Here's my HDD plan, anyone think this is foolish

1 External 1TB HD for system backup
1 External 2TB HD for media archive
1 internal 1TB HD for OS
3 internal 1TB RAID 0(3TB total) for scratch, but I want to make 2 1.5TB partitions on RAID. the first(ie the fastest part of the disk)for scratch, the second another copy of media archive. This way I always have 2 copies of all my media.

I really think that should be the first topic to discuss, getting new toys past the spouse, then the other stuff is easy
I think i should have specified that its the configuration of them that I need verified specifically Raid/partition idea. the 2TB is an 2@1TB RAID 0 external and I agree with you. Software RAID would be used and it would really be DV and AVCHD(transcoded to Prores) I'd be working with.
Not sure how many streams you will be working with, but I have done multiclip ProRes on an internal RAID 0. At some point it is a little slow(er), not real slow. For one or two tracks, or maybe more, probably fine. I will often movee my projects to my desktop with the hardware RAID setup and just work from there (yeah, take a hit from not having other drives feeding things in) but it sort of depends on what is going on. Anyway it works.
If you are feeding from the external and scratching to internal (especially if hooked up via eSATA) you should be fine.

  • Anyone think this iPhone case will make a good iPod Touch case?

    http://www.contourcase.com/isee/iseeiphone/
    I know the back end of the Touch is going to hang a bit, but do you think this will do a decent job of covering my iPod Touch/will fit on correctly?
    Thanks for any answer.

    That case (posted above) will probably leave a massive gap in the casing, as the iPod touch is not as 'bulky' as the iPhone. You may damage your unit more by carrying it in that. If you want a case, i'd go for something like this:

    Still for the iPhone, but more likely to hold the touch in place with it's elasticated sides

  • Does anyone think this forum is an improvement?

    The previous webforum/NNTP interface had roughly 90 percent of the questions coming from the webforum, and 90 percent of the mostly correct replies coming from the NNTP newgroup users.
    The newsgroup users are for the most part NOT going to use this web forum.
    so for the most part- there are 50 or 100 people who tried to offer help daily, who are not "in here" and won't participate because this web forum interface is just slow and clunky and flashy. We just want TEXT. NNTP. WORDS.
    I've been ACE and TMM longer than i can remember. Not renewing.

    Completely wrong. Although NNTP access has been removed, it's perfectly possible to do everything through email or an RSS feed. I'm monitoring several forums through email, which displays no icons, avatars, or images.
    One does not require an icon, avatar, or image to receive an indication that a topic has been resolved.  The same information could be passed through text.  Is it not?  :smile
    In any case this diverges from the question of measuring this forum's success.
    The question of whether an issue has been "resolved" is also moot. An inexperienced person is quite likely to mark a question as "answered", even if the answer is wrong, incomplete, or no longer represents best practice.
    The last time I posted in this regard it was in response to how one might measure success in this forum.  Within this context I would much prefer a measure of consumer satisfaction over the "crude" measure of noise that you have suggested.
    Moreover, once a question has been marked as "answered", the setting cannot be changed.
    Obviously a weakness in the system, but still a better indicator of success than your proposed measure of noise.
    Things are not quite so clear cut as you seem to think.
    If you ever knew how I thought, then communication between us would not be so difficult.  Once again, your thoughts with regard to the vertical centering of text in a floated <span> tag would be greatly appreciated.  Just do not provide them here, as this is not where I posed the original question.

  • Anyone think apple will allow plugins for safari at any point?

    I was thinking about getting 1password, but then read that although it saves passwords for websites, you have to open them from within its own browser, since safari won't allow it to transfer any of the information. Anyone think this will ever change?

    Anyone think this will ever change?
    Probably not, but opinions here don't matter. Tell Apple why this is of value for you via the channel where they look for such info:

    A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?
    By the way - "your products"... nobody here produced the iPhone, we are all just users. Apple is not here.

  • Thinking about getting a new iMac to use as the main computer.  Has anyone done this?  What is your experience and recommendations?

    We have a 2009 MBP, 2010 MBP, 2011 MBA, an IPAD 2, and several ipods.  Currently, my 2009 MBP is the main computer, holding all the music and pictures.  This has used up the majority of the available storage and definitely slows it down some.  I do back up the full computer to a backup drive and also remove the large movie files to another external drive.  I'm thinking about getting a new iMac to use as the main computer.  Has anyone done this?  What is your experience and recommendations?
    I look forward to all responses.
    Thanks,
    Brad

    Thanks for your response.  I look forward to hopefully learning something new here.
    A good share of my music was added via my CDs, but now everything is added via itunes and occasionally amazon.  Almost all my pictures and video are added through my cameras via iphoto although I have added some with the 'add image to iphoto library' function also.

  • Mid 2010 MacBook pro took a keyboard spill.  It still works but display is sooo dark - like no backlight.  I think this is an LED screen.  Does anyone know the fix for this?

    Hi all...  My mid 2010 MacBook Pro took a keyboard spill.  It still works but the display is very very dark.  A faint image can only be seen at an angle in very bright light.  I think this model has an LED screen.  Can anyone please tell me what the fix for this is?  Thank you sooooo much!

    Spill Cleaning
    Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
    Do
    Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
    Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
    Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
    Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
    Note what was spilled on your Mac.
    Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
    Don't
    Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
    Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
    Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).

  • I Want to Buy MacBook Pro 15" In Installments Can Anyone Here Tell me The Plans Of Installments

    Hello,
    Apple offers a Barclay's VISA card that provides 6-12 months at 0% interest on your first purchase from Apple.  You can even sign up for the card & get approved at the same time that you place your order. 
    If your purchase is under $999 USD you get 6 months at 0% interest.  If more than $999 you get 12 months at 0% interest.  As long as you make the minimum payment on time every month you continue at 0% until the promotional period runs out.
    Note: if any payment is late or you don't pay off the balance within the promotional period, you get charged all the interest that accrued from day one; as of today that rate is over 22%, so it is important to make all your payments on time and pay off of the full balance before the end of the promotional period.
    Last year I applied for the card at the same time I ordered my iMac; got approved immediately; and then set up an automatic payment every month with Barclays so I wouldn't risk being late; and then I paid off the remaining balance 30 days before the end of the promotional period.  Everything went smoothly, Barclays' online system worked perfectly; they did not play any billing tricks nor did they ever spam me with junk promotions.  Recently they offered another 12 months at 0% financing, so it's not just a one time offer!
    Your profile doesn't say where you are located, so if you are outside the USA you will need to check the Apple website for your country to see if there is a similar financing offer in your location.

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • Bought daughter new 8gb ipod touch but it only takes 900 of her 1400 songs.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    Bought daugher the 8gb ipod touch to replace her nano but it only takes 900 of her 1400 songs.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I was told that it would hold 2000+ songs.  She had no photos or videos on it, just uses it for music.  Can anyone advise.  Thanks

    The person who told you it would hold 2000+ songs was stretching the truth. This might be true with 128kbps MP3 files. Not true with 256kbps AAC files (like from the iTunes store). 
    128kbps MP3s are around 2 to 4MB each. 2000 x 3MB = 6GB.
    256kbps AAC files are often 5 to 10MB each
    The average size of your daughter's music files is 6.5GB/900 = 7.2MB
    1400 songs at 7.2MB = 14GB
    Many of us have the problem of not being able to sync our entire music collections.  In that you are not alone. The answer about converting to 128kbps AAC is a possible solution. It sacrifices sound quality for size, though.  My solution is to sync what I usually want to listen to. I have many songs that I rarely listen to; the result of ripping complete CDs, including all the "filler" songs.
