How does my disk performance look?

Hello all. I just did a read test on my 4 drives with HDtune. This is my first build for use with CS6 (mostly Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Lightroom). All new drives. Asus P9x79 Pro Mobo, Intel 3930k chip.
C: 256GB Samsung 840 pro connected to 6GB/s SATA slot - has OS and program files installed
D (Marvell RAID 0): 2x Western Digital 1TB Caviar black hard drives which I have connected to the 2 - 6GB/s Marvell SATA slots - empty except for 2 images of my C drive
E: 256GB Plextor m5pro connected to 6GB/s SATA slot - empty
F (Intel RAID 0): 2x Western Digital 1TB Caviar black hard drives which I have connected to the 2 - 3GB/s SATA slots - empty
Below are the screenshots from HDtune. Do the numbers look right?
Would it be beneficial to run a write test? Apparently all the info on the drive gets erased with HDtune. Thanks for the help everyone.

Your read data looks reasonable, I do not have any of your specifically devices. I always run the write test just after I get them because it has to be done before or without formatting. I have weeded out several drives because of write rate problems.

How does the Touch screen look in direct / indirect sunlight?

Was sitting on the LIRR heading home when I had this thought... after watching some guy playing with his PSP, as the sun was falling on his screen.... hhmmmm, I wondered how my Touch, which is now enroute from Anchorage, is going to handle the sunlight hitting it? Will I be able to watch my movies/tv shows without problem? How does the Touches screen look when sunlight hits it. I realize that sunlight hitting the screen is not an optimal viewing situation, but couldn't help but think how it would look. Those that are lucky to have one.... how does it handle sunlight?

readable, but not great. I had it out in bright Ozzie sunshine and I could use it, but I wouldn't watch a movie on it.

How does repair disk function work using an install disk?

Appreciate any input........ thanks...
I need to repair my disk using the "repair" function in disk utility, but the option is blank.., however the message states to use the install disk that came with the Macbook Pro..., but there is no way to access the function....., it only gives the options for a re-install...
anybody have any ideas ?
I also use a timemachine...... is it possible to somehow use this feature to fix my disk ?

Look on the menubar for utilities.

How does Premiere Pro perform on a Dell XPS 15?

Trying to establish if Premiere Pro (via a full subscription of the Creative Cloud suite for $49.99) is worth the investment when I'm working on a Dell XPS 15 laptop with 16 GB of RAM (rest of the hardware is standard top-of-the line XPS 15 options, i.e. quad core processor, NVIDIA video card, etc). I've been using Adobe Premiere Elements and a ton of 4K GoPro footage with some pretty meaningful slowdown when rendering. This could be par for the course, but I'd just as quickly go with another video editing program like Sony Vegas for my purposes and pay far less, but of course also get far less in terms of Adobe power.
Also - this laptop does not have a 7200rpm hard drive (the one that isn't solid state, which is 32GB by itself). It's 1TB but likely in the high 5's instead...not sure if I can use a faster external hard drive and meet optimal spec requirements to preserve video as much as possible. Please advise.

My inquiry is actually to the reverse of your suggestion; I have the laptop, but I hadn't yet purchased the Adobe Cloud Creative Suite. Though I went ahead and did so this week. The XPS 15 was chosen for its lightweight aluminum / carbon fiber construction, Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, 1TB of hard drive space for ample storage, and the SSD for active programs so things are quick to launch. I've had very few complaints with the laptop itself, having used only Adobe Premiere Elements (which came with the purchase) and the GoPro app for developing a few videos of aerial GoPro footage. It has served its purpose; I'm not a professional doing this work to sustain my living - it's a hobby to me, though I aim to have the best possible quality in all things when possible. Granted, I could've spent the same amount of money, or perhaps a little more, and gotten the best and fastest desktop arrangement money could buy for my purposes with ample more power and performance, but I wanted 100% mobility for all my equipment (drone, camera, and video production unit). Gives-and-takes in everything, of course - the biggest consequence has been rendering, but in this forum that probably goes without saying, and though not awesome, it's livable even when using GoPro 4K codec as BartonGarrett256 wisely mentions.
Nevertheless, Adobe Premiere has been doing well so far...certainly better than the Elements application in terms of both performance and capability (naturally). I haven't gotten to After Effects yet, though I do love having that at my whim with my Cloud subscription which is, to me, well worth what you get for what you pay if you know you'll be using multiple applications for the foreseeable future. The days of paying hundreds of dollars for one application are ending, as well they should in my opinion.
Though I'm open-minded to what one might suggest for the most powerful laptop on the market - 8 core is honestly news to me. My XPS was purchase in December 2014 and it had the best processor Dell could offer with the XPS model. I almost went with an Alienware, but it would've been a lot bulkier, and the display was archaic in a world moving more and more toward crystal clarity wherever possible.
One other setback I would love advice / opinions on - the 1TB drive that came with the XPS is not 7000+ in speed...I recall it being in the 5's. Can I remedy this with an external drive that does have the higher speeds cited as optimal for the Adobe video editing suite?

