SCSI vs SATA in HDD VM settings.

Hello

I just upgraded to Fusion 8. I have a MacBook Pro 15 "mid 2015 (the one with the flash SSD) and I installed Windows Home 10 in a virtual machine."

In the settings/hard disc VM, I see three options for 'Type of Bus': SCSI, IDE and SATA. The default merge chose is SCSI. Is it better to leave it as it is, or should I put it to SATA? As I use Visual Studio on Windows, each gain perf rejoice more and I was wondering if in mode will make a difference.

Many thanks for any help.

Hello

If it makes a difference then the difference is quite tiny as the limits are applied by the host system.

The default values are normally your best bet on what they are listening to VMware.

In this case the SCSI virtual device as far as I KNOW has a greater depth of queue as the SATA, so - at least theoretically - it, you should get better performance by sticking with the disk virtual scsi.

PS: I forget - in theory - I have not personally ran the performance tests on Windows 10 guests.

  • Win 7 Pro X 64; system does not recognize my Sata HDD Ext USB Powered clos

    In the recent past, my system no longer recognizes my Powered Sata USB HDD Ext I closed deleted the April May security updates and nothing does not. Two updates would not uninstall: KB3020369 & KB3020370. They were both installed on May 7, just about the time the ext drive was not recognized.

    Thinking that the box Sata or HARD drive was unusable, I bought two new nothing helps. I think the above updates are the culprits. All the other external USB work correctly - key USB & USB powered drives Ext. I tried all the mentioned community wrapper work without result. Need help from MS on how to uninstall the updates above? The only thing I can think of to test my Win 7 should save all the files and images to all readers on an ext HDD and do a clean install without security updates. And then install updates one at a time security test activity USB I'm going. Also, I see other people having the same

    problems.

    FIX

    Problem solved. In my case, the external hard drive was plugged in and powered and the external drive appeared in 'surely remove the material and the media', but does not appear in Windows Explorer. It was enough of a drive letter. Left click on start, Control Panel, administrative tools, COMPUTER MANAGEMENT, storage, MANAGEMENT OF DISKS.  A list of drives has been shown. Mine has no drive letter. I have a click right and select the simple volume on the dark line, and followed the instructions.

    Everything is normal and I already copied the files on it. Thank you all for your efforts and help.

  • Start with a SATA hard drive

    I'm still trying to find a way to use my SATA drive (connected via a PCI-SATA controller card) as my main/startup disk. My BIOS/CMOS settings don't seem to have the ability to use the SCSI or SATA pci card.

    I read that it may be necessary to 'slipstream' PCI-SATA drivers in a Windows XP installation.
    After trying to install SCSI drivers when using a WINXP installation - I get an option, press F6 to install the SCSI drivers but so far without success.
    As a result, now on initialize to top, I choose boot WINXP and WINXP installation every time.
    This happens whenever I turn on the pc.
    Is it possible to disable this procedure?
    Thanks for any help.
    Ray.

    Thanks Palcouk, for the info., on startup. Boot normally now.

    I sent the mobo maker (GB), FYI (LOGILINK) SATA controller card.
    GIGABYTE suggested contact LOGILINK. I await their response (10 days ago)
    Go and upawards eh!

  • Virtual a gray SATA?

    One of the new features in Fusion 2013 is supposed to be the ability to add SATA as ESXi virtual drives.  I tried to add a new drive and I see IDE, SCSI and SATA is grayed out.  Is it an option only when the guest operating system is Windows? Or just not alive and active again?

    Machines virtual ESXi can use SATA drives, as long as the virtual machine uses the latest version of virtual hardware (as Andre mentioned).

    Go to the VM menu > settings > compatibilityand reconfigures the virtual machine to use the latest virtual material by selecting upgrade button (or, under Advanced Options, you choose the 10hardware version).  Then, try to change the SATA drive again.

    See you soon,.

  • Optimize the settings of PC or æ to Vista PC?

