IMac with Fusion Hard Drive - HD Setup for video editing

Hello

I just ordered a new iMac with the following specifications just for video editing:

iMac 27 "Quad - Core Intel Core i7 3.5 GHz

8 GB RAM

3 disc Fusion to - [I] I got this configuration with the merger of 3 TB for much due to the fact that it was a mixed open-box, otherwise I would of went with an SSD. [/ I]

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780MX with 4 GB of GDDR5

My question is: what is the best way for me to set up my hard drives (Cache OS, programs, file, media, media, projects, previews, exports, etc.) for editing with this iMac and hard drives that I own?

I currently use a combination of a HD Lacie Raid - 0 6 TB and 1.5 TB OWC FW - 800 Raid-0 for video editing on my MBP that has a 750 GB HD SSD and oem.

iMac installation:

3 to Fusion: operating system, programs, parallel

6 TB Lacie Raid: video/media storage disk

1 TB OWC USB 3 external:

Several OWB FW - 800 external references:

I might consider to get a 1 to Lacie thunderbolt HD, though it will have a significant advantage.

I'm intent on obtaining a raid of the Rainbow-8050 somewhere down the line, but that is out of my budget right now.

In addition, I already know the standard of the guidelines for the use of the disc which is in the link below, but since the iMac cannot be configured with multiple HDs, I'm looking for suggestions of knowledge of people with this type of installation.

Thank you

I'm already a user of Areca (32 terabytes on Raid6). As you have a capable TB2 iMac that I would wait for the next version of the Areca 5080 TB2.

I suggest you a configuration of data 3 step; for example the project files on an external drive and Fusion cache on external SSD and based on external Raid 0 and as the third step one backup (BR, external drives, LTO, basically everything what is available or practical).

    If you use your iMac as a backup to disk using Time Machine look for a folder called Backups.backupdb.

    It's what keeps you upgraded your operating system, you must remove it.

    Copy everything first if you are on a different drive. It would be wise to create a backup of the iMac on another drive also.

    Check system preferences > Time Machine and make sure that the iMac is not selected as the Time Machine drive.

    You are located in the United States? If not, where? Country only just so we can connect you to a source for hard disk and memory.

    Page 62 on the hard drive and 66 for the memory.

    You must open the door to the memory and see if you have a 4 gig stick or a 2 x 2. If you have 1 x 4, you just need to get another to have 8. If you have 2 x 2, you need get 2 x 4.

    You need DDR3-1333 mhz SO-DIMM memory and you need a 2.5 inch width 9.5 mm thick hard SATA. 2 TB disks are not really available on the market. 1 TB is about as big you'll find there.

  • Which hard drive Solid State for Satellite Pro L670?

    I have a Satellite Pro L670, I need to configure for presentation and having to re - load operating system anyway.

    Rather than write the existing drive too much, I thought that it would be best to get a second to adapt instead.
    Replace the current (obsolete) rotation drive with a solid state, it seems to me the best way to go.
    Has anyone equipped with a hard drive to a Satellite Pro?

    For budget reasons, I plan to go for a capacity of 120 GB that will be enough.

    However, I've yet to discover at Toshiba they could recommend. Anyone else gone this route?

    Hello

    Theoretically, any SATA SSD drive should be compatible because the laptop supports a SATA controller.
    But in some cases, it might be possible that an SSD would not be treated properly. In such cases, SDD drive manufacturers provide different firmware updates

    So before buying an SSD drive check the support pages of the manufacturers of SSDS for more details would perhaps have a firmware update

  • Problem with new HARD drive and Qosmio Player installation

    Hi all
    I hope someone can help, I had my Qosmio for 2 1/2 years now and recently had a problem with the hard drive. I decided to replace the hard drive, because it was the fastest solution. The problem I have now is that I can't receive TV on media center. I tried to install qosmio player at the disk to see if it made any difference, but when I run the provided recovery disc software tells me that there is not enough disk space! The laptop came with a 60G hard drive and the new HARD drive manufactured by the same manufacturer is a 150 GB, can someone help me out with this would be appreciated.

    Thank you
    ED.

    Have you tried to install Qosmioplayer initially, then on operating system? If I remember well, on this first portable Qosmio, it was very important to install Qosmioplayer initially.

  • A40: problems, I think that with a hard drive

    Hello! Bit of background - had a laptop Toshiba SA40 ISI during a little less of 2 years, and there have been some major problem with it in these last days (until then it had been beautiful and functional with brio).

    He started working yesterday incredibly slowly, took forever to load, kept on crashing etc. After the restart for the 5th time, it would have just send me to the "Windows didn't load correctly screen ' and ask me to select an option, and whatever that I did sent me to the toshiba load screen, Windows does not at all.

