  This table was written to disk, so using ssd can offer slightly alternative configurations. instead of placing cache db first on the previews/export drive, its ok to leave on the fast ssd with windows/apps/pagefile. the screenshot that show you the scratch disk/Visual sounds great.

• HP Pavilion x 360 11-n010dx (HARD DISK AND RAM)

  Hi, I have the HP Pavilion x 360 11- n010dx and make it sound strange when in set at 90 degrees. as a click clikc click all the time, since the day I understand 5 months ago. to be honest never was a fast computer, as my old vaio run faster than that. I thougth it was for windows 8 and 4 GB of ram. but someone told me that might be you HDD. so, first of all is any chance to fix this disc using HDD regenerator or something similar (I do not), or do a complete restore of the system? (I don't have the box and Bill from best buy so I can't look for support or use the warranty and im from argetntina and I get this pc in the United States). In the case where I need is also a chance to change the disk to an SSHD? or a SSD? in this case, what should I buy? Last, but not least, is a chance to upgrade memory? I know that it is sold to the motherboard. (any remote chance?) If I have to UN sold is not a problem, because I can't use the warranty so... (no invoice, no box).  I have well appreciate a lot your help

  Hi again once I run the complete test of the system hardware, it does not any error on the hard disk. but the clicking sound again. and the still slow computer.

  Whence the noise? It's cooling fans, near vents or on the side of the hard drive? Look at the manual to their approximate positions & identify the area where the sound comes from.

  Are there any overheating, sudden stops, unusually warm air through vents or error messages?

  If there is no hard drive failure, it is unlikely that the cause is due to bad sectors of hard disk or all just bad HARD drive. To confirm the download, run this program free HD Tune - it'll take a few hours to complete.

  You partition the hard disk after you bought the laptop?

  I want to change the HD to an SSHD, because SSDS are much better, but they are very expensive and shorter life. for example, sshd maximun size would be bee 500 GB? I would like to put something bigger, is - it possible?

  SSHD - the listed compatible max is in this config: 2.5 "SATA 7mm (HDD to 500 GB + 8 GB SSD) hybrid (reference HP: 732000-005), there is no other compatible guaranteed.

  I suggest that go you for SSD - there is no problem, I've heard up to now with them. Certainly, they would work at least 10 years (and more than that) with the same performance & in my case (I have 500 GB Samsung SSD Evo 840) time to access and overall performance improves day after day.  If you want more storage, better, you buy an external HARD drive. If you want spectacular performance SSD is my choice, even though I'm not saying that SSHD is bad - but there still turns physical disk which is the main part.

  On the RAM I've already updated the bios, so I think that I'm ready to go for it.

• PS7 and Scratch disk full, using XP SP3 with 1 HD... How to fix?

  I searched the forum, still couldn't find an answer or difficulty...  I installed my old PS7 on my new computer running XP with SP3 on an Intel Dual-Core, 1. 5 t HD (single player), 3 GB of RAM - not enough money for the PS, the computer upgrade took first dibs...  PS7 refuses to open - aprΦs the dΘmarrage, comes up with an error pop up indicating the Scratch disk is full and then stops.

  My old system (W-2000, only HD 20 GB, with 1.8 processor Pentium, 1 GB of RAM) worked perfectly with PS7 - never had any problems...

  I tried all the possible corrections...  HD is not even close to fragmented as it is a new drive; not quite yet installed programs, or use on computer, disk cleaning required; forced creation of the preferences (name changed to .old) file; and did the ctrl-alt-shift to start by default.  No idea what's happening, or why would he say the drive to complete work.

  The partition is too large n thrown out of the logic of internal swap file, most likely. Obviously, at the time when PS7 was hot, 1.5 TB drives were not around...

• Photoshop "scratch disks" appear when photoshop is open, and I can't delete them?

  I've been struggling with this for about an hour now. I walked into photoshop this morning and he said my "scratch disks" was full, so obviously, I started to search the hard disk for them.

  I can not the freakin ' find.

  The only time I was able to locate one is when photoshop itself was open and I was unable to remove it. I guess that's because it's the one attributed to the program that is open. My problem is that, although he is not able to find temporary files to remove, still failed to open all the files in photoshop because it is always telling me that the disks are full. I would really like to know what to do. I have searched the 1 million different ways on my PC, used all the methods I've met. I can't find the. Aren't there? I never deleted them in the year or so that I've had this computer. They need to be taking up a ton of space on my C: drive, but I can't seem to them! Help!

• PS CS6 does not and scratch disk/file error

  I am a student in Animation, so I had the whole Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium installed there (via the real disk and not CC) a year on my MacBook Pro 2010 having Mountain Lion (10.8.5), but for the last 2 days, Photoshop had problems to open. He begins to open up to the top, but then gives me this:

  

  The strangest thing is that I did nothing with this file or the main Photoshop files, except for use of the software. I run Photoshop on my computer, but the disk of "scratch" to his memory is on an external hard drive, I learned that it was better to have the software running off the external drive to take pressure off my computer. And Photoshop opened and worked well with my external hard drive as the drive of his work.

