Hard drive / SSD for After Effects optimization

Hey everybody! Anyway, I wonder how to optimize my setup disk for After Effects. I don't know if the answer to this changes between AE versions we will just look at CS5.5 and CS6.

My configuration:

I7 - 3930 k OC had to 4.5 GHz

48 GB of RAM (1866-999-24)

EVGA GTX 770 4 GB classified

120 GB SATA II SSD for drive C (operating system and programs, nothing else. Not even games)

240GB SATA III SSD to scratch your files (50 GB reserved) and output

500 GB (7200 RPM) HARD drive for media files (mainly AVCHD)

3 TB external backup (not used when editing)

My system already works pretty fast for what I do, but if the upgrade of my Sata II SSD or replace my HDD with a SSD would be me give another significant boost in speed, then I'm all for it. I doubt it would be nowhere near as well an increase in my last two upgrades well. The GTX 770 gave me a 3. 5 x for my projects 3D rendering speed boost from 16 GB to 48GB of RAM gave me 5.5 x ram preview speed boost. Regardless, I'm always looking for every ounce of power out my hardware because less time editing is more time with the family.

Given my current setup. Should I change how I use my current readers or buy an another SSD to replace one of my existing records? I already intend to buy a Samsung 840 EVO 500 GB SSD, but if he won't really matter so I just pass on it.

Oh, I also use first Pro CS5.5 frequently. Not sure if that changes anything.

Thank you!

Eric

EDIT: Just found a link that helps the configuration of disk for Premiere Pro (below), but I'm still having a hard time finding how to optimize my disk configuration, as each reader is capable of a different speed. My fastest drive is drive C, the drive or the disk cache / scratch?

https://forums.Adobe.com/thread/662972

Put the cache of AE on the SSD drive folder. The media cache will follow other media applications cache settings. That's all you need to worry about really. The Directory Windows Temp Variable is of course the operating system if it's a SSD this way.

  • Tecra S3: SATA hard drive not recognized after XP updates

    Windows has recently completed an automatic update on a Tecra S3 equipped with a 60 GB HARD drive SATA.
    After the reboot required for updaates windows generates a BSOD.

    I've traced the error and found that the system can not find the hard drive.
    Even when I use the XP cd and restore/repair console without a hard drive is located.

    When I check the BIOS hard drive is there.
    I removed the hard drive and used an external case and determined that the hard drive works fine.

    Hello

    Tecra S3 supports RAID.
    In order to install Win XP RAID driver is needed!

    The RAID driver can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.
    It s a v 1.01.0005 for Win XP.

    You can include the RAID driver using nLite. This free tool allows you to include the RAID driver in the Win XP disc.

  • 15 - n259se: hard drive SSD update

    Hello

    I recently bought this laptop (15-n259se) and have been impressed in all of his performances. I plan to upgrade its HDD to the SSD. I've read a lot about this on the forum here but had a few questions before I have eventually go ahead.

    I checked the manual of the product with the product below and could only found that its uses a SATA port.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04438537

    Thus, the Samsung EVO 850 (500 GB) will work on this system?

    As the hard drive for this laptop is not easily accessible by the user, another thing I read here that you can replace the DVDRom with a caddy and then install SSD while retaining the original hard drive. I tried looking for a shopping cart but did not find any. Can someone let me know if there's any cart that is compatible with this system and also if there is anything that I should be informed during the implementation.

    Thank you

    See page 61 of the manual to see how the hard drive is in the laptop. You can use any interface SATA 2.5 inches in width and 7 or 9.5 mm thiick drive hard or on SSD. The Samsung 850, in my opinion, is the best on the market, then Yes, I would receommend you get.