    Hello world

    I recently upgraded to CS4 and also upgraded to a new PC also.

    Here are the specs:

    • Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz
    • 8GB OCZ PC6400 800 MHz Titanium Edition RAM (4 x 2 GB Dual Channel Kits)
    • Palit HD4670 512 MB graphics card
    • 300GB Sata II HDD
    • Vista Home Premium x 64 SP1
    • DGM 24 '' monitor (1920 x 1200 Res.)

    Initially the pc came with 2 GB of RAM not expensive shit, so I upgraded to some nice stuff. Now, I also upgraded the RAM again today (from 4 GB to 8 GB) with exactly the same kit dual channel that I had before, I found that my RAM was to be used very quickly when you try to do some of the things with AE.

    I had a quick look in the preferences and see that there are options for the parameters of memory and multiple processors that can be changed.


    So, based on my profile what do people recommend to change? Or should I leave them alone and change something in Vista itself to help speed up the program upward?

    See you soon.

    So, based on my profile what do people recommend to change? Or should I leave them alone and change something in Vista itself to help speed up the program upward?

    Probablty you don't want to change anything, unless there is a reason. Seriously

    About the operating system, you already have the most important thing - choose a 64-bit flavor.

    The default settings should work fine for most cases. An exception would be, for example, if you do not have enough RAM to feed all four cores (8 GB is perfect for that). Just make sure that when you turn on "Rendering of several simultaneous plot", AE informs that he will use all 4 cores (there is a summary at the bottom of the memory and multiprocessing preferences).

    You can move the cursor that says 'Plu RAM made of the previews/Faster' a little more towards "Found more RAM", but there is probably more general recommendations of workflow that would help get more out of your RAM.

    I imagine that you work with resolutions HD, right? Which takes a lot of memory when generating previews RAM (as much as 150-250 megabytes per SECOND, depending on the resolution and the pace!). If you set the resolution to "Half" AND you also set the account of 50% zoom, you would look at something that is very nice and takes half as much memory (note the menu resolution has an "auto" setting that takes care of keeping it automatically in sync with the zoom factor). If you want to use 32-bpc treatment, turn it back on once it is essential and maintain the depth of 8 bpc project, while this is not.

  • Portege M700 - Speed/standdard for new SSD SATA

    Hello
    I would like to by SSD drive for my Toshiba Portege M700-116.

    What dish speed SATA can I buy?

    SATA 1.0 (SATA 1.5 Gb/s)
    SATA 2.0 (SATA 3 Gb/s)
    SATA 3.0 (SATA 6 Gb/s)

    Thank you
    Jan

    Hello

    I'm not quite sure on the SATA specification, but I think that the Portege M700 m supports SATA II HDD controller.
    However, you can install like Sisoft SANDRA hardware diagnostic tools for detailed specifications of controller.

    But SATA is backward compatible, which means that even if you want to use a SATA III SSD, SSD drive would be recognized but speed will be limited to the performance of SATA II.

  • What HARD drive I can use in Satellite U300 (issue of SATA)

    I have 4 years Toshiba U300. Recently, the hard drive (200 GB 5400 RPM) broked down.
    I want to replace but I don't know that can use any SATA II HARD drive, or I have to use the HDD with SATA I?
    On some forums, I found two users that puted new HARD drive in the old laptop and they complained that the speed of OS boot was hopeless.

    So the question is what HARD drive should I buy for this laptop?
    (I prefer capacity 320 or 500 GB)

    Hello

    SATA controller is downward compatible, you can use SATA I or SATA II HDD.
    It is important that you would use SATA 2.5 HDD. The size is not very important for 500 GB configuration issues should be ok too.

  • Dv6 - 6153cl supports hard drives SATA III?

    I have a problem with my laptop and I think I've narrowed the problem down to the HARD drive. I want to replace and update, but I don't know what drives can I use.

    I would like to know if I can install a SATA III HARD disk in my computer laptop dv6 - 6153cl. From what I can tell, it currently has an installed SATA II HDD. Can I switch from SATA III or am I stuck with SATA II?