  Last night, when the problem was first of all, it gave me this message and another after "OKing' to be could not initialize Photoshop and my computer immediately closed.

  I then realized that Adobe has had an opinion on my top - bar which I needed to update the software, so I let it run the update. But when he ended updated and closed out of the Update window, Photoshop has always refused to open and I got the same error again. So I decided to just restart my computer, which worked and open PS fine... but a reboot seems to have been only a temporary fix because I came across this error message even still today. I had closed it and then tried to eject my external drive. But it would not eject at first because he said that another program was using. It's a little concerning because the only program that I use on my drive external hard is Photoshop... which was already closed.

  I'm thinking that the work of Photoshop on this external drive disk is corrupt or something... Or is it my external drive itself. I'm not very savvy to know exactly what is the problem and how to fix it, but I will not be surprised if the problem is coming from this external drive, even if my Mac is read and it opens without any problem.

  So I'll try a few external and discount automatic reformatting hard drive fixed reset record on Photoshop and see if that does this question go away... But all you suggest other ways that could help? Thank you! c:

  I discovered that it's actually my external drive which is causing the problem, so I'll close this thread now. Thanks for your suggestions! c:

• Scratch disk settings and freezing of the burned DVD

  Hi, I would be very grateful for the help with the following please. Recently, I changed my settings to disk for the last 2 projects and now have problems. Please tell me if they are connected. So far, my scratch disk settings were all together on the C drive, IE. the same drive as the windows operating system. I've now changed such that all on the i drive, IE. a secondary internal hard drive. My new problem is that when I send my project to Adobe Encore via dynamic links and add menus and burn to DVD, my finished DVD is freezing and skipping in various random places.

  I use a system quite high-end on windows 7 64 bit. I use TDK dvd - r discs, as I've been for the last 15 years. In reading some forums, I understand that these TDK discs are not the greatest, so I'm awaiting delivery of some Verbatim 43549 16 x DVD-R 4.7 GB. I should have these here tomorrow, but I am not at all convinced that is my answer. Because I have used TDK discs for so long and have had the occasional coaster from them, I don't see that I have now have me coasters of 90% of their share.

  So, to summarize! Are these correct scratch disk settings, or am I confused things having Exchange on hard drives? It is the only thing that I'm aware that I've changed in the last 2 projects and am now having this problem. Your help would be welcome, Charlie is estimated

  Is that what you said "Labels"? As in the printed label stuck on the DVD?

  It would be a big Doh!

  Labels printed (such as the creation of a stamper lablel) will make your DVD jump.

• Recommendation of scratch disk

  Hello

  My MacBook Pro is hard to edit videos recorded in 1920 x 1080 @ 60 p; H.264. most of my projects will be approximately 15-30 minutes long and the clips I use are typically 02:00 minutes to 30 seconds each. I heard the implementation of a Scratch disk can help considerably. I am on a budget and you want to spend about $50 or less. Can anyone recommend a good external hard drive that will have the speed and size that I have to make a decent record scratch?

  I'm under first CC on:

  MacBook Pro retina

  Intel Core i7 2.7 Ghz

• CC 2015 made history States use zero disk or ram?

  Hello

  may I know if the historical State of photoshop cc 2015 uses the ram or the drive working?

  because I would increase the number in the State of history

  Thank you

  mantralightroom wrote:

  Hello

  Yes, but in the article it has

  Each State history, or snapshot, of an operation that affects the entire image increases the amount of scratch disk space requires the file.

  I guess that it is outdated, and and I guess the new photoshop uses the drive working

  In short if I increae the history State will be photoshop cc 2015 consume more RAM or use the disc more work?

  I guess the answer is that it uses both, but it will certainly impact on the RAM first.   How much RAM you have, and how many States history do you have set?   I expect to be OK with 50 States on a system with 8 GB of RAM.  I use 200 with 32 GB, but Photoshop ever closer by using all the available RAM.

  If you are using Windows, open the Task Manager > Performance tab and keep an eye on the use of the RAM and CPU.  I tried it out of curiosity and with all the States of 1000 maximum, the use of the RAM does not change until you start editing.  My system went from 6.2 to 6.8 GB RAM GB used after 100 and 7.6 GB after only 200 strokes brush strokes.

• Scratch disk on drive C.

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem with PS CC2014 on a machine pro Win7 64 bit with 32 GB of Ram and 6 hard drives (SSD for the OS and applications, another two SSD for zero and one for storage - the mechanical drives are for storage and backup).

  My problem is the scratch disk file does not devote drive even if it is assigned in the prefs, instead it goes in C: > users > [name of computer] > AppData > Local > Temp > I'm working on very large images (digital art hand drawn) @280x120cm @200ppi (22047 x 9449 pixels) and space is running on C :

  PS tells me the scratch disk is full and I can not open extra files - economy seems ok (for now)... Any ideas what's happening? I work on Pro work I don't need this issue.

  In you preferences, you must remove C: in the list of drives to work or move location in the list to be the last in the list. Photoshop it will fill with drive working fist before moving on the next drive to work.  Photoshop also uses user on the C: drive space when it creates a temporary file for ASR and the temporary file created when you reopen the layer to smart object.  So even if you delete C: in the list of Scratch Disk Photoshop will use the space on your C: drive for temporary files.   If you are running windows do not use Photoshop if your startup disk is low on free space.

