How to Organize LR files with New two HD System 7 machine?

We are getting a new System 7 workstation with a 256GB SSD, and a 1 TB 7200 2nd drive.  We have some 40,000 pics in the current catalogue.  Photo files are approx 190 GB.  Previews are 12 GB, catalog is 430 MB and the backup is 420 MB.
The current HD is 750GB, with some 60 GB in XP "overhead" and 250 GB of total files including all LR related files (some195 GB) as listed above.  Obviously I can't put everything on the 256GB SSD.  I assume the most logical solution is to put all original digital files on the 1 TB drive and leave all other files on the SSD drive.
Any help is appreciated as I sure would like to get this right the first time.  Speed is becoming a problem with the old machine and I would like to optimize LR on the new setup.
Thanks very much for any help . . . I looked over the Forum and did not find answers to this issue.

Not sure how to be clearer...
SSD will work best with the OS and applications. You can put the catalog on it as well, but I would try to keep it as free as possible given the small size of the disk. Try the cache on both, you can change this in LR, to establish which location gets the best performance. Back ups of your original files should be on another separate disk, an external or on line, not on the same disk as your working files or where your OS is, otherwise there is little point in backing up LR back ups are also best on a separate disk altogether, but if you only have two just make sure they are on a disk other than where the catalog is located, in this case the boot drive is better than nothing..
I, personally use a four disk system. Boot drive, with OS, applications and cache.
Internal drive 1 with catalog
Internal drive 2 files
External drive backups of files and catalog.
This also backed up on line.
But as you will see from the link I posted there are differing ways of setting up LR, best to try different configurations for yourself. Moving the catalog and or caches is pretty simple, just leave the original files alone and you will be fine messing with different configurations.

    Hi,
    For custom forms and reports, you need to open it using Forms/Reports Builder 10g, compile it, and upload it again to the server.
    For the CUSTOM_TOPs, make sure it is set in the custom<CONTEXT_NAME>.sh file under $APPL_TOP, and in default.env file on the Applications tier.

    how to convert raw files from new fujifilm x-t1 ?

    The work around of converting the CR2 to dng either with the dng converter or ACR 6.7 will allow working in LR and CS5 but not with the latest raw conversion engine from Adobe i.e PV 2012.
    Remember to keep a copy of the CR2 files if you wish to utilize the Canon software.

  • Transferred my Library to new laptop, but how to associate/sync iPhone with new laptop?

    I got a new laptop. The old laptop is still working. I transferred my library using the Home Sharing method and all of my items were moved except my apps. I plugged in my iPhone to the new computer and used "Transfer Purchases from iPhone" option and all of my apps were added to the library. But, now I don't know how to associate the iPhone with the new computer. When I plug in my iPhone to the new computer. It starts to sync. It says steps 1 through 3, spins for 20 seconds and says complete, but nothing was done. I do not get the "this iPhone is associated with another library" message when I plug it in to new computer, perhaps because I've authorized both computers. All I can find in my searches is how to avoid losing all of your data and how to transfer your library, but none has dealt with this exact situation. I am stumped as to how to get iPhone associated with new computer. Can I transfer my backup from the old computer and restore from backup? Other thoughts? Sorry if the answer is somewhere (I'm sure it is), but I have spent two days looking.

    Randers4, so I carefully followed the directions (only one that confused me was about adding a fake address/calendar entry, is that for Macs, I'm using a PC?.)  I restored it from the backup and everything looked good. I had hope, the final step says to sync it and when I did, I had the exact same problem. It spun, went quickly through only 3 steps (even though there were 7 sync steps with my old laptop) and nothing changed. It clearly didn't sync.
    So, I had an idea that I would back up everything by right clicking in the left pane and forcing a back up on the new computer, and then erasing the entire phone and then restoring from the backup I just made to see if that would make a difference. So, after I tried that and it restored, it was weird. All of my settings were there. Some folders were there, my pictures were there, but all of my apps, folders, music and video was missing and it still wouldn't sync. So, then I had to plug it back into my old laptop and do a restore from there to get that stuff back.
    Shouldn't I get a message when I plug the iPhone into the new laptop saying this phone is connected to another computer? I tried "Reset Warning Messages" but it doesn't do anything. At this point, I don't care if I lose some of the stuff from my iPhone (texts, etc)...but I want it to sync to the new computer because my old laptop is on its death bed.
    So frustrating, all of my iTunes content is on the new computer, the only piece that is missing is getting it to "talk" to the iPhone. Times like this I wish I wasn't a poor teacher and could afford to get a nice Mac laptop.

  • How to delete the file with space in name

    Hi
    I want to delete the file "test ex.txt" file.
    i run the following command in command prompt.i can delete the file successfully.
    /bin/rm -f /mnt/"test ex.txt"
    I want to run the command from java.So i am using the following code
    String cmd = "/bin/rm -f /mnt/\"test ex.txt\"";
         Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    process = rt.exec(cmd);
    The file was not deleted.
    How to delete the file with space in name?
    Help me

    Use the form of exec that takes an array of command + args.
    arr[0] = "/bin/rm"
    arr[1] = "-f"
    arr[2] = "/home/me/some directory with spaces";Or use ProcessBuilder, which is the preferred replacement for Runtime.exec, and which Runtime.exec calls.

  • How to use track effects with new version of GarageBand

    In the version of GarageBand before this one, you could access different effects that you could manage and apply to the different tracks.  Each track had an area containing its set of effects that were either activated or deactivated.  With this removed, i am not sure how to add those same kind of effects.  I am aware of the new nobs that are provided in order to mix and edit trebles, bass, mid, etc., but i want to be able to add different effects such as voice transformer, flanger, chorus, speech enhancer, bit crusher, bass amp, track echo, track reverb, amplifier, etc.  I desperately need help finding out how to do this, as this was a major part of my mixing and producing with GarageBand, and without these given effects, i do not feel as comfortable using GarageBand.

  • How can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?

    Today I update firefox to 13.0. I like the new "new type". I want to konw how can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?
    I don't want to change the homepage to about:newtab.
    Sorry for my bad English.

    This is a very annoying thing. Every update from Firefox resets this config setting back to about:newtab. I changed '''''browser.newtab.url''''' in 12.x to '''''about:blank''''' and it resetted back in update 13.0 and now I have to do the same thing again in 13.0.1.
    The drawback with about:newtab is Firefox opens up dataports for every URL that are linked and gets reopened for every lame 'newtab' you click on. Just use [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx Tcpview - data port viewer] and watch how many extra dataports that opens up from this crazy 'feature'.

    If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.)
    You can manually sync music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and iTunes U lessons. You can’t manually sync photos and info (contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and so on).
