SSD + HDD slow

Despite the abundant discussions about setting up the right hard drive for Lightroom (v 4), I'm still struggling to understand what to choose when buying my new desktop PC without blowing my budget.

Guess this processor, RAM, card mother and all those who are up to the task, which should I go with regarding the HDD/SSD (under a limited budget)?

I want a * calm * system with three roaring 10 000 rpm hard drives so no choice. If anything I would use low power and low noise (5400 RPM) hard drives, which could be combined with an SSD. What a stupid installation with hard drives being a neck of the bottle? For example, is a 128 GB SSD (for the OS Windows 7/64, apps, cache LR) + 1 TB 5400 RPM HARD drive (for image files) a good compromise between performance and noise?

No, since there is no trade off the coast.

Even green read hard drives to above ~ 100 MB/s, which represents a fraction of one

in the second place for a raw file. And requiring them random access has no importance for

files larger than 10 to 20 MB.

For example, is a 128 GB SSD (for the OS Windows 7/64, apps, cache LR) + 1 TB

5400 RPM HARD drive (for image files) a good compromise between performance and

the noise?

  • SSD suddenly slow down the MacBook Pro 13 "early 2011

    Hey guys,.
    I bought my MacBook Pro with two hard drives. SSD in the main slot and HDD CD-Rom instead. It works incredible fast without any problem since more than six months, and suddenly my Mac became super slow for no reason. I try with a clean install of Maveriks, Lion, Yosemite and Capitan on ssd cleaned and formatted, but the rest of the problem. Need more than 3 to 5 minutes only to get the log on screen (before the time of full reboot was 23 seconds) and if I'm lucky around 10-30 min to load the hole with files systems. I tried with the SSD on my other laptop and it works great, I remove the other hhd, changing all the discs in all possible combinations, and the problem is still there. Anyone with the same problem or solution for this? I really need help to solve this problem because looks like * now. I use applications like photoshop, ableton, traktor and other for audio and video processing and I need my mac to be fast as if it was.

  • iMac SSD & HDD

    Hello

    I'm looking to install a SSD Samsung Eco 2 TB and a normal digital black among Westerners of 6 TB HDD, can I ask people their advice? I try to have ssd as my boot drive and the 6 TB for backup and the files.

    (a) problems with the selected material

    (b) it is useful, wise money for example I should save a little more and buy a new iMac

    (c) are there alternatives

    looking to make a TI takes forever to go start cold.

    I have a mid 2011 iMac i7 (12,2) with the last what OS X installed.

    Cheers in advance,

    RK based in the United Kingdom

    The major issue that you will have is that the 2011 iMac is not a disk controller capable of working with a 3 to or more large internal drive. Furthermore, what is the point of this large an SSD? If the Samsung Eco models are cheaper SSD, while they are cheaper because they are made with older chips may not correspond to current levels of performance. Do you really need a 2 TB SSD for a boot disk? A smaller and better quality SSD may be a better choice.

  • HP 15-AY503TX: the use of SSD & HDD on HP 15-AY503TX

    Is the HP laptop 15-AY503TX a long Bay of hard drive to accommodate an internal SSD?

    It is the repair:

    Manual

    Look at pages 61 and 66. You can use EITHER a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD or a WSSD m2. They use different media to but either uses the SATA header on the motherboard so 2 disks in the laptop at the same time will not happen. Your model came with a hard disk of 1 TB 5400 RPM 2.5 inch which is slow by today's standards.

    The other thing, I want to emphasize is that any changes made to the configuration of the hard drive you need to remove the back cover, to jeopardize the warranty. Still, isn't super hard to do, but you need to know.

    Your laptop has no trolley/caddy/adapter for a disc of m2, so if you want it to be quick for investment less I would setup a 2.5 inch SATA SSD in the Bay, illustrated on page 61 in place of the existing hard drive. Then, you could take the original hard drive 1 TB 5400 RPM and put it in a caddy/adapter in place of the optical drive (see p. 48). It would have to belong to a third party, but they are widely available on amazon.com and elsewhere. Of course, you lose the DVD player, but who really uses it these days, anyway. The replacement of the optical drive is actually allowed by the warranty, it is so easy to do.

    The operating system (Windows) on the SSD and use the 1 TB drive in the DVD Bay as storage device.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Double disc SSD/HDD on MacBook Pro late 2011

    So I finally finished putting my double drive on my MacBook Pro late 2011. I ended up putting the SSD where the optical drive has been, since research told me that the end 2011 MBP is the lucky model with an optical drive that supports Sata III. If anyone can give me a reason to spend my SSD and HDD, please let me know.

