Please advice about fast reading/writing

Hi All,
I am building a custom system for Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4, I know this is not a PS forum but I think the hardware experts are here.
The components I have already selected are:
i7-3930k
ASUS P9X79 PRO
64GB RAM (GSKILL)
WD Caviar Black 1TB
Since I have enough RAM the scratch disk is not something to worry about, after reading this article about SSDs for PS:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html#main_Solid _state_disks
I think a SSD is useful only when starting the applications (having them in the SSD), which is not important for me (I do it twice or three times per day). What I would like to do (and is the matter of this post) is to open and save my large pictures (700MB to 1+ GB) as kickly as posibble, is the Caviar Black a good choice or should I consider a SSD? What about a WD velociraptor? Also, I would appreciate advice about other options.
The last custom build I did was probably 8 years ago so I am not up to date with the hardware technology, I have learned a lot reading this great forum :-).
Thank you,
William Gonzales

William,
I use Photoshop CS5 and Bridge a lot and care particularly about how fast the PC can read since this dramatically impacts how fast you can process and rank lots of shots.
Bottom line...
Suggest in addition to whatever your boot drive is you configure a 2xRAID 0 7200rpm drive setup for your data. You have an extremely capable CPU and lots of RAM, so your disk speed is definitely a bottleneck.
Another alternative, although more expensive and quite a bit smaller would be one of the latest, fastest SSDs that can finally deliver on the write side. (i.e. Samsung 840 Pro and its competitors). This would be a secondary drive to whatever you have for your boot drive.
Another suggestion, is make sure you have a video card with good 2D speed. That is get one that can move lots of data; this spec. (Memory Bandwidth, often in GB/sec) is often buried since gaming and 3D features (cores, shading, memory size, etc.) are most important for most users. My video card, a GTX 480 has a memory bandwidth of 177.4 GB/sec, but probably any card with at least 80 GB/sec will probably work very well with your apps.

Jim

  • Please advice me on reading a large file

    Hi,
    I need and advice on reading a large file using JSP. I need to read a text file which contains around 2 millions records (lines). Also some times I need to find a specific line from that.
    I have to make a small web application to generate reports on the Text files after parsing those into a database (Oracle or MySQL). I have already a small similar application which based on PHP / MySQL. But still time consumption issue is there while parsing the text file into Database.
    How will it be improve if I go for Tomcat / Oracle / Java Web Component Development?
    Please advice me.
    Thanks

    Try changing your approach - don't read it into an array, process it one line at a time. Obviously any approach where you have the whole file in memory is going to exceed memory at some size of the file.

  • Please advice about my fingerprint

    Hi every one
    please help me 
    i installed new windows xp pro SP2 on my laptop 3000 N100
    before installing the drivers i can find the fingerprinte sensor not installed  then
    i install the driver for it
    it changed to be "AuthenTec Inc AES2501" in the Unversal Serial Bus controllers
    tell now every thing should be okay
    but when i install ThinkVantage ver 5.6.2  it says that no sensor recognized
    is there something missed in my steps  ??
    is there any messing software i didnt install ??
    is there update for the USB ports to make the thinkvantage software able to sense my fingerprint sensor ??
    please any one face this problem before to advice me ASAP really i'm in trouble
    thanks

    mohammedabdou,
    The ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software will not function with your 3000 N100 notebook system. It will work only with the following hardware (as listed in the supported hardware section):
    ThinkPad systems with integrated fingerprint reader
    Lenovo USB fingerprint keyboard
    Lenovo USB fingerprint reader (part number 73P4774)
    It looks like you already installed the correct drivers, under Windows XP you would need 61fp02ww.exe. These drivers, however, only give you part of what you need. You also need to have software installed that will make use of the fingerprint sensor. Your system came with Softex OmniPass software as part of the preloaded software. If you have removed the preloaded operating system and software, you will need to restore the original preload using Recovery CDs or purchase software similar to Softex OmniPass Client Edition.
    We hope this helps.

