Samsung 950 PRO SSD M.2 NVM PCI-Express 512 GB - video project files / Scratch Disk/Preview

Western Digital Enterprise Class WD Re + 6 to - videos / pictures of storage files

Black Western Digital 4 TB - backup

Question:

(1) if I buy a Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB SSD and place my photo storage, would there be a significant speed upgrade when I use Lightroom in the Library tab when I browse through the photos in the grid view and miniature to its larger size? I have 1000 + photos and I want to be able to navigate through it a bit fast. The speed increase would be significant or only minimal since I was already using a Western Digital Black / RE already? If the speed increase is in importing files only so I'm not interested. I want the upgrade of speed in browsing the photos.

(2) using the 1:1 previews make navigation I want faster? Or is the previews if you zoom in? Lightroom uses the Preview 1:1 display/large mode library/grid?

Note: I can't try it again now on the system indicated above, given that my system is not yet done. I'm still waiting for parts that are not yet available here in the Philippines.

Thank you.

N ° there is only a difference of trivial speed, you would never notice.

Put your photos on the slower drive, that you have, you will not see a difference. Do not put the photos on a fast disk. See will be an SSD performance of Adobe Lightroom? Computer darkroom

Speed of the drive also does not improve the speed of importing either.

(2) using the 1:1 previews make navigation I want faster? Or is the previews if you zoom in? Lightroom uses the Preview 1:1 display/large mode library/grid?

Yes. And you can also select an option for previews, never delete so previews are still present in case you revisit these photos in a year (for example). Put your catalog file and found on the SSD.

  • iPhone Photo / video storage?

    Hello

    I have an iPhone 64 GB 6 s. I use the photos app with thousands of pictures and videos stored in the cloud. I have "value for the storage of the iPhone" enabled on my phone, but still have "photos and camera" with 30 GB of my iphone storage (my entire library is about 100 GB).

    I have 70 GB of my available icloud allocation.

    Why isn't this 30 GB in the cloud, thus freeing up space on my phone?

    Thank you!

    Just a thought - is the 30 GB I actually mention the optimized versions of 120 + GB of photos / videos...?

  • Using Adobe Revel for customer photos - Secure storage?

    Hello!

    I am new to being a photographer, and I bought Adobe Revel to share photos with my clients. I'm doing an album by client, download via Lightroom 4 publication system. To share photos, I click on share Album to Revel and send my customers the long URL provided. HOWEVER, I do not know if Revel is safe enough - I don't want the photos to be searchable or end anywhere on the internet except to those who have the link. So I would like that it was also password protected so that my customers feel safe and that he is a professional approach to sharing as a photographer of files. I checked, and unfortunately, it seems that there is no option for password protecting albums in Adobe Revel. Do you know if Revel is safe enough with just the link? The images are absolutely NOT searchable through Google etc. ? Thanks for any input. If by chance, you have a better solution for photography for photographers to share, please tell!

    Ingeborg

    Our current concept of sharing albums is secured by the nature of the length, the random and the darkness of the URL.  If you have any concerns that others have or can find the link, you can turn the sharing and reactivate it periodically to generate a new link and re - share the album with the new link to the named individuals.

    For w10pro c: / recommend reinstall to ssd or migrate ssd or even is...?

    SSDS all have sons the same size and holes threaded on the bottom and sides.  They all use the same fine metric threads live short (short, so they don't lower).  These screws must come with the adapter, and I live in general using the lateral holes.  Parts of the adapter have threaded, 3 holes and you will use the back ahead and away from those for channels of the drive Bay.  If you look at each side of a standard 3.5 "HDD, you will see the same same spacing holes.

    Some jobs need the SSD to shift to the left so the orientation of the SSD SATA power and data ports match exactly where they would be if the current drive was a 3.5 "HARD drive clutter.  An example is the drive in a Z620 of drawers which accept 3.5 form factor devices "and slides of drawers in the deep part of the case and automatically mesh with ports of power/data SATA back inside.

    Jobs that fuel just a loose cable and the data cable for the SSD is really doesn't matter much if the SSD is an adapter which keeps it more centered or offset to the left.  I've seen cases where a disk HARD 3.5 "given in the lower Bay and a centered SSD is in the upper drive Bay and there was nearly not enough cable length to reach easily shifted left for drives staggered in the Center.  You can see in the photo below that the Garland of feeding on the HARD drive has two unused SATA power below connectors, and there is not a lot of room between them.

    The card you chose seems good... solid metal.  For the HP 8200 Elite CMT I have access to screws 4 total special 6-32 UNC silver HP threaded screw threaded back ahead and away from the screw holes on both sides of the adapter, and then you use the extraordinary end threads metric short screws mentioned above to fix the SSD to the adapter, as shown in the pictures of Amazon.  These HP silver screw 6-32 no metric I'm talking using Torx or flat screwdriver and their leaders are trained to slip into the channels of the drive Bay.

    There are also other designs which are designed specifically for some HP workstations that include mounts insulation rubber with the sliding mechanism.  I don't think you have that... Here is a picture of eBay one of the 8200 Desktop Elite CMT demonstrating the existence of space on the left for 8 of these silver screw to store, which 4 are missing and used on 3.5 "single drive, you see there.  Don't throw those... they are not something, you can go to Ace hardware and buy.

