• Best configuration for new LR install on the machine with SSD & HDD

  Hello

  I have been in photography for years, but never got myself sorted to manage all the pictures I managed to take. So from Lightroom.

  I am a new machine with a fast 256 GB SSD, a 2 TB HARD drive, and a clean installation of LR. I also have a NAS I use for backups, but I won't probably LR actively talk to him because it is only accessible via the wireless network. My collection of photos is already in the order of 500 GB, in order to put all my photos on the SSD won't work.

  With this in mind, what is the best way to configure LR with this Setup to get the best performance out of it? The main purpose of the box will be for photography, so I don't mind too much if it uses most of the SSD.

  Tips are welcome. Thank you!

• How to change the Satellite L670D-103 using new SSD 80 GB HARD drive?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L670D-103 with a 320 GB HARD drive running at 5400 RPM which is too slow for me.

  So I plan to change this factory by a new SSD HDD to increase the performance of the overall system :)

  But as the SSD are expensive, I have only a 80 GB SSD.

  I built the recovery on a USB media and I want to use it to restore my system to the new SSD (I previously did the space needed to ensure that all data can be stored on my new SSD 80 GB space; p)

  Retrieving SSD partitioning new procedure is done without error, but when copying image to restore data to freshly created the partition, one not enough space error stop the process!

  It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb).

  So, how can I restore mysystem on my new SSD?

  Thank you
  Stéphane.

  > It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb)

  To my knowledge, you have different recovery options:

  (* 1) * recovery of factory default software

  (a) recovery to out of box state
  (b) recovery without changing the HARD drive partitions
  (c) recovery of a custom size partition

  (* 2) * "erase the HARD drive.

  I think that if you choose factory default software recovery of-> recovery to out of box state then the recovery would create exactly the same size of partition on the new SSD which were available on the 320 GB HARD drive.
  I think this might be the reason why you have received this message.

  Perhaps you need to choose the 3rd option Recovery on a custom size partition

• Satellite U940-108 - how to configure the BIOS to boot double OS to SSD / HDD

  How can I set the BIOS to start multi os ssd and HDD?

  I want to boot from an OS SSD and other bones of the HARD drive,
  When I try to do, I've got windows error?

  Can you help me

  Hello

  I guess you want to install the operating system (which one?) on the internal mSATA SSD 32GB?
  This mSATA SSD is used for caching (hybrid boot) to start Windows faster 8.

  I recommend you to install the second operating system on the HARD drive.
  To do this you must create the new partition that could be used for the installation of the OS.

  Then boot from the Windows installation disc and install the OS 2nd on the new partition.

• EliteBook. Can I install W7 on the mini map SSD and use it as a boot drive?

  Hey.

  I would use this machine for the development of the Oracle (as its predecessor has been certified for Red Hat).

  During the construction of the machine in the options that I have chosen the SUSE operating system, I intend to replace it later

  Oracle Linux. I also eliminated all the useless material to reduce any incompatabilities and maximize the

  the battery life requiring the de-selection of Windows.

  However, regarding the update the firmware of the machine, no firmware Linux we don't update which

  means that I have access to the Windows operating system, which means having to buy a copy of W7 and

  somehow get their hands on the necessary HP downloads, I hope that free space to download!

  I read some articles saying that it is possible to use the SSD 120 GB card mini as a bootable disk

  as long as it's SATA and NOT of PCI. The build options have such as a SATA drive which is also confirmed

  in the document also QuickSpecs although a SATA3 / 6 GB/s.

  Can anyone confirm if the mini-map SSD can actually be used as a startup disk?

  Thanks for the reply.

  I tried to access the facilities to help HP, but they require the serial numbers or contracts of service etc.

  In any case, when the construction of the machine without complaints were made on no valid primary storage.

  Also in the link below in the internal storage section, it states that if the SSD 2242 m2

  Mini card is selected (assuming that that means that the primary boot disk) and then apparently any other

  HDD or SSD can be designated as a secondary drive.

  I think this has answered my question in a roundabout way and indirect that still leaves one

  nagging doubt. It's maybe just me to be obsessive compulsive.

  Analysis of reading other sites, it seems that this type of device is the main drive for a certain number of

  other ultra books / chrome.

• Increase the use of the CPU with nvme or searched ssd ssd...