  • Please advice about table partitioning

    Hi.
    I need some advice on table partitioning. Here is the problem : My application procesess 7 types of documents (all like invoices). I have created master/detail tables for each type of document. But the are no big difrences between documents, so I was planing to move all of this document types to one master and one detail table and use table partitioning based od document type. This would to simplifay my programming very much... but I am not sure how will this effect on application performance ??? We process a large number of documents (over 300 a day).
    So what do you think ?

    1) If you are using the standard edition, partitioning is not an option. Partitioning is an extra-cost licensing option that is only available to enterprise edition customers.
    2) I am having a bit of difficulty reconciling the numbers you are providing with your descriptions. An application that inserts 5 MB of data a day and adds fewer than 2 million rows per year is a pretty small database, particularly to consider partitioning for. 50 active users doesn't seem terribly large. It is far from obvious to me that separate schemas by year provides any sort of benefit overall. OLTP operations should be able to use appropriate indexes to avoid all the read-only data. And a single schema with a single set of tables minimizes the number of hard parses you have to do, the number of queries that have to be rewritten every year to go after new schemas of data, etc

    Are you saying that Adobe Reader or Preview can't read PDF file that you download? Or, are you saying that you can't display PDF files in your Safari broweer? If the latter, then delete any AdobePDFViewer plugins you find in /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and restart. That should allow Safari to display PDFs in its window. BTW, that's the worst place to view them. Better to download them and use Adobe Reader or Preview.

  • Advice about switching to the mba

    Only recently moved from windows to a mac and I'm ready to go MBA already!
    I need some advice about the new MBA though please... Usually I look for reviews, youtube vids etc but can't find anything about the new MBA.
    I read stories about problems with the old MBA and wanted to hear from people that have the new version.
    I'm particularly worried about the stories of overheating and non-stop fan noises, taking ages to reboot etc (have these been rectified with the new MBA?).
    I currently have the 2ghz and it's pretty fast, love how quickly it switches on and off and I'd hate to loose that.
    Also, the MBA would become my main laptop as I couldn't possibly afford to keep both! Obviously I realise the MBA is not as powerful as the MacBook or the Pro but I'm not a heavy user, only mail, internet, youtube, itunes, ical, Office for Mac, some basic photo editing and rarely some light video editing.
    I would really appreciate any insight from current new MBA users, I know things are quite subjective (ie: I think my MacBook overheats very quickly but maybe to others this would be the norm) so I wouldn't bite your head off!
    sorry if this is the wrong place to post this... I couldn't find a more relevant category.

    I bought the 2nd generation MBA (released last November). I purposely held off on buying the first generation because of the complaints about the overheating etc. I follow a lot of Mac forums and can tell you that any problems you heard about have been resolved.
    There are always a few people that have issues with their machine - not matter what generation it is - but I would recommend the new versions to anybody that wants one.
    Fan noise is very subjective. I use my MBA a for Audio Recording and production - so my fan comes on pretty fast on mine - as the software I use maxes out the processor right from the start. And here is the best way I can sum it up:
    If I take the MBA with fan on into a dead quiet room - yes - I can hear the fan - and to me it sounds like blowing air out of your mouth to cool down hot food....
    If I take that MBA with the fan on into the kitchen where the fridge is running - I cannot hear the MBA anymore. Or if the dishwasher is on, or the clothes dryer etc.....
    I can only hear it is a dead quiet recording room. Subjective as it may be - it's perfectly acceptable to me.
    I have almost never had to restart my MBA - usually only when a software update requires it - I just sleep my machine. OSX is rock solid. my MBA takes 27 seconds to load - every time. If i do need to shut down - it takes like 2 or 3 seconds.
    I paid top dollar for mine when it was released and even though I could get it for $1000 cheaper now - I don't regret the money I spent. The solid MBA build and solid OSX are worth a lot to me.
    If there's any more questions just post them and I'd be happy to answer.

