Ideal disk setup for MDFs, LDFs, TempDB, and cube files?

I'm about to build an enterprise SQL Server that will run both OLTP and our data warehouse (OLAP).  What is the proper disk setup for data files, please?  Is it something like:
1 for MDFs
1 for LDFs
1 for TempDB
1 for OLAP files
Or something close to that?
Thanks for any guidance.

  • Ideal hardware setup for Aperture

    Is there an ideal hardware setup for working with 18megapixel raw files in aperture? Of the three...graphics card, cpu and ram...which are the most important to processing the raw image.
    I am running 10.6.3 on a macbookpro 2.2GHz core 2 duo, 4G ram and an Nvidia card with 128Mb of vram.
    Overall it feels somewhat slow, about 10 seconds to load the full raw image on screen. Is that just to be expected? Any form of image adjustment usually switches to low res while adjustment is being made.
    Thanks in advance.

    A fast hard drive seems to be the most important thing now. The more I use Aperture, the more I appreciate the need for fast, fast hard drives! Open the activity monitor and monitor your disk activity. Monitor the IO - if you are constantly in the hundreds for the disk IO counters, you are IO bound (and more than likely it's your library database and preview thumbnails database).
    For a laptop, the Seagate 500GB with the 4 GB of flash built in that it manages might be a good way to go. I just got one and haven't had a time to put it in my Mac Book Pro for testing. If it manages to put most of your library database in the 4 GB flash cache, you won't see near the performance issues as with a regular hard drive.
    You could get a smaller SSD for your primary drive and to put the library on, then get one of the kits to remove the optical drive and put the hard drive in that bay. Reference your masters on the hard drive and that way you won't go broke buying a huge SSD. Gasp! I know, me recommending referenced files - I'm grudgingly coming around. Well, that and Aperture 3 has some pretty nice features for referenced files that are making me more willing to consider that kind of a setup, esp. when I look at the disk activity and constant fragmentation of the library and thumbnail database files. I'm seriously considering getting an SSD just for my library database and thumbnail databases and referencing the masters on my internal RAID.
    Also others have recommended iDefrag and I can heartily recommend it as well if you stick with traditional hard drives. If nothing else, download the free version and run it - I'll bet that the two aperture databases for your library will easily be the most fragmented files on your hard drive, followed by the thumbnails themselves. SSD obviously doesn't have the latency issues of rotating disk so defrag isn't needed - indeed it would just shorten the life of your SSD with a bunch of unnecessary writes. If you do consider SSD, the only one I can recommend for the Mac is from Other World Computing/MacSales as it does internal garbage collection. Until Mac OS X supports TRIM, normal SSDs that don't do internal garbage collection will run fine for a while, then hit a performance wall that will make you want to go back to your hard drive
    Anyway don't feel bad - until I started tweaking my hard drive setup, there wasn't a real speed difference between my MacBook Pro and my Mac Pro - want to talk about a real downer!

  • Best disk setup for Premiere CS6

    Hello,
    I want to improve my disk setup for Adobe Premiere CS6 because I got long loading times.
    My current setup:
    Crucial RealSSD C300 60GB SSD for the program
    Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD for media and Media Cache Files
    Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD for projects and exports
    My planed setup:
    new: Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SSD for the program
    Crucial RealSSD C300 60GB SSD for Media Cache Files
    2x Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD with Raid 1 for media
    new: Seagate Barracuda 2 TB HDD for projects and exports
    Is this the best solution to improve the performance?
    Thanks
    Tim

    What is the advantage of getting an extra HDD for the exports?
    None from a performance point of view.
    And should I use the 60GB SDD for the Media Cache Files?
    That is much too small. Depending on your projects, you will need at least 256 GB, but possibly even more.
    With only 350 GB of media and projects, my media cache is already 72 GB.

