2TB Serial ATA drive alone or with 256 GB Solid Drive - Cannot decide?

I am just about to take the plunge and buy a new Mac.  I do alot of video work with Final Cut Express and I have probably 15,000 photo's on old mac.
I cannot decide whether or not to add the Solid Drive, is it worth it?  Or will the 2TB be sufficient.
Any advise is appreciated.

What lazyboyaimm meant is that, "theoretically", you could remove the CD/DVD drive from your brand new computer and install an SSD drive in that slot.  HOWEVER, it is a difficult procedure AND you would immediately VOID YOUR WARRANTY on your brand new computer.  Why would you want to do that when you can simply order the machine the exact way you want and Keep your Warranty???  I do not recommend that.
In my honest opinion, the 2 TB harddrive would be most sufficient for what you are planning to do.  The only reason for also getting the SSD drive is that you could install your OS and Applications on the SSD to make them open faster, and keep your data and files such as the photos on the much larger 2 TB drive.  You would not really need the 256 GB of additional space from the SSD, if you already had the 2TB drive; the SSD would simply allow your OS to run faster.  So the real question to you is: is running your OS and apps faster worth $500 US?  Only you can answer that.  Best wishes.
Hope that helps

    My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, I call apple support and they told me to bring it in but the nearest store is about two hours away. They said I need it to erase my hard drive but I have too many family pics on it.
    would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked on it? I could replace the internal and get an enclosure for the original until I get the pics out of it?
    Please advise, it's like five years of family pics I don't wanna loose them and I am worried.
    Thanks

    A Brody,
    I really apprecate your very quick respond, Its too late to back up as of now, my hard drive wont load at all so I cannot follow your instruction to back it up. Learn a hard lesson but I will from now on following your link.
    Also my hard drive it is not available to do the free exchange program.
    I read the OWC instruction on how to replace the drive I was just wondering if the 2TB would work on it instead of the 1 TB they offer, I specifically asked for the Seage Barracuda because I had great experiences with it on PCs.
    Again, Thank you

  • I am about to buy a 13" MacBook Pro with 256 GB SSD drive.  I want a i am about to buy a MacBook Pro Windows partition set up.  How large should it be, and can I use XP Pro or does it need to be Win 7 or 8?

    I am about to buy a 13" MacBook Pro with 256 GB SSD.  I want a Windows partition set up.  What size should it be, and can I load Win XP Pro or does it need to be Win 7 or 8?

    You can use XP but it has to be in a Virtual Machine and OS X as the host instead of as a dual boot system with XP in its own partition. That is how I run Windows on my Mac, in a Virtual Machine.
    Take a look at VritualBox from Oracle. It's free and works very well.

  • IDE drives not recognized with SATA as boot drive

    Greetings All,
    I have a new 865PE Neo2-P that has a 120 Gig SATA drive as its main boot drive. It's loaded with WinXP Home.  I'm trying to add two IDE hard drives from my previous system to the on-board controller, and it simply refuses to recognize them at all.
    I've read the FAQ, the manual, previous posts, etc., and I've tried the different BIOS settings suggested in the forum, and nothing seems to work.  The only thing I haven't been able to do as posted was to "set my SATA drive as the boot drive".  The boot selections in the BIOS only list floppy, IDE-0, and some boot manager. Not sure if the boot manager was installed by my local PC assembler or not.
    The PC shipped with the BIOS settings MSI recommends on page 3-22 and 3-23 for users wanting to use both SATA and IDE devices.  That is to say:
    Legacy Mode
    P-ATA only
    SATA Keep Yes
    PATA Channel Both
    SATA Ports P0-3rd/P1-4th
    Changing the BIOS settings only seems to lose the DVD/CD drives, and the system wants to boot off of the IDE's rather than boot from the SATA.
    What the ??!! is going on here?  Why is it so difficult to get this MB to recognize IDE devices?  I've never had this much difficulty before with any MB's, and I'm getting very frustrated.
    What should I do next?

