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.

What motherboard do you have? I guess from the info above it is a socket 2011.

Issue with importing MXF files - Canon

The issue is, when importing MXF files from a Canon camera, we experience "spanned" files. This has been occuring now for sometime. Why has Adobe not fixed this. Surely there is a large community using Canon MXF files? Can someone from Adobe or Canon reply to this message. If anyone else has a fix or a workaround other than mannually addressing this, please advise.

I'm afraid I don't understand the question.
7.2 now correctly parses the Canon XF .CIF sidecar files to determine whether the media is supposed to be spanned or not. This has been a feature request that has been finally addressed to work correctly.
(It also was there in 7.1 & previous, but had limitations: the performance wasn't as good, there had been issues in the past with audio pops at cut points, and it required that the Canon XF folder structure remain intact, ie if you copied the media to a flattened folder structure, it would fail to do the spanning correctly.)
If you are looking for a means to disable the automatic spanning, simply removing the .CIF files will achieve that. Although i'm not sure I understand why you're looking to do that. Most people *want* spanning to happen automatically, otherwise you're forced to manually sync spanned media segments by hand.

Airport Extreme Shared USB Hard Drive Performance Issues

I just picked up a new Air Extreme and attached a new Western Digital Passport via USB powered hub (have printer as well). All is working well, however, I am finding performance (especially copying files from my computer to the network HD) to be quite slow. For example, I was trying to copy a 3GB folder with about 1000 files and the copy dialog indicates that it will take about 30 hours. I was able to copy directly to the HD when plugged into computer's USB in a matter of minutes. When I try to download same folder from the net drive to my laptop, it takes about 1 hour. Note: I have Comcast Cable hi-speed so not sure how much is related to this knowing that they do have different download/upload speeds.
I would appreciate any feedback, tips and advice on optimizing performance of my USB drive when shared over the network. Thanks.

How do you have your hard drive formatted? If you are using a Western Digital Passport, you will want to create a separate Mac partition so that you can copy very large files (+4GB). By default, I believe it is FAT32. I had to do this (Mac partition) with my back up drive because I have VMWare Fusion images that easily exceed this.
The new network drive I attached is also a Western Digital, but I didn't reformat it (yet) as I knew I wasn't going to have large files, but I am wondering if maybe I should do this. Unfortunately, then my Windows machines would not be able to read it easily.

Hard drive failure - issues with iTunes data

My hard drive broke and Apple replaced it.
As a consequence I had issues with data in iTunes, iMovie and iPhoto.
iTunes in particular was a problem as the Mac seemed to think tracks were stored in the trash, so I had reloaded tracks to iTunes (which took ages) and then all seemed fine.
My hard drive was then full so I deleted my trash (97Gb which took over 30 hours) and the same issue happened again - about 40% of my iTunes library cannot find the files as it thinks they are stored in the trash.
Any ideas what might be happening?

Ouch...
But before going for an expensive data recovery service, you have some other options.
At first you have to get that harddrive connected to your iMac. There are several solutions to that. One is to buy a SATA USB Docking Bay (see picture). You can put the harddisk in it and connect it via USB to your iMac.
Next you'll need recovery software. Disk Utility will probably not help you, but it is worth the try (because it is free and comes with OSX).
A great piece of software to look at is DiskWarrior. It once helped me accessing a dying External Harddisk and got most of the data off it before it really died. There are more applications, just google 'Data Recovery OSX', and you will find a lot more.
Oh, and make sure to start a good back-up plan for the future. Time Machine is great, or Carbon Copy Cloner, and maybe invest in a decent NAS to copy your data on.
Good luck!

External Hard Drive Sync Issue with Deletion

So I recently set up my external hard drive to be my main music folder. The external HD runs continuously on my Mac Pro desktop. I've set it up so the external HD is mounted remotely on my laptop, so I can get all my itunes music without having to physically connect to the drive. I've set it up and everything loaded in, works fine. . . .
But then I tried to delete some files using itunes. It deleted them from my itunes library alright. But they did not delete from the external HD. Furthermore, it did not even prompt me to "keep files" or "delete from library".
I then ran an test. Could i change ID3 tags? Maybe I didn't have write permission or something. Nope, I was able to change ID3 tags just fine.
Does anybody know a way to make this work? Why it doesn't prompt me to "delete" my files?
Thanks.

is there perhaps a problem with permissions? does this problem happen whether you're using either computer or only with the laptop? maybe the laptop only has permission to delete songs from its local database and but not to delete the tracks from the shared master music folder.
i use a wireless external drive for my music too. though i've never had your problem, i have experienced something similar. if i delete a track via Finder then open iTunes, it still thinks the track is there. so if i then delete it in iTunes, it doesn't ask me if i want to keep the files or not, it only removes it from the iTunes library. in other words, i don't get prompted to keep or delete tracks if the track is already gone from the hard drive but still in the iTunes database. i haven't tried changing the tags in that scenario however.