So how does Target Disk Mode work without a FireWire port?

Does it work with USB 2.0?

FireWire-less Macs isn't new, unfortunately. The MacBook Air (still in production) and the unibody MacBook (EoL) were released without FireWire. Apple has allowed for wireless, wired and even remote disc to assist with the day-to-day needs of migration assistant, file sharing and data transfers. Yes, TDM makes this process much easier, especially if there's a problem with the drive. But for the average user, who doesn't use FireWire's TDM feature, you're not completely dead in the water.

Oracle Agent 12g: how does the license model look like?

Hi ,
if I install the Oracle agent 12g on a linux box, on which no other Oracle products are installed:
- does this require an extra license?
We just want to monitor the host (linux box) via Oracle agent, that's all.
It's my understanding that the installation of an agent on a host does not require any license at all - but going through the documentation of the CloudControl (Oracle® Enterprise ManagerLicensing Information 12c Release 1)
I didn't find any answer to my question. Is there any documentation available which contains the answer to my question?
Any help willl be appreciated.

There is no license required to deploy an agent. Host monitoring is part of base EM functionality and does not require any license.

How does Adobe CS2 perform in Leopard?

Hi all
I am very interested in migrating from Tiger to Leopard but one of the reasons that is preventing this is the supposed behaviour of Adobe CS2 in the latter. Upgrading to CS3 is not possible due to financial reasons so I am more interested in anyone who is using, or has used, Adobe CS2 applications in Leopard to see what the stability is like.
I have read that CS2 is not rock sold under Leopard but the proof is in the using so please tell me your experiences briefly if you can so I can make a more informed decision about my options.
Many thanks.
MPD

Thanks for your reply - I have CS2 - the basic suite (AI,GoLive, InDesign, Photoshop, Acrobat) and upgraded from Panther to Tiger, so I could use Acrobat 8. I use the suite on an old Quicksilver - processer as below - 733 MHz - usually okay but spinny on charts that are complex - but I don't overwork AI and Photoshop - mostly use InDesign and Acrobat, and an additional InDesign on another computer. I deauthorized the single InDesign on my iBook and put it on the MacBook Pro to try it out - the first couple of times it was okay but sometimes it fails to open - starts to "bounce" then just hangs. This is quite frustrating since the power of the MacBook far outstrips my stalwart Quicksilver- I'd love to access it but I really can't afford CS3. If you have any workarounds, that would be great. For now I'd be happy just to use InDesign on the MacBook, but it would be great to have the entire suite available on it.

Office 2011 no problems. CS5 Photoshop no problems. I don't use InDesign.

FCS and Xserve disk performance requirements

We have a new Xserve with FCS 1.5. We need to add more storage and I am trying to find information on how important the disk performance is to FCS. I can find quite a lot of info on FC Pro and it's disk needs, but I can find nothing on how FCS uses it's storage and how critical the speed of the disk is to how FCS performs.
Can someone point me to something that addresses this?

It depends on your usage needs.
Final Cut Server's database needs a very high speed disk, if you have any number of users or assets. It's usually the internal startup disk so making that an SSD or SAS drive will help you most.
The disk speed for proxies and master content is usually less of a concern because you're delivering the content over a network, which is a bigger bottleneck than the disks. But if you have more than like one user, and are working with files bigger than DV25/XDCAM @ 25mb, you'll want a RAID, preferably on a storage area network (like Xsan) rather than shared over Ethernet.

How does Google know my city

Ok, I hope to god this is not a ******** question, with an obvious answer. How does google know to look for certain stores, lets say Barnes and Noble, only in my vicinity? I haven't set any preferences for it. Is it based on my registration with apple?

