Reads and Write Speed
Hello guys
I have a question. I bought the Refurnished Mac Book Pro Retina 13.3 inch(Mid 2014) basic model(8GB memory, 2.6GHz CPU, 128GB SSD)
And Since I did buy from the refurnished, I am pretty suspicious about the performace. So I used the benchmark test and Read and Write speed test(Black magic speed test). Benchmark test was about average to most of the same Macbook pro users, but the read and write speed was pretty slower than any other. It was about 220 MB/S for Write and 560MB/S for Read. It that means something wrong with my Macbook?
Thank you very much for your reading all of this
Hi Ralphael,
I was thinking of buying the WD MyCloud box and your words of wisedom inspired me to take a risk, getting one of these for myself. It's always a gamble buying new technology bits and hoping it will do, what you expect it to do.
First thing I did was connect the WD MyCloud to my network (entrirely 1 Gb network capable ports - including router).I updated the firmware to the latest via the network connection, which was reasonably quick to update.
Everything worked perfectly, straight from go, the 3 Tb of data I had on my former Seagate GoFlex (manually connected to a SATA port on my P.C) only took a few hours to completely copy across. I tried transferring the wholelot across via the Seagate GoFlex 100mB/s ethernet port, but that was horrendously slow.
I loved the way I could get access to this device, via the internet, (wd2go.com) to the files stored on my WD MyCloud (at home). It indeed acted as a "Cloud" device for me as I could map the connection to a network drive on my P.C and then
copy files across to my P.C (wherever I am) - Just drag and drop from explorer and it's pretty quick to transfer across as well.
I just wanted to say this box is fanatastic and I am very happy with it. I know there have been a few critics out therewho haven't had good things to say, but I think they need to make sure everything fits the criteria for successful results,
which this device is well capable of producing. I had the experience of using a Seagate GoFlex device and that took a while before I got things working reasonably
well for me. It's good to have a device that now well exceeds the capability of this former device.
Very happy with this WD MyCloud and my experiences with it.
Added Kudos for your article.
Cheers
Patrick

Read and write speeds of PCI-E SSD 256GB
What are the read and write speeds exceeded with a 2014 Mac Mini with the 256GB PCI-E SSD from Apple? Thanks.
PS: I was thinking about getting the 2014 Mac Mini with these specs at $899.99:
2.6GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz)
8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM
256GB PCIe-based Flash Storage

Hi everyone,
I just installed a Crucial MX10512 GB SSD into my 2009 Macbook Pro. It's definitely much faster, but the read and write disk speed is around 200 Mb/s for both versus the 300-500 Mb/s that the SSD advertised. Any ideas as to why? And is there anything I can do to make it faster? Before I installed it, it was between 80-90 Mb/s.
Specs:
- currently have about 460 of 511 GB of storage available
- am using 2GB of memory
- running on 10.10.2 Yosemite
Thanks!nataliemint wrote:
Drew, forgive me for being so computer-incompetent but how would I boot from another OS? And shouldn't I be checking the read speeds on my current OS (Yosemite) anyways because I want to know how the SSD is performing on the OS I use? And finally, what kind of resources would it be using that would be slowing down my SSD?
Sorry for all the questions - I'm not a Macbook wiz by any means!
You could make a clone of your internal OS onto an external disk. Hopefully you already have a backup of some form
A clone is a full copy, so you can boot from it. It makes a good backup as well as being useful to test things like this.
Carbon Copy Cloner will make one or you can use Disk Utility to 'restore' your OS from the internal disk to an external one.
Ideally the external disk is a fast disk with a fast 'interface' like Thunderbolt, Firewire 800 or USB3. USB2 can work, but it is slow & may effect the test.
You connect the clone, hold alt at startup & select the external disk in the 'boot manager'. When the Mac is finished booting run the speed tester.
Maybe this one…
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/blackmagic-disk-speed-test/id425264550
Test the internal & compare to the previous tests
A running OS will do the following on it's boot disk…
Write/ read cache files from running apps
Write/ read memory to disk if memory is running low
Index new files if content is changing or being updated
Copy files for backing up (Time Machine or any other scheduled tasks)
Networking can also trigger read/ write on the disk too.
You may not have much activity that effects a disk speed test, but you can't really be sure unless that disk is not being used for other tasks.
Disk testing is an art & science in itself, see this if you want to get an idea …

Simply knowing that it's about twice the speed would be enough to cheer me up -
Can you improve the speed of my CSV Reader and Writer?
hi all, i'm trying to develop a CSV Writer and Reader. i have done a good work to implement the special character and quoting it, it's also support multi line value but it's incredibly slow.