    OK, I checked my notes.  I did try these two BIOS settings without it working:
    ATA On CHip Operate Mode: Native
    ATA Config: SATA only
    PATA Keep Enabled: Yes
    PATA Channel Selection: Both
    Set SATA as RAID: No(Only available in FIS2R/FISR versions only)
    or
    ATA On CHip Operate Mode: Native
    ATA Config: PATA only
    SATA Keep Enabled: Yes
    Set SATA as RAID: No(Only available in FIS2R/FISR versions only)
    Now, tonight I decided to try a different cable just to eliminate that. What I discovered is that the IDE1 socket is "out of spec". There are no bent pins, but the rightmost three columns of pins are larger than the others, too large for any IDE cable, and consequently it doesn't fit snugly in the socket!! (I tried plugging the MSI supplied cable from the DVD drive into that socket as well and it wouldn't fit.) I never noticed this before as I was pressing the cable in the socket as far as it would go.
    I will talk to my local manufacturer to see about getting a replacement board. It's clearly messed up. Thank you MSI for the swell quality control.

  • HP Pocket Media Drive Bay replaced with 3.5" Floppy Drive. Need Bracket

    I'd probably never find a use for the Pocket Media Drive Bay, because I don't know what one is. So I took it out, and I found out it was just another way to plug in USB. Oh my gosh. And also, it has a very strong spring. It catapulted some batteries across the room. The only good use for it is to make an internal flash drive. BUT LET'S NOT GET INTO THAT TOO MUCH. I was curious to know if my 3.5" Floppy Drive from another computer would fit in there, and it did. I was even able to make it work. But, since it's shorter than any other 5.25" drive (in height), I don't know if just any 5.25" to 3.5" bracket would work for the 3rd drive. So I tried dremeling the old frame to the old bay, and it didn't work. So where do you suggest I get a bracket made for it? PC: HP Pavilion a6200n

    Hey HughZ, 
    I'm sorry you're running into this BIOS issue. 
    If I understand correctly, you've currently got a previous BIOS version loaded by the computer shop. Is that correct?
    If so,
    1. Download and install BIOS version 5.23. You may already know but, it will restart on its own during the installation. Allow it to restart and get back to the Windows login screen or desktop.
    2. Then go to Start and Shutdown. Boot into the BIOS by tapping F10 repeatedly at power on. 
    3. Once you're in BIOS press F5 to Set the BIOS to Default Settings. You won't get a message or any feedback but just press F9 once and then press F10 to Save and Exit. Yes to confirm and Windows should load normally. 
    4. Once Windows has loaded, Shutdown again and test the power on sequence to see if your issue remains. 
    If it does, you can also go into BIOS and arrow over to Boot. Change Boot-time Diagnostic Screen to Enabled if it is Disabled. Also, let me know what the other tabs' (Advanced, Power and other settings in Boot) settings are set to. You can take pictures and post them with your reply, if you'd like. Let me know the results when you get a chance

  • MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and Serial ATA Drive

    I've got a very strange problem....
    Yesterday i have installed my new motherboard (MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR) but i have a problem with the SATA feature.
    I've got two drives : one 40GB ATA (Western Digital) and one 160GB SATA also from Western Digital.
    My SATA drive is recognized by the FastTrak BIOS (v2) but i'm unable to reinstall Windows XP Professional (with SP2 Slipstreamed) because Windows Setup didn't recognize the SATA disk. I have loaded the Promise Serial ATA Drivers at the begin of the installation (F6)...
    I have also tried 2 different versions of the Promise SATA Drivers; the one that cames with my motherboard CD, and the most recent from the MSI website. But with both drivers the same result. How can i get my Serial ATA Harddisk get work with this motherboard?
    Any help will be appreciated. 
    Thanks,
    Computerfreakje.
    PS : My specifications are the following:
    MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR (Rev. 7.4)
    AMD Athlon XP 2500+
    2x 256MB Kingston PC3200 Dual Channel
    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb (R360)
    Western Digital 40GB ATA
    Western Digital 160GB SATA

    Thanks for your reply Richard,
    My motherboard didn't came with a floppy (I have bought an bulk version..) I have created a SATA floppy by myself. (I have got the drivers from the motherboard cd..) These drivers are also good, right?
    Which type of RAID Array should i create? Because i have only one SATA drive.....
    I think the "auto" feature is the easiest way?
    Thanks.

