Organizing files on the SSD and HDD

Hello

According to me, there are answers to this, but I found them a bit too technical and advanced for my level of knowledge.

I have a 250 GB SSD and a 1 TB HARD drive and am looking for the best way to structure my work FCPX (the SSD is too small to store everything). The application is installed on the SSD, which I suppose is the best for performance. I recently discovered the properties of the library menu and set it to store media and backups on my HARD drive, but the Cache on my SSD. I don't really know if it's the best - any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Dave

The SSD is the system drive? In general, I put everything on the media player, external, fast drive. Minimum USB3.

  • Use of the SSD and HDD

    Hello world

    My poor old MP3.1 seems to be labour especially now with El Capitan so I thought that perhaps I should start by upgrading to SSD?

    Here's how my Mac Pro is right now with my HD installed as follows:

    Bay 1

    Western Digital Black WD6401AALS 640GO (10 of Windows running and all other software)

    Bay 2

    Western Digital Black WD6401AALS 640GO (running El Capitan and all other software)

    Bay 3

    Western Digital Green WD10EZRX 1 TB (used for Windows 10 backups)

    Bay 4

    Western Digital Caviar 3200KS 320 (Time Machine backups)

    External USB

    Western Digital Elements 500 GB (Time Machine backups)

    A few questions I have about it are:

    1. Should I buy more small capacity SSD use them for the operating system and store everything IE photos, movies and music on existing HD?
    2. Any software that is extra games and third-party programs should they be installed on the same disk as the operating system or HD?

    If anyone has a suggestions I'd love to know and thanks a lot in advance!

    I've updated my Macs to SSD 2.  In both cases, I decided to become just big enough SSD to contain all my normal stuff, with room for growth.

    I have more than enough knowledge to split my environment between several disks, but I didn't want the hassle.

    But if you go with the House split, then enjoy iTunes and iPhoto/Photos option to specify where the library is, so you can move your files, music and photos on the other disk.  Another thing, if the application does not support a pointer to the new home of folder, you can do using Unix symbolic links in your home, SSD that point to the other disk.

    Just replace your device to normal boot together with a sufficiently large SSD, means also that you do not need to understand which disk is used to host the SSD while keeping the current for your big files disc.

    If you have decided to split your home environment, then as you have completed all your slots, I interrupt the internal TimeMachine backup and just use the external drive (if you want backups Time Machine, put the TimeMachine drive in an external enclosure, or get a new external drive.  Then re - purpose internal unit TimeMachine current housing for the SSD.

  • The distribution of applications and data between the disk SSD and HDD

    I recently installed an SSD in my Macbook Pro (late 2011) instead of the DVD player. I want to install OS X on it, by replacing the current OS X on the original hard disk, I will continue to use for storing files. How should I allocate its use in car? OS X and applications on the data files on the hard disk of 500 GB and SSD?

    The first series of instructions will partition and format the newly installed SSD disk then install OS X on it. The second block will help you configure OS X on the SSD with your data on the HARD drive.

    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.

  • Configuration of the BIOS XW8600 for SSD and HDD

    Until recently, my xw8600 has been configured with the emulation of SATA under storage on the separate IDE controller Options.  250 GB hard drives connected to the SATA 1 and SATA ports 0 and readers of DVD RW Drive connected to 2 SATA and SATA 3 ports.

    I wanted to install a GTX240 Neutron Corsair SSD, but discovered when I changed the SATA RAID + DCIS emulation (to activate all 5 ports of SATA controller and optimize the performance of the SSD), the system could not find the boot drive.  I checked the startup command settings and found the slot drive HARD listed title module of memory into the attached USB printer HP Officejet 7500 a first and could not be changed.

    I decided to go back to SATA IDE emulation separate, remove the optical drive on SATA 2 port and attach the SSD it.  This facility is expected to start successfully; but after installing windows 7 x 64 on the SSD (Windows XP, x 64, still on the HARD drive), I found Windows 7 has been very very slow.