    I don't have such good news for the caddy optical drive for a few reasons. First of all, the optical drive SATA port uses a slower SATA (SATA I) protocol because it is all that is needed by an optical drive. If you put an SSD in there you will get all the benefits quickly. In addition to this, you would be able to use the SSD for storage since if you put a hard drive or SSD in the optical drive bay that is not bootable. If you do not need the DVD player, you must put the original hard drive in the optical Bay and then put the SSD in the main location on page 61. Yes, it is not an easy thing to do and should probably be done by an experienced laptop technician. However, the manual shows all the steps, and if you are very careful, it can be done by a competent first-timer. You are questioning the warranty that I must warn you.

    It is an example of optics to the hard drive adapter that you can use:

  • Acer recovery disks do not install Windows 7 on a new hard drive SSD

    Hi all!

    I have Ace Aspire 5742 G laptop and I have problems to install the Windows 7 operating system on my new hard drive SSD (I bought the SSD because the original hard drive is defect and do all the time... blue screens)

    For the factory restore, I use the restore disks. I burned the discs a few years back when the laptop has insisted me to do (using eRecovery or something, in total 3 dvds).

    Testing of computer to install the operating system with the DVD (asked to insert a dvd and then press a key). The real problem is that the installer will just in loops, restart and eventuallyfreezing in the end...

    Restart--> Acer--> Windows logo takes over... files-> from windows-> reboot-> etc.

    Which continued for more than an hour (on the first dvd!) and all of a sudden that it froze right on screen "starting windows..." I had to restart and stars on again once.

    I can still use my old formatted HARD drive, should I do the new set of recovery disks or use a USB?

    Thanks for the answers in advance!

    So I thought (with the help of Google) that the problem was that I had installed the new DDR3 memory game. When I changed them back to the original ones (2x2gb) everything worked smoothly.

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

    After receiving an error of 10-FA12 - 054D and do not recover my laptop to zone out, I believe that I have to buy a new hard drive.

    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.

  • USB 3.0 hard drive "Unknown device" After sleeping

    I have a USB 3.0 external hard drive (1.5 to) that presents itself as 'Unknown device' recovery from my computer.  If I reboot, the drive works fine.  It occurs only after my computer goes to sleep.  I might just disable the sleep turn off hard disks, but I want to sleep/off hard drives can add some life to them and save me some powers.  I use Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit).  Also, I have my power settings so that my hard drives turn off after 45 minutes and my computer sleeps after 1 hour.

    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    I think that editing the registry in the AdditionalCriticalWorkerThreads string may have worked.  I didn't have any problems today, but I'll keep testing to make sure.

  • 32 GB or 64 GB of RAM for After Effects CC 2014?

    -All right, let's do this:

    1. System Specs:
    2. Card mother Asus X 99 Deluxe Usb 3.1
    3. 32 GB DDR4 RAM Corsair
    4. Intel i7 5960 x @ 3.0 GHZ CPU
    5. 2 x EVGA NVIDIA GTX 970 s
    6. Samsung 256 GB 850 Pro (boot drive)
    7. 1 TB Samsung 850 Pro (Cache, Source footage, rendering output, etc. By car)
    8. Seagate 2 TB HDD (backup drive)
    9. Thermaltake 1000W PSU gold
    10. Corsair H105 cooler of liquid

    So, I do create After Effects compositions really intensive (usually from 10 to 20 layers by composition) and to make use of almost all the effects, there (as the displacement of pixels, motion blur, etc.) for many of my compositions.  32GB has worked pretty well, but I recently had a problem where the computer recognizes only 8 GB of RAM; in view of this, I noticed the huge difference in performance after effects CC 2014 between 8 and 32 GB (8GB off multiprocessing, for example).  This makes me wonder... saw how intense my compositions are, 64 GB would create a noticeable difference?  I have the ability to be upgraded to 64 GB right now (optionally) for free by "scheming and business."  What types of performance gains I could expect from 32 GB to 64 GB DDR4 DDR4?

    The performance gain would be very important for After Effects. Go ahead!

    Premiere Pro (this forum) isn't really helped a lot when the RAM is updated past 32 GB, but After Effects uses RAM for previews and may even beg for more than 64 GB on systems either.