• "Could not initialize photoshop because"scratch disks"is full."

  "Could not initialize photoshop because"scratch disks"is full." This is the error message that appears when I try to open my Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. I just installed this program on my new HP Pavilion model h8-1214, which has 1.8 TB of space with 10.0 GB of RAM. I have read the forums on this problem, but they say how to solve the problem through Photoshop. How can I fix the scratch disk settings without being able to open Photoshop? Please help me with this problem of the Adobe Support team will not even answer my question...

  Thank you.

  By far the simplest solution is to upgrade to photoshop elements 10 or newer, which has no problem with big hard drives and has some new features you may like.

  It is available for a 30 day trial.

  In fact the pse versions 3 and later versions have no problem with large hard drives.

  Here are some things you can try that might work:

  Option 1: Just after the double click on the PES shortened 2 press the Ctrl + Alt keys and press and hold keys until you get the scratch disk Preferences dialog box

  then choose your recovery as the first partition. This only works if you have a recovery partition or another hard drive smaller installed that you can use as the scratch disk.

  (I don't have a partition recovery on this computer)

  

  Option 2. Retractable (shrink volume) present HDD up to 1 TB

  Option 3: If you have windows 7 pro or ultimate, you can use virtual xp (download from microsoft)

• SSD for the Scratch, Cache and swap file?

  Certainly, startup disk and RAID3 9-drive (7K 3000) the map of Areca-16. HDDs but... I was wondering, as I refine my construction, on the use of SSDS Strath, Cache and the pagefile.

  It seems to me that constant random access to these files (small for most), could be somewhat competing for overall throughput (they have been configured on the RAID3 alongside media and project). In an ideal configuration, it would be a practical or advantageous to have 2 x SATA3 SSDs RAID0 for Cache, the Scratch and the pagefile? (and whatever else reconstructible temporary structures). In addition, in order to move the traffic far form the Areaca PCIe lanes, would it be more effective to RAID0 on SATA3s to the mobo? What would be the ideal size for these disks (min and max)?  2 x 60GB would do? Or 2x120GB? More?

  I have also heard that, because of the nature of the scratch and cache, it would be better to have them on two separate drives? Or is it just an urban legend?

  Frederic,

  Bays of drive and the system configuration questions are good, but if I or someone had to answer us would be influenced by our own test files, projects, we have worked on, controller CPU, RAM, the card (or the lack of) and much more.

  Given that what you're building has several similarities to mine, I'll share some of my own conclusions. To the topic specific answers like "how many disks in a RAID before it's inconsequential", it depends on so many things you should probably stop asking questions like this, because it may depend on certain things - CODEC, number of layers, transitions, filters, etc..

  Things I'll comment based on similarities between the system you are creating and mine (X 58, 6-core CPU, 24 GB of RAM, controller Areca w / large cache (2 GB or more)):

  1 move the pagefile seems really make a big difference on my system. So therefore, I keep in my table of OS/programs.

  2. faster I ran used two large paintings with the projects, the media and all the files "scratch" on a table and "hide media" and released on the second. While the difference was not huge, the fastest result for PPBM5 comparative analysis was achieved but put 'media cache DB' on my OS/programs, which use SSDS.

  So, how do proceed you?

  1. load your operating system and programs on your disk boot or start table.

  2. set up your Areca and drives in RAID 0, load some concrete projects similar to what you'll be using this system for, and test. Run PPBM5 too, it's a very useful common denominator that can be used to modify your own system and do it before / after comparison of the changes you are trying. IMO, a drive of 9 or 10 RAID 3 or 5 (or 6 besides) works well enough for everything. [Readers here who have a big RAID 0 out of their motherboard, I don't know if this is true for you or not, my test was done with all the great paintings hanging on a controller from Areca]

  3. for answering your question about "Hard drives how much you" on your own system and with your own projects, simply repeat step #2 using a small RAID 0 array. Latest Areca SAS RAID controllers so fast, that I would say that you can count on very similar performance with a RAID 0 array with one less than road when you build the dos system to desired PARITY RAID; with the exception of RAID 6, of course, who would actually perform '2 disks' more small.

  4 configure your final bar selected with parity, load your projects and you're done!

  Another way, you can go forward? (Less time, less optimized, version case potentially filled with several discs, heat and energy than the 'optimal' generation) Note that I tested with a few large RAID 0 arrays that will be in my final build, and I use these disks for the storage of off-site backup.

  1 build your big array with PARITY from the outset.

  2. start to use the system and if it works well for you, you are finished.

  As for RAID 3, 5, 30 and more, I use my table of data for editing more video, so go with RAID 5 was a simple choice for me. That being said, it seems to me that in my system (using a large cache ARECA controller and drives of 1 TB 7200 32 MB cache) a player "a less" RAID 0 seems to work only about the same as a RAID 5, so I don't think that the ineffectiveness of the RAID 5 or RAID 3 for large files (aka video editing) may be noticeable.

  Kind regards

  Jim