    Can anyone offer any suggestions or comments on how I can improve this situation?

    Thanks for any help, you can suggest.

    What is an installation of Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit of a retail installation DVD purchase, or something HP?  If I remember well Vista 64 was the latest HP OS with sold.  In this case you won't have to deal with a set of HP restore disks.  I would never do an "upgrade" of a prior installation of OS in W7.  I only do not clean install W7 on a freshly long-type reformatted hard drive or an SSD.  I buy my "system builder" OEM license W7Pro 64 - bit DVD/COA from newegg.com (you can find that many sources and approximately 140.00 each).

    Plan to do a clean install on this SSD from scratch and when you format before that settle does long formatting version, while it is booted from the W7 DVD.  That will take some time.  Or, if you have a functioning before the OS install on a hard drive, you can restore the xw8600 you can connect the SSD in the second or third SATA port and reformat (long version) management of records like this.

    The boot drive or SSD, Spinner, must always be connected to the primary SATA port, which in these workstations, is usually blue plastic, while the rest are a dark black.

    Make sure that your BIOS is later... There was a version for this and the xw6600 with a few months ago.  It is an important.

    Put the SSD in your favorite mount, hang it in the main SATA port, prepare the W7 DVD in the DVD drive (which should be attached to the second port SATA or IDE cable if it's a DVD ATA drive). Throwing xw8600, go straight into the BIOS and go to which you can change the SATA emulation.  Change that on "RAID + AHCI.  Save on the way out of the BIOS, and the workstation will now reboot usually requiring formal approval of the change F1.

    Demarrer start on the DVD, select clean install and things will be fine.  I usually set my boot order to start hard drive/SSD first and second optical drive.  Then, when I load an OS I just use the F9 key during the early start to switch to the DVD player for this single event.

    It's the key information: If you have correctly set to "RAID + AHCI" SATA emulation for the W7 installation process, then the appropriate drivers will not be loaded from the DVD on the startup disk, and you won't receive anywhere near your expected speed.  I helped a friend who had done exactly what you did, and when we corrected things literally double SSD performance scores.  I recommend that the reformatting/clean reinstall from zero here, because you want to really perfect the basics and the way he was treated initially can leave you with a few important questions.

    After you have things working with the SSD and the DVD player you can add in your other material sequentially.  I would like to make a reboot between each addition, just be very careful.  Some old HP DVD drives have a problem with W764 loading during the emulation of the SATA BIOS is set correctly and there is a solution for this, but you don't want from now this info.

    All the advice I have written in this forum about the xw6400 installs apply to the xw6600 and xw8600, including information on the upgrades of the processor.

    @VBenedichuk

    Most of the time in the manual it looks like there are limits.

    Example if SATA and M.2 settled m2 must be the bootable disc.

    Example, if m2 is installed, then the other drive should be an SSD.

    For yours, I see no limitation.

  • XW6400: SSD and HDD bluescreen

    My old HARD drive player has accident and I bought an SSD for my workstation, ADATA SX900 SATA III.  I put SSDS with and drive HARD Seagate Barracuda 1 TB SATA 7200 RPM, and at first glance, everything was ok, after 2 days, my pc has slowly gel and once has this blue screen appears. Now, I only use SSDS on workstation.

    How can I put those together to work properly?

    If your older HARD drive was the boot drive and crashed it somehow, you can trust data from the operating system that is located on this drive. As such, you must reinstall the operating system to ensure that all the data on your new SSD is indeed correct.

    All your other personal data should be recovered from a backup, or if you have only these data at the disk 'crashed', it must be checked in some way to ensure that it is also OK.

    However, you have not been clear what you mean by "I put SSDS with and HDD ' must clarify what you actually did or what you ment by this statement.

    Some older HP worksataions play well with some Sata III drives. You can read about these issues here and here.

