Hardware configuration for the catalog, previews and the RAWs?

Hi all.

For the past 2 years I've been running a retina 27 "iMac with 512 GB SSD, because it is the essential motivation.

My catalog, previews and RAWs have all been on a connected USB3 SSD 1 TB and backed up with time machine to 2 TB drive HARD USB3.

Now all 3 of my discs are at capacity.

Historically I've shot with a D800 the D810 so the raws were huge. Now, I'm moving to an X - T2.

The easy answer is to move the SSD to 2 TB SSD and the TM drive to a 4 GB ext USB disk, which should buy me a few years.

Maybe another option is to invest in a 4-Bay NAS, stick 4x4gb operates to and use the batch for the backup storage and image TM.

What do you think guys? even if I'm running a processor i7 and 32 GB of RAM, sake still images second or 2 to appear in my current setup, I really don't want them to appear all slower. It was suggested that I could move all the images more than a year on the NAS and keep the catalog, the previews and the latest images on the 1 TB SSD.

Curious to hear other ideas and configurations that work well.

Thanks in adv.

Since you are using a fairly recent Mac she must have a thunderbolt port, otherwise 2 of them and you can also add a USB 3 hub to connect multiple disks to your current configuration. I don't see in adding disks more large and small age of retirement. Just add another 2 disks of the same capacity. You can also get rid of some of the old Time Machine backups to free up space on the drive that you configured for Time Machine.

As far as I KNOW 99% of multiple NAS boxes drive (Bay) are thus set up a RAID array. Which would limit the overall storage capacity of this box.

The LR catalog file must also be on a drive connected directly to the computer and not on a network drive.

  • Thunderbird 38.3.0: No writable calendars are configured for the invitations with the provider for Google Calendar 1.0.4

    Hello

    I searched many hours today in the internet and your forums, but it seems that this problem is not solved yet:

    No writable calendars are configured for the invitations with the provider for Google Calendar.

    My Thunderbird is 38.3.0 and the provider for Google Calendar 1.0.4.

    I put calendar.google.enableEmailInvitations; true but it did not help. I also tried [email protected]... @googlemail.com. Calendar works fine, it syncs, I see all the entries etc. But I can't accept invitations even IF she must have write access.

    What can I do? Is there a solution for this?

    Thank you!
    Daniel

    Use CalDAV here to access Google Calendar via lightning. I have no experience with the add-on of the provider.
    In any case, it is my understanding that you must assign an e-mail address to a calendar in order to be able to accept the invitations for this calendar. I see that in your screenshot.
    You can try to remove the Google calendar in lightning and re-create it. Given that all the data is on the server nothing will get lost.
    Or you may want to try CalDAV.

  • How can I remove guest account configured for the administrator?

    I tried to add a second user account on my computer and I blew it. My main user account is now defined as a standard account and no matter how many times I click the button to set it as an administrator account that he will not save these settings. The guest account (which I want to delete) is defined as an administrator account and it wont let me save it as a standard account, because there is no other administrator accounts. Even when I try to create a new account just to see what he would do he tells me that he cannot accept some of the characters that I use for the name of the account, even if it's just 5 letters, so I can't even create the new account.

    I have no idea what's going on with my user settings, but I want to just that everything back to how it was before... with a single main account configured for the administrator.

    Can someone help me?

    I bet that your administrator account is an admin account and your guest account is a regular account. Buttons that you look at don't tell you the State of the special consideration, but the change that you can apply. In other words, looking at the administrator account, the 'Administrator' button is highlighted not because it's already an admin account!

    Now you should do this, in the following order:
    1. Create a CD to repair Windows via Control Panel / backup and restore. People like you who make their own PC maintenance need.
    2. Test the CD.
    3. Create, test, and document an admin account to spare, even you have a spare House key.
    4. Disable the guest account.
  • Configuration for the Exchange Server issue

    I have a question on an Exchange Server, I noticed that one of my Exchange servers has 4 partitions spanning 2 hard drives and a parition of M which is 55GO, but that does not appear in disk management. M partition contains the domain folder, the mailbox databases are on the D: drive. How will I know how much I really voicemails of disk space? And this configuration is supported?