  • Disk Setup for CS4

    Hello All,
    Looking for some recommendations on disk setup for CS4. Some quick specs. XP Pro 64 bit,Intel i7 extreme,  12GB DDR3 RAM, and 8 Velociraptor 300 GB Drives.
    I orginally had it setup as a single Array (RAID 5 with online spare) with two partitions ( One for OS and program files, and one for storage and Scratch and Page file)on the array.  I wasnt getting very good performance so I decided to wipe and reconfigure.
    Would I be better off with 2 arrays? One array of 2 drives RAID 0(600 GB) for OS, Program Files, and Scratch Space. and the second array of 6 drives at RAID 5 (1.3 TB) for storage?
    Or maybe even go with a single drive for OS and Program Files (300 GB).  A single drive for Scratch Space (300 GB).  and then the 6 Drives in RAID 5 for storage?
    Also where would be the best loacation for the paging file?
    Thanks in advance for the help

    The speed of a 7-disk raid5 is far higher than a single disk. The speed degradation from a 7-disk to 6-disk raid may not outbalance the addition of a single disk for scratch.
    I am seriously considering to move 2 single disks to my raid array, so I end up with 2 x 7 disks in a Raid30.

  • SOftware for compressing, decompressing, encrypting and dencrypting files

    Hi, I'm new to the Mac world. I'm struggling to find a software that can open my .rar or .zip password-protected files (created in PCs) and that can create other password-protected either zip or rar files to be used in the mac or pc. I know all about disk utility but that's helpful only for Mac. And i've also read re certain applications that do part of work but don't know yet of any soft that serves as a one-stop shop solution for opening, creating, encrypting and decrypting files. Your assistance would be highly appreciated. thank you

    I know nothing about it but have a look at TrueCrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org/). It is a cross-platform application. Have you maybe thought about encrypting a flash drive and using that to store your files? I know it has a portable mode but again, I don't know anything about the program so you will have to look through the documentation.

  • The value should be set for Base image URL and Image file directory

    Hi experts
    Now customer has the following issue.
    XML Publisher concurrent request, using RTF layout template with LOGO, does not generate the LOGO for Excel output.
    but in output formats PDF, it is shown normally.
    from the debug log, we can found the following error message
    ======
    [051812_054716051][][ERROR] Could not create an image. Set html-image-dir and html-image-base-uri correctly.
    ======
    so I tell the customer to do the following action plan.
    1. in XML Publisher Administrator resp > Administration expand the HTML Output section.
    2a. enter a value for 'Base image URI'
    2b. enter a value for 'Image file directory'
    Customer set the value as following and retest this issue,but he found the issue is not solved.
    Base image URI: /u01/r12/ebssnd/apps/apps_st/comn/java/classes/oracle/apps/media/XXSLI_SONY_LIFE_LOGO.gif
    Image file directory: /u01/r12/ebssnd/apps/apps_st/comn/java/classes/oracle/apps/media
    I verified 'Base image URI' and 'Image file directory' settings:
    1) Change output type to HTML.
    2) Click the Preview.
    but the image is correctly displayed on HTML, so I think the issue is caused by user's uncorrectly setting of the base image URL and/or image file directory
    but could anyone give me some advice on which value should be set for Base image URL and Image file directory
    Regards
    shuangfei

    First thing to do is to edit the post and use some tags to format the code as it is unreadable and too much!
    Read the FAQ (https://forums.oracle.com/forums/help.jspa) to find out how to do this.
    Next we need to know the jdev version you are using!
    As the code is generated I would first try to generate it again after the db change.

    Hi Contactketan,
    These are not support file formats within Photoshop Touch. You could convert to .jpeg or .psd through Photoshop or Corel.

  • New iMac. Flash drive is primary for OS and apps.  I want to use my HD 2 (1 TB hard drive) for my bulky photo and music files.  Can I direct iPhoto and iTunes to use the larger hard drive as the primary target when importing?

