SSD Optibay HDD, where to put your data
Hi all,
I have finally got around to getting a SSD in my Macbook Pro, i got a 240GB OWC and its working well (a few sleep issues) but my question comes from date storage.
When i installed OSX i migrated just my settings and applications over with the idea of saving space on my SSD so i kept my music, documents and movies on my SSD.
Once i had installed OS i changed the location of my User link.
The only downside i have seen is a hit to my battery life and it will be down to having 2 Drives running all the time.
Has anyone installed a SSD and HDD in a different way that would help, i thought i could have the HDD only mounted when using it but im not too sure this would save any power.
Any help would be great.

Ref how to partition/organise your data, a couple of my blogs here may help:
http://www.markc.me.uk/MarkC/Blog/Entries/2011/3/24OSX%2C_OptiBay_%26_DrivePartitioning.html
Also, I turn off Safe Sleep - seems to avoid the hangs a lot of people are seeing on trying to wake. You can see how to do that here:

Hope that helps.
Great help, thats exactly what i was looking for.
Had a few questions.
• i just cant work out is deleting the "Music, movies and pictures" folders in the SSD user folder or redirecting them to the HDD.
• Also how do your redirected folders work if you unmount the HDD drive?
I have also read about having itunes and aperture cache and info on the SSD but the content on the HDD, speeds up the application but keep the big data off the SSD.

Good idea? . . . Moving the Apple Mail folder to your data volume
Read the below quote from Mac Performance Guide. Is it a good idea? I know a bit of DOS, so I am used to command line commands but even after after Lloyd Chambers explanation, still not sure what is going to happen?
ln -s /Volumes/Master/Mail Library/Mail
The reason I want to move my Mail folder out of the home directory is because I plan to have a SSD as my boot drive and the home directory is on the boot drive, correct?
"Moving the Apple Mail folder to your data volume
This trick lets you move your Mail folder out of your home directory onto your data volume. I’ve used this technique for years so that I can forget about having to back up my home directory (default location for Apple Mail) and simply back up my one data volume: Master. The same trick can be used for any similarly irritating program that insists on storing its data in your home directory, rather than giving you a choice (a few programs are too brain-dead for this to work). Programs like iTunes let you choose where to put your music; use that option.
Your Apple Mail folder is in the Library folder of your home directory.
The trick requires starting Terminal. If that makes you uncomfortable, stop here! You are going to make a symbolic link.
0. Quit Apple Mail, and make a backup of your mail folder.
1. Copy the Mail folder to the top level of your data drive (or elsewhere, then modify step 3 appropriately).
2. Rename the original mail folder to Mail.old as an additional backup.
3. Start a Terminal window and type:
ln -s /Volumes/Master/Mail Library/Mail
This makes a symbolic link to the folder Mail on the volume Master (type the name of your volume, and use quotes around it if the volume name contains a space character). The resulting file Library/Mail is a tiny file that says “look over there on /Volumes/Master/Mail instead”.
From here on out Apple Mail won’t know the difference! Launch Apple Mail and verify that it worked. If you encounter problems, simply copy your backup back into place."I just put the entire /Users/myaccount on another drive.
Unlock Account control panel - advanced options -
/Volumes/volname/Users/myaccount
Move the whole enchilada instead of just mail. Definitely want to get Safari or web browsers cache which does a lot of I/O also. maybe put /Users on 2nd SSD or 10K VelociRaptor. Or just use your 640GB drive for /Users -
Where to put java code - Best Practice
Hello. I am working with the Jdeveloper 11.2.2. I am trying to figure out the best practice for where to put code. After reviewing http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26098_01/web.1112/e16182.pdf it seemed like the application module was the preferred spot (although many of the examples in the pdf are in main methods). After coding a while though, I noticed that there were quite a few libraries imported, and wondered whether this would impact performance.
I reviewed postings on the forum, especially Re: Access service method (client interface) programmatically . This link mentions accessing code from a backing bean -- and the gist of the recommendations seems to be to use the data control to drag it to the JSF, or use the bindings to access code.
My interest lies in where to put java code in the first place; In the View Object, Entity Object, and Am object, backing bean.....other?
I can outline several best guesses about where to put code and the pros and cons:
1. In the application module
Pros: Centralized location for code makes development and support more simple as there are not multiple access points. Much like a data control centralizes services, the application module can act as a conduit for different pieces of code you have in objects in your model.
Cons: Everything in one place means the application module becomes bloated. I am not sure how memory works in java -- if the app module has tons of different libraries are they all called when even a simple query re-execute method is called? Memory hog?
2. Write code in the objects it affects. If you are writing code that accesses a view object, write it in a view object. Then make it visible to the client.
pros: The code is accessed via fewer conduits (for example, I would expect that if you call the application module from a JSF backing bean, then the application module calls the view object, you have three different pieces of code --
conts: The code gets spread out, harder to locate etc.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
Regards,
Stuart