    So I had use the product recovery disks and reformat the hard disk. For half a day, the laptop was working once again excellent, no problem. Then this morning, out of nowhere, it completely crashed again. I rebooted, and again the same problems appear. But now I can't used the product to reformat recovery disks. A few times he reformatted then the screen became all black. The error messages became more in worst - now, when I'm trying to recover, comes up with an error message:

    GDISK (e) cannot write to sector 0 of the fixed disk 1 - the IDE controller error

    F0ollowed by a little more information, I have not a chance to note that the screen then recovering flashed, then the screen says:

    !!!!!!!!!! Error!

    Then a screen that says:

    DAY 02/05/06
    Error No.: 11030
    Message: Invalid destination drive

    He has gradually deteriorated. I think there is a problem with the hard drive, the previous messages referred to make it incapable of partition. It is quite anmnoying as it came straight from heaven. Everyone has experienced or heard of something like that? Anyone know what is the problem or what to do? How do you think it will cost you for difficulty? I don't know if it is covered by the warranty, or if this series comes with 2 year warranty.

    Any help would be much appreciated

    Russell

    Hello

    If the warranty is valid, then all replacements will be done free of charge. If you are not 100% sure so call the Toshiba service in your country. Please note; If you open the notebook (remove covers) by yourself if you will lose the warranty.

    Hi Scoobydoos,

    NOTE: PLEASE HAVE A GOOD BACKUP ON AN EXTERNAL MEDIUM BEFORE PERFORMING ANY FUNCTION INVOLVING REPARTITION YOUR HARD DRIVE

    Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

    Of the information you have provided.  Here is the configuration that I believe that you have on your PC.

    1. A 250 G hard drive
    2. A score of 30 g

    If there is already more partitions on this hard drive, it is difficult to the above message.

    If your current configuration is as I have suggested, then here is the procedure that you must follow to create a new partition.

    Disk 0 should show as a BASIC DISK - beside the C:\ which has 30 GB should be shown - next to her is about 200 GB of unallocated space.  -However, if you have another partition besides the C:\---il comes to the partition which should be right click and SHRINKAGE of VOLUME must be selected on.  - but from the information provided, I can't confirm it's you have your system configured as.

    Right-click NEW VOLUME SIMPLE-, select unallocated space, and follow the wizard to create the new Volume.

  • DV6-6119wm: HP Pavilion dv6-6119wm - replace the hard drive with a hard drive from a laptop Gateway

    OK (deep breath). I have a dilemma, and I hope that you all can help me.

    First of all, the HP laptop in question is a dv6-6119wm QE069UA #ABA, Windows 7 Home Premium.

    A month ago, it began overheating and then blue screened on me with a fan error. I ran it while I was getting this error, which was a mistake, because according to me, he has finally caused the hard drive failure after enforcement of reset factory several times. But I'm getting ahead.

    I replaced the fan and the heatsink myself. Another factory reset. Downloaded and installed all the updates of windows. Ran great for like a week with the exception of the fault 1 hard disk when I ran the Start Up Test.

    Then when I restarted yesterday... He's dead, so he is dead.  Apparently, the hard drive failed completely and comes only a black screen telling me it cannot start.

    So, I have this other model of Gateway laptop, NV55C26u which has stopped charging. I had to put it away and don't worry. I got out the hard drive and tried HP successfully. ! Sorta.

    It considers that the HP is a gateway and as a result, none of the drivers are there for all the good stuffs HP. It cannot connect to the internet and does not recognize the USB flash drive. (I had downloaded all the drivers on another laptop and put them on a pious flash drive I could convince the hard drive it's HP again). Another hard drive WILL work in the dv6, and I had no errors on startup it upward.

    I have no recovery discs or store bought Windows 7, all came with the laptop preinstalled. But I don't have my key to the label.

    Then what should I do? I'm not exactly tech savvy, I know just enough to be dangerous haha, but I tend to go glassy when things get too technical. I thought I could get something Microsoft to reinstall my Windows but I guess they closed this path down a few months ago.

    I have access to 2 other laptops, both HP. A QE304UA of Pavilion G7 #ABA with Windows 7 Home Premium and a HP 250 G2 Portable F7V84UT #ABAwith Windows 7 Professional.

    So basically in order to encapsulate this novel to the top, which can do here to fix my dv6? How can I convince this other HDD HP rather than Gateway? I can create something from one of these other HP laptops? Download something somewhere? I don't want to have to buy Windows again. I love this phone and need her in my life as a game.

    Please help me

    You must do a clean install of Windows on them. The hard drive has drivers for completely different material. Too bad that you did not have your drive to retrieve the value. It would restore the hard drive to HP with all the drivers/software installed. It would depend if the hard disk is at least the same capacity or larger than the original. Recovery discs are reluctant to a smaller capacity hard drive.

    You can order recovery Medai for about $16:

    If you can read the Microsoft Windows 7 of 25-character license key, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD or USB flash drive. The version must match that's installed on your PC as shown on the sticker COST Microsoft fixed on the bottom of the laptop. Like Windows Home Premium.