    New iMac. Flash drive is primary for OS and apps.  I want to use my HD 2 (1 TB hard drive) for my bulky photo and music files.  Can I direct iPhoto and iTunes to use the larger hard drive as the primary target when importing?

    Yes.  Unfortunately, I don't know the specifics because I don't use iPhoto anymore and I completely copied over 15 years of MP3 files recently when I installed 10.7.  Needless to say, I have not opened iTunes since and probably never will again - not because of iTunes but because of my stupidity.  I did have some of the files backed up but I hadn't backed up in a while.......anyway....
    When I imported my CD's, I had them go directly to my external firewire.  I can't remember exactly how to set it, but in the preference section of iTunes you can specify an import destination to any drive that's available to your machine.  I did this with iPhoto as well way back at one point when I was using Tiger, but I don't remember the specifics on that either.  I can't imagine they would have discontinued support for that feature since then. 
    Sorry I couldn't help more.

  • PC build and Disk Setup for a Pro-Wannabe

    Hi All,
    I know everyone asks these questions and I thought I will not but, when you spend more than $3000 it feels their is no "Harm" in asking the question (but hopefully their will be Harm somewhere in the comments).
    So, after waiting for the Mac Pro update for 2 years (just to fool myself that I may buy it), I have decided to move from the Mac OS to Windows after 4 years. I was only using a Macbook Pro to edit and feel now have the suitable experience to begin working on an actual machine.
    If you ask my budget, I didn't have any so I went on a buying frenzy with my credit cards and will hopfully be driven to work harder to pay it off .
    Here are the parts I have bought:
    CPU - Intel 3930K (duh! I don't see a point in waiting for the 4th Gen)
    Mobo - ASUS P9X79 Pro
    RAM - GSkillz 32GB (8GBx4) @ 1600MHz 9-9-9 (as 3930K is limited to 1600MHz and 1.5V)
    Will buy this same set around end of this year to make it 64GB if I feel AE would eat it.
    Cabinet - CoolerMaster Storm Stryker (was buying HAF-XM but could not resist the looks of this).
    PSU - Seasonic 860W Platinum Plus (Thought 1k is overkill and 750 not future proof, pricey though)
    Storage (I thought I will get 1 cheap SSD and 1 Hybrid but then I read all the threads and went crazy)
    Samsung 840 Pro SSD- 256GB - 2 nos.
    Samsung 840 (nonPro) - 128GB - 2 nos.
    Seagate 7200rpm HD - 2TB - 3 nos.
    Monitor (just fyi) - Dell U2412 (planning to buy ASUS PA '13 or Dell Ultra '13 24" after few months)
    .. finally GPU - Not bought yet
    I ordered the ASUS GTX 680 4G as 780 was too costly
    but then I read the actual successor to 680 is 770. So I cancelled my 680 but the seller still has not confirmed, just hoping they cancel. Then it turns out 770-4G is not yet sold in my country (am not from the US) so I may import from US (surprisingly importing from Amazon with duties costs the same as probable street price in my country). So I will mot probably buy a..
    Gigabyte GTX 770 4G
    So, Question 1> Any comments on the component list?
    As I plan to build this on my own, have not thought of overclocking as I am not a geek and feel I should first get comfortable. Fair thought?
    And hence I have not bought any additional Fans or Coolers.
    And now for the Question 2> disk setup! Can you please fill the blanks or suggest alternatives.
    This is what I have planned:
    C: > Samsung 840 Pro 256GB : OS and _____ ??
    D: > Samsung 840 Pro 256GB: Previews and Renders and/or ____ ??
    E: > Samsung 840 128GB x 2 RAID-0 : Footage and ___ ?? (the 128GB version has slowest write speed so assigned it to footage)
    F: > Seagate 2TB x 2 RAID-0 HDD : Exports and General Personal Files (like Docs, Music)
    G: > Seagate 2TB : Dedicated solely as Backup Drive for crictical data at any time (which for me can be on any drive, that is why no RAID3/5 I feel)
    And I plan to use my old external USB2/Firewire/USB3 external drives (500GB/1TB) for manual backups.
    I can buy 1 or 2 more 2TBs (not SSDs) if it is really critical for some configuration but not anything more.
    Usage: I shoot only DSLR footage and use PPro and AE CS6. I have till now been using a 2009 17" Macbook Pro with an SSD. And could have been spotted sometimes using a Class 6 SD Card on a USB 2 card reader being used as the Media drive (Ouch!). I feel (a) now I have the skill to justify this as many times I end up not implementing an idea in AE as my machine just won't budge and (b) I plan to buy the BlackMagic Pocket Camera to learn capabilities of RAW media. Like many I do hope to make an indie in the next 2 or 3 years but I hope I can employ services of a professional who should at least give me respect when he looks at my machine
    If you have made it till here, thanks for your time. Waiting for your comments.
    Cheers!
    Ps: And yes I am planning to subscribe to CC as its cheap for a CS6 owner. And then after 1 year will judge if I will continue with CC once upgrade pricing goes (hopefully yes as I wait for an extensively GPU using AE version soon).