Edited by: Stuart Fleming on May 20, 2012 5:27 AMFirst point here is when you say "where to put the java code" and you're referring to ADF BC, the point is you put "business logic java code" in the ADF Business Components. It's fine of course to have Java code in the ViewController layer that deals with the UI layer. Just don't put business logic in the UI layer, and don't put UI logic in the model layer. In your 2 examples you seem to be considering the ADF BC layer only, so I'll assume you mean business logic java code only.
Meanwhile I'm not keen on the term best practice as people follow best practices without thinking, typically best practices come with conditions and people forget to apply them. Luckily you're not doing that here as you've thought through the pros and cons of each (nice work).
Anyway, back on topic and off my soap box, as for where to put your code, my thoughts:
1) If you only have 1 or 2 methods put it in the AppModuleImpl
2) If you have hundreds of methods, or there's a chance #1 above will morph into #2, split the code up between the AppModuleImpl, ViewImpl and ViewRowImpls. Why? Because your AM will become overloaded with hundreds of methods making it unreadable. Instead put the code where it should logically go. Methods that work on a specific VO row go into the associated ViewRowImpl, methods that work across rows in a VO go into the ViewImpl, and methods that work across VOs in the associated AppModuleImpl.
To be honest which you ever option you choose, one thing I do recommend as a best practice is be consistent and document the standard so your other programmers know.
Btw there isn't an issue about loading lots of libraries/imports into a class, it has no runtime cost. However if your methods require lots of class variables, then yes this will have a memory cost.
On a side note if you're interested in more ideas around how to build ADF apps correctly think about joining the "ADF EMG", a free online forum which discusses ADF architecture, best practices (cough), deployment architectures and more.

Can Numbers put the dates (in a column) in order if I enter out of order
I am a procrastinator and I have lots of receipts to enter. If I enter with the dates out of order is there a way numbers can put in order for me.
Thank youRobin,
When you hover your mouse over the column Label area of an active Table, a disclosure triangle appears. Clicking the triangle gives you a menu of column actions, including Sorting the column, either ascending or descending.
Sorting will put your dates in order. The prerequisite is that the dates you enter must be recognized as Date/Time values, not as Text. If you input your dates in a standard way for you region/language, they will normally be properly recognized. One way to test for this is to Select the Dates column and change the date format in the Cell Inspector. If you can freely change the format, for example from "1/1/15" to "January 1, 2015", the sort will be successful.

Not sure where to place my SSD and HDD. Macbook Pro mid 2010, 2,4GHz intel core 2 duo.
I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo,
10gb of Ram...looking to max it at 16 even though apple says 8gb.
I upgraded to a Travelstar 1tb HDD 7200rpm max 6gb/s and waiting for my data doubler from OWC.
I am also hoping to buy an SSD. But Where should I place the HDD and SSD?
I read a forum saying that since my MBP is 2010, my HDD should stay in the main bay, and the SSD in the optical drive due to gb/s or somthing?
Can anyone clarify?
I thought SSD would be better in the main bay and HDD in the optical.
I am thinking of getting the Samsung pro SSD 120gb? or the 228gb?
Thank youFor best performance place the "system disk" in the internal slot and the second disk in the optical bay. I assume your SSD will be your system disk.