  • Can't get IDE drive to work with K8N NEO2

    I built my computer two months ago.  The only hard drive I installed was a Samsung 160GB SATA.  The Windows XP installation was flawless and the system has worked perfectly ever since.  
    This past week I decided to install my old Western Digital IDE hard drive.  I connected it to PATA port 1 on the motherboard.  It's jumpered as a Primary device and connected to the primary port on the IDE cable.  
    The problem is that when I boot the computer with the IDE drive connected it will hang on the gray Platinum screen for around 5 minutes.  If I hit DEL and enter BIOS after 5 minutes I can see that the drive is detected and the boot order already was set for the SATA drive first and the IDE drive second.  Then if I reboot it hangs on the Platinum screen again for five minutes.  When it finally clears that I get messages indicating that no boot device is available.  If I shut down, disconnect the IDE drive, and reboot with only the SATA drive connected it boots flawlessly.  
    I checked my device manager and see that the nvidia nforce3 250 Parallel ATA controller and Serial ATA controller drivers are installed.  
    Is there anything else I can check or do to get the computer to boot with an IDE drive connected?  
    Thanks!

    WD drives are special compared to others .
    If they are alone on the ide channel they shall not be jumpered as master .
    This is only when it is sharing the channel with another ide/atapi device .
    Instead the jumper shall be removed , they call it single drive jumpering (SD).
    And the reason why bios get hung is :
    It finds a master jumpered drive , and since it does it will try to detect the slave
    but there isn't one .

  • Serial ATA / SSD combo situation

    I have the 2011 iMac 2TB Serial ATA and ~275 GB  Solid State Drive Combo. The SSD hard drive is getting full. How do I move larger files, like iphoto library to the serial ATA. Will iphoto still "know" to get the photos from there? Will it know to import to the 2T serial ATA as opposed to the SSD? I am assuming the process is more involved that simply copying the folder from the SSD and pasting it to the serial ATA.
    Thanks in advance.
    PS. I have very limited computer knowledge, so simple is best.

  • Hard drive performance issue with DPX & MXF files

    Hi everyone,
    I spent hours on this forum reading articles about hardware to use for editing large files. I also have to admit, that I made some cut backs due to budge limitations.
    I spent most of the money on CPU, motherboard, & ram (6 core  32 gigs , hell of nice MB)  ( Video card= gtx 760 2 gig  )So ok,  I cheaped out on the hard drives. (I think)
    I put (2) 7200 rpm  drives (raid 0) as my Operating  system
    (1) External  8TB RAID  G drive (USB 3.0 ) as my Media drive. (footage)
    (2) 7200 drives (Raid 0)  as my Cache Drive
    I then opened up an OLD project using canon 5D footage (h264 mov) and some DPX sequence files.
    The 5D fooatge played in real time BUT as soon as it ran into the DPX sequence, the frames dropped.
    I wanted to cry. I just spent 1,600.00 on  parts (&3000.00 pc retail if I bought it instead of building it)
    And I got the same performance as my old quad core 6600/ 6 ram system. WHAT GIVES????
    So, can someone recommend the cheapest workaround that can get me editing in realtime?
    Do you think it's the 3.0 usb connection?
    The footage I will be editing will be from the canon c300 (MXF files)
    My fear is, if I am dropping frames with DPX file, what's going to happen when I get the MXF files?
    Fun Facts:
    I tested my OS drives, cache & media,and I was getting 290-301mb/sec  READ SPEEDS
    Thanks in advance !

