5400 / 7200 RPM. How To Check That?

hi guys.
the box with a brand new external usb drive i am planning to purchase from my local computer store doesn't say whether it's as fast as 5400 or 7200 rpm.
how do i normally check that parameter through my computer? i tried checking that on my current usb drive with system profiler, but can't see such a section anywhere!

thanks for the reply.
hmm, well i still need to somehow make sure the rotation speed of the usb hard drive i am going to purchase is 7200 rpm
I don't think it really matters from a practical point of view. The maximum sustained transfer speeds you can get out of Hi-Speed USB (USB2) is about 30-35 MB/sec. This is well under the speeds that most current 5400 RPM notebook drives are capable of. For example, a Hitachi Travelstar 5K320 drive is capable of up to 729 Mbit/sec, which is higher than 90 MB/sec.

  • How to check  that same Oracle software versions(including patch versions)

    How to check that same Oracle software versions(including patch versions) is installed on two hosts(machines) ?
    We are using following process:
    On Host A :
    1) Get the Oracle version using SQLPlus -v
    From this output, extract the version number.
    2)Find the patches installed using opatch lsinventory -detail
    From the output , Extract the Patch numbers and Bugs fixed.
    3) Store the version , patch and bugs information in a common file.
    On Host B :
    Repeat the steps 1 and 2 and compare with the values from Host A.
    Please let us know if there is any other method to do this.
    Thanks.

    This is wrong: for Oracle Database version 10.2.0.4 *4* identifies the patch set and does not give information about interim patchs.
    It is correct to use opatch lsinventory to get interim patchs.

  • How to check that concrete object is on the scene?

    Hi
    I wonder how can i check that concrete object is on the scene for example:
    var sprite1:Sprite = new SPrite();
    stage.addChild(sprite1);
    if(?????)
        //do something with sprite1
    else
         //add sprite1 to display list and do something with it
    Is there any property or method to check this?

    If you mean that the object exists, you can try...
    if(sprite1)
        trace("it exists");
    else
         trace("it's not here");
    otherwise, if you mean you want to know if it's on the display list, you need to go thru the display list to see if it's in there...
    var child:DisplayObject;
    var spriteFound:Boolean = false;
    for (var i:uint=0; i < stage.numChildren; i++)
    child = stage.getChildAt(i);
    if(child == sprite1){
       spriteFound = true;
    if(spriteFound){
    trace("it's on display list");
    } else {
    trace("it's not here");

    I like to use netbeans which one should i need to download?You'd think you would go to the Netbeans website and find out, but I'm silly like that. Either a recent JDK 6 or the latest JDK 7 will do just fine. I would install Java anywhere except in program files. I install all my Java stuff in a directory called "java" myself, so I have C:\java\jdk6, c:\java\eclipse37, c:\java\tomcat7, etc. I never have to search for my stuff that way.
    (of course being a proper computer savvy user I partioned my harddrive to reserve the C drive specifically for the OS only, so it is in fact e:\java).

  • Time Machine: How to check that it's working?

    hey guys, i just ran Time Machine for the first time and it looks like everything worked ok. it completed the backup and will run another backup in 20 minutes. i was just wondering how i can check that my files are actually being backed up in case i had to restore the files. how would i go about restoring the files by the way? i can't see an option to do this.         
    thanks a lot

    ok i had a look at that, but couldn't find an answer to this:
    i just noticed that my time machine drive is 4gb smaller than my mac internal HDD. is there any reason for this?
    Yes, as softwater and others have said, Time Machine does skip some things, such as system work files, most caches and logs, etc.  The size of all that varies widely from time to time, but is usually several GBs.
    See the tan box in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #11 for the gory details.
    But the size of the data on your TM drive will grow as more backups are performed, copying only the items that are new or changed, eventually filling all the available space.  Then it will begin deleting the oldest backup(s) when it needs room for new ones.
    but doesn't Time Machine create a bootable copy of the hard drive anyway?
    No, TM backups aren't directly bootable.  If your internal HD dies, you can restore your backups to a replaced internal HD, or another external HD.  The restored system is bootable.
    if the hard drive died, wouldn't Time Machine be able to restore everything?
    Yes.  The things it doesn't back up are re-created as needed anyway.  See FAQ #14 for details on doing a full restore.

  • How to check that a pdf is in ISO 32000-1:2008(PDF 1.7) standard?

    Hi
    How one can know that a pdf file is in  ISO 32000-1:2008(PDF 1.7) standard format?
    Breif Introdution abt ISO 32000-1:2008(PDF 1.7)
    ISO is named as "International Organization Standardization" who look after the standardization of diffrent format gobally. Now that had mention ISO 32000-1:2008 standard for PDF. So how we ensure that a pdf is of this standard.
    Do acrobat had any option to look the ISO standard of a pdf file or else way to view it.
    Thanks
    Andy

    ISO 32000-1 is nothing to do with PDF/A - it is the core standard for the PDF/1.7 document format. PDF/A is covered by ISO 19005-1.
    Preflight can run a number of checks but there is no easy way to verify compliance with PDF/1.7 as a whole. You can try the "Report PDF Syntax Issues" profile in Preflight but that does not guarantee to detect non-compliance, only the most common things which will break the document.
    Creating your PDF files using a standards-compliant application such as Adobe Acrobat is by far the best option - I  never recommend refrying a PDF unless there is a specific necessity to do so and the file is only destined for hardcopy print, as it will break pretty much everything (accessibility tags, scripts, forms, links, media, layers, color spaces, certificates, etc.).
    Because it's not easy to verify, and Acrobat always produces standards-compliant files, many commercial printers and publishers insist on "Adobe PDFs" rather than generic ones, and will reject files that have been created with third-party software.