    Anyway, now I ask to help with setting up my macbook pro to use two disks. I copied everything on the SSD and the SSD drive is set to start my computer to the top. I can already tell that this thing is so much faster now. However, I basically just have two exact copies of my all my stuff on the two disks. How can I configure my computer to know which drive to use? I want a few things to use my HARD drive and other things to use my SDD, not all at once. Where are these settings and how to do?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Jdsr4c:

    I have a Macbook Pro 2011 start.

    I installed a 500 GB Samsung 850 EVO instead of HD.

    I moved the HD to the optical Bay.

    Optical Bay has 3 Gigabit speed. HD space has a 6 Gigabit speed.

    See the screenshots of my mac.

    The old HD, I would reformat is not bootable.

    I use my old HD for storage of movies, etc.

    So for example, I'll download a movie and then move it to my old hard drive. I'll put it in a directory named for example movies.

    On the SSD, I'll do an 'Alias' pointing to the movies on the old HD directory (on windows, it would be a shortcut).

    In any case, hope this helps.

  • Satellite L500-19th - connection of the second SSD/HDD internal

    According to the control system L500-19th has a free SATA port.

    Port 0: free
    Port 1: HDD internal (1 TB Western D)
    Port 4: DVD drive internal
    Port 5: drive external eSATA connecting

    I intend to connect an SSD on port 0.
    Where can I find the port?

    If this does not work, I would buy a HARD - setting for the tree of CD-ROM drive.

    If you have installed their so-called "activation software", which is probably the culprit

  • T420 sizes of disk Physics Max (SSD/HDD)

    My venus T420 with a 320 GB Seagate HDD (6mm high) who was quickly put on a 160 GB Intel X-25 (height 7.5 mm). Recently, I needed more space and tried an another upgrade to a 256 GB OCZ Vertex 4 (9mm height). The OCZ is uncomfortably tight and I'm afraid to damage the laptop, so I'm holding off trying to find an SSD of 7mm. What SSD others use to upgrade their T420 to 256 GB and more?

    An alternative is to buy and connect a drive 256 GB mSATA and put back the old 320 HARD drive in the drive tray. But this raises the question of the limits of size of HARD drive. Most (all?) 1 TB drives are double tray and too big for the T420. So my second question is what is the largest capacity HARD drive that would fit in the T420 drive tray?

    The mSATA option seems more elegant and offers a lot of total storage space. What I forget?

    Gentlemen, first of all thanks for all these information on physical disk sizes and on the other hand, I thank you for the direction of me in the right direction. When I got my calipers out, I assumed the problem was of height of the disc. But your contribution suggested that my 9.06 mm high disk should work perfectly.

    The culprit turned out to be the widthof the car. I used screws with heights of head high to mount the drive in the caddy. After the damper rubber on the screws, the set was too broad.

    More small screw and life is perfect. Now cloning!

  • SSD + HDD at the same time on my Aspire E5 - 572G

    The title almost says it all, I want to buy a new SSD (preferebly samsung 850 evo pro 250 GB) and use it in this laptop, but I want that my hard drive in the laptop for storage reasons. There are 2 docks hdd or w/e they are called in this laptop? Alternatively, I can remove the optical driver (DVD-ROM) and put the ssd in its place? Perhaps a solution other than the two that I mentioned above? FYI, I want a SSD internal flash disk as the one I mentioned above, so don't suggest those external, since it is a laptop and must always be portable.

  • How to re-enable loading the recovery partition after stock mSATA SSD HDD cloning?

    Dear community,

    This weekend I managed to install mSATA 80 GB Intel SSD on my older X 220 of 1 month. With the help of the Intel Data Migration Software my HARD drive 320 GB stock has been cloned on mSATA SSD 80 GB with the downsizing of the system partition main Windows7_OS (66GB instead of 287 GB) and the preservation of the windows loading partition SYSTEM_DRV and ThinkVantage Rescue & Recovery partition Lenovo_Recovery in place. Later, I removed the HARD drive to stay on the SSD system only for testing purposes.

    While Windows loads fine, the BlueButton seems to be a malfunctioning now: instead of loading the partition of ThinkVantage Rescue & recovery it shows me the message of Windows loader telling me that it cannot find the target system more. What's wrong? Is there a way to remedy this?

    NOTE: When I'm pulling HDD inplace and pushing the BlueButton then R & R support very well! It seems that ThinkVantage seeks R & R partition on the disk instead of SSD.

    Thank you!

    OK, answering my own question: Reinstall ThinkVantage Rescue & recovery could help as soon as it re - initializes the boot partition as well.