SSD as system disk while users folder + data on HDD
Hey there, I want to install SSD in my Mac Pro and since its only 120GB - use it only for system and Apps. While all my user data (photos, movies, music random files) I want to store on my HDD. Is it possible to do it that way, so the system knows where it should put Apps and where downloaded content and all the other stuff should go?
~/Library is hidden unless you unhide. It HAS to exist where user accounts are.
The link is not what you want, it is hybrid SSD Fusion HDD setup.
I leave ~/Library where it is, right, and don't worry and just link to other hard drive - after playing and trying to move user account to another drive, I swap boot drives a lot and it was easier.
NetInfo and later Accounts control panel and now is it "Users"? but it is easy for anyone to point to another disk drive.

Where to put data processing routine when acquiring data using DAQmx
I have a program that is aquiring data using the DAQmx Acquire N Samples mechanism with automatic reset and a data handler callback routine. DAQmx acquires N samples (usually 1024) from the board, calls the handler to do something with it, and then resets to get the next batch of data. The program acquires a number of lines of data, say 512 lines of N points each, with one callback call per line. Triggering is done by a hardware trigger at the start of each line of data. So far so good.
The issue is that the time that it can spend in the callback is limited, or else the callback is not finished when the next batch of data is ready to be transferd from the DAQmx buffers and processed. There is a substantial amount of analysis to be done after the entire frame has been acquired, and it ends up taking far longer than the time between lines; so where to put the processing? The data acquisition is started from a control callback callback that exits back to the idle loop after it starts the data acquisition process, so there is no code waiting to execute, to return to, when the data acquisition is finished.
I could try to put the data analysis routine into an idle-time routine and trigger it with a semaphore, or I could put it into a timer control callback with, say, a 10 millisecond repetition rate and poll a flag, setting the flag when all of the data has been acquired. Any suggestions would be appreciated.I would recommend using Thread Safe Queues. Your acquisition callback can place items in the TSQ and then you can process the data in a separate thread. TSQs are nice because they allow you to install a callback function to run for certain events. Most importantly, you can install a callback for the Items in Queue or Queue Size Changed event which will run the callback if a certain number of items are in the queue. This lets you take advantage of multithreading in a simple and safe way using a standard Producer/Consumer architecture. However, you may still run into problems with this architecture if your acquisition thread is running much faster than the consumer thread. You could eventually overflow the queue. In that case, your only options are to either get a faster system, slow down the acquisition or do the data handling post process.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Put your photos in more logical structure a way from the documents where they placed.
Using Tree Shade you could rename and move links files as you want. And at any time you can query for all places where a photo is used among all the projects files.
Tree Shade Plugin Fixing Missed Links - YouTubeWerner, but it is still wrong. I guess it should be "Put your photos into a more logical structure, away from the documents where they were placed in".
I'm still guessing the relation between "a logical structure to put photos" and the location of the photos...No idea.
I watched the video and for 5 minutes I was riddling what he does there until - at the end - it finally became clear: it just fixes links of renamed photos.
Well, why rename photos which are already placed? See no purpose. You can always organize photos in folder (logical structure?), even in Bridge, that's what Bridge is for. No need for a plugin. -
Hi
I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro
I am planning to buy a 240gb SSD for boot and application, and use the current HDD for file storage
The HDD will be in the optical drive bay with a caddy, and the SSD will be where the HDD was before.
I was wondering how EXACTLY I would go about doing this, right from the moment I put the hard drives in.
Could you please include step-by-step instructionsInstall the SSD in place of the HDD. Use Internet Recovery to set up the SSD:
Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed SSD (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
Now, you should be able to download Mavericks from your Purchases page in the App Store. Once done with this you use Startup Disk to set the SSD as the default startup drive. Once this is done, then you can install the HDD.
Now, with the HDD installed you can redirect OS X to use the Home folder on your HDD:
How to use an SSD with your HDD
If you are going to use an SSD as a boot drive together with your existing HDD as the "data" drive, here's what you can do.
After installing the SSD you will need to partition and format the SSD using Disk Utility. Then, install OS X on the SSD. After OS X has been installed boot from the SSD. Use Startup Disk preferences to set the SSD as the startup volume.
Open Users & Groups preferences. Click on the lock icon and authenticate. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on your user account listing in the sidebar and select Advanced Options from the context menu. You will see a field labeled "Home dir:" At the right end you will see a Change button. Click on it. In the file dialog locate the Home folder now located on the HDD (HDD/Users/account_name/.) Select the folder, click on Open button. Restart the computer as directed.
When the computer boots up it will now be using the Home folder located on the HDD.