    However, it is not clear whether the problem you have is related to the Sata II / Sata III issues such as discussed in the references above or related to the fact you can have cloned the old HDD to the SSD and then change the type Sata from AHCI ATA or AHCI + RAID in BIOS (which will result in blue screen unless the correct drivers are already installed).

    If I were you, I remove the old hard drives from your system and insert the new drive SSD (wiped using BDAN). Then, I'd install clean operating system using HP system recovery disks or preferably a Microsoft Windows 7 installation disc. All of this assumes that your XW6400 can handle first indeed the SSD SATA III

    Good luck...

  • HP probook 4540 s: dual boot 4540 with SSD and HDD

    Hello world

    Recently, I replaced my HDD with a SSD on my HP probook 4540 s

    Using a HARD drive enclosure, I installed the SSD on the slot of the hard drive and the HARD drive on the DVD drive SATA connector

    the two hard drives have win 7 professional 64 bit

    When I turn on the laptop, the OS on the SSD starts and I see the HARD drive as a storage drive

    Thus, from a material point of view, everything works fine

    now, I would like to use two hard drives with the ability to use win 7 times of SSD and HDD

    to boot from the HARD drive, I tried to change the boot order put the DVDrom before the hard drive, but it did not work

    any suggestion\software tool which may help?

    Thank you very much

    Giuseppe

    @Giuseppe1:

    To do this, you must choose a single installation as the default and change the BCD in this one to include starting in the installation of other.

    Installing Win7 on the internal HARD disk is the best choice because he will always be there.

    That change, download and install EasyBCD from Neosmart Technologies.  It is a tool on the menu to change the BCD.  It is safe to download and use, as I use it all the time.

    Once installed, follow these steps:

    (1) run EasyBCD

    2) click on the button Add a new entrance on the left

    (3) in the section on the right operating system, click the Windows tab, and then select the drive that contains the OTHER Windows startup

    4) click the button Add an entry

    Now when you reboot your machine, you should see a menu with two entries - one for each version of the windows OS.

    Good luck

  • files on the ssd system has lost!

    Does anyone know of a simple way to format with the /s switch on the format command files system, Vista x 64 does not load on my SSD without file system. Vista x 32 is responsible to this topic... install aborted, just used the Vista x 32 to validify disk SSD.

    All I have to do is to run the format command on the disk... and transfer system, but notting works

    Format/s
    Copy the files of the operating system IO. SYS, MSDOS. SYS and COMMAND.COM
    to boot your system to a new disk drive formatted you can
    use as a system disk. If the FORMAT can not find the operating system files,
    It prompts you to insert a system disk.

    Just run the command with the switch, and he should ask the disk system to get the files, then they willl be on the SSD and you should be all set.  I suspect it's more complicated than that, because you knew that the law change so I guess you already tried what precedes, and it did not work.  Is it possible that the SSD is not compatible with Vista 64 bit?

    Be more specific about what happens or does not happen when you try the above, if this does not work.

    Good luck!

  • XPS 8500 drives (SSD and HDD)

    I have a XPS8500 that I bought new Dell a little over a year. It came with a 256 GB SSD and a 1 TB HARD drive. When I got it, I noticed the SSD was drive C: and drive D: drive.

    I called Technical Support at the time and asked if the SSD is to fill quickly, given that the Documents and the music are mapped to C:. The person tech says, no, the software Intel would automatically move files little used on the D: drive and keep frequently used on the C: drive.

    Well, I finally filled the SSD and nothing moves to D: was advice I got from Dell Support is incorrect, or there at - it a way to make this work? If this isn't the case, I remap manually the folder music on the HARD drive.

    Hi Steve8500,

  • I have problems keeping records and files of the administrator and the user separate in my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700) under Windows Vista Home Premium.

