Ideal setup for a 2tb hdd and 250 gb ssd drives?

Right now my 2tb hdd is empty everything is on the 250gb ssd. When I start saving from different applications say Garageband will it be saved to the 2tb or 250gb drive? or does the 2tb kick in after the 250gb is filled? should I leave it as it is or is there a better way for this to be set up? new to iMacs new to 2 internal drives. BTW just hooked up an external 3tb drive. Many thanks!

What do you mean it is not regonized. Have you opened Disk Utility and the internal is not listed in that?
Just because it doesn't show on the desktop or in Finder doesn't mean the system is not seeing it. There are options in Finder Preferences to show or hide disks freom the desktop and the sidebar in finder.

  • 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.

  • Proper setup for using two computers and backup drives?

    I've just purchased Aperture 3 and want to fix a longstanding problem I've had with my workflow and setup in Lightroom. I've got an iMac and a MBP and what I'd like to do is use the iMac as my main computer for Aperture. My plan is to import my existing files into Aperture and copy them to an external (non-portable) hard drive for back-up purposes. Based on this, I'd have two copies of each file, one each on the iMac and the back-up drive, right?
    I also use my MBP for a lot of photo editing work while on the road, but don't have a lot of drive space on it. I've bought a 750GB hard drive and I'd like to have the Library on this drive as well for use on the MBP. I know this would give me three copies of each file, but it would also give me some peace of mind in the event I somehow lost the info on the 750GB drive. I don't want copies of the images on the MBP directly as I don't have enough space.
    Can this setup be "easily" done and if I make a change in an image on one computer will it be synchronized between the two computers and the two external hard drives? I guess in plain English, what I'd like to achieve is the ability to work on either computer and have the most recent versions synchronize when I attach the 750GB drive to the iMac, with the non-portable external drive as the back-up for the synchronized Library.
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Kevin

    No, vaults only look after a managed library. A referenced library has to be backed up manually.
    There are a few reasons i prefer to use a referenced set up. I use a MBPro on the road for long periods and sometimes high volumes of large image files, so the limited capacity HD is no longer a problem.
    Aperture does not slow down with a referenced library as the HD fills.
    The Vaults cannot be accessed like manual back ups can, there is no way of knowing what is in there, you hope it is your entire Aperture library.
    With manual project backup you have a more manageable size that is much more versatile, and is viewable because of its smaller size. You can delete stuff and then restore it from the backup.
    It is safer in my opinion to not have all the library in a single library folder. Much safer split up by project.
    When i did use a managed library and Vaults there were times when i wanted stuff off the Aperture library but still kept in the vault, which was not possible.

  • Twin unpowered USB hub for connecting external HDD and iphone

    I have a MBA and a powered Kensington 7 port USB hub which works great when I am either at home/in the office.
    Is there an unpowered twin port USB hub that would allow me to connect both my WD myv passport 320gb external HDD and 3g iphone to my MBA when i am truly on the move?
    thanks in advance
    Message was edited by: NRG1970

    Because those are both drawing power from the macbook air, it might be questionable, but any should do, but I haven't seen any 2 port hubs, only four port ones, and I tend to like Logiix, as their support is good and their products are good also, and they are fairly low profile.

  • Using a Time Capsule for Time Machine backups and as a data drive

    Hi There....can I use my Apple Time Capsule for my Time Machine backups and as a drive I can put data on?

    Yes, you can use your time capsule as a drive for data.  If you create a disk image, you reserve a certain amount of space for that image. Time Machine will respect that space and leave the disk image alone even if there is a large amount of unused space on the image.
    If you create a folder, it starts with zero space until you add data to it. The folder can be as large as you would like as long as the space is available on the TC.
    So, each has an advantage. The disk image will reserve the space until you fill it up and the folder will not. But, the folder can be as large as you would like as long as the TC has space available.
    Your next question might be can you change the size of a disk image after it has been created? I haven't tried this, but think you probably could.
    For most users, I think the folder concept is probably simpler for them to use and easier to understand. But more advanced users may favor the disk image concept if they feel that space will be at a premium on the disk.