  • How to level a T61 HDD for one SSD without reinstall?

    Hi all. I bought this ThinkPad, I write with back in 2008 (a T61 6465-CTO with Vista and Intel integrated graphics) and he has been working a lot to me since then. I had no problems with it and his equipment is still able to manage what I have to do. However, I wanted to move her to an SSD HARD drive is faster and snappier. I know that I have would be limited at SATA1 speeds with this camera if I don't want to change the BIOS (which I did not), but I think that even this would be a great improvement on the existing HARD drive.

    To that end, I recently bought an SSD that their prices have dropped slightly (bought a new 120 GB SSD Samsung 840 for less than $100). I said SSD sitting next to me now but I did nothing yet because I want to make sure that I have the right to clone the old disk and swap in the new process. From what I understand instructions, I should:

    1 turn on the computer, install the Samsung Data Migration Software
    2. connect the SSD to a USB port via a USB-SATA Adapter
    3 clone the main for the SSD connected HARD drive using the software of data Migration
    4. turn the computer off, physically remove the old HDD and SSD in its place
    5 turn on the computer and everything should be fact/same as before (with the exception that the computer has a new storage drive)

    Is this correct?

    The HARD drive is encrypted so I removed the password for user/master I have to enter when it starts up, but what I have to do the same for the BIOS password that I am invited to when you turn on the computer? What the hidden; restore partition would clone too much or it would be lost. The HARD drive is in my opinion a 160 GB model, while the SSD is 120 GB but I have read that this difference in capacity should not be a problem since I'm using less of the new disc capacity (I have about 100 GB of free space on the HARD disk)?

    Sorry for all the questions. I have very little experience when it comes to changes in the software/hardware and I really would like to avoid wasting it so I would appreciate any help from people who have knowledge fact how to do this successfully. Thank you.

    The installation that you want to be cloning is optimized for spinning a player - not SSD - and you would have to align in a first time, disable the services later and again, you would not get the performance of a "clean" installation

    You can use any disk Vista installation as long as it matches the version (Home, Pro, full) on your COA - the worst that can happen is that you would have to call MS and activate by phone.

    I had the question why you want to the outdated drivers and other bloat Lenovo recovery partition on expensive SSD space as well, but it's your call. If you provision the reader - and I think you should - you won't initially that much space...

    TRIM running manually is certainly a possibility, but not one that I'm particularly sharp, especially on a small disc of TLC as the Samsung you have. You will need to be on it for not to have slow down for analysis.

    Good luck.

  • When I turn off the option "optimize the iphone storage" in iCloud photos, made my phone automatically re - download all my photos/videos in my phone again?

    I used the option "optimize the iphone storage" on my old phone to save space, but I hated waiting to load when I want to watch them. Now, I clicked on "Download and keep the originals", but I can't tell if my phone is re - download the original photos/videos to iCloud to my phone. What does automatically or are these pictures forever in the version "optimized" on my phone?

    Subsequently, it must download the originals. Synchronization is VERY slow, so it may take some time depending on how many photos you have.

  • photos/video extract iOS for mac messages

    Hello

    I'm looking for a way native extract/transfer and save all iOS app photos/video of my iMac message without having to flip through each thread message to select pictures and videos. There are many threads to pass by...  I've used the Preview.app to display pictures of my backup folder iPhone MobileSync on my iMac, which seems to have worked to extract all the images in the Messages.app on my iPhone at the same time. However, there was also video included, and I don't am not sure about the video was extracted from the iOS Messages.app or retrieved in a format that I can read.

    I was wondering if anyone knows a way to extract all the video and photos from an iPhone to a Mac so that I can record before deleting all messages to make room on my iPhone?  I prefer not to use if possible third-party applications.

    Thank you.

    I was able to use the details option in the upper right of any window of a particular message in order to get all the images/videos sent by this particular user. Once I've selected all the images/videos that I wanted to save I could right click on one of the image selected, who brought up the option Save this group in my library of photos.

  • Reading while writing on SSD vs HDD

    So, I've always heard that read and write to a drive HARD are not good, because it slows down the whole process (it's in the video rendering for Premiere Pro).

    So, I know that SSDS are quite a bit different.  I am assuming that the reading and writing that takes place on 1 SSD during rendering won't be nearly as much of a problem that might happen on HDD 1.  However, I am not sure about that.  Am I correct in my assumption?  If this is not the case, what kind of performance degradation can occur, it would be interesting, and how comparable would be that of a HARD drive?

    Yes, and more... regular high quality SATA III SSD which have the best controllers in them for video editing, (such as the M550 Crucial, or, the most expensive Samsung 850pro), will not suffer from "complete degradation"... lose performance as readers become more complete. In addition, the RELIABILITY... especially on the Samsung 850 Pro... is WAY higher for SSDS, as mechanical spinning disks... allowing these quality SSD to consider for RAID 0 using a much lower risk.