    Download the SATA-III. Even if the motherboard supports only SATA-II (not true in your case), you can use the SATA-III drives. SATA is fully backward compatible. But, yet again, your motherboard HM65 chipset that supports support SATA-III. A good rule of thumb is that if it has USB 3.0 is also SATA-III. Not 100% true but terribly close to true.

  • Question of VAMT/Activation: Frequently reinstall Windows from Scratch - failing HDD and is about to replace it.

    Hello

    My HARD current (500 GB SATA 3 HDD Toshiba) drive is defect and displaying a warning. I bought a new WD 750 GB HDD to replace by ensuring that it is compatible with SATA 3.

    Problem: Reinstall Windows 7 Professional and Office 2010 Professional Plus activation of both of them.

    Activation/products affected: They are "Retail" (MAK) versions, but University so the activation limit is between 2 and 5. (Yes, they are installed on a single computer, are genuine and conform...).

    Background: I'm a college student, HE takes classes and we need to install a lot of software intensive resources. I usually reinstall Windows every 4-6 months to "Start fresh" I noticed increased performance and install only necessary software. It's up to the activations MAK is expected.

    Aim: I would like to use the tool, VAMT 2.0 (or ideally 3.0 - but I have no knowledge of SQL). Also, I do not have a server, just 2 or 3 Mobile Standard (8.1 of Windows, Windows XP Home Edition and this Windows 7 PC).

    I have already watched the video below on VAMT 2.0 before posting:

    http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/using-VAMT-2-0/10tkzhtlq

    Can I use activation by proxy in this case to "preserve the Activations using VAMT to store Installation and Confirmation IDS to avoid having activation problems common? If Yes, can someone please help me?

    I tried to put the Windows WMI firewall rules allow for the Public, home and work on both PC but could not activate during a previous attempt a few months ago.

    Any help is appreciated more than. I am all my backup files and need to get this done before the resumption of classes at the college level (in 3 days).

    Thank you in advance and sorry for the long post!

  • is scsi is also used inside computers for hard drives or just external connector?

    Hello

    I would like to know if the scsi as SATA connection was also used inside computers or he external connection only.

    If used inside computers, this means that there is a special relationship such as a SATA or EIDE! If Yes, what is the name of this connector is coonector scsi?

    Johan

    Hello Johan,.

    Thanks for posting your question on the forum of the Microsoft community.

    Small computer system interface (SCSI) is a set of standards to connect and transfer data between computers and devices physically.

    The SCSI standards define commands, protocols, and electrical and optical interfaces. SCSI is most often used for hard disks and tape drives.

    A SCSI connector is used to connect computer parts that use a system called SCSI to communicate between them. Generally, the two connectors, designated male and female, plug together to form a connection that allows two components, such as a computer and a disk drive, communicate with each other

    Also see this article:
    Benefits of the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)

    Thanks for your help, as I said, im new to windows and really making the transition to work!

    Im running windows 8

    Hi Rhuari,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you want to move the programs of SSD in your SATA drive (HDD). Ideally, it must install new programs on the other disk to ensure smooth program. However, there is a solution where you can copy the image of the system on the other disk.

    For example, you can create a System Image backup and Update your pc with this disc of System Image. This process uses the Image of the system on the disk instead of default system image stored on the recovery of Windows partition.

    By default, desktop applications are removed when you refresh a computer Windows 8, unless you create a custom image. After you have created a customized system image, the image is used as the refresh image. This means that any existing image or image OEM restore is not used when you refresh your computer.

    You can check out the article below to create a System Image to update your system.

    How to create a System Image to refresh your PC in Windows 8

    (Article is for Windows 8.1)

    Note: Although the process of creating System Image normally causes no data loss, but it is strongly recommended that you back up all your important data to any external drive before trying any of the suggestions above to create the system image or refresh your PC.

    Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.