    Chris

    The "M" 'virtual' drive that resides on Exchange (55 additional GB, its representation is not just messages of real exchange located on who will drive you have configured for the mail store).

    Another pattern on this drive "M":

    The default for this reader is the reader of 'm', but if you manually created a "M" drive before installing Exchange will change to another drive available. It is now recommended to 'disable' this disc.

    Run the "Best Practices Analyzer Tool" on the Exchange Server and it will find any question you should change. To turn off virtual drive is one he'll find and indicate what registry entry to change:

  • Invalid configuration for the device 3

    Hi all

    I have set up a lab nested with three hosts esxi and two warehouses of data connected with the Microsoft iscsi target server. I know nested vm is not supported, but I'm trying to implement this workshop because I support a real VMware environment and I wish I could test some things before I break anything, so it's important. I get this error when you try to create a virtual machine "invalid configuration for the device 3.  Someone knows how can I know where is the problem?

    Thank you

    I think I can find the answer, it seems that it could be a windows problem causing data corruption. Somehow I created a VM but get all kinds of error trying to create an another VM.  Iscsi targets set up using windows server 2012 and it seems that there is a fix from Microsoft below which deals with corruption LUNs in windows 2012.  I have not yet tested, but this seems to be the right direction. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2908783

  • How install CC Photoshop and Lightroom does affect my current catalogs, previews and caches?

    I'll subscribe to the Adobe Creative cloud photography Plan. How can I keep (import?) and use my current catalogs, previews and caches of my current installation of Lightroom? Or will I have to start again once installed the new version of Lightroom CC?

    If you are currently using Lightroom 5 then switch to the creative cloud is really simple. There are those who say that it is not necessary to move to Lightroom downloaded from the creative cloud. But I did it. I use Windows, so I used the standard uninstall process to uninstall my standalone Lightroom. Then I installed Lightroom from the creative cloud. Once the installation is complete there is an icon for Lightroom (just like the other because it's the same program) on my desk. I double clicked on the icon and Lightroom opens the same catalog I used everything I had done before was still in place. You see, the catalogue and the previews and all other files are user files generated by Lightroom on your computer. But they are not part of the Lightroom program. So removing the Lightroom program does nothing to your catalog, previews or the preview cache. It is precisely the same program. This is just a license differently.

    If you use Lightroom 4 then 5 Lightroom you will find the catalog you used and invite you to allow him to create an updated copy of it that is consistent with the new database format. It is no different than the upgrade of the stand-alone version. So the short answer is that you should not lose all your work of switching.

  • LR has been impossible to export the catalog previews and negative

    My first post in this forum.  I want to delete all of my iMac to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard and then charge back.  First job is to "Export as catalog" all my photos (about 6000) since the Mac to an external hard drive (Maxtor OneTouch 4Plus, 450 GB of available).  I tried 6 or 7 times and each time getting a similar message - see line object.  I deleted unnecessary files, managed to get rid of unused keywords and exported 2000 odd of my previous pictures in JPEG format to archive in order to reduce the volume.  I reloaded LR and updated to 2.6.  In the export dialog box, I ticked 'Export negative files' and 'include available Previews.  Export gets to about three-quarters of the way through each time until I get the error message and I have to give up.

    Appreciate any assistance.

    Raymond
    Melbourne, Australia

    All THE PHOTOS is included in your LR folder hierarchy?  If this isn't the case, then you must click the right button (or whatever the equivalent of Mac) on one of the folders in your hierarchy of LR and choose to include the Parent folder.  Once you have done this and everything copied, you can file missing just locate on a high back and you will find everything under it.  If you have not the parent folder in LR before copying, you will need to locate the missing files on each of the top-level folders.

    Once you have copied your pictures, you can rename your local copy of all THE PHOTOS to make sure that you do not accidentally, and then locate the missing folder to make sure it works on the remote location.

    Once you are satisfied with your catalog is to see all distance and when you're ready, copy your catalog and your previews and backup folders above and rename the local copy of the Lightroom to open accidentally this copy of the catalog, even once.  I copy things, instead of moving them, in case something happens, you can start over.