  • Advice about using the laptop with closed lid while connected to external display

    Hello all HP forum members!
    I have an ENVY 17 with Win8.1 64bit, a great laptop, but I need an advice about using it while connected via HDMI cable to an external display (TV).
    When I play heavy 3D games, the computer produces more heat than usual (of course this is normal), but doing so with closed lid, could this harm the  display in some way, as a result of the heat?
    Thanks!

    Hi @VVel ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 17 Notebook and issue with keeping the Notebook on while closing the lid. Here is a document on changing the Power option.
    Control Panel - Power Options - upper left - Choose what closing the lid does.
    Change Plan Settings and also check Advanced Settings. Make sure you do this for both battery and power.
    Hope this helps.

  • Containers in practice � please advice

    Hello forum users,
    I am finishing computer science studies this year and I need to create thesis. I�m interested in Solaris containers and would like to describe this technology. I want to create a project that uses containers to do �something useful� and provide some functionality, not only shows how to create zones and assign resources.
    I have an Ultra 10 with Ultra Sparc IIi 300MHz CPU , 512 MB RAM and 20 GB HDD available. Does someone have any idea how to show practical use of containers on such machine?
    Other solution I think about is just to design containers without implementation, so I would not need any hardware. But Unfortunately I do not have administration experience to decide about resource allocation.
    Could you please advice if you have any ideas about using containers on Ultra 10, or if you can provide any suggestions for using Containers in practice.
    Many thanks,
    Adam

    Ah, the joys of a senior thesis...
    First, I hope you have a faculty adviser who's on-board with your plan -- it will make things must easier and they can provide a lot of guidance about how to proceed and what to work on.
    As for zones, I would probably look at doing a work that is mostly theoretical (though you'll need to do some real world work to get enough experience to be able to write this with any sort of authority). I'd aim for a piece on where zones came from (eg. BSD chroot jails with a smattering of java sand boxes and VM's in general) and what they gained and what they lost in that process (maybe even a bit on how much of the OS they had to touch/modify to support it -- eg. the scope of work). If you've got any contacts who can introduce you to any of the key players in zone development (again, where your faculty adviser comes in handy) you might include some interview material, but I'd wait till you understand the technology very well before you go that route so you can ask good, meaningful questions.
    If you want something more "down to earth" (if zones can ever be described that way...) then I'd probably pick a common task that computers do (web/application serving, databases, etc. -- whatever you might have some background in already) then describe your implementation of that in a zone, what challenges it presented, limitations and advantages it has. For example: we're very interested in the possibility of giving DBA's root access to their own zone (probably just in development) so they can take care of day-to-day root.sh runs on Oracle and such but we know there's going to be lots work in management of resources that will fall to the admin group which makes us less excited...
    Best of luck!

    The battery will run UP TO 7 hours.
    The run time depends on what you are doing.
    Anything that puts a heavy load on the CPU will reduce the run time.
    There is a fixed amount of energy in a charged battery.
    The faster you take energy out the shorter the run time will be.
    Turn off bluetooth.
    Reduce backlight to as low as is comfortable for you.  I use level 5.
    Watching video uses a lot of energy.

  • How can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?

    Hi,
    I would like to know as to how can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?
    Kindly advice.
    Thanks
    Priya

    Special > Hypertext > Command "open document" will do its best to open the target document inside FrameMaker, which may not be much help; Special > Hypertext > Command "message …" will use the application you specify. The user guide for 7.0 says this about absolute links, and I don't think anything has changed since:
    For example, to start PaintBrush and open the Ship.pcx file on drive C you would use the command message system pbrush.exe C:/Ship.pcx
    I've not often used a relative link, and not recently: the same source says
    folder levels are separated by a slash / even in Windows and Mac
    [relative links] FrameMaker searches for a relative pathname beginning in the folder that contains the current document
    [absolute links] FrameMaker searches for an absolute pathname beginning at the top of the file system. In Windows, the absolute pathname begins with the drive specifier, a colon and a slash.