  • I like to use the 2nd HDD tray to add SSD drive

    Hello,
    I like to use the 2nd HDD tray in order to add a SSD drive.
    Are there any additional parts required in order to fix the new drive? If yes, please mention the name and part number.
    Yours
    Stephan

    > Is there a specific HDD caddy or maybe a compatible model from another Toshiba notebook which fits into the 2nd slot?
    What you need is an HDD bracket for a 2.5 HDD as posted by Dr.Lamp
    Such part can be purchased from different computer dealers also from an Toshiba authorized service partner available in your country.
    Ask or search simple for 2.5 SATA HDD bracket
    By the way: 2nd HDD is possible ONLY if the 2nd HDD slot would contain the HDD connector

    With all due respect, I would not blame the SSD drives, as much as I would question your network.
    Is your DHCP server just slow and/or overwhelmed? What about PortFast?
    Get your network guys to document the latency of DHCP request for your location. If necessary, have them do a trace.

  • WVC54G setup for third party applications and also firmware query.

    I have resurrected someone's old WVC54G and installed it to work initially wirelessly to my netwark and then my Windows 7 64-bit laptop. I did an initial reset, then set up the ip address etc. to the system here, and everything seems to  work even though the viewer and recorder software installer gave a Windows error message.
    I'd like to be able to look at the camera via the VLC viewer application, and I see from another posting here that this should work.  Is there a guide anywhere showing how to do this? Ideally I'd like to understand how to interface the camera so that I can test various third party camera applications.
    Also, the Linksys setup software says the firmware version is V5.10, Feb 21, 2005, which seems a much higher number than it should be. Is this right?

    Try downloading the viewer and recorder utility from the linksys website under the download section which is pretty user friendly.
    To view it in VLC player, you can use the option 'open url' in file menu and type in http://your camera's IP
    The latest FW for wvc54g is ver. 2.11. The version you have mentioned might be software version.

  • Help with setup for roaming on 3502 and 1252

    Hello everyone, I have a bit suggest about setting up roaming without having it connect different SSID. I figuring when I was at Rochester Institute of Technology college when I walk in hall, I seen my phone wifi signal was never disconnected but seen 1142 (I figured it out what design look like) change from green to blue in every location. My major is Information & Computing Studies at NTID.
    My current setup at home:
    1. Internet to Untangle Firewall to Cisco Catalyst Express 500 with PoE to two 3502i at home
    2. Cisco Catalyst Express 500 to Cisco Catalyst Express 500 with PoE to two 1252 at garage
    3. 3502i and 1252 are running Autonomous IOS or Standalone
    And also we have smartphones, apple ipads and iphones, and a laptops.
    I want to set the same SSID so they should automatically connect via roaming to any location like RIT and even dual band should work too. I do not have Virtual WLC or Windows Server (I should get Windows Server 2008 R2 or 2012 from RIT and I can download virtual WLC too). Will it work without WLC and server?
    In case, If it is not possible without WLC then I would like to know what requirement list so I can add to that to make it work.

    Gage Burchett wrote:Stephen, All of these AP are running WPA2-PSK AES + WPA-PSK TKIP (Cipher AES CCMP + TKIP) with same passhrase and same SSID. Any channel still work? Isn't 802.1x can be used with Windows Server that have RADIUS? Are you sure I leave these same configuration so it will roaming itself or client?
    I would stick with channels 1/6/11, those are the standard non overlapping channels for the 2.4GHz side.  For 5GHz, any channel you pick should work as the channels in 5GHz do not overlap.
    And yes, so long as the SSID, PSK and VLAN mapping (if you are doing sub-interfaces) are the same, and there is some overlapping of the AP signals, your clients should roam between the AP just fine.

  • How do you setup for your multi cores and other settings?

    since the preferences doesnt really give us a option does that mean that FCPX just "knows" how good your computer is and what you want to devote (memory wise, etc) to it?