Macbook won't recognize external Hard Drive and issues with Time Machine

Hello everyone,
I have just bought a new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion and I am currently having problems with Time Machine.
The issue begun in Snow Leopard: Time Machine was taking too long to backup, and would often not finish the backup because the external hard drive would be unwillingly ejected.
Now with Mountain Lion I have reformated the drive (Mac OS Journaled) and about a third of the way through had the same issue: the drive was ejected before the backup could be finished. I restarted the machine and it happened again. However, now the computer won't even recognize the external drive when I plug it in. I have also tried to power off/on the drive itself to no progress.
I have tested the USB port with another drive and the port is fine. I have also tested the usb cable and it is fine. And Disk Utility does not recognize the drive (even when I try the >diskutil list command in terminal).
Now, I can hear the drive humming normally when I turn it on, and it is not usb-powered (my electricity current does fluctuate).
Could the interrupted backup procedures have damaged the drive? And if so, wouldn't the computer recognize it anyway?
It is a 4 year old WD 1 TB that is used exclusively for TM and has never left the house.
Thank you for your time reading this and let me know if you need any more information that could help out.
Cheers!

From your description, I'd suspect a failing drive. Maybe time for a new external, especially as you've already re-formatted and it's still playing up.
I had a similar problem with one of my clone backups a few weeks ago - it failed, I erased it, re-cloned, worked a couple of times and then it failed again. Disk Utility didn't throw up any errors after re-formatting. I guess all disks die at some point.

External Hard Drive Suddenly Loaded With Corrupt Image Files (Mac User)

I'm using an iMac with CS6. I have an external Maxtor 1TB drive that is 13 months old. I have had no issues at all with it until today, when I attempted to access a PSD file from the drive and received an error message telling me that the document was not a valid photoshop file. I looked at the directory at this point and noticed that the preview icons for many of the photoshop and jpg files on the drive were disabled. In each of these cases, the files will not open.
I have:
1. Repaired permissions and volumes on the external drive.
2. Changed the file extension and attempted to open.
3. Opened the file in a hex editor and looked for extra lines of code, or text, or whatever.
4. Copied the file to a different drive.
5. Attempted to open in a different program (Preview, Illustrator)
In no cases will the files open, and I'm stumped. The drive itself seems to be working fine. Not every file is affected, and the files that are affected are both in a variety of locations on the drive and were created over a period of years. Any ideas about how to resolve this issue will be sincerely appreciated.

If you open the folder in Bridge and the thumbnails just show icons try purging the cache. Go to Tools/cache/purge cache for xxxx folder. Let thumbs rebuild and if you still have just icons for those problem files I would say the drive is not working fine.
The problem may be intermittent, but I would have very little faith in it. See if you can find other programs to test the drive for bad segements and read/write operations.
If you put files on this drive also put the same file on another drive at the same time until you get this figured out. Drive failure is not the uncommon.

HELP !! My external hard drive is corrupted with all my files !!!!!

So my Seagate Hard drive has been working fine for 1 year, and now when i plugged it in it does not show up on the desktop !
I go into Disk Utility, on the sidebar, instead of the name I set, my disk is now called "disk2s1". I tried to verify it, and it says:

So i tried to repair it

Please please help me ! I dont want to lose all my movies that I havent even watched. I can buy a brandnew hard drive to copy all my files in but the folder dont even show up on the desktop ! I tried to "mount" it but it doesnt work neither.

Some say "Disk Warrior" can recover corrupted file systems. The cost ($70, I think) and extreme measures it uses makes it a "last ditch" tool instead of a "regular miantenance" tool.