return;the format is CSV, i try to explain better what i'm doing.
our client asked to save acquisition data with header description in an excel readable format, i've decided to use .CSV and not .TDM because it's a simple txt file and we never used .TMD but i will propose to use it.
after some research on the internet i've found nothing to handle .CSV in CVI except from this csv_parse but i've found it difficult to be maintained so i've write it by my own hand.
i've written two example of how to use my function to read or write and i've copyed my function used to read and write.
in the write function i check with FindPattern if the string to be write contain some special character, if i find this i have to quote the string to respect the standard RFC4180 and if i find a quote i have to double it. aftere i've done this check i write the line in the file.
in the read function, that is more complicated, i:
check if the first character is a quote.
if it's not i copy the string until the delimitier or until the end of the line.
if it is i have a string with special character inside so:
i find the first quote in the string. when i've found i check if it's follwed by another quote. this means that in the starting message i was writing a single quote.
if it's not followed by another quote but it's followed by a delimiter or a carriage return i've finished the special line.
if i don't find it it means that the special quote have a carriage return inside and i have to check the next line. before checking the next line i save this in my string.
after this loop i check in every string if i have a double quote and i delete one.
the main problem is in the speed of this, i'm acquiring data at 1000 S/s with 8 active channel for 60 second so i have 480000 data to be stored, divided in 60.000 row and 8 column. to read a file like that my pc stay "locked" for 15 second or more.
i've tried to use the arraytofile function and it's extremly fast and i can also put header because the function can start from the last position in the file but the filetoarray function start from the beginning and i cannot read the header correctly. also if i'm using the european CSV with semicolon as delimiter with arraytofile i cannot select the semicolon but only the coma -
(MHDDK) How to realize the synchronization of read and write for long time by cart PCI6025E
I've finished the programming of the process read and write for the PCI6025E, I can read and write the data now, I wanna synchronize both of the processes, writing the data into the card just after the reading from the card, and check the wave in the oscilloscope. when I use the SEC , it works, but when I changed to MSEC, the wave only come out for a few seconds, even if I bloc 60sec, and also the wave is not steady. why?
so now the problem is how could I write the data immediately which just read and it's for a long time I asked?
Thanks in advance!Hi Jack,
aiex4.cpp doesn't exist, as far as I can tell. I believe that while the examples were being named, the developer mis-numbered them and just skipped 4 :-S
At any rate, if you already have AI and AO working separately, and you have the I/O performance you application requires, then you may not need to add DMA to your driver. However, if you want to add DMA, it won't be very difficult. In essence, you would need mix code from the S and M Series examples. The S Series example aiex2.cpp shows two things: the few lines of code you need to add DMA objects (lines 70-78), and how to program the STC to use DMA (line 114). And aiex3.cpp from the M Series examples gives a clearer picture of how to control and read the DMA channel.
Thanks, Rolf, for your time and help :-) I'm grateful for your contributions, and I'm glad to see active developers in the DDK forum.

Why is my SSD showing 250mb/s difference between read and write...
So i have recently upgraded to a SSD in my 2011 MBP. 2.4Ghz i5 16Gb RAM. I swapped my HDD with a Samsung 840 Series 250Gb SSD, I noticed a huge speed bump. See attached photos. Read is clocked at 503MB/s peak, and Write is clocked at 260MB/s peak on the SSD. My Question is why is there a 250MB/s difference between read and write?? Using Black Magic Disk Speed test. Mac OS X 10.8.4 Beta.
ThanksWrites are performed very differently on SSD than they do on a hard drive, and it is common for SSDs to have lower write speeds than reads.
It's actually quite interesting if you're a geek: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_amplification
As long as the speeds do match your manufacturer specification for the model (and they do: http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memory-storage/MZ-7TD250BW ) , there is nothing to be concerned about. -
In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes? In the past, I have used Outlook calendar and tasks and I was able to expand the windows which allowed me to put a great amount of details into either the notes section in events and tasks. It would be great to be able to do this in iCal and Notifications as well. I am using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8. Thank you very much for assistance with this.

I have an external hard drive, from Iomega. that I can open and see my files. However, I cannot copy or save any file to it. On my PC I have it says that is possible to read and write in it, but in my Mac, it says I can only read. can somebody help me?
Also, Im a photographer, so I like to name a lot of files at the same time (used to do in on PC and it was very usefull.) cannot find out how to do it on my Mac. Really appretiate if some one can give me a solution! ThanxYour drive is formatted with the NTFS file system. OS X can read but not write to the NTFS file system. There are third party drivers available that claim to add the ability to OS X to write to an NTFS partition. I have not tried them and don't know if they work.
The only file system that OS X and Windows can both write to natively is the FAT32 file system. -

