Bulk Data Storage for Travelling & Charging

Good day readers
I shall be travelling later this year and don't want to take lots of SDHC cards. Does anyone have any advice on what to take that stores lotss of Video files and Stills please. I want to keep bulk and weight down.
I have looked at the Vosonic range but these seem expensive
I have considered a small Netbook - a lot less than a Vosonic unit - 160gig to 250gig will be sufficient
I want to be able to view the video files and stills
I also want to be able to charge the units, there will be no mains electricicity where I am going, so solar charging ideas needed to the Camcorder batteries and the data storage device
All Ideas welcome, what solutions have people used
Thanks....

Thanks, but how do I upload the SDHC data to the Hard Drives. I want to upload the SDHC cards and store the data and re-use the SDHC card.
Sorry if I wasn't clear
John
John, many netbooks have a slot for installing your SDHC card and can read it. Then use Harm's suggested USB port hard drive to off load the data. Possibly even better use an external SSD drive as they take appreciably less power than a hard drive.

SR830 data storage for rs232

Hi,
I found a LabVIEW code here which can storage data from input signal (e.g.A/I)in SR830 and transfer it by the GPIB.
I used function generator to generate a sine wave with frequency:30Hz& Vp-p:100mVolt , conencting to SR830.
Clearly ,I got a correct result when i used the code by GPIB communication interface(left graph).
Than,I tried to change the communication interface RS232 to accept the same signal,but it has mistakes(right graph).
Here is original code "data storage for GPIB"
Here is rewrite code for RS232 by myself,but what's wrong i did?
Attachments:
SR830 DATA STORAGE EXAMPLE.VI ‏54 KB
scan test1.vi ‏43 KB

The SR830 expects three integer arguments (separated by commas) for the TRCA? query:
* i = 1 or 2 specifies which buffer to download from
* j >= 0 specifies the starting point
* k>=1 specifies how many points to download
If you know k, you can calculate the exact number of bytes in the response. For your code, which downloads 4000 points at a time, that will be something like 60 kB (if memory serves, the response in ASCII transfer mode is 15 bytes/value). Make sure that you're not hitting any timeout or serial buffer size limits with a transfer of that size.
Edit: You have your bitrate set to 9600 baud (1200 bytes/second) and a 10 second timeout. That will read 12 kB before timing out, or 1/5th of your transfer. The 830 supports baud rates up to 19,200, which will help, but you'll also need either a longer timeout or to transfer your data in smaller chunks.

Can we use SQL Server as a primary data storage for SharePoint 2013?

Is it possible to use external SQL Server as a primary data storage for SharePoint 2013?
Having this implemented we can generate reports, query data and it would become very very powerful to use.
Or
Is there a way to keep on using existing content databases and using external SQL Server as a secondary data storage at the same time. So I want it to be like redundant data in SQL Server.
Thanks

Hi，
Not sure if I understand your question correctly, SharePoint has its own content database storing SharePoint list data, we can use SSRS/SSAS integated with SharePoint mode to use sharepoint list as datasource to generate reports.

Is a Macbook air more durable than a Pro (with flash storage) for travelling?for

Is a Macbook Air more durable than a Macbook Pro (with flash storage) for extensive travelling?

Since neither Air nor Pro shoud be abused or used as a hockey puck,......the question is ALMOST moot.
However the AIr is to be certain more durable than the Pro is due to:
1. fewer parts (much)
2. lower mass inertia at impact
3. less chassis flex due to depth and form.
4. LCD on Air is less fragile than the retina display on the Pro is
5. Air is much easier to repair in case of a spill (however this is almost another moot point)
For much traveling and "abuse", the Air is the winner to be certain, however its still moot if you have a good padded case and prevent other ignorant people in your travels from manhandling your Air or Pro
BOTH current Air and Pro use SSD flash storage.
BOTH only have 1 moving part, the fan.

Data storage for Master data.

Hi
Would like to know what is the limit in terms of number of records a master data table can hold or should hold.
If there is a possibility that master data vol will increase very significantly then is it advisable to create an ODS to store the master data vol .....
Please advise
Kind Regards,
Kate

Dear Kate,
There is not really any limit for this. Since this is dependent on the database storage space. and especially for master data, it wont exceed as you think.
Thanks,

External data storage for iPad

I am a student and just purcased an iPad (due to arrive any day now eek!) to be able to order my textbooks in e-book format.
The issue I am running into is non wifi data back up. I don't want to keep the books on the actual iPad as the files are huge, but to keep them on iCloud or something similar on line limits my access when my WiFi at work goes down. I did not have the money for a larger memory and cannot afford the 3G due to being college poor. So, while the ability to store my textbooks on iCloud is a great start, what if I'm working and the wifi goes out? (It does often and I'm constantly breaking into our server room to reset it for patients who want to use their tablets or e-readers, but it doesn't always work and our IT people are not there overnight which is when I work). I was told the camera connector kit would work to store data on a flash drive or SD card, however, it won't. I was also told about iFlashdrive, but the price is way out of my league and it is merely a flash drive anyway. I can't justify that cost. Is there a cost effective way to store my textbook files for when I can't access the internet, at all? This just does not seem very user friendly to me at the moment.