  • How to check that iPhone 4 is factory unlock or not

    how to check an iPhone is factory unlock or not

    There is no way to check. This question gets asked all the time, and the simple fact is if you purchased your phone from an official source that sells officially unlocked iPhones, your phone is officially unlocked. If you didn't purchase from an official source, there is a good chance it was hacked.

  • How to check that Delta is not captured?

    Dear Experts,
    I am using 2LIS_02_ITM datasource.
    PO is created using a program.
    The next step in the program, it can change a field in the PO depending on logic, using a abap command 'update'.
    Sometimes, this change is not captured in the delta queue, it seems.
    why i say this is the PO shows the field value but BI delta load does not.
    It is using Queued Delta now.
    Initially, the program uses a command 'update' to update the field in PO.
    Now, we decided to use ME22N program to ensure delta will be created.
    The problem is happening to some records and not all delta records.
    Its very difficult to tell what is the cause.
    What is the standard method to check that Application table data is not captured in Delta Queue by the extractor?
    Or
    If PO can show the field value, is there a possibility that Delta may not capture this field change?
    regards
    Pascal

    Well just throwing few possibilities:
    1 - Basically PO creation, change in values/quantities etc are Business transactions and they generate evens known as BTEs.
    Now we have to explicitly inform SAP ECC that which applications can use BTEs and we do this by tcode BF11.
    Check if the software component creating and changing POs is properly linked to BTEs and if BW is set as active in BF11 tcode.
    2 - If point 1 is checked and nothing is found to be incorrect, please check if Industry sector is correctly chosen (SBIW). Industry sector generates a set of Transaction keys (BWVORG) without which the values are not updated in BW.
    Also rightly pointed by Tbollo, you need to ensure that there's a pattern in the missing docs to identify the rootcause.

  • External drive 'speeds'???  5400 - 7200 rpm?

    I'm on location.  I have to buy a couple of external drives quick.  I'm used to buying my drives straight from a distributor, shipped by mail - he just ships the 7200 rpms.  I go into Best Buy, Office Depot, Target ... and non of the external drives have the drive speed listed on the boxes anymore, nor on the net either, it appears.
    Is this because all the new drives are automatically 7200 rpm?
    Is there a way I can find out what the speed of this drive I bought is actually running at 7200 rpm before I start loading it with data?: a Seagate Backup Plus 2T.
    Any help would be most appreciated,
    Thank you...
    Ben

    Hi Bengt,
    I shoot HD all the time.  Often XDCam, which has no problem with the USB2 -- I've made a dozen films in this format over the last year or so, and have had no issues.  I haven't had any trouble with full HD ProRes either.  At least up to HQ 422.  444 would be another issue entirely I agree.  Sometimes I just have to bite the bullet ... on location, everything happening, no waiting for the camera guy, etc. etc. and go for whatever I can get.  The new drive, whatever its rpm, seems to be handling the XDCam just fine.
    Thank you, and all the best,
    B

  • How to check that my table is parent table or child table before trucating

    Hi:
    say i wanted to trucate a table .the table might be a parent table or might be a child table.if its a child table then there wouldnt be any problems in truncating.
    if its a parent table the i believe i would have to diable all the foreign key constraints from the child table referring to the parent table ..my question is
    1. i have a table say ABC. before truncating how do i find out if table ABC is a parent table or not?
    2.lets assume i tried to truncate the table ABC and i got the error saying that disable the foreign keys on the child table referring to the parent table ABC.
    in my schema there are say 50 tables.out of which there might be 10 odd child tables referring to my parent table ABC.
    so my question here would be how do i specifically find out these 10child tables referring to the Parent table ABC so that i can disable the foreign keys on the child tables.
    Thanks 4 ur time in reading this and hopefully i think u wld give me a solution!!

    Hi,
    Try this SQL below:
    select r.owner, r.table_name

    where r.r_owner = o.owner and r.r_constraint_name = o.constraint_name
    and o.constraint_type in ('P','U') and r.constraint_type = 'R'
    and o.table_name = 'ABC';Cheers

  • How to check that data was propagated to all nodes in cluster?

    Hi.
    We are using Weblogic 10.3.5 and Coherence 3.6. Both applications work in cluster mode and we are using replicated mode as a Coherence topology. Also the NameCache use to store and retreive data from Coherence cluster. Now I have a task to calculate a time that take data propagation to all nodes. So, from my sight of view coherence should raise some kind of event when each node in cluster will fulfield with the same data. Or may be there is a standard coherence(weblogic?) listener that provide such an information.
    I will be appreciate for help how to solve my task.

    Jonathan.Knight wrote:
    Hi,
    If you are using a replicated cache then the time taken to replicate the data is the time taken to do a put. Coherence will not return from a put method call on a NamedCache until the data has reached all the nodes. That is why replicated caches are a bad idea for clusters with a lot of nodes where there are frequent updates as they are slow.
    JKHi JK,
    actually, AFAIK, it is not 100% correct.
    From what I remember from an earlier discussion or email, replication in a replicated cache is synchronous to one other member (the lease owner), and asynchronous thereafter. The synchronous part of the protocol involves the mutating member and the entry lease owner (which may be the same). As I understand the lease owner orders the operations and resolves races between multiple mutators, and drives the asynchronous part of the replication to all other members.
    In short, total network cost is linear with nodes, but latency wise you do not need to wait until all updates actually took place on all other nodes (that would be a really sad scenario when some nodes are communicating slowly).
    Best regards,
    Robert