    Regarding question #1, build list, and question #2 drive setup:
    everything looks great except...
    add a good cpu cooler; lots of good choices out there including but not limited to: budget: Cooler Master 212 EVO, high-performance air: Noctua NH-D14, simple liquid: Corsair H110, full water cooling: many options (full water cooling is a pain to plan and build, but ooooohhh so quiet!)
    RAM: suggest go for 64GB at the onset rather than trying to add RAM later
    definitely plan on overclocking - 4 Ghz is a walk in the park and very safe since you aren't totally comfortable with overclocking, and the performance gain is rather significant for renders, etc.
    One SSD is plenty to get started - 256GB would be good for OS, programs, as well as providing some room for AE and photoshop caching
    2 drives in RAID 0 would work pretty well for all projects, media, etc. If you really want to spend more in the drive area up the RAID to a 3 or 4 drive RAID
    Suggest putting your backup drive in a hot-swap tray so you can remove it and provide off-site backup capability
    Regards,
    Jim

  • What is the Ideal Production Setup For One Admin and 4 Managed Servers

    Dear Experts
    I will be starting with production setup including one Admin server and 4 managed servers in one single domain.
    I am thinking of creating a single node environment(no clusters) as the machine has following configuration
    OS : Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter
    RAM : 48 GB
    System Type : 64 bit
    Processor : Intel(Xenon) 4 processors [email protected]
    Can you please let me know if this configuration would suffice for the 4 managed servers if i assign Xmx and Xms as 4096 and Heap Space as 1024 to all the Managed Servers.
    It is very urgent and i need to convey to the Infrastructure team if harware procurement is required.
    We are looking at somewhere around 300 concurrent users(maximum load) and 100(minimum load) at a given point of time.
    Please reply ASAP.
    Thanks in advance

    Heap size must be calculated according to the applications that are been deployed on each JVM.
    With no deployments, you dont need more than 256k for managed servers heap size and 512k for adminserver. As biggest its your heap size, longer will take your garbage collection. And if you can prevent it, better do it.

  • Raid card and scratch disk setup for FCP

    Hi Guys
    Can anybody tell me what is the correct way to set up a raid card and scratch disk for FCP if you have 3 x 2TB internal hard drives, with the OS on HD1 and drives 2 and 3 dedicated for FCP
    Also with this i also have all my documents i.e work stuff, invoices, pictures, music ect from my old windows PC and used to have them stored on HD2 with the Windows 7 OS on HD1 - i have been told that it is fine if i put this on the same drives as FCP is this correct...?
    i only ask this as i have been told how to do it in different ways by 3 people......