Keep your eyes open for a device called the "ZoomIt" or "ZoomIt Reader". It looks and acts similar to the Apple Camera Connection Kit, except that it allows you to access much more of the content on the SD/SDHC cards. I bought one to use it for loading data files onto the micro-SDHC card for my GPSr and it works great using my iPhone 4. I have places pictures, videos and PDF files on my SDHC cards and accessed them from my iPhone, so it might be able to get you closer to what you want. The only problem I've seen lately is that these devices seem to be a premium to come by. I paid about $39 for mine when I bought it new on Amazon, but the last time I looked, every retailer with them in stock was asking closer to $100 for them.
If your app offers "open with" and "export" funcitonality, you can probably use this device to copy content onto or off from your iPad. I can't imagine trying to get by without mine now that I've had it so long...

Is it possible to increase data storage for 5s?

I have had a 5s for about 4 months, having updated from an iPhone 4 with 32 GB. Unfortuantely I didn't think about the capacity when I got my 5s, and I don't have enough room for the latest update, 7.01. I am sure most of the capacity is taken up with photos, most of which are duplicated, in Camera Roll & My Photo Stream. Is it possible to add more GBs to my phone? I really don't want to have to buy another phone after only 4 months
Thanks,
Pat

Thanks! I was afraid I couldn't add GBs but thought I'd ask. I'll try using iTunes on my computer & see if there's enough space. I also need to coordinate photo storage between my iPhone, Mac & iPad, I guess.

Power BI - Office 365 data storage for Excel (Power Pivot & Power Query) architecture

Hi, I trying to find a comprehensive view of the Power BI architecture, specifically where the data for Power Pivot & Power Query files are held. I've seen reference to the Vertipaq Engine and the data being stored in the Excel File, however this is
in reference to 2010.
Other references I've seen (SharePoint on premise with Power Pivot) have shown me that the data held in the Excel files on the SharePoint sites are actually held in SQL Server instances.
Could anyone provide clarity on the architecture for Power BI please...
Tim
Thank you for you time folks!

Hi Tim,
let my try to explain this:
When you load data into Power Pivot it is actually loaded into Vertipaq (in-memory column-store) and it resides there until you close Excel. Technically speaking Power Pivot is a single-user SQL Server Analysis Services instance hosted within Excel. When you
close Excel a backup of the Power Pivot "database" is created and stored within the resulting .xlsx-file .
Any user that has access to the Excel file also has access to the Power Pivot model, so there is actually no security
This is very similar to any other excel file
Once the Excel is stored in SharePoint / SharePointOnline and is access the first time the backup that is stored within the Excel is restored into SQL Server Analysis Services instance running in SharePoint Integrate mode
all connections to the Excel-File are redirected to that SSAS instance. After some time of inactivity the model is unloaded from that SSAS instance again to free up the memory
the data itself so basically always resides inside Power Pivot or respectively the Excel file
Power Query only stores the actual query (= M-script) but no data

File path of open data storage

Hello all!
Now I'm using the blocks of open data storage, write data and close data storage for storing and extracting result data. For the file path issue, before I
set the data path by double clicking the "open data storage" block and inserting the file location in the indicated place, and that worked!
Now since I made a stand alone application of this program and shall use it in other computers, the file location I inserted in open data storage block isn't
valid any more in other PCs. So I modified my source code by connecting a "current vi path" to the open data storage block's file path node instead of
inserting it inside the block, and this doesn't work! During running there shows an error in the write data block saying that the storage refnum isn't valid!
I'm wondering why I couldn't specify the file path like this. Any way to allow me to specify the file path as the current vi path?
Thanks!
Chao
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You need to account for the path changes when built in to an application, have a look at this example.

