CS6 caching hangs the system every time I preview

I have recently put together a system specifically made for AE but have found that the way it caches has seriously slowed down my entire workflow.
Every time I hit RAM preview, no matter how small the project, AE hangs as it "initialized background processes" and then stops at frame 2 while the media cache HDD churns and churns, sometimes for 30 seconds. Eventually rendering starts and it is blazing fast, but it makes previewing quite a hassle to use.
This behavior is directly linked to multiprocessing, and if I switch it off there is no wait before rendering begins, however this runs counterintuitive to my whole set up and slows down my work considerably.
It seems that the way AE CS6 does its caching is with small 128KB files that completely throttle the mechanical hard drives and really make this feature unusable.
Short of cancelling multiprocessing, does anyone have any suggestions?
My search on the internet has yielded similar complaints:

I am on a:
Windows 7 x64
i7 3930K
32GB of RAM
Multiprocessing ON - 8 GB reserved for other applications - RAM allocation per CPU is 3GB - using 6 cores
Disk Cache enabled - maximum disk cache set at 50GB
After Effects CS6 on an SSD SATA III
my media on a Caviar Black SATA II
disk cache set to another Caviar Black SATA II.

Your cache should be on your SSD.

Fire Fox asks permission to update the system every time it is started.

After reinstalling Fire Fox it started asking permission to update my system. If I give permission then it starts normally. If I decline it does not start as I would expect it to do.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

No Final Cut Studio System ID file: Must re-enter the SN every time.

I was having trouble with needing to re-enter the FCS 3 SN every time I open an app. I am going mad. Another thread said to delete the Final Cut Studio System ID file then restart the program. Well now I have no Final Cut Studio System ID file and I STILL need to enter the SN every **** time I launch a program.
This was an upgrade from the FCS academic version.
Any help?

OK, let's give this a try.
First, let's create the systemid file again by launching Final Cut Pro and and re-register. This should create the files in the /tmp/ directory.
Then run this command in the Terminal.
launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.aelwriter.plist
launchctl start com.apple.aelwriter
Finally, run this command in the Terminal. It will ask you to enter your admin passward.
sudo /usr/sbin/AELWriter -installer
The files should have moved from /tmp/ to /Library/Application Support/ProApps/. If not then, something might be preventing from moving those files... perhaps a permission problem?

Iphone 4s(ios 7) hangs after i reject calls by pressing the on/off button while it is in the lock screen.I restart the phone every time when i reject calls..what can i do ?

I've same problem in iPhone 5c. I was using iPhone 4, problem appears after updating to ios7. I changed my phone to iPhone 5c, looks like it's a bug in ios7. But I think you might not turn on or off your internet connection frequently to reduce this problem. My friend has a same iPhone she never gets such problem like this cause she uses iPhone 5c with Tata Docomo (India) 2g with no internet connection. May be this would be the best solve that you should not turn on or of your internet connection so frequently...
Do any one have any better idea?

Logic hanging 10 seconds every time I save

Logic is hanging 10 seconds every time I save. There is a 5 second pause from when I hit cmd S to when the beach ball appears, after which point it is another 5 seconds before the save is complete. It's strange because I recently added a Glyph 1TB HD, which I thought would make my project blazing fast. I am using the FW400 through port on my Presonus Firestudio Tube. Could that be the problem? I tried the FW800 port on the Mac and that cause my audio interface to crash when Logic started up. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your reply. I switched the external drive connection to the FW400 port on the back of the Mac, instead of daisy chaining it through my audio interface. It seems to be working OK for now. We'll see. I also had my buffer at 32. Oops. That, of course, should make a huge difference, as I am just editing at this point. Over the past week I've had many times when I think I've figured it out, only to have the problem come back again. I'll keep your suggestion in mind, as I, too, have not had issues like this with my internal drives.

What is this Configuration Error: 1 = I must reinstall the AI every time again and again and loose so much time! How can I solve this error?

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. The simply answer probably is that you are running your system with insufficient user privileges and system restore or some security tools are blocking stuff/ erasing your install.

Hard drive works, but when plugged in hangs the system

First of all, since this is not a Linux-specific problem I'm not sure this is the right place for this post.
Anyway, for the past few years I've been using a 250GB IDE hard drive mostly to store backups on. For quite a while it worked fine, but when plugged in again after being removed so I could clean out the dust in my PC it didn't work quite right anymore. It caused the system to hang and gave error messages remniscent of those detailed on this page. After some fiddling it worked OK for a while, and then one day it randomly did this again. I took the ribbon cable out, then the hard drive, and realized one of the pins was pushed in (at the time I thought it was broken). After some reading I decided to sacrifice a ribbon cable. What I did was yank a pin off of an old DVD drive that doesn't work and shoved it in the cable where the short pin was. I made sure it was seated well, plugged in in, and hoped for the best. To my delight it worked without a hitch for maybe a year or more.
And then a little more than a month ago we had lightning strike a power line outside of our house and it fried my motherboard. I now have a replacement board, but after all of the taking apart and moving around and stuff, the hard drive is back to its old antics. The pin-in-the-cable trick wasn't working anymore. After I realized that the pin wasn't broken half-way but rather pushed in, I grabbed some needlenose pliers and pulled it out. It now will plug into any ribbon cable just fine and the computer recognizes it, but it's slow at POST and hangs the system when booting the OS, whether it be Linux or Windows. Knoppix CDs boot just fine, although slower. S.M.A.R.T. sees no problems.
Basically I'm wondering 2 things. First of all, is there anything I can do to get around the hangs? And second, I'm considering buying an external hard drive enclosure for regular 3.5 inch hard drives and using it as an external USB drive. Since the drive does still work and I can add/remove stuff while booted in Knoppix, and the main issue seems to be my system hanging, I figure, maybe, I can just plug in the drive when I need it after the computer is already booted up and it will work fine. Does this sound like a reasonable expectation?

What you hear may sound like it's the hard drive, but it's really an electronic type of noise. Same with my PB. Try what BGreg said, and wait for the drive to spin down - you'll still hear the noise.
There was a thread about this issue several months ago, and IIRC the conclusion was that it's a normal noise, and that you should just ignore it if possible.
If you must make it quieter, set processor performance to the lowest setting in Energy Saver preferences. But it's not going away completely.

Is there a way to have a book open at the start every time?

I'd like my eBook to open at the beginning every time it's launched fresh—is that possible or is it always going to open up at the last visited location? Is there a preference in iBooks author or something? Or in iBooks itself on the iPad? I don't see it. The "Videos" on iPads have a preference to start at the beginning or start where you left off. Just wondering if the books have something similar.

What you're talking about is the default navigation that is part of iBooks, so no, it doesn't appear you can force a restart from open, sorry.
Your reader would need to navigate there each time they leave the book.
As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it. It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open.

My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it. It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open. I have read that it may have to do with my fan or HD. I am under apple care for a good amount of time but am wondering if this is a mjor issue. I would not be able to get to an apple care center in the near future due to being at school. Should I be worried or will it last by the time I am home in 2 months.

Sounds like the disk in your MBP is accessing data on wake up
If you are still concerned you can take it into the Apple Store where they can hear it to be sure

Oops - for some reason, this problem now seems to have gone away. May have had something to do with Flash. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