  My 'record' CPU usage is about 50% on a dual xeon (system more old bridge of sand...) 2 x 8 core 32 thread) when using a consumer 850 samsung ssd as a source and the export of other ssd cache on the hard drive or ssd right also. Yes separate OS and Adobe on SSD. And the cache on another hdd put ssd caching.

  I was wondering if anyone has noticed benefits with source really slamming first CC fast disk... e. g several s searched sata in raid 0 ssd or NVME ssd or ssd pci-e.

  Know and not first love high ghz cores, just trying to find the bottleneck. Made 3d etc and so need a lot of hearts here (soon improve to 16-22 core xeon v4).

  Am also aware that codec has a lot to do with it... h. 264 and cineform (doesn't work does not at the moment) is appalling on the first, while DNxHD seems ok. For some time I've tested DnxHR.

  As a reference, FFMPG with MyFFMPG front end has no problem to use 100% of all cores/threads during the encoding. But of course does not help when editing!

  Will do... but using MyFFMPEG here (front-end GUI for FFMPEG) for some old clips of gopro in protune, h.264 mov DNxHD files hd2 (no DNxHR yet! bummer!), but quite impressive to see all 32 threads pegged at 100%! Yes baby, that's what I'm talking about!

  going to try this once again, important macroblocking, DNxHD standard MyFFMPEG parameters not maxi not rated (hard to say I look on screen uhd)... but then again 8 clips took all of about 5 minutes...!

  Edit even tried with different settings, prores standard on ffmepg profile, once again use at 100%, 8 clips made in about 5 minutes of time... of course could not use pc at all, mouse was the analysis! But good to see the hearts of work!

  Maybe Adobe reeally reaally wants us to be multi-tasking rather than take coffee/beer breaks? Will come back to this topic once I visited configuration (22 carrots x 2!... you know for real work)... and I guess that will have to buy some sort of quad-core i7 for adobe... a piddler machine located in the corner and first... hahaha... what a joke...

• Use of the COMPENSATOR for SSD

  Can someone enlighten me on how to use the TRIM for my SSD function? According to Windows, the TRIM is enabled. What I need to know, is if it is a function that is called and executed automatically by the system? Or is this something that I need to manually call as a routine preventive maintenance (similar to the use of defragment)? Thanks for any advice.

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Useful information for SSD users with NVIDIA motherboards:

  Even if the Trim is enabled in Windows 7, mothers nForce NVIDIA cards do not send the order to the SSD TRIM.

  You can uninstall the well Nvidia controller in Device Manager and install the controller IDE from Microsoft, that allows to send commands to COMPENSATION for SSDS.

  Head to the Device Manager (menu start open, type Device Manager), and click on "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" and you will see 3 Nvidia Serial ATA Controllers. Right click on one of them and click on 'Properties' and go to the tab 'Pilot' 'Update Driver '. Click on "Browse my computer", then "Let me choose". You will see the option to choose "Standard dual channel PCI IDE Controller". Click this button and click on 'Next' and let it install.

  Do the same for the other Nvidia controllers in Device Manager, and then restart your system. After you have installed the controllers, you will be asked to restart again.

  SSD will have now a slight performance gain with the TRIM command, and ordinary hard drives also have a slight increase as well.

  I have an ASUS P5N - D 750i SLI motherboard and now my Trim actually works.

• Question about the use and connection of external mini HDD

  I am the owner of a satellite A30 714, which has only 2 usb ports, and I just bought a mini hard drive (toshiba also), which requires the use of 2 usb ports, which means that I won't have any left port for mouse or something else.

  The hard drive has an optional port of AC, but I can't find in the manual of the energy required to buy a compatible cable, so I'm asking for suggestions... can I use a multi usb hub or it will not provide enough energy? What is the cable AC adapter that I should try to find?
  find a solution in the firewire port? (the computer has a port alternative mouse).
  Can I install an additional usb port?

  can someone help?
  Helena

  Hello

  The fact is that a single USB port provides about 500 my.
  If HARD drive Manual requires the use of two ports USB together if the HARD drive needs more power than a USB port can provide.
  Of course, you can try using a USB hub, but please check if the USB hub supports an external power supply. It is important.
  I don't know where you can find the power supply for the external HARD drive. You said that it is a product of Toshiba. Well, maybe you can order the cable of the Toshiba service partner in your country.
  But first of all I would like to ask the dealer who sold you this HARD drive.