  • If your computer comes with a hard drive of 32-bit pc will work better by adding another hard drive of 60 bits or transfer all files on the hard drive of 60 bits?

    The pc is a hp pavilion a706n and windows vista ultimate.

    Hello

    You confuse the version of Windows with the hard drive.

    A hard drive is a physical device for Windows (operating system)
    are the programs installed. When the data is created and saved which are written in the
    hard drive. A hard disk is analogous to a wardrobe as a storage device.

    Hard drives are not little dependent, which means that you can run Windows 32 or 64 on them
    If the rest of the system is compatible with every version.

    Windows can be 32-bit or 64-bit. But not all hardware systems can run both.
    Many 32-bit systems cannot run 64-bit Windows.

    Your computer came with at least a possible hard disk to add possibly
    internally, and certainly outside.

    WiKi - hard disk drive
    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive

    As TrekDozer said that your computer cannot run as 64-bit Windows if you need to stay
    with 32-bit Windows. However, you can add additional hard disks of extra disk space.

    Check with HP support, their books online and the drivers, diagnosis, and
    their forum are good sources of information from others with the same or similar
    systems.

  • Blue screen error: 0x0000001a when using system to restore with new hard drive disk

    original title: blue screen error when you use the system disk to restore with new hard drive

    I bought a new hard drive to my computer because the old one gave me a bunch of error messages on screen blues. I installed in the tower and tried to use my restore and system recovery disks that the manufacturer has given me, the process has got to the last disk then asked for the system once again restore disc, and then began to load the last steps and went to blue screen error. I don't know what to do, I mean it's a whole new drive hard, so where could the error come, theres nothing on the hard drive because I have not yet used really, yet. Help, please

    I have finally fixed the problem myself. The problem was that one of the sticks three memory was bad and the only way I could test this error. I took two sticks a left, used disks I had and was able to restore my computer, then I put a stick, turned on the computer, had no errors so I let him, so I put the last stick in and com immediately on, I had the Disconnections: memory management and that's when I knew that the last stick of memory was bad I took it back and now my computer works well and I can't buy more memory for not too. So if someone gets this BOSD error on memory, I'd say 8/10 computers have bad memory (not a number). If youcannot run the tool of diagnosis of memory like me then I would suggest to do what I did with the trial and error, it was the only way to understand the problem. Thanks for your help

  • How do I set up a dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives?

    Dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives

    I tried to get my computer has a separate hard drive put in place that lets me run Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tried the path of the CMD, but I could do things wrong with that because the news NTLDR appeared much too different info from Vista. Currently, I have deleted this change to the startup configuration. I want to know what I have to do to get these two to be able to boot. I noticed problems similar to mine, but the answer always seems to be a software that would cost me money.

    Thank you

    Tevans95

    Hello Tevans95,

    You cannot install two different operating systems on two different disks. For a dual-boot environment, you must install both XP and Vista on the same drive with different partitions.

    In addition, you must install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista.

    You can check the items below which will give you information on Dual boot.

    Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

    Set up a dual-boot system

    Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

    There is no software that can help you to install XP and Vista on different drives.

  • Problem with connector hard drive to spring on T43 motherboard

    My T43 (type 1875) cannot operator unless I am pressing on toward the down on the palm rest above the spring certainly drive connector.  This connector seems to be designed to move upwards & downwards on two positions.  44 pin hard drive seem to connect indirectly to the motherboard via 44 springs in this assembly.  This Assembly should be compressed manually for the system to communicate with the hard drive.

    I do not understand the physical design of this connection?  I certainly do not understand the purpose of this complicated mechanism.  It is part of the protection of the hard drive?

    To correct the problem, I see two possible solutions;  either compress the springs, then bend the stems of alignment to maintain the State of compression, which makes electrical connections or replace the motherboard.

    If someone put me on how I could fix this?

    -Michael Faklis

    Note of the moderator; email address removed before finding too much spam

    This is common with the T4x problems and those who have not been carefully reassembled since the Council can become cracked over time especially when door one-handed from a corner as a person would natrually.

    Even models 15 inches and their solid upper bezel can experiencine this issue, but the models 14 inches and the palm rest of split and are the most sensitive.

    The system works when you press the right ALT just below and to the right of the trackpad?

    If you took the palm rest off the power, then press the plug of the battery, it restores the operating system?

    If so, you may be lucky that the Council itself cannot be cracked but it could be the connectors of taking battery BIOS on the Board and in this regard a $3 repair. Cut the connector and replace with a new one or cut and reweld to ensure that the circuit is solid.

    If it is cracked, you can hold with some high quality neoprene since used neoprene "shrink as styrofoam when exposed to heat and pressure. Shim planks will run, but the added stress of ttignehtning it back together can create other pauses as you are bowing the bridge so that the stress has to go somewhere.

    In addition, the system will work better if it remains stationery for a portable shim will pass when the goods are shipped under nomral conditons.

    Finally, the entire system will be brick and you can save or part the rest of it.