    I have problems separating records and files of the administrator and the user. My computer is a laptop (HP Pavilion dv6700), used as a home computer only by myself, I like to keep the two distinct roles, but am unable to as Vista seems to be considered as one and the same. This scenario has arisen as follows:

    Initially, when I bought the laptop - approx. 18 months back - Windows Vista Home Premium was preinstalled, with the name 'Administrator' as an administrator. To customize the operating system and to use safely, I installed a user 'Renault', as a Standard account user.

    After awhile, I changed the name of the Director of "Renault", for reasons I have can not remember now. This caused Vista to combine folders and files of the two "users" in one, I found difficult to deal with, that I could not operate my laptop as just a Standard user, but is still considered the "administrator." On the one hand, this greatly increased spam in my email accounts. So I tried to reset the name of the administrator as 'Administrator' itself and keep my user name as "Renault", as originally the case.  But Vista me has failed to create a new user under the name "Administrator". So I created a new user under the name "System administrator", with administrative privileges. This has been accepted by Vista.

    But I forgot to change the user account for 'Renault', on the Standard account, so there was BOTH administrator accounts at the same time on my laptop! I realized that now only. The net result was that all the files that I created under the system administrator user were still being displayed under the user account of Renault. A few days back, I realized this and tried to separate the files correctly, but it has not been possible. No matter what I copied the account of the user in the files under the system administrator account, the files have been copied on account of the user himself.

    I tried to fix this by changing the name of the user account in something very different, AND as a Standard user. but this also does not work, as all folders and files under the administrator account system shows it as being under the user account of "Renault" only!

    Then, I deleted the user 'Renault' from the list of the user, but he was not yet of any help. Whenever I tried to create a new file under the system administrator, Vista responds with the message, "C:\user\Rajaram folder is not present. Will I create a new? ", which defeat the same purpose of my tent to isolate the administrator account and the user account.

    SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE WITH A SOLUTION, - OTHER THAN REFORMATTING MY C:\ DISK AND REINSTALL VISTA AGAIN - TO GET OUT OF THIS MESS, IT SEEMS TO ME YOU HAVE CREATED AND HELP ME TO HAVE AN ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT AND OTHER UNIQUE STANDARD USER ACCOUNTS PROPERLY ISOLATED.

    I would be always grateful for a quick and helpful response.
    Thanks in advance.

    -RAJARAM77
     
    Thanks for your reply. It was very helpful / sorry your proposed solution has not solved my problem. Kind regards. -Rajaram77

    Better to delete the user account except the one that was built in the administrator account that you renamed. Before this backup all your data files of these user accounts.
    Then rename the buil into account administrator as 'administrator '. Then you create another administrator account and use it and never the user built in Administrator account and leave it alone.

    The easiest way is with a crossover cable - a special wire to connect the two systems.
    You can get one at your local computer store - they are not expensive.

    Also check with the site of the manufacturer of your router, because they will have in-depth details on how to

  • Order findstr/l/s/m print the file names of all the files in the directories and subdirectories despite any string contained

    Hello

    I'm looking for a file via the findstr command. After that I opened the command as Administrator window, I get:

    Findstr/l/s/m 'a string containing the words. " *

    Then, the command window displays all the files in the directory and its subdirectories. I think that I see which file is searched for the chain in real time.

    I expected to see only the name of the file/s if the string was found in it.

    What I am doing wrong? or why is this malcfunctionaning?

    I got directions for ordering findstr here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490907.aspx

    Thank you

    I think you want the /c parameter instead a / l.  As written, your search string is interpreted as a list of strings: 'a', 'string', 'with' and 'words '.  Any file that contains an 'a' will be a return match.  The parameter/l keeps your strings to be interpreted as regular expressions.

    If you need exactly match to the entire chain, type:

    Findstr /s/m/c: "a string containing the words." *

    Under the direction of add: It is not clear, but you can have several settings/c , to search for more than one exact string at a time.  For example:

    / s/m/c: 'a string' findstr / c: "a Word." *

    Research is 'a string' or 'a word' exactly.