Local data storage with XML vs SQLLite

Short version:
I have a mobile app that gathers and stores a large amount of data. The current XML solution (all in one file) is having performance issues as the volume of data increases beyond a certain point.
Can I be confident that using SQLLite and a local database will be a better option and improve performance?
Long version:
I have built a mobile app that is used by my client to collect data.
When we started the project the amount of data was relatively small. Given that, and given the past experiences of my team, we chose to use an XML file to store the collected data. When the app starts it loads the whole xml file into a set of data objects in memory for use by the app. The data is not loaded again for as long as the app stays running. We then run a routine whenever the app wants to save to the HD that converts all of the data back into XML.
The data is split into 'projects' and each project naturally has its own xml node. To improve performance when saving, each instance of the Project class stores its loaded node string. Then, when the save routine is called, if the classes data has not been changed it simply returns the original string instead of going through the whole process of re-compiling it.
Of course this does not change the fact that whenever a save is performed, the whole xml structure must be saved back to the file on the HD.
The app has now been used in anger for quite some time and we are starting to get reports of performance issues. The main culprit is during loading which only happens once but can apparently now take an exeptionally long time and causes problems during startup to the point where users think it has crashed.
I am now tasked with trying to improve the data storage for the app. My original reaction was to try breaking down the xml into multiple files which can then we loaded and saved when needed instead of handling everything all at once. I am worried though about the implications of the app trying to handle in excess of 2000 xml files in some cases. It may not be an issue at all but it just stands out to me as something to be concerned about.
So the best other option that I am aware of is to use SQLLite to save all the data into a local database. I have very little personal experience with sql and databases though so while a lot of the documentation and blog posts I see seem to suggest that this is the way to go for mobile apps with a large amount of data, I cannot be quite certain. The big issue is that I cannot afford to sell the idea of such a radical change (and more importantly the time it would take to implement it) to my client without being quite sure that this will be a valid solution to the problem.
So my question to you, Flex community, is would you continue to use XML or is SQLLite the better way to go for large amounts of data? Do you think that I would see an improvement by using SQLLite? Additionally, do you have any tips or experience with a similar situation that might be helpful to me?
Thank you
Jamie

I've been very happy using the internal SQLite database with Flex. You should definitely get much better performance from it. Just being able to load your data asynchronously if nothing else you should get a great benefit. The sheer amount of data in your XML file that is being passed around is probably quite a hit (especially on mobile). Breaking up the XML shouldn't be too crazy to do (as you're already doing it somewhat, I'd imagine, when you're accessing the information from within your app). Give switching to SQLite a try, but I'd say that's a great place to start.

Allocation of storage for OSx Lion

How do I manage allocation of storage? OSx Lion comes with "free" 5GB iCloud storage but all is allocated to mail. Want to change so I can use some for backups.
Tried using system preferences, iCloud, manage but don't see anywhere to change the allocation.
Any suggestions for backup using space on hard drive so I can retrieve later for restore.

iCloud is not a general cloud storage solution. Rather it provides the cloud mechanism by which Apple syncs your mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks with your computers and iDevices. If you need general data storage for backup or other storage needs, then use a third-party service like SugarSync or ADrive.
If you need system backup then buy an external hard drive for backup. See:
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components: 1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences; and, 2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
Synk Pro
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
Cool Drives
OWC
WiebeTech
Firewire Direct
California Drives
NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

Int'l Travel - Charger for Pearl Flip

Pre-buying (T-mobile) questions:
BB site says flip comes with no charger. Is this true/possible?
Otherwise, any concerns I should consider for international (Europe) travel with the Flip? Can I just buy a plug adapter and not worry about currency convertors?
Also, anything anyone could volunteers about unlocking the Flip and using a local SIM card for lower call/data rates, worthwhileness of getting T-Mobile Hot-Spot service, or general thoughts on least expensive options for calling within Europe and to the US.
thank you.

I took my T-mobile Blackberry Pearl Flip to New Zealand. Used the US AC charger with a NZ plug with no problem.
I also added the T-mobile int'l data plan for that month, $20. Data was seamless, exactly like being in the US. I don't get a lot of calls, I use the phone far more for data, so I didn't worry about anyone calling me and being charged the high per-minute charge--something like $2/minute as I recall.
I did work with T-mobile before I went to unlock my phone so that I could buy a SIM card when I got to NZ. You should be able to find a wireless vendor in the airport where you land; I've heard that from many other travers, and it was certainly true in NZ. I think I purchased mine through Vodaphone, which seems to be ubiquitous. It's best to purchase the card in the counrtry you're traveling to, because they seem to be specific to a country or a region. I ended up not using the card I bought, because I was traveling with another friend so we used her T-mobile Android for voice, with the card she bought, and my phone for data. So I have a card that will work in New Zealand sitting in my desk. It doesn't work in very many other countries so I'm out of luck unless I find a friend who's going there and has a SIM phone!
More and more places around the globe have wireless, so you might want to check the number of T-mobile hotspots where you're going to see if it's worth paying for them, or if you could use wireless where you're staying.
Here's what you need to know: you can't use your regular data plan on the phone if you have a different SIM card in it. And you can't get the low phone rates if you keep in your regular SIM card. So you have to switch cards out depending on what you want to do.
A note: one feature I think the Flip is missing is the ability to turn off individual services. I'd have liked to turn off the voice feature, keeping data. On other BBs I think you can, but not on the Flip.
I hope this helps.