    Loucann,
    I do not have the data on a three drive RAID 0 but here is a two drive RAID 0 with good Seagate ST2000DM001 drives.  I have to say "good" because there have been two varieties available, some with two platters and some with three platters.  The preferable are with two platters and my experience shows these drive to have an "E" in the third character of the Serial Number like Z1E1ME4V  They are slightly faster than the three platter versions.  Here is the HD Tune Read of the two better ST2000DM001 drives in RAID 0 on my system.
    The best connection is to have all three on a RAIDable Intel SATA III connection but I am doubtfull if this can be accomplished on many motherboards, maybe Eric can comment and enlighten us.

  • ? on K8T-Neo's factory Serial ATA cables

    The orange Serial ATA cables that come with the MSI K8T Neo motherboard - are those male or female connectors?
    Also, I noticed that the cables are almost 2 feet long. Does anyone know where I can get shorter Serial ATA cables?
    Any information is appreciated! :-)
    [Countdown to HyperX memory arriving in the mail: 3 days!]

    ...it doesn't matter which end you plug into the HDD or the mobo...I guess you would call them male...check online vendors for shorter ones...different colors...fluorescent ones...etc...

  • Replacing a Serial ATA Drive with a SSD HD

    Does anyone know if its difficult to replace a Serial ATA Drive with a SSD? And if possible and not difficult, which specs should this SSD have?

    if you buy your SSD as a kit, it comes with sata to usb connector.
    if you buy your SSD as a bare drive then go out and buy an usb external enclosure.
    Before you install your new drive, turn your computer on with your old drive, hook up your new drive via external enclosure to your usb port.
    Launch Disk Utility, erase/format your new drive with MAC OS Extended Journaled.
    Open Carbon Copy ( free download if you don't have it) and start to clone your drive, a pop up will come up saying you haven't created a recovery partition, follow the instructions in Carbon Copy then proceed to clone your drive after.
    Once that's done, open the back of your MB, take out the old drive, install your new ssd, then turn it on.  You're back in business.
    As for your old drive, put it in the external enclosure and use it as a back up drive.

  • Moving data from a dead G5 with serial ATA drives to a Mac Pro

    I have a dead Power Mac dual 2.7 GHz G5. The red light on the edge of the mother board is on - and the machine does not start up. It has been dying slowly - the dual monitors turn off when I send an image to my printer.
    It is under Apple Care - and today I purchased a Mac Pro quad 3.0 to replace it.
    But - I need some files from the 2 drives in the dead dual 2.7 G5. They are 250GB Serial ATA; 7200 rpm drives.
    From what I read here I cannot simply put the drives into the new Mac Pro.
    So - I think that I need a firewire enclosure for the 250GB Serial ATA; 7200 rpm drives that will let me get out the data.
    What is a good enclosure to do this - or is there another way? I can't send in the G5 for repair until I rescue the data from the drives and erase them.
    Dual 2.7 G5, 2 intel iMacs, 1 MacBook, 1 Powerbook, 18 G4 Macs, 3 iPods   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   I teach Digital Photography clases - on Macs

    You can install them - you just won't be able to boot
    from them.
    Don't move programs over - you should re-install them
    instead.
    That would be great. I don't need to boot from them - I just need to rescue some files.
    Can I erase them from the Mac pro before I send the G5 off for service?

  • Can i Repace My Main hard Drive with Western Dig 750GB Serial ATA/300 Hard

    i have a Dual 2 GHz Power PC G5. it has the origional 160 or 180 in there.

    just want to make sure i put the best drive as my main hard drive.
    this drive is on sale.
    thanks for your help

    If you want to use the ATA 300 drive at full speed you'll need to buy an ATA 300 Card, otherwise it
    will only run at 150Mbps. It will still work but the throughput will be half since the Original G5 ata
    controllers are serial ata 1 intead of the lastest version 2.

    New non-retina 15" MBP, I just replaced the 500 gb HD with a Samsung 830 256 gb SSD from Amazon, $255 for the kit (includes a USB cable).  Wow.  What a difference.  Yes, there was a learning curve for some of it, but was so worth it.  Let me know if I can help.  I'm using the 500 gb in 2 partitions - one for a clone of the SSD, and one for Time Machine.