I don't know for sure, but I think that Google does some location awareness based on the rough location through which your IP address is routed.
There exist many geolocation maps on the internet that map your IP address to an approximate location for you. That plus Google's massive search engine, and the difference between Renton, VA and Renton, WA becomes apparent, at least to them.
I've seen limited forms of this even on other devices, where Google automatically routed me to a mobile version of their site, and localized to the approximate area it thought I was in.

How does the mac mini perform with cs5

Just curious
How does the Intel HD Graphics 4000 in the new mac mini perform with cs5 photoshop cs6 photoshop?
thanks
Ted

Jeff, I appreciate your comment, so you haven't had any problem with using the painttools in CS 6 photoshop and the 3d type etc, in other words all the features that CS6 photoshop has.
I was thinking about buying the mac mini but was concerned how it works with CS 5 (which I have) I will have to take another look at the MiniMac server with the 3000 card. I do a lot of Digital Painting primarily Painter 12.2 but and would like to use the Painter brushes in CS 5 ( have not upgraded to CS 6.) My Imac is 6 years old and really is not fast enough.
Thanks for replying

How does one perform mailbox to mailbox moving of email messages w/ Messaging 3.X?

How does one perform mailbox to mailbox moving of email messages with Messaging 3.X?

In an ISP environment there are times that a user changes his
login name (his unique identifier in the ISP's network, also used as
his email address) from one value to another. It is very convenient
for the ISP to be able to move messages from the user's old mailbox
to the user's new mailbox when this situation occurs.

With Messaging Server 2.0, this was easily accomplished by simply
moving the mail messages on disk. However, with the added complexity
of Messaging 3.0 where there are back links, reference counts, etc.,
associated with mail messages, moving files on disk from one mailbox
to another is no longer valid.

The MoveUser utility, which is new in MS 3.X, moves messages from
one messaging server to another or from one maildrop path to another.
Can this utility be used to move messages from one mailbox to another?

The answer is yes, it can. The user should be aware that if
duplicate email message id's exist in the mailbox before the
move, the messages related to the duplicate message id's will
be duplicated in the target mailbox.

See the online documentation contained with the product or the
Messaging 3.X Administrator's Guide for exact syntax.

Hi
If I understand you correctly and if you are using Apple Mail version 2.0 or above navigate to /Users/Home folder. The Home folder is the one with the house icon, within that folder you will see a Library folder, within that folder you’ll see a Mail folder, within that folder you’ll see a folder that begins with POP followed by your name, within that folder will be a folder called INBOX.mbox, within that folder is a Messages folder. All the mail that you see within the application are there. They will be numbered and have a file suffix of .emlx. You can move these wherever you like.
If you are using Entourage X, or Entourage 2004 you can easily multiple select mail messages, addresses etc from within the application and drag whatever you’ve selected to wherever you like.

How does Index fragmentation and statistics affect the sql query performance

Hi,
How does Index fragmentation and statistics affect the sql query performance

How does Index fragmentation and statistics affect the sql query performance
Very simple answer, outdated statistics will lead optimizer to create bad plans which in turn will require more resources and this will impact performance. If index is fragmented ( mainly clustered index,holds true for Non clustred as well) time spent in finding
the value will be more as query would have to search fragmented index to look for data, additional spaces will increase search time.

How does Time Capsule treat data other than disk images?

Hi there
I have a 3TB TC to use primarily as a wireless backup, as intended by Apple.
However, I wish to temporarily transfer a couple of GBs of data to it for transferring across to another machine.
I seem able to do the above, but my question is: how does the TC treat the two different types of data?
- Is it a better idea to partition the drive first?
- Is the TC likely to automatically delete the original data, like it does with old disk images, when the disk gets full?
- Can the TC handle the disk images and the original data side-by-side?
Just need some help understanding the 'Apple Magic' with this one!
I do realise that having the original data on the TC won't help me if it fails, but like I said, this is a temporary measure. Please don't post about this, as you won't win yourself any points - you'll just look like a smart-*** and annoy everyone.
Thanks in advance!

1. The Time Capsule will not automatically delete data that wasn't originally put on it as part of a Time Machine backup.
2. It isn't possible to partition the Time Capsule. Network drives can only be partitioned by software specifically designed to work with that drive.