    Thanks John, although i'm rather embarrassed to admit that I am a complete newbie when it comes to technical/computer hardware terms (i.e. I have no idea about different types of disks, other than a HDD and a SSD, or even what the difference is between your media cache and a scratch disk).
    This means that after reading all the links you so helpfully provided hasn't done much other than making me feel even more stupid!
    The best that I can conclude from what I think that i've understood is that I will use:
    Intel 530 Series 120GB SSD for O/S, Programs (and Pagefile?? No idea what this is, sorry)
    Samsung 840BW 500GB - Scratch Disk (is this the media cache?) and preview
    Seagate Barracuda 3TB HDD - media, projects, and exports
    Please tell me if i've got something around the wrong way....
    Thanks again.

  • Hard Disk Setup for Video Editing

    Dear Forum.
    My name is Tom Woods and I was hoping that you may be able to advise me or point me in the right direction, in regards to the question below....
      : ) Im not sure if you are in this area or not, my apologies to you if this is the case.. Here goes..
    I'm thinking of getting Adobe Production Premium installed where ill be using Photoshop, After Effects, and Premier Pro, and need some advice on my current Disk Setup to maximize performance to work with editing HD 1080i video.
    My question is;
    "Which of my internal 'Disks', do I assign the following processes to, these processes are;
    Photoshop: SCRATCH DISK
    After Effects: DISK CACHE
    Premier Pro: SCRATCH DISK Captured Video  / SCRATCH DISK Captured Audio  / SCRATCH DISK Video Previews  / SCRATCH DISK  Audio Previews   
    Premier Pro: MEDIA CACHE FILES / DATABASE
    And finally the recorded Video 'parts' ready for editing, and the 'previews', and then the 'saved project file'.
    My current Disk setup is:
    C: SSD - 90GB (quite full)
    D: SSD - still considering size to purchase
    E: SSD - still considering size to purchase
    F: HDD - 500 GB (currently used for all Video Parts and all work)
    *Also, for drives D & E, what 'SIZE' in GB would they need to be for assigning the Scratch, Cache and other files mentioned above? (when i purchase them)*
    If you can help me out with this it would be totally amazing, im really stuck and finding internet advice very unclear..
    I appreciate you will be busy but I thought I would try here first for some help! Thank you so much for reading this so far...
    My Best regards to you
    Timmy

    Tom,
    Let's start with the terminology. Once you understand that, things will become a lot easier.
    MEDIA: Name for all the raw material you shot, whether video or pictures or audio recordings. It does not matter whether this was captured from tape based video cameras, or imported from card or disk based cameras.
    MEDIA CACHE: When Media are imported into a project, PR automatically creates three kind of files that are stored in the location you set up in the Preferences. They are .IMS files or indexed files, .CFA or conformed audio files and last .PEK files, that display the audio waveform in the timeline.
    MEDIA CACHE DATABASE: Also automatically created by PR and contains pointers to the files in the Media Cache.
    Note that occasionally the Media Cache and Media Cache Database can become corrupted and in that case it is a good idea to Clean the Media Cache from Preferences. When opening a project indexing, conforming and generation of PEK files is automatically done. Just be a bit patient for that process to finish.
    PREVIEWS: Also called RENDER files. When you render a timeline to turn the red bar into a green bar for preview purposes, PR stores .XMP files in the PRV directory location you have set in the Project Settings.
    Media files are typically very large and require a good sustained sequential read speed. Once ingested (imported or captured) they remain unchanged, because PR is a non-destructive editor. On the one hand this makes a SSD an ideal type of disk, because it is only reading the media files and not writing, but the size may be the limiting factor.
    Media cache files are typically small and many, so here sustained R/W transfer rates are important, making it less than ideal to put them on a SSD, because the major drawback of SSD's is their limited and finite number of writes.
    Now Tom, to your specific situation:
    C: SSD for OS & programs.
    D: HDD for media and projects (because of the size of the media and frequent changes in projects).
    E: SSD for static page-file and exports.
    F: SSD for media cache and previews, although a HDD may give you better life expectancy but also slower performance.
    Maybe this article can be helpful as well, because it shows the impact of codecs on your system: Adobe Forums: What PC to build? An update...
    You may have to get additional HDD's for raid configuations, if you edit 4K material or 422 material, because it is all about transfer rates.
    To give you a rough indications of what you can expect from your drives, I suggest you get HD Tune Pro to test for yourself, but here are some indicative figures:
    SSD: R around 450 MB/s, W around 300 MB/s, depending on the brand/model in steady state with SATA 6G. SATA 3G is far slower. Sandforce controllers may top out around 250 MB/s W.
    HDD: R around 150 MB/s, W around 140 MB/s