Another more technical method involving the Terminal and aliases is discussed in depth here: Using OS X with an SSD plus HDD setup - Matt Gemmell. This is my preferred approach because I can select which of the Home's folders I want on the HDD and which I don't want. For example, I like to keep the Documents and Library folders on the SSD because I access their content frequently.
Be sure you retain the fully bootable system on your HDD in case you ever need it.
I would not try installing and using applications from the HDD nor making any other changes. There is little to be gained by doing more than is described above. -
SSD + Optibay + bootcamp how to partition ?
Hello,
I just got my 256 SSD and I'm waiting for the MCE Optibay.
I will use my secod disk for storage but I also want to have Win7 in Bootcamp and I'm not sure what is the best way to partition. Here is are the possibilities I thought about:
*Option 1:*
SSD: 2 boot partitions. One for OSX one for Win
HDD: 1 NFS Partitions for Windows storage, 1 HFS partition for OSX storage
good: both OS will have the SSD speed
bad: when I'm in OSX, both disks will be mounted hence more power consumption. Less space on for both OSs.
In this option, would you put your HOME directory on the SSD or on the data HDD ?
*Option 2:*
SSD: 1 boot partitions just for OSX
HDD: 1 boot partitions for Windows
good: I could unmount the HDD when I'm in OSX -> more battery
bad: Win7 will not use the SSD. I will use the entire 500GB for Windows which I anyway don't use that often.
Any advices ?
Thanks,
TexI've never tried redirecting the whole home directory. That would mean redirecting the Library folder too? Personally I'd want that on the SSD as my prime reason for getting the SSD was for application performance.
I wrote about how to redirect individual folders here: http://www.markc.me.uk/MarkC/Blog/Entries/2009/12/15Redirecting_folders_on_AppleOSX.html
Probably wouldn't try that with the whole home dir though given what could happen to the Library folder?
In Sys Prefs, Accounts - right click on your user and select 'Advanced Options'. Your home directory is specified there.
You should make sure a copy of it exists in the target before you change it.
To be clear, I've never tried this - maybe somebody who has could jump in -
SSD and HDD / TimeMachine and CCC
I have a 240GB SSD as my main drive and it had all of my data on it.
Recently I installed the OWC data doubler and put a 500GB HDD in place of the superdrive.
Since then, I copied my "home" folder (under /Users) to the new 500GB HDD.
After this I went into user settings and set the path to the new drive, so new files created will be stored on the HDD instead of the SSD now.
I have yet to delete the DUPLICATE data on the SSD. (in case this method wont work)
My question is about TimeMachine:
Right now I have TWO external drives to back up my data.
Drive 1: 2TB
Partitioned into 1.5TB for TM and the other 500GB for Carbon Copy Cloner.
This drive (1) has been backing up my system since the beginning, Before my "home" folder was moved.
Drive 2: 1TB
Partitioned into two separate 500GB sections.
TM is set up to back up the data on the drive (HDD - which there has been no data to back up as of now)
The other partition is for CCC, which also has not been used yet because there is no data on the HDD (not SSD).
The question is:
Since I moved my "home" folder (or directory, whatever) to the new 500GB HDD, and changed the settings to have all "data" be stored on that drive, will TM back it up as if it were all still on my main SSD?
And if it will NOT back up as a single drive, will the data duplicate in TM? (I dont want to have duplicate backups)
If it will make duplicate backups, would I be able to erase the external drive and start fresh and have it just backup as if it were a single disk? (something I am interested in, especially since I can then encrypt my external drive)
Is it stupid to have 1.5 TB for TM and 500GB for CCC? Should I just partition it into TWO 1TB drives? (Since my 240+500=740GB of space...)
A few more things Im concerned about.
My second external drive has time machine on it for the data on the HDD, but the "home" directory or folder is now stored on the drive and if TM will back it up as if it were a single drive, then TM on the second external drive becomes pointless. (Correct?)
Now I know that making duplicate backups of data is critical, so I suppose I could just have TM set up for the second drive, but also back up the main drive, as if it were the single drive (so it would back up my SSD and HDD, just like my primary external drive)
A good set up would be go partition the SECOND external drive with a 750GB partition and the rest for a 250GB. Then TM would have enough space to back up both internal drives (just like the primary external) and then the 250 could just be a clone of the SSD (using CCC- and this would be a duplicate clone)
So this leaves me with two TM external backups and then two CCC backups.
Please tell me if I left out any details. I know its a lengthy description!
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.
Greatly appreciated!Hello GNUTup,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are trying to install a new SSD or HDD in your HP Touchsmart 300-1025 Desktop PC.
First, I am going to do is provide you with the HP Support document: HP Touchsmart 300-1025 Desktop PC, which will walk you through the process of replacing the Hard Drive you currently have. If you require the Hard disk drive mounting cage assembly the part number is 575664-001 and can be obtained from The HP Parts Store. I have not seen anything that limits the type of drive you can install, but I have only seen documentation on HDDs. I am also going to provide you with the HP Support document: Partitioning and Naming Hard Drives (Windows 7) as it is relevant to your computer and since you are replacing the Hard Drive is a great opportunity for you to review a document of this type.
Second, as for your CD-ROM I am providing you with the HP Support document: Replacing the CD/DVD Drive in HP TouchSmart 300-1000 Series Desktop PCs, which again will walk you through the process of changing out your CD-ROM. If you require the Optical disk drive mounting cage assembly the part number is 575663-001 and again can be obtained from The HP Parts Store.