  I'm not sure the firewire port, because you need an adapter "USB to Firewrier '.
  But I can't find any.

• Satellite L50 - A - 1 7 hangs for a while - HDD Displays the use of 50%

  Using my laptop for a while, my laptop freezes and when the Task Manager is open my HARD drive is on the use of 50% but nothing is using it.

  After a while my laptop works very well
  https://www.dropbox.com/s/0c7g85btwvbse19/foto%2019-10-14%2014%2024%2028.jpg?DL=0

  I think it would be possible that some of the processes that are running in the background can lock the HARD drive and so the system would be unavailable for a while.

  Since when did you notice this gel?
  Maybe after some 3rd party software installation, updates, etc.. ?

  I think it will be easy to tell what's wrong here without particular control
  I think that you should pay attention to the software that runs while the laptop freezes.

  But let's not forget that a possible HARD drive failure could be the reason why the system hangs.

• Best SSD & HDD configuration environment iMac 2010

  I put my 2010 middle level 21.5 "iMac with a 1 TB Samsung Evo 850 SSD. I'll use the OWC data backup kit to replace the optical drive in the iMac with the SSD. To feel pretty comfortable with the facility itself after having looked through the iFixit guide and various You Tube videos. My issue is with how best to configure the installed SSD.

  I use mostly the iMac for Lightroom CC and I'm under El Capitan.

  My 1 TB HARD drive and is full of about 80%. I want to use the SSD as boot obviously drive and also use it for all my applications. I just want all my old music files and RAW files on the HARD drive that I don't need to access often. There are about 300 MB of old RAW files, I can move on the HARD drive, then once as it is setup, I hope that I'll have to say 500 MB on the SSD and 300 MB on the HARD disk. As my RAW files grow I still move the old files on the HARD drive to keep the SSD to become too full.

  I had planned to restore all my files for the SSD from a Time Machine backup and then format the HARD drive before joining former RAW HARD drive files. But:

  -which is the best way?

  There's an easy way to achieve the same goal without keeping all my cruft?

  -going to have my HARD drive plugged complicated issues when restoring to the SSD?

  -should I use carbon copy cone instead?

  Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

  How to use an SSD with your HARD drive If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do. After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume. Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder. Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content. Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

  Note that if you open the computer Apple won't provide any additional support if you need it. Make sure that you don't damage anything. Learn how to do what you plan to do before you start. It's a bad idea to try to learn along the way. There are small tablecloths at the back of the monitor that must be removed in order to access the disk space. There is also a special thermal cable required. I suggest you visit OWC where provide it a kit to add another disk to an iMac.

  You cannot copy OS X of your HDD to the SSD while leaving everything else behind. After installing the SSD you partition delete it, then install Snow Leopard top of your OS X disk installer supplied with the computer. After that, you can go to El Capitan if you wish.

  Clean Install of Snow Leopard

  1. start the computer using the Snow Leopard installation disc or disc 1 that came

  with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.

  After the ring, press and hold the "C" key.  Release the button when you see

  a small gear appear under the dark gray Apple logo.

  2. once the load setup program select your language and click continue

  button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.

  After loading disk utility, select entry Out-dented the SSD in the list on the left.

  Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility.  Set the number of

  partitions to one (1) from the Partitions of the dropdown menu, click on the Options button

  GUID, click OK, and then select define the Mac OS Extended format type

  (Journaled), then click on the apply button.

  3. once formatting is complete utility of disk and return to the installer.

  Proceed with the installation of OS X and follow the instructions included with the installation program.

  4. Once installation is complete your computer will restart in the Setup

  Assistant. After finishing Setup Wizard will complete the installation, after which

  you will use a new installation of Mac OS X.  You can now begin the process of updating

  at the opening of updated software and installing all recommend updates to bring your

  current installation.

  Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo.

• Replace the HHD with SSD as drive system problem...

  I hope someone can help out me!

  I want to improve 320GB HHD to the SSD on my X 230.
  I use mSATA as start the device identified as SATA2 (in BIOS).
  I replaced HHD DSS who is identified as SATA0 in BIOS.
  SSD is defined with the mSATA higher boot priority in the BIOS.

