How can I know which drive hard connection will fit in my XPS 400?

Hello. I'm looking for more space and more speed from 400 XPS under Vista 32 bit.   Because I have a Pentium D 2800 core duo and 4 GB of ram, it seems to me that the last reasonable upgrade is a bigger drive.

It currently has a WD 160 GB with 8 MB buffer.  My wife says that it's slow.

In addition, the ones I see on Tiger direct shows SATA 300. Is it the same as normal Sata?    All are sata drives compatible with the specification xps 400?

Option A): Western Digital Caviar SE16 640 GB hard drive - 7200 RPM, 16 MB, SATA-300, OE. $80.

 

Option B):Hitachi sister 7 K 1000 1000 GB hard drive - 7200 RPM, 32 MB, Serial ATA-300, OEM.  $110 after rebate.

1 TB disks seem to offer with 32 MB.  The 640 GB has only a case of 16 MB.   Assuming 640 GB is enough space, is it better to get the 16 MB buffer or is it useful to switch to a memory size 32 MB buffer? I get a pop in performance?

Thank you!!

Stu

  • How can you know which drive is which?

    Hi all

    I have two VM with about 10 RDM disks connected on it. The problem is that I need to delete one of these. If it is easy enough to see what number of LUN on the SAN correspond to what disc RDM on vsphere, I can't find a way to know what disk under windows is the disk RDM on vsphere.

    Little help would be greatly apreciated

    Thank you!!

    In windows, right click on my computer go to manage-> disk management-> right-click Disk 0 or 1, 2, etc., no not on the partition, and then click Properties.  The SCSI ID must match the ID in the VM Properties window.  So 0,1,0 will match (0:1).

  • How can I know which files I can delete safely on my C drive?

    I was told to delete some files as they took too much space, they told me to go to my computer, then click on my C drive... 1 million files showed up... how can I know which ones to remove?

    See other responses, you got and let me add the following. If you are short on disk space, it is likely that there are some files that you don't need and you can delete them. But this generally record only a small amount of disk space and doesn't really help the problem. The only real solution to buy a bigger hard drive. Fortunately, they are very cheap these days.

  • How can I use my drive hard thunderbolt from 8 TB to backup all my wireless devices?

    How can I configure my drive hard thunderbolt from 8 TB to back up all my devices using a Wi - Fi connection?

    What you might hope better would be to use a Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter to connect to the router, but even if it works, it would be like a fire (Thunderbolt) connection to a water hose (Ethernet) is launching... and expect to get more water on the hose... more, the best that can be done without wire will be about half the speed of the Ethernet network.

    Sorry, this is no sense... a Thunderbolt drive is designed to connect directly to a Thunderbolt port on a computer, or in a Garland with other devices Thunderbolt.

    In other words, as soon as you break the chain of connection Thunderbolt, the speed drops to Ethernet or even low speed wireless.

    I bought a laptop with a windows xp pro, I have the serial number, but I don't have the installation disc. How can I know which version I need? SP3 has not worked... at the moment I am testing SP1

    The serial number of the computer has nothing to do with the product key for Windows.

    What happened when you tried to install Xp with sp3? If you do not have the original for the computer that you use to install Windows?

    You can try to contact the manufacturer of the computer who may be able to provide the recovery disc. The disks are usually under $ 20.

  • How can I know which files fragmented, I can safely remove?

    original title: fragmentation of files

    How can I know which files fragmented, I can safely remove? Some of my fragmented files are system files.

    Fragmented files are not bad! At worst, need another millisecond or two for the system read this file.  If the file is rarely or never accessed, so there no performance impact at all.  When you delete files from your machine, fragmentation does not fall within the decision-making process. If you don't remove them if they are not fragmented, then you should not remove them, period.  If you mind really that a file is fragmented after you run a standard defragmentation, there are programs out there as freeware "Contig" that defragment almost anything.

  • How can I know which files are accessed more so I can move them to another drive

    My C drive is constantly busy and is indexed to 100% much of the time.  My swap file is on my S drive and its activity is very low. How can I know what is causing all the readers of the activity on my C drive so I can move some things my S, or other?

    I realize it is not easier to simply move the files, I might have to reinstall some applications or other things. But for now, I don't know what are the files or applications, roll to the top of the activity on my C drive.

    You can use performance monitor. Type perfmon in the "Search" box and press "Enter."

    Open the drive section by clicking on the arrow

    To identify individual files in more detail, you will need the Windows Performance Toolkit

    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/performance/cc709422

    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/performance/cc825801

    Download as part of the WIndows SDK from here:

    Select this option for components you need.

    There is a video on the use of the tool here: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/PDC/PDC09/CL16

    At a glance, use Process Explorer to identify the source of the e/s:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

    On the file menu, click "show details for all processes."

    On the view menu, click on "Select columns" and check the deltas of reading and writing.

    You can also use the process monitor:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896645

    This will show you the operations of individual files so the amount of data will be huge. If a Visual inspection reveals anything, you can export the data to a csv file and use a spreadsheet to a total activity for each file.

    I have a mp3 player.i sansa player - tunes doesn't recognize Sansa, so I need to transfer my music in windows media player. to do this I need to convert all my music in mp3 format.when I do that, then I can burn all my music and import to wmp.question is that when I convert to format mp3, how will I know which songs are mp3?

    You can create a smart playlist which, for example, collecting files converted based on the date that they are added to the library. It depends on how you want to proceed. If you want to permanently convert, I have a script called ConvertFormat which range the originals after conversion. Alternatively, you can temporarily change your media to the converted files folder are stored in a folder of new media, then once the process is complete you may add these files to your WMP library, reset the media in iTunes folder and delete the new additions to iTunes library, thus separating the two libraries.

  • How do I know which drive size for a RAID configuration

    Hello

    I'm a beginner when it comes to PC built but am still learning.

    I can't afford to not have reliable backups, so I would like to enter in a RAID configuration, and from what I've read, it will be either a RAID 5 or RAID 3.

    If I want a strong system, it seems that I should go for seven discs, as well as the C drive (according to generic directive of prejudice to article Disk Configuration: generic for the installation disc Directive)

    Other than the C drive, do the same size and brand discs in all areas? If this is not the case, how do I know what size to get? What are the specific brands offer great value in 2014?

    At the moment I have 240 gb C drive and 2x1To WD Caviar Black drives (media and projects on that, previews, media and on the other hand, the export cache). I also have a 2 TB WD Green backup drive.

    I have a lot of threads have checked and still get my head around RAID configurations.

    Thank you for helping,

    Robert

    For the largest raids of parity, records of business are the best. HGST Ultrastar, Seagate Constellation or WD RE.

    As for the size, it depends on your storage needs. Provided that the controller has the necessary ports, you can always extend the table by adding more disks, more speed and more space.

  • How can I know which file is the use by the self-service workflow?

    Hi all:

    In my home directory, there are two HRSSA.wft and how do I know what source used by the workflow of self-service?

    my environment is oracle 11.5.9. self-service 4.1 | workflow Builder 2.6



    Thank you
    concerning
    Terry

    One way would be to download the HRSSA workflow in a wft file (using the WFLOAD - see MOS Doc 578248.1), and then comparing this downloaded file wft with the two files, you have (using a utility such as diff on Unix). The comparison that reported no difference will identify the wft which is uploaded into the database.