MacBook Pro Hard Drive Replacement issues with OSX

Ok so i just replaced a hard drive in a macbook or 17" 2009 and it's fairly simple. I replaced it with a 500g seagate hybrid drive.
After fter doing that I put the old drive in an enclosure so the client could have all of their pictures, etc. I tried to install yosemite onto the new hard drive from the recovery option on the boot loader. It took four hours, but finnaly made it, and when it did it just sat at a grey screen forever. the mouse worked on this grey screen which was wierd, and it hovered there forever. I tried the same process again, this time leaving the grey screen overnight. Nothing. Still.
PLease help.

Is the 640GB WD approved as an internal drive for your MBP? If it is, then the clean, formatted drive with no OSX should be installed in the MBP. Then start up (holding the "Option" key) from the OSX installation disc and install OSX. After a successful installation, the MBP will restart. Then run Software Update to get the latest version of OSX.

Performance issue with big CSV files as data source

Hi,
We are creating crystal reports for a large banking corporation with CSV files as data source. For some reports, we need join 2 csv files. The problem we met now is that when the 2 csv files are very large (both >200M), the performance is very bad and it takes an hour or so to refresh the data in Crystal Reports designer. The same case for either CR 11.5 or CR 2008.
And my question is, is there any way to improve performance in such situations? For example, can we create index on the csv files? If you have ever created reports connecting to CSV, your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray

Certainly a reasonable concern...
The question at this point is, How are the reports going to be used and deployed once they are in production?
I'd look at it from that direction.
For example... They may be able to dump the data directly to another database on a separate server that would insulate the main enterprise server. This would allow the main server to run the necessary queries during off peak hours and would isolate any reporting activity to a "reporting database".
This would also keep the data secure and encrypted (it would continue to enjoy the security provided by an RDBMS). Text & csv files can be copied, emailed, altered & deleted by anyone who sees them. Placing them in encrypted .zip folders prevents them from being read by external applications.
<Hope you liked the sales pitch I wrote for you to give to the client... =^)
If all else fails and you're stuck using the csv files, at least see if they can get it all on one file. Joining the 2 files is killing you performance wise... More so than using 1 massive file.

My MacBook died and my hard drive was removed, are my existing files only compatible with Apple products?

My MacBook died and my hard drive was removed, are my existing files only compatible with Apple products? Are the files encrypted with Apple OS or am I able to import my files to Microsoft programs?

The drive as a whole can’t be read on a PC without installing software such as MacDrive on it.
The answer varies for individual document files; some file formats can be read by Windows software, while others can't.

Performance Issues with large XML (1-1.5MB) files

Hi,
I'm using an XML Schema based Object relational storage for my XML documents which are typically 1-1.5 MB in size and having serious performance issues with XPath Query.
When I do XPath query against an element of SQLType varchar2, I get a good performance. But when I do a similar XPath query against an element of SQLType Collection (Varray of varchar2), I get a very ordinary performance.
I have also created indexes on extract() and analyzed my XMLType table and indexes, but I have no performance gain. Also, I have tried all sorts of storage options available for Collections ie. Varray's, Nested Tables, IOT's, LOB's, Inline, etc... and all these gave me same bad performance.
I even tried creating XMLType views based on XPath queries but the performance didn't improve much.
I guess I'm running out of options and patience as well.;)
I would appreciate any ideas/suggestions, please help.....
Thanks;

Performance issues with Planning data load & Agg in 11.1.2.3.500

We recently upgraded from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.3. Post upgrade we face performance issues with one of our Planning job (eg: Job E). It takes 3x the time to complete in our new environment (11.1.2.3) when compared to the old one (11.1.1.3). This job loads then actual data and does the aggregation. The pattern which we noticed is , if we run a restructure on the application and execute this job immediately it gets completed as the same time as 11.1.1.3. However, in current production (11.1.1.3) the job runs in the following sequence Job A->Job B-> Job C->Job D->Job E and it completes on time, but if we do the same test in 11.1.2.3 in the above sequence it take 3x the time . We dont have a window to restructure the application to before running Job E every time in Prod. Specs of the new Env is much higher than the old one.
We have Essbase clustering (MS active/passive) in the new environment and the files are stored in the SAN drive. Could this be because of this? has any one faced performance issues in the clustered environment?

Do you have exactly same Essbase config settings and calculations performing AGG ? . Remember something very small like UPDATECALC ON/OFF can make a BIG difference in timing..