  Before moving to the SSD, I did a system image backup on external USB disk.

  When I start my X 230 with SYSTEM RECOVERY CD, it turns out that mSATA DISK0 and SSD is DISK1 and I can't get the image for the newly installed SSD.

  In fact, I did the same procedure that precedes. When I added mSATA, I followed the same procedure to retrieve the image system mSATA and it worked perfectly!

  What should I do?

  The easiest way to run an mSATA with a 'normal' car (HDD or SSD), the method is to remove the drive you want to boot from. Put the rest drive, restart, then the other disk (of data).

• Portege R400 - how to get the fingerprint device to HDD unlock

  Portege R400 model PPR40E-00901LEN

  I've had this laptop since 2007 new (approximately). I put the BIOS and disk passwords HARD and the biometric to unlock the BIOS, HARD and Vista drive. It worked well until recently. Result of an incident when someone tried to crack into the machine, it unlocks is no longer the HARD drive

  The attacker confessed to the use of BACKSPACE to work around the footprint digital, correctly guessed the password of BIOS and going on to make several attempts to enter the HDD password.

  Now when I try to access the computer by using the fingerprint reader, it unlocks the BIOS ok, so he remembers clearly to me. However, it is not open HARD drive. Apparenlty the fact that 3 + failures to enter the master password disk HARD text forces text of this password and no biometric entry. At least, there seems to be something like that.

  My questions are

  (1) in these circumstances, the BIOS anterio-rite the biometric to forget the HARD drive password?

  (2) or is still piometric my disk HARD but the BIOS password feature is not asking him?

  (3) if 3 or something similar, so this password is always in the biometirc device, how to tell the device to provide this password?

  Please note that I can't in the BIOS right now, because do not unlock the HARD drive prevents the POSITION to perform.

  Of course, I know what I really need to do is type the HARD drive password. Unfortunately in about four years, I forgot it. I hope that I can get into the BIOS if I remove the HARD drive physically, but wonder if there is something else I should do first in order to avoid making things worse.

  Thanks to hope

• Satellite T130 - can I use a SSD?

  Is it posible to use SSDdisk in the Toshiba Satellite T130-K?

  Hello

  Theoretically, it should be possible to use an SSD in your laptop. I put t not see why it should not work.

  I mean SSD also have interface SATA as normal hard drives, but only the technology is different. So you can try it and then post your result here. I am interested in. :)

• Satellite Pro P300-26U - can I use a second HDD?

  Satellite P300 obligations food raid0 and double HARD drive. All models? Manual of 26U don't say a word on the subject. Model as P300-1BP has double HARD drive.
  Can someone help me? I want to buy a P300-26U in Italy.

  Thank you.

  Hi mate,

  Who said that the Satellite Pro P300 takes supported RAID? AFAIK P300 series don't have RAID controller and in the specifications detailed on the Web from Toshiba site I can't find anything about this

  Satellite P300 it of only possible to use a second HDD if it has a second HARD drive connector. You can check it if you remove the second HARD drive. If you can see a second HARD drive connector, you can use a second HDD.

• Equium A100: Crisp & slows down sound while the use of CP's high

  When I play a cd/dvd, or extract the contents of cd for laptop, or whatever it is which includes the use of the D: drive, the sound is all distorted and crunchy and slows down. also, the CPU usage is very high, and it won't let me write anything on disks.

  This has happened a few months now, it was workin perfectly before hand and I've only had the phone since Christmas, so it is still under warranty. It's an equium A100 series.

  I've been looking around on the forums and found athread on a similar problem but on a laptop satellite, and which was resolved by a new drive being installed because the original was defective. the link to this thread is:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=21308

  so is that what someone had the same problem? does anyone know if a new hard drive would solve the problem on my laptop? and if not does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thanks for any help, dave.

  Hello

  Equium A100 is very similar to the Satellite A100. So maybe it's really a problem even as described in the other thread.

  But listen David, before you send the laptop and want to replace the HDD try first to reinstall the OS from the recovery CD!

  Try everything first format the whole HARD drive, erase the partitions and reinstall the OS.

  If this does not help, it would be wise to check, if the same thing would happen with the new HARD drive!
