Help. What is the best drive configured

Hi, I've searched for days understand this disc is suitable for every task.

I own an iMac 2011 with 12 GB of RAM and a 500 GB hard drive (7200 RPM) and two external hard drives. One of them is HDD 1 TB USB3 interface but my iMac does not support USB3 so there the USB2 speed. The other is a 500 GB HARD disk with Firewire interface.

I want to color correct a short, my images are Apple Prores HQ with around 320 MB/s data rate and the total size is 45 GB. I found this by using the Aja Datacalc application. My system is slow for this work, so I will try to find a way to get there.

From what I found on the internet, an SSD would make a difference. But I don't know if it would be better to buy an external SSD with thunderbolt interface or add internal SSD, but also keep the original of my iMac hard drive.

But more importantly, I know not how to use these discs. And I mean the basic level.

For example, I must:

-Add internal SSD flash drive and use it as a boot drive, so it will work all programs, I guess that

-use the internal HARD drive to keep the media and project files

-use the FireWire External HARD to cache disk

- and the drive external HARD with USB2 for exports

???

Also, what is the minimum size for the SSD in this case? I guess that's 256 GB, but maybe it needs more space, I don't know.

Anyone?

If stick you with some of the lumetri no color fx, your gpu can handle a bit of color correction. lumetri is of speedgrade and powerful GPU. you say the system after a certain time LAG, if it's back on the same project you've worked on you can check the memory usage to see if the 12 GB of ram is used. If it works fine with a new project with these images and then lag after adding the color fx, it could be the gpu it slows down with the color fx. There are so-called utilities that you can use on the mac to check the cpu, ram and same gpu use to help identify bottlenecks...

for the media, previews and exports, readers are to be fast enough for their goal with the codecs used. If you have a fast media player but are constantly rendering to a slow player previews, it may be counterproductive. If the drive is slow and the reader to glimpse is fast, but you return not found very often it can also be counterproductive. its better to have an SSD for many small files, like os/apps/cache files, as hard drives do not handle well lots of small files.

  • I'll do a clean install on a blank hard drive upgrade but want to keep my Firefox settings - what is the best way to do this?

    I'll do an upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. I will be installing Windows 7 on a new empty hard drive. I want to keep my bookmarks Firefox and Ad Ons. What is the best way to do it. Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    The best thing for you to do is to make a backup of your Firefox profile. It is a folder that stores bookmarks and Add-ons that you can then add to the reinstalled Firefox on your new operating system.

  • Any transfer on a drive hard new - what is the best way?

    Here's a question simple and straightforward, I hope. I currently have two internal hard drives:

    • C (IDE): OS (Win7), programs
    • F (about three times larger than C, faster, SATA): for most of the multimedia stuff

    (And some external and a dvd burner, which should not be relevant to this question.)

    I ordered a new hard drive, which will take over old job of the F drive. Once I have install and F empty on it, I want to move everything that is currently on C for which is now F and the new C drive I start and run Windows from. (C would also get a new drive letter and would only be used for backup purposes).

    I much prefer this without having to reinstall Windows and all my other programs, and without investing in expensive software of type Ghost I would probably use only once every two years or more. I also prefer not to have to partition F, although I'll do it if necessary.

    What is the best way to do it?

    Windows 7 image and move it to the new hard drive

    The only way to avoid reinstalling programs is in the image of the player. Connect the new drive as a slave (if IDE), then partition the new drive, so it has two partitions (or more if you want) - the last partition being slightly larger, then the amount of data on your current hard drive. Also, make sure that the partition you are moving that Windows 7 is greater, then the current partition is.

    Make now a picture of your current hard drive with either programs below and save it to the last partition on your new drive. If you have the recovery of 100MB partition do not forget to include that. Then restore the image of the partition that you want Windows 7 installed-you put in place the same as long as your current drive, and you may need to remove/change the partitions that you have done.

    Hello

    What is the best way to retrieve deleted mp3 files? I had a lapse of attention and I deleted a folder containing most of my music files. It is for the most part, the mp3 but there was regular audio files and some wav files in there also. I am running OSX Leopard 10.5.8 on a PowerPC G5 tower. I have another PPC machine to help the recovery, if I need, but at the moment, he is not appearing on my network (3 computers). I'm trying to change this soon. I'll be really grateful for any help in this matter.

    What is the best way to transfer pictures from an old computer to a flash drive or a drive back then to a new computer?

    The easiest and most reliable I've found is to make the direct drag-and-drop method.

    (1) on the old computer, open your Windows Explorer and go to your photos.

    (2) open another Windows Explorer window and access your 'Computer' folder and in your flash drive

    (3) drag the photos to the flash drive.

    (4) take the flash drive on the new computer and drag them into your images folder