  • Need advice about text formatting and hyperlinking

    Hi folks,
    Thanks for reading my post. I am new at this and am using

    substantial directory on our site and were wondering if there was
    any way for us to:

    and have the software automatically recognize the link and point to
    the site; and
    2. Find the most efficient way to highlight a string of text

    Please run as fast as you can to the Adobe downloads page and

    I'm not quite sure what you are asking here. As already
    suggested, it
    sounds like you need to have your link information in a
    database, which is
    then placed on the page but maybe not.
    And 'highlight' a string of text quickly? Sorry - I don't
    understand what
    you are looking for....

  • Need advice about best characterset for XMLDB

    Hi,
    Oracle 9.2.0.5 Windows 2000
    Please, give me an advice about best character set
    configuration for XML DB.
    During installation Oracle istallator suggests
    charset =AL32UTF8 for multilingual data and ncharset=
    AL16UTF16.
    Is it good settings for database, which will be
    used for usual multilingual data and XML DB ?
    Thanks,

    Yes, we strongly recommend the use of AL32UTF8 for XML DB.

  • I need advice about being part of the Twitter Army of Awesome Help

    I am grateful for the fact of Mozilla and I use Twitter a lot.
    Although I am not technically competent, I do have experience of using Mozilla and Thunderbird for quite some years and am willing to share my experience.
    I obviously do not want to make matters worse for questioners and need some advice about how to begin.
    Is there a Forum where Folk such as me can share experiences of answering Tweets and also just be given examples how the system works, please, or might it be better for me to resign before I start rather than cause complications for anyone?

    Thanks - I hope to have a check there, when I have more time, meanwhile I see that separately I have been sent an email asking for my experience etc.. -
    I plan to attend to that when I am less pressed for time, it may not be for some while though - my spirit is willing but resources few, but if I just learn to do some small things it spreads the load - and I guess I have made a very small start - I have wondered about it for years but that Awesome Tweet was the prompt that got me this far!

  • Advice about design required

    Hello all,
    I am new with OA Framework development. I have read the Oracle tutorials, but I still have many questions about a best way to design the application. For example we have a fully customized module, kind of Mini MRP, which recommends purchase or sale back stocks of items between 10 different inventory organizations.
    Each item has attributes which affect the stock level and reorder point, some of attributes defined on master organization level and others on specific inventory organization level. In addition the are table which contains on hand of item in each organization (mtl_onhand_qty) and table which contains history of usages of the item in each organization. Also item can have previous versions and planning done for whole family ( the item and all it's previous versions)
    Now what I need to develop is a screen: user enters an item - and in left frame displayed the tree of family of item, in other frame there is a table of all 10 organizations when the columns are stock of the item in each org, usage of the item in each org,ROP etc.
    My question is : how to design entity objects for application like this?
    Should I create entity object for Item and another object for item in organization and another one stock of item in organization and for usage etc and to base view objects on those EO, or alternatively another approach - to create one huge view which will contain all the relevant data about the item in organzation ( stock,usage, attributes etc) and to base my EO and VO on this view? Please advice which approach is prefferable....
    Sorry for long post :-)
    Any help appreciated.
    Thank you

    I fully agree with what Tapash said, in case of external joins if EOs, even the code given in dev guide does not work....(Tapash correct me if I m wrong...! i remembered struggling with that code.... long time back, I m not sure of they have corrected it in 12i dev guide.) .
    But the logic has to be understood that framework understand it to be a update operation instead of insert opeartion ..for the table which does not have the joining key record and joined with external join.
    So this concept has to be implemented accordingly. I had scenarios where the query has to had external joins of EOs... so i made VOs based on sinle EOs and joined through VLs instead of going with external join of EOs in VO query, that worked fine.