  • 750ti GTX or Radeon HD 7970 for After Effects

    Hello

    I'm building a new PC, mainly to work with After Effects, but I can't decide between the Nvidia GTX 750Ti and AMD Radeon HD 7970.

    OK, so the 750ti is more recent, but it is much lower that the 7970 HD (it has less memory, less units of the shading, lower rate of pixel, lower rate of texture, etc., etc.), but it also has a lower energy consumption (which is not really important to me). But much more is has it Nvidia Cuda, who can work in After Effects.

    So my question is: how much Cuda really helps? Is it better that a card is more powerful (in terms of all the other stats that I wrote), or is it better that it is less powerful, but Cuda?

    Thanks in advance.

    (BTW, I currently have AMD Radeon HD 7770, and I have a really weak and old, CPU that I intend to upgrade after the GPU)

    CUDA is almost completely unrelated to After Effects. It is used by an obsolete feature that is phased out.

    Details of how After Effects uses the GPU (minimum):

  • Best new Mac for After Effects

    I am a composer who works with After Effects and am in the market for a new computer. I'm trying to decide between an iMac (3.5 GHz quad-core i7, 8 to 32 GB of RAM, 3 TB Drive, NVIDIA GTX 780 M 4 GB GDDR5 Fusion) and a Mac Pro (3.7 GHz quad core, 12 to 64 GB of RAM, 256 GB to 1 TB of storage flash and Dual AMD over-pants D300 with 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM GPU each/D500/D700-3 GB 6 GB). I was expecting some tips on the Mac Pro is worth the additional investment for After Effects - the software will take advantage of the extra power, or an iMac will be sufficient?

    After Effects is a program of CPU load and memory. The MacPro is faster, more scalable and more capable in all directions over the long term. Take any money you can save on the GPU and spend it on ram, buy some storage external thunderbolt, a table if you can afford it. External storage is a good idea for any system. The iMac will be a GPU capable or traced to the given radius, but it is a very slight advantage for a very limited type of project that will be of little benefit in the grand scheme of things.

  • i5 - 3210M for After Effects?

    The 2.5 GHz i5 - 3210M processor will be able to run smothly After Effects? I mean edit videos HD or Full HD (recorded with Galaxy Nexus) with VFX smoke, fire, rain, wind and so on? I know the best processor for AE is an i7, but the computer that actually goes with me (all the components and design) has an i5 - 3210M and I want to know if he will be able to run with AE. Thank you

    > Your effects will come via your vid card. Your processor does help them, but not all, only if you don't have a video card.

    It is completely wrong.

    The GPU does nothing to speed up the processing of the effects. The processor treats all the effects.

    The CPU is much, much more important than the GPU for After Effects.

    This page describes everything that the GPU does in After Effects, and there is not much:

    http://blogs.Adobe.com/AfterEffects/2012/05/GPU-CUDA-OpenGL-features-in-after-effects-CS6. HTML

    To answer the question of the origin of the poster:

    Yes, you can use an i5 processor. People did a very convincing job with less powerful processors. Just know that the trade-off is performance, and you must either learn to be patient during makes it longer or be smart about the way you plan your work and optimize performance.

  • What is the best graphic card for after effect

    Hello
    my graphics card is not supported for after effect. I'll buy a new one and I would like to know what is the best
    Thank you

    There is never a simple answer for such a question, but:
    List of cards supported for 3D Ray Tracing in AE, you will find it here: after effects configuration required for Mac OS and Windows

    More information on NVidia: Adobe after effects CC - 3D Graphics workflow | NVIDIA

    But to be honest, most of the nvidia graphics cards will work with AE - ELA easier - more Cuda cores better.
    But before you spend a lot of money for the high GPU know AE uses mainly from CPU to GPU rendering is not so important. It uses the GPU only for RayTracing (obsolete)

    and some third-party plug-ins.