    What you get is the nature of the interface SATA itself... it is a "half-duplex" interface, which means that he cannot write everything by READING... and vice versa. It's like an old radio walkie... When you press the button to talk and transmit... you cannot RECEIVE anything until you release the button. So, YES, that "half-duplex" disability is always there... BUT SSD reduce its effect with their reading MUCH faster and write speed AND their "" significantly lower latency, as Eric has said.

    There ARE places to connect to devices of storage, particularly on new motherboards Haswell E X 99, which are "full duplex"... which allows to read and write at the SAME TIME.  However, to take advantage of this higher speed storage devices and connecting full duplex currently are much more expensive than the SATA devices. Peripheral PCI card storage, 'Express' SATA and M.2, can be used... but, currently, high costs and limited capacity.

    With X 99... one option is to take advantage of the huge amount of SATA! ports on motherboard and just NVRAIDMAN to create RAID 0 with SSDS for storage... or well, using cheaper hard drives, with a large 7200 rpm "enterprise level" HARD drive to SAVE the RAID0 HDD!

  • I have 0 photos/videos on iCloud. Said using its 2, 1 GB

    I have 0 photos/videos on iCloud. But it says in my phone and mac I use 2, 1 GB!

    My photos are all on the computer. The iCloud library is disabled on the Mac.

    The iCloud library is disabled on the Mac.

    It is enabled on the iPhone.

    If you use iCloud photo library on the iPhone, your photos in the Photo.app iPhone will use iCloud storage and this is what you will see in system preferences > iCloud on Mac as well. The iCloud storage is shared by all devices using the same AppleID and not separated for each device.

  • Speed: 16 GB RAM or SSD + ext HDD?

    Just look for opinions and thoughts.

    I have an early 2011 MBP, OS 10.9.5, with 8 GB of RAM and a 2 TB HARD drive.  He runs a browser, World of Warcraft and... file server.  App switching and loading game is slower than I'd like.  New finder windows sometimes take 5-10 seconds to display the contents of a directory.

    I am trying to decide how to speed it up.  I think that access to the constant random file from the backend server (3-6 Mbps permanently) interferes with the browser, finder, then access to the disc of WoW because of most of the delays.   There is little to no virtual memory swap file activity, but the game needs to load data from the disk, and even the browser seems to use for normal operations.

    Easy option:

    16 GB of RAM for about $70.  I see the Mavericks uses of spare RAM for a Cache of files, but has only 512 MB - 2 GB available.  Maybe if 16 GB of RAM gave me 8 GB of Cache files, eliminating the need for maybe 2 three (game server, browser) applications to continue using the hard drive?

    If so, El Capitan using additional memory more efficiently?

    COST: $70 for RAM

    Hard option:

    Make the main drive a 480-512GB SSD...  Take 2 to internal, only use it for music and video files, and making external but always connected.

    In addition to the other benefits of SSD, that would make my MBP laptop once again.  The 2 TB ST2000LM003 has the problem of click of 7 seconds and hdapm will not work with it.  So whenever my laptop is off, I start UBUNTU live (from a 4 GB partition), use "hdparm b 254/dev/sda" and then restart in Mac OS.  This is ridiculous and I am so angry at Apple for this bug never-will - asked, much less recognized, major who destroyed hard drives in one year, if you don't know about it.  And why isn't available under OSX hdparm?  I don't understand.

    Sigh.  But, in practice, this laptop is a desktop computer and run for months at a time.  Sometimes a reboot or picking up without closing, but I no longer consider at work or at the Café every day.  If I did, I would need an SSD or the old drive 1.5 TB who worked with hdapm, no way around it.

    Options:

    1 USB 3.0 via TB KENIMBENI adapter USB 3.  I have a USB 3 enclosure 2.5 ".  The cheapest option, but the laptop is attached to the disk and relying on the KENIMBENI adapter.

    External storage wireless would be nicer.

    COST: $150 for SSD

    2. upgrade the router to a Netgear R6400 with NAS integrated for use with the USB 3 2.5 "disk.  Is this router based reliable NASs for storage used continuously?  TPlink is FTP only, but Netgear I think supports SMB and what we call "ReadySHARE.

    I know that I have to reformat to NTFS, because I don't think that they exFAT, FAT32 has a limit of 4 GB, and nothing does support Apple HFS.

    COST: $150 SSD, $150 for router = $300

    3 router upgrade to any type of gigabit (TP-Link C7) and get a good NAS adapter or drive like WD My Cloud.

    COST: $150 SSD, $100, $150 NAS router = $400

    Or skip the router and NAS go to MBP ethernet port.  Always trendy, but more reliable than the Kanex USB3? Could be.

    RAM is obvious speedup... more work space for the busy activities.  El Capitan will use all available RAM, because it must effectively.  MacSales.com sells quality 16 GB RAM for $107.

    SSD... faster but more expensive than the HD.  MacSales /OWC sells a good internal SSD.  Your choice if the extra dollars are worth the speed.

    CarbonCopyClone (bombich.com, $40) will copy entire partitions with external disks connected with boxes to join new disks.  And makes a good routine of backup-tool.

    Can't comment on 'need to restart UBUNTU' or router problems.