Need help to read and write using UTF-16LE
Hello,
I am in need of yr help.
In my application i am using UTF-16LE to export and import the data when i am doing immediate.
And sometimes i need to do the import in an scheduled formate..i.e the export and imort will happend in the specified time.
But in my application when i am doing scheduled import, they used the URL class to build the URL for that file and copy the data to one temp file to do the event later.
The importing file is in UTF-16LE formate and i need to write the code for that encoding formate.
The problem is when i am doing scheduled import i need to copy the data of the file into one temp place and they doing the import.
When copying the data from one file to the temp i cant use the UTF-16LE encoding into the URL .And if i get the path from the URl and creating the reader and writer its giving the FileNotFound exception.
Here is the excisting code,
protected void copyFile(String rootURL, String fileName) {
URL url = null;
try {
url = new URL(rootURL);
} catch(java.net.MalformedURLException ex) {
if(url != null) {
BufferedWriter out = null;
BufferedReader in = null;
try {
out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(fileName));
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
String line;
do {
line = in.readLine();
if(line != null) {
out.write(line, 0, line.length());
out.newLine();
} while(line != null);
in.close();
out.close();
} catch(Exception ex) {
Here String rootURL is the real file name from where i have to get the data and its UTF-16LE formate.And String fileName is the tem filename and it logical one.
I think i tried to describe the problem.
Plz anyone help me.
Thanks in advance.Hello,
thanks for yr reply...
I did the as per yr words using StreamWriter but the problem is i need a temp file name to create writer to write into that.
but its an logical one and its not in real so if i create Streamwriten in that its through FileNotFound exception.
The only problem is the existing code build using URL and i can change all the lines and its very difficult because its vast amount of data.
Is anyother way to solve this issue?
Once again thanks.. -
How do I read and write at the same time using the NI-CAN channel API?
Here's the situation. I have one CAN bus, and I need to read and write channel data (using the channel API) at the same time both at an interval of 20 ms. It's easy to do one or the other using the channel API, but you can't setup a channel task to do both. It's either input or output, not both. Is this even possible?
Hi,
yes , this is possible. But you have to create two tasks, one for input and one for output. see the attached example for LabVIEW.
If you download and install NI-CAN 2.4 you will get this example and one for C and VB as well.

How do I set an external HD permission to read AND write?
I received an iMac for Christmas and need a little help. I have a 2TB external HD that contains .shn and .flac files of GD concerts (and other music). I managed to find Cog that will play them...but what I want to do is download them and move them upon completion to the external HD. I can not do this because the HD is read only. I can move stuff to a SD card because it is read and write. I assume when I change the permission I will be able to move the folder of a show to the HD as well. Surely this is simple... Thank You and sorry for the dumb question!
Your external hard drive is likely NTFS formatted for use with a PC.
OSX can read but cannot write to NTFS formatted volumes. You can install software that allows writing to a NTFS drive, as Niel has suggested, or you can reformat your external drive using Disk Utility for use with your Mac.
If you decide to reformat your drive for Mac use, copy your data off to another drive before you proceed. -
How to share files in a network and allow read-and-write to a specific computer only?
I have several computers in my network, and I want to share a folder and allow read-and-write from computer A to Computer B only, and omit computer C. How do I do that? Thanks.
Thanks for the suggestion. I like this approach as Java is more familiar to me than other languages.
Our DBA is out of touch today, so I could not grant the javauserpriv to my database user. I tried to run the script anyway in the chance that my user had the privs, and it seemed to have hung. I am now combing Oracle's site for more documentation so I can write some tests to see if I can get a basic Java object working. Under what heading would I find this?

How do I read and write to text files on a remote computer's hard drive
I would like to read and write data to a text file on a remote computer. This is easily accomplished using one of the file functions such as "write characters to file.vi". If I am already connected to the remote computer, all I need to do is specify the path to the particular file and it will work fine.
My problem is that I want to connect to the remote computer programatically within LabVIEW (I do not want to have to use the computer's OS to establish the connection. Is there a function that I can use to do this?

Wells Manufacturing CorpYariv,
You should really start a new thread with a new question like this, so that more people see it. Some people look primarily at threads that have no responses yet. Also, don't post the exact same question in multiple places. Or, if you must cross-post to some other forum, make sure to mention it in your question text.
I'm happy to be a brick in your Western Wall, but I'm not sure what the main objective is here. Is the main problem really getting access to the "X bytes received in Y seconds at Z bytes/sec" string? Or is it accomplishing the file transfer? And what OS and LabVIEW version are you running?
I think your problem is that you the LabVIEW System Exec command does not allow for the degree of interactivity that you need if you want to issue a sequence of commands to a command-line executable. However, under Windows XP (and, presumably, other Windows versions, though I can't check), you can tell the FTP executable to use commands from a textfile script by using the -s switch, and you can override the prompts during multiple file transfers with the -i switch:
ftp -i -s:FILEPATH SERVERNAME
If you issue a command in this format to System Exec, and make sure to create a file at FILEPATH with your command sequence (one per line), then you should at least accomplish the FTP actions. This won't give you the transfer details in the standard output, unfortunately. However, if you just want a general sense of how much was transferred and how quickly it happened, you can code that in LabVIEW by getting the resulting file sizes and using Tick Count before and after the System Exec call to see how long the transfer took.
Hope that helps,
John