  • Need advice on Hardware & Disk Setup for Premiere Pro CS6

    I am about to purchase a Mac Pro and after reading threads on hardware requirements & different disk setups I am still a little unsure which way to go. If someone could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
    Firstly this system will be used primarily for the following tasks: Editing AVCHD media (Sony HDR-XR550) and burning to disk with light editing, Creating Web Videos from AVCHD Media, editing images in Ps & Lr. This is strictly a hobby for me and I will also use the machice for some light AutoCad work.
    The current system specs are as follows:
    3.33GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor, 16GB (4x4GB) RAM, Bay 1: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, Bay 2: 512GB SSD, Bay 3: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, Bay 4: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB, Two 18x SuperDrives.
    My questions are:
    1.     Reading the thread on Generic Guidelines for Disk Setup I plan to use the 4 Disk setup described. If I only have 1 SSD, should I make it C: D: E: or F:? My priority would be the editing speed rather than the exporting speed.
    2.     If I can stretch my budget to include another SSD then again, should I make it C: D: E: or F:?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hi Harm (& Jim),
    After much deliberation I agree with you and Jim. I am not sure what I was thinking!
    I have decided to build my own machine based around your reccomendations in previous posts. Could you please look over the system specifications and offer any suggestions or comments?

  • Disk setup for Laptop on Premiere Pro CS6

    So, I have read the guidlines on disk setup but I feel that it is geared towards a desktop setup. I would like to know how do I setup a laptop that has the three (3) HDD bays. I only have two drives on it and I am looking forward to buy a new one depending on how you guys reccomend it is set up. My OS disk is 128gb Crucial M4 and the second drive is a 7200 750GB seagate momentus xt. Which will eventually become:
    OS - 128gb SSD
    Source - 750gb drive
    Render - ?????
    External - cache/export/storage
    Should I go for another 7200 drive of the same kind or should I remove it and go for SSD for both source and render? Thank you very much for any help.

    Good, that is a strong laptop spec.
    I'd vote to go with a second matching Momentus in bay 3 for sure.
    Suggest you buy it, configure it, and test it out to see if you have the drive speed with your workflow to max out your cores (monitor w/ task mgr) with just the two internal drives and nothing external. I don't have much personal experience with your particular codec (sounds like Canon DSLR?), but I suspect that you will be CPU bound more than disk I/O with this setup.
    Your eSATA extrernal drive or array may only be needed for backups. If it does turn out you are want or need even more drive performance, configure the two 7200 rpm drives as a RAID 0 in the laptop and bundle with something (single 7200 or G-RAID mini) coupled externally.

  • Ideal drives setup for running Logic???

    Hello,
    I just purchased an internal 256GB Samsung 840 pro SSD drive. I have an external Firewire 800 2 TB external hard drive (7200 rpm) as well. What would be the ideal setup for running Logic?
    Thanks!
    2011 iMac 27", 16 GB of RAM, Logic Pro 9.1.8, OS X 10.7.5

    Thanks.
    Already talked to the tech doing the installation and he said I can stay on Lion.
    Going to get rid of the optical drive, like you suggested, and keep the internal HDD to work in conjunction with the SSD. So, I'll put my OS X and Logic on the SSD, samples on the internal HDD, and project folders on the external firewire drive. Is this what you suggest? Did I miss anything?