    If you immediately update your mac, then copy all three documents, other than iChat ones, pictures on your remote disc and open the remote catalog and find files while missing only one.  I suggest take only pictures, first of all, in case you want to continue to work on the pictures, the local copy of the catalogue will be faster, but if you're ready to upgrade, then simply make all copies at the same time.  All THE PHOTOS and excerpts will be time-consuming copies, catalog, itself, will not take very long.

  • Configuration for the Extension of the airport by using ' 09 Extreme

    My Airport Extreme Base Station, model A1354, does not offer adequate coverage of my house. Instead of buying a Netgear N600 Extender, I bought an Airport Express, model A1382, to replace the base station with the intention of using the 1354 as expansion connected wireless station.  People at OKC Apple store assured me it is possible, but without knowing how. They said that I could depend on the support line Apple help me configure this system.  So... "' Help me please.

    (a) should what camera I use for the base station? The new device extreme Express or 2009?

    (a) should what camera I use for the base station? The new device extreme Express or 2009?

    For your 'main' base station, one directly connected to the Internet by Ethernet modem, I suggest that you use your older AirPort Extreme Base Station, and then use the new Airport Express to extend.

    (b) should what steps I take to the rendering system a full-coverage protected WEP?

    WEP is an outdated wireless security method and has practically no value. Are you sure this is what you want or can go you with the safer: WPA2 for your Wi - Fi network?

  • How to disable hardware acceleration for the only area?

    Firefox is a great product and I had not any problems so far that I couldn't solve... but:

    Microsoft updated the interface of Hotmail user, Firefox will crash now, whenever I have send an email from this site. This can be "solved" by disabling hardware acceleration, but I don't want to have to endure the inconvenience of it just because of a site... My graphics driver is updated.

    So my question: is it possible to create a work around for this problem? I doubt that the hardware acceleration may be disabled for a single site, but maybe there is a way that allows me to start a new instance of Firefox without hardware acceleration or something like that so I don't have to not go to options, turn off, restart Firefox, check/send emails, go to options again and restart again... any ideas?

    Hello, Bloodthorn, sorry, but the hardware acceleration may NOT be disabled for a single site (and I would like that too if possible), try Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition and disable hardware acceleration in a portable version.

    Thank you

  • How can I change the configuration for the output channels analog on a PXI-6704?

    I can't seem to understand how to access the configuration of the channels to the outputs analog (channel 33 and 35) for PXI-6704.

    This piece of test equipment is out of tolerance and must be calibrated.

    I have followed the procedure of calibration http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374081b.pdf, but am getting hung up on step 8, where it is said to repeat steps 4-7 when changing the _cal_ao_current_offset. I can't figure out how to open this channel because it is not listed as a physical channel for step 5.

    I'm using Labview 7.1

    Thank you

    Hello! What you need to do is to add 'Internal channels' to your list of channels, so you can choose the _cal_ao_current_offset or _cal_ao_voltage_offset.  This is done through the drop-down list channel right click and select "I/o name of screening...". ».  There will be a check box that says 'Internal channels' and will provide you with all available internal channels to enter your vi Create Channel.  I have attached some photos illustrating how to do. See you soon!

  • CPL configuration for the handling of source on VCS - E

    Hi all
    When we tried to have a video call with an external company on the VCS - E, the address IP of CUCM appear in the distant field rather end when making external calls.

    It occurs because the SIP URI field on the sx device interface has completed our IP CUCM ( [email protected]/ * /)

    We are discussing with the TAC engineer, this problem can be solved by making one of these options below
    • 1-) field of sets for the CUCM so the field will not appear the IP address.
    • 2-) save endpoint on the VCS.
    • 3-) script on CUCM to change the SIP header and standardization for more details you can check out the link below:
    • 4-) - write scripts CPL on the VCS.
    • According to above choice, the only way to solve this problem for us applies a CPL
    • as much as I did research it is also not possible to change the source with the CPL on VCS - E. is it good?

    anyone can share me a CPL configuration for this manipulation? What I would do is this show get [email protected] / * / instead of [email protected] / * / address.

    [email protected]/ * / > [email protected] / * /

    our topology is device SX > CUCM > VCS - C > VCS-E > Internet

    VCS version is X8.7.1

    I would send me a CPL config for it.

    Thanks in advance