    I have the same problem - beach balls and temporary freezing, on 2 Mac Pros (8 Core, 32GB RAM, HD5870 card). All the while CPU and other resources are not maxed out; this is on 10.6.8. there seems to be 'some' bugs - for some people - that in fact make FCPS quite slow (and slowing hte system down as well) all the while there is no bottleneck in hardware....  

  • System Setup for editing / motion graphics and color-correcting

    I am looking to add a second monitor for previewing in FCP as well as color-correction. I've looked into a JVC LCD 20" Production monitor with SDI, etc. coupled with a Blackmagic Decklink HD card. But that combo costs over $3500. Is there a lower-cost solution to this? A second Apple Cinema Display? Or some other recommendation? And would I need a Blackmagic or AJA card to properly monitor?
    Any recommendations/brands/costs would be appreciated.
    The bulk of the footage I edit with is shot in XDCAM-EX format (EX3).
    I currently run a Dual 2.3 PPC G5, but will be upgrading shortly to a Dual 2.8 Quad Core.
    Thanks.

    You want us to do all of the research and cost breakdown for you? Uh...no.
    But I will recommend a low cost alternative. Matrox MXO and Apple Cinema Display (which Apple as discontinued).

  • ThinkVantage Active Protection for Windows XP, Vista, and 7 missing from driver matrix

    Recently, while checking the Software link: http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/documents/ht037696
    I noticed:

    09 Mar 2014
    v1.79.0.3
    If you try to follow the links to the ThinkVantage Active Protection System, you are presented with a document labeled: ThinkVantage Active Protection System for Windows 8 (32-bit) - Laptop or a document labeled: ThinkVantage Active Protection System for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) – Notebook
    No reference to Windows XP, VISTA or Windows 7 in the current version of the documents, yet the text file pointed to by the download links states that this driver still supports all the older ThinkPads and is applicable to Windows 7 and VISTA. The text file does say that Windows XP support has been withdrawn with this release, and that XP users should use the previous version. It does not, however, provide a link to any document or mechanism where an XP user can obtain the previous driver.
    So, is the document correct, or is the text file correct?
    Where is the current driver for VISTA and Windows 7?
    When I went to the support sites to see the supporting documents there, I discovered that the ThinkVantage Active Protection entries were gone from the R61, R500 and T500 driver matrices. The only reference I could find to the ThinkVantage Active Protection System was in the above mentioned SOFTWARE link.

    ThinkPad R500 2714-CTO P8600 2.40 Ghz 3GB RAM Win XP; Two ThinkPad R500's 2714-CTO T9600 2.80 Ghz 4GB RAM Win 7

    ThinkCenter A63 5237-CTO 3GB Ram Win XP; A21m and a pair of 380XD's

    Still no change to the driver matrices.  ThinkVantage Active Protection is still missing. There has been a change in the web site, as follows:

    So now there are numerous separate entries, but none of them claim to support any 'legacy' machines. Most of the above entries point to the same driver (at present).  The puzzling aspect to all this is that if you read the text documents that accompany most of the above driver packages, you will note that the text document claims that the driver supports quite a number of legacy machines. That information just never made it to the web page.
    So do I manually update a driver because the text document says it is applicable to my legacy R500, or 'believe' the web page which states that only some current models are supported, but not the R500, T500 or R61.   
    Very inconsistant and highly unprofessional.

  • Second HDD and HDAPM

    Hi all. Help me please to solve the problem with HDAPM. Mac mini late 2011.
    The first upgrade - replacing the hard drive. I`m installed WD 750Gb, 7200 rpm and HDAPM (http://mckinlay.net.nz/hdapm/)
    utility has been installed. Everything was working correctly - the hard drive heads are not parked in idle time. No "marble drop" sound.
    I was happy until the next upgrade.
    The second upgrade - add second hdd WD 1Tb 5400 rpm. Now WD 750Gb is work place and WD 1Tb is store place.
    But, hdapm utility working only with one HDD.
    Question:
    How to correct edit hdapm.plist to work when system start for two internal HDD, and HDAPM do two drives for maximum apm performance?
    Sory, but I do not know very well the syntax of XML.

    Hi
    You should be able to do it with a second plist-file.