Can I make a bootcamp Partition on the HDD on an iMac 21.5" with SSD and HDD
I am planning to buy an iMac 21.5" . I am not sure yet, whether to get one with ssd and hdd pre-installed. But I would like to, cause it's much faster.
In the manual of the boot camp it says that if you have more than one internal hard drive and you wanna put bootcamp on one that isn't the first, you have to remove the other hard drives. That would be hard cause you can't open the iMac easily. And especially not without loosing guarantee.
So my question is. Has anyone installed windows with bootcamp on an hdd partition on an iMac pre-installed with ssd (on which is macos x) and hd(on which I want my windows partition and the Mac files such as photos and videos)? It must be possible without opening the iMac right?
Thanks for your help.27" iMac: Apple's SSDs are still quite slow
Community Search: "iMac SSD"
That article is misleading to an extent and applied to the workstations with 4 internal drives and easy to access - and misleading as to why other drives had to be removed etc.
As for warranty, it use to be a customer upgraded part to swap out hard drives. All that is needed to disconnect the data cable going to the drive. -

Thanks for your replies.
eBay is going through their required steps.
It will take a week or better to get my refund.

Shopping for another "Mac Pro Late 2013" or I might settle for my "Mac Mini 2012 i7 16 Gig 256 SSD Intel 4000" refurb with warranty bought from Apple that I already have on hand.
Thank You
I don't know how this ended upon two threads.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with my 2012 Mac Mini i7 16 gig 256 SSD and Lacie Little Big Thunderbolt 1 512 SSD
That will be pretty punchy for me.
I'll only have about $1,000 in the computer itself with a three year Apple Care Warranty.
It should sell for $500 a year from now if I choose too.
I think it's going to work great.
I'm going to load it up with all of the software just like I was going to do on the Mac Pro.
It's good for three computers in the future so no money lost on the software
I'll probably just keep the Mini indefinitely for a backup even after I upgrade to the newer 2015 Mac Pro later next year.
Thanks
