Seagate Barracuda ES.2 and 7200.11 drives - what's the difference?

I use my Mac Pro for music and so I currently have three 500Gb HDs installed, one for the OS and apps, one for samples and one which I record audio on to.
I want to install a 1TB drive into the remaining bay for backing up the samples and audio drives, but I don't know what is the difference between the 7200.11 and ES.2 Seagate drives - apart from about £70GBP, that is!
Please can anybody explain what the difference is and which is best for installation into a Mac Pro. I'm running OS 10.5.2
Many thanks.

ES for enterprise server. Supposedly longer mean time between failures (more robust). I faced the same choice and after reading some tests that showed the ES version of the 1000Gb drive to be slower than the 7200.11 version, I bought two of the 7200.11s. Right or wrong about the speed difference, I am happy with 'em.
As easy to install the drives into your Mac Pro as installing software (Seagate or other drives).

  • IPhoto Managed Library and Referenced Library. What is the difference?

    In a reply regarding iphoto TD mentions managed library and referenced library. What is the difference and how do you set them up?

    A Managed Library is the default setting, photos are copied into the iPhoto Library on import. In this scenario, iPhoto is responsible for the file management.
    A Referenced Library means that iPhoto does not touch the files when you import them. They remain where they were and iPhoto References them in their location.
    Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
    1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    *For working with an External Editor*
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Lots of folks are attracted to the idea of a Referenced Library - well I can see my files! But, frankly, unless you're an experienced Mac user I would stay well away. Not infrequently we see folks here complaining that iPhoto has "lost their photos" when what has happened is that they have imported from the Camera Card in Referenced Mode, then erased the card. Even more common, any change in the path the the file - renaming a disk, folder or file - for instance when migrating to a new machine, when trying to make space on the start up disk by moving files off the an external - also causes big problems.
    If you really, really want to run a Referenced Library check out Aperture. It has tools that are much stonger in the area - like migrating tools and reconnecting tools.

  • FB4: New package and new folder. What's the difference?

    Hi,
    What's the difference between creating a new package and creating a new folder?
    Both options seem the same to me.

    Here is my understanding of it. Packages are for structured code repositories (ie. com.mysite.utils) and folders are for assets. I don't think the IDE really cares what you put in them but Packages are (to me) simply 'helpers'.

  • What are the differences between SunFire 880 and v880?

    What are the differences between SunFire 880 and SunFire V880?
    Did a search for "SunFire 880" and found links to the V880 but nothing for the one without the V:
    http://www.sun.com/servers/midrange/v880/

    There are four machines in the server room, two rather old and not in service right now, the other two are relatively new and are now in service.
    The print on one new and one old machine is "*SunFire 880*" and
    the print on the other two (one new and one old) is "*SunFire V880*".
    No, it's not that the paint is chipped or any such thing and there is no space for a "*V*" in the print.
    btw, of the two that are in service, both have the same OBP version, if it matters.
    Hence it appears that Sun indeed sold machines with V and without V.
    So, what are the differences?

    Hi LarryMeikle
    The biggest difference between Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC is that Photoshop CC is subscription-based--you have to subscribe to Adobe's Creative Cloud service to use it.  Also, Photoshop CC includes new features that were not in Photoshop CS6.
    Let us know if that helps.
    Thanks!

  • What is the difference between /assets/account/import and /data/account ?

    Does anybody knows what is the use of /assets/account/import and /data/account.
    What is the difference between these two and their functional use.
    thanks

    /assets/account/import is used in the context of performing account file uploads through the E10 UI. If you navigate to Contacts > Accounts > and click Upload in the top right corner (above search), you'll get the upload wizard:
    The moment you click the cloud icon and select a file, two actions take place:
    1) POST to /assets/account/import is made, where you are passing the name, import source and purpose of the import. The response includes the id of the new import object you created
    2) Another POST to /assets/account/import/{id}/csv is made, which includes the data in your chosen file
    Afterwards, you perform the mappings and go to step 4 of the wizard. When you click Finish, another two actions take place:
    1) PUT /assets/account/import/{id} to update the import definition with your mappings from Step 3
    2) POST to /assets/account/import/{id}/queue to send this import into the import/upload queue. At this point it becomes visible from Setup > Integration > Inbound > Reporting > Upload History
    Note that this workflow is not meant for client use, but rather helps facilitate UI functionality for marketing users. You should be using Bulk API to add or update records, which also confers other advantages such as the ability to use syncActions. The only functionality not available in Bulk API which is available through this workflow is the ability to delete Accounts. For obvious reasons, its recommend that you do NOT automate the deletion of any records. Accounts especially are not subject to any band limits or rates, so its best to have Marketers remove them as needed.
    Regarding the second part of your question, the /data/accounts endpoint will provide you with up to 1000 account records when using GET. A POST can also be made to create a new account record (company) within Eloqua. Otherwise, GET /data/account/{id} will retrieve the details of a particular record and PUT /data/account{id} will update a particular.
    Best regards,
    Bojan

  • What's the difference between "junk" and "trash?"

    In Mail, in the Mailboxes pane, there are both "junk" and "trash" mailboxes.
    What is the difference between these? I thought they were both synonyms for the same thing.
    In addition, I don't see a "spam" mailbox in Mail. Is that different from "junk" and "trash"?
    This is important, because when I sign up for a forum, it will tell me I must check for a confirmation message, and if I don't see it, I must check my "spam," "junk" or "trash" folder.
    Which folder am I supposed to check?
    I don't see the confirmation in either "junk" or "trash," so does that mean it's in the missing "spam" folder???

  • My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked?

    My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, I call apple support and they told me to bring it in but the nearest store is about two hours away. They said I need it to erase my hard drive but I have too many family pics on it.
    would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked on it? I could replace the internal and get an enclosure for the original until I get the pics out of it?
    Please advise, it's like five years of family pics I don't wanna loose them and I am worried.
    Thanks

    A Brody,
    I really apprecate your very quick respond, Its too late to back up as of now, my hard drive wont load at all so I cannot follow your instruction to back it up. Learn a hard lesson but I will from now on following your link.
    Also my hard drive it is not available to do the free exchange program.
    I read the OWC instruction on how to replace the drive I was just wondering if the 2TB would work on it instead of the 1 TB they offer, I specifically asked for the Seage Barracuda because I had great experiences with it on PCs.
    Again, Thank you

  • What is the difference between a Serial ATA 3 TB Drive and 3 TB Fusion Drive

    What is the difference between a Serial ATA @ 7200 rpm 3 TB Drive and 3 TB Fusion Drive

    A Fusion Drive is a proprietary combination of a hard drive and a solid state drive (SSD) engineered to dynamically move data you use most onto the fast SSD - so it's a lot faster than the equivalent hard drive, but much cheaper than a pure SSD storage solution would be.
