.h File1.c File1.h Panels.h Panels.uir and so on... I'm implementation of the function in the c file and its deceleration of writing in the file h, i ' v noticed that sometimes I get msgs of the compiler on the conflicts, maybe there's a way I know not just for the CVI?
  • Works correctly with the file UIR for example lets take the files written above, if I have sign - HAND and control led1 and I want to do SetCtrlVal in the Main.c I can implement as this SetCtelVal(MAIN,MAIN_LED1,1); but when I go to file1.c and try to do it, I get the error message that main_led1 is not a control value (I included the Panels.h) this problem happens to me a lot is there a solution? or maybe I am doing something wrong...
  • What is the best way to implement bollean var (true false) for the software? is it possible to add this var always?
  • decelerations of incompatible type: allows you to take the Fmt function for example when I'm trying to use it in another file, I get the decelerations of incompatible type with the names of the files...
  • General question: lets say I want to include in my project and I want to use its features in main.c and file1.c, I included in two files? or there is a way to include it in a single file only?

  2. to access the buttons

  • lets say that I have buttons and I am pressing on it after pressing the button I have a loop for 10 min, I want to create a button give up, but I can't press anything because the keys are "locked out" is there a way besides multi threading to implement this?

  Wow! A very broad set of issues!

  A quick response.

  • Works correctly with the file UIR for example lets take the files written above, if I have sign - HAND and control led1 and I want to do SetCtrlVal in the Main.c I can implement as this SetCtelVal(MAIN,MAIN_LED1,1); but when I go to file1.c and try to do it, I get the error message that main_led1 is not a control value (I included the Panels.h) this problem happens to me a lot is there a solution? or maybe I am doing something wrong...

  There is a basic error in your statement: the first (SetCtrlVal) parameter must be the handle Panel, which is the reference to the object in memory that is created when you call LoadPanel (). Using the name of constant sign is not correct: it may work if you're lucky and you have the Panel handle with the same value as the name of the constant, but this certainly isn't the correct way to address on a panel controls.

  Even if I don't understand the error that you declare: I expect 'the control is not of the type expected by the function' or an error of inconsistent data type (like passing an int to double check) or...

  Remember that each function that processes objects on a Panel must be aware of the handful of Panel, then either you pass to the function as a parameter, or store it in a global variable.

  • decelerations of incompatible type: allows you to take the Fmt function for example when I'm trying to use it in another file, I get the decelerations of incompatible type with the names of the files...

  I normally leave CVI #including the necessary system files: when I use certain functions like Fmt in a source file and compile ICB warns me to add the relevant include file, and it does it correctly. Operating in this way I never had problems with formatting and the I/o library functions. You can rebuild the inclusion list by removing all #includes in yous source files and compilation of the project, this should correct errors

  • General question: lets say I want to include in my project and I want to use its features in main.c and file1.c, I included in two files? or there is a way to include it in a single file only?

  You must include the file containing the definitions of the functions in all source files that use. Or you can create a general include file with all included in your project and include only this one in all of your source files

  • lets say that I have buttons and I am pressing on it after pressing the button I have a loop for 10 min, I want to create a button give up, but I can't press anything because the keys are "locked out" is there a way besides multi threading to implement this?

  It is a general rule that animates the CVI environment: during the execution of a loop inside a function (a reminder of command or another function) the system does not handle the user interface events, so that your buttons appear locked. This can be solved by adding a call repeated (ProcessSystemEvents) inside the loop: this way of all UI events are monitored and managed by the system.

  You must use this method with caution: before entering the loop, you must disable all the controls that can be used during operation (normally only the Quit button should stay active) otherwise, you can enter a situation in which other callbacks are executed during the loop that might interfere with it.

  In such a case, do not put a reminder in the stop button and the use of a global variable I have normally create a toggle button Stop and manipulate it in this way:

  While (1) {}

  ....

  ProcessStemsEvents ();

  GetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_STOP, &stop);)

  If {(stop)

  ... gracefully out of the function

  break;

  }

  }

  This argument has been discussed several times in the forums: do a search for ProcessSystemEvents returns a large number of discussions you can read

  • What is the best way to implement bollean var (true false) for the software? is it possible to add this var always?

  CVI is not a native boolean value. I used to use an int and test weather it is zero or not

  • When I'm writing a software that uses lets say C files and files of 10 H 10: Main.c Main.h File1.c File1.h Panels.h Panels.uir and so on...

• General questions about errors in eventvwr

  Greetings.

  I have a general question about some failed modules are stored in the Windows Event Viewer.

  An error leading to the crashes some applications that I've seen several times now when supporting computer problems is something like this:
  (Windows error reporting) Fault bucket, Type 0, name of the event: PCA2, (...) P1: application.exe, (...)

  I wonder what this 'PCA2. Which is a kind of module Windows handles tasks such as allocating memory or smth. Like this? What could be the cause of these errors (physical memory problems / corrupt swap file / insufficient rights?)

  Same Question for the application falls down because of "kernelbase.dll" as in:
  (Application error) Failing application: application.exe, Version: 0.0.0.0, (...) Failed module: KERNELBASE.dll, Version: 6.1.7601.18015, (...) Path of the failing module: C:\Windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll (...)

  What is the .dll file and what could possibly cause kernelbase.dll Fault?

  The application can be a bit buggy, but I wonder what could possibly cause these accidents and if there is a way to fix these problems - or what dev did wrong.

  The two errors occur mainly on x 64 systems - especially Windows 7/vista

  Kind regards

  With application errors, the application is called everything first and the module he collaborated with is named second. Normally you should try to reinstall the application if you see not to repeat the mistakes. If this does not work, you go to the forum on the application to see if other users see the same error. There may be a bug in the application.

  The observer of the Application event log contains Information reports (event ID: 1001) for errors where the details were sent to Microsoft for review. You will find that there are corresponding to the event ID: 1000 reports errors, either in the system or Application logs. These reports are also included in the center of the Action. Center type action in the area of research above the Start button and press ENTER. Click on the arrow pointing downwards to the right of Maintenance, and then click view reliability history. The errors reported are the Red orbs with a white cross. You can search for solutions to problems, but occasionally you get a significant response from Microsoft.

  I can't tell you what it means PCA2. Google did not find a significant result. The reports themselves are not unintelligible, although I have never tried to understand the meaning of a particular report. I have extracted what, in my view, is a starting point of two reports:
  Event name: PCA2 = P1: motherboard_utility_onoffchargesetup.exe P2: 4.65.0.0

  Event name: PCA2 = P1: setup.exe P2: 11.0.0.28844

  You have the app in the boredom and the version of the file. These details have been extracted a file of information system to a computer with a card mother Gigabyte. So, you see I have a starting point, if I wanted to determine the cause of a failure.

  I will say before you go dive deep into each event ID: 1001 report that many are not easy to even begin to understand. However, they can provide useful clues.

  KERNELBASE.dll is likely to be the module with which the application works. You need to focus on the application.  KERNELBASE is probably preceded by P3 or P4 in the report?
