To have great read/write performance, do you have to save all programs onto the SSD or can you save programs onto the HDD?

if I want to use the fast read/write speeds of my SSD, do I have to save the programs (Final Cut Pro X, Adobe After Effects, Microsoft Powerpoint, Steam, Counter-Strike, etc)  onto the SSD? Or can I save all programs onto a 2nd drive which would be a HDD  and still have fast speeds WITHOUT storing those programs onto the SSD? My 2012 mid Macbook Pro has a SSD as its main bootup drive and will be getting a 2tb HDD to replace the optical drive.
Any advice or comments is greatly appreciated,
Thank you!

  • Optimal read write performance for data with duplicate keys

    Hi,
    I am constructing a database that will store data with duplicate keys.
    For each key (a String) there will be multiple data objects, there is no upper limit to the number of data objects, but let's say there could be a million.
    Data objects have a time-stamp (Long) field and a message (String) field.
    At the moment I write these data objects into the database in chronological order, as i receive them, for any given key.
    When I retrieve data for a key, and iterate across the duplicates for any given primary key using a cursor they are fetched in ascending chronological order.
    What I would like to do is start fetching these records in reverse order, say just the last 10 records that were written to the database for a given key, and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions on the optimal way to do this.
    I have considered writing data out in the order that i want to retrieve it, by supplying the database with a custom duplicate comparator. If I were to do this then the query above would return the latest data first, and I would be able to iterate over the most recent inserts quickly. but Is there a performance penalty paid on writing to the database if I do this?
    I have also considered using the time-stamp field as the unique primary key for the primary database instead of the String, and creating a secondary database for the String, this would allow me to index into the data using a cursor join, but I'm not certain it would be any more performant, at least not on writing to the database, since it would result in a very flat b-tree.
    Is there a fundamental choice that I will have to make between write versus read performance? Any suggestions on tackling this much appreciated.
    Many Thanks,
    Joel

    Hi Joel,
    Using a duplicate comparator will slow down Btree access (writes and reads) to
    some degree because the comparator is called a lot during searching. But
    whether this is a problem depends on whether your app is CPU bound and how much
    CPU time your comparator uses. If you can avoid de-serializing the object in
    the comparator, that will help. For example, if you keep the timestamp at the
    beginning of the data and only read the one long timestamp field in your
    comparator, that should be pretty fast.
    Another approach is to store the negation of the timestamp so that records
    are sorted naturally in reverse timestamp order.
    Another approach is to read backwards using a cursor. This takes a couple
    steps:
    1) Find the last duplicate for the primary key you're interested in:
      cursor.getSearchKey(keyOfInterest, ...)
      status = cursor.getNextNoDup(...)
      if (status == SUCCESS) {
          // Found the next primary key, now back up one record.
          status = cursor.getPrev(...)
      } else {
          // This is the last primary key, find the last record.
          status = cursor.getLast(...)
      }2) Scan backwards over the duplicates:
      while (status == SUCCESS) {
          // Process one record
          // Move backwards
          status = cursor.getPrev(...)
      }Finally another approach is to use a two-part primary key: {string,timestamp}.
    Duplicates are not configured because every key is unique. I mention this
    because using duplicates in JE has more overhead than using a unique primary
    key. You can combine this with either of the above approaches -- using a
    comparator, negating the timestamp, or scanning backwards.

  • Sir I have lost my all contact from my iPhone 4s, can we get them back

    Dear Sir,
    I have lost my all contact from my iPhone, Can we get them back. If yes then HOW ?
    and second thing is that my email icon is not being open please help.
    Thanks
    Raghvendra Pandey

    There are two ways to have photos on the iPhone. First is the camera roll, these are the pictures you have taken with the iPhone camera. The second are pictures that are synced to the iPhone through iTunes from the computer you sync with.
    The pictures in the camera roll are designed to by imported to the computer just like photos taken with any digital camera. They are not designed to be only stored on the iPhone.
    If you imported the pictures to the computer or performed a backup of the iPhone prior to the attempt to upgrade software on the phone,all you need to do is restore from a backup. If you did not create a backup, you can look for the last backup you made if the pictures would have been included in that backup. Unfortunately, in that last case, you will also lose everything you have done since that backup.
    If you have been backing up or syncing with iCloud, the pictures should be there.  If you have not done any of the above, the pictures are lost.

  • TS1702 I have an iphone and my 2 children have ipods.  all 3 on the same apple id.  when one of their ipods gets a face time call , all 3 devices ring. i dont want to get these face time calls on my iphone or the other ipod .  what is the solution to this

    You can all have independent AppleIDs for iCloud or iMessage etc, but share the same one for iTunes Store / AppStore purchases.

    Typically this is a problem when the sender creates the file with an extension that you, as the recipient, can not open.    What is the file extension?

  • Do i have to pack all files into the war file/

    Hi,
    suppose a file (say bb.html, for example) within a war has a link to a document outside the war, say c:\aa.doc for example, after deploying the war into the j2ee application server, the linked file cant be found, simply because the file(aa.doc) isn't packed with bb.html. I am wondering if there is a way that I can establish the link, even they are placed in different location.
    to exend the question, in my understanding, the web container within the j2ee application server is a Tomcat run evironment, do I need to connection the applicaiton server to one of web servers like appache web server, IIS etc to get better preform? if yes, how?
    Can anyone give some explanation please?
    Thank you very much!
    Ken

    No they do not have to be packed into the same War file.
    The application server does have to know where they are so that it can handle requests for a given "html" file.
    For example: "bb.html" was found in the war file you deployed.
    it links to "aa.doc" - where is the directory or war file that contains "aa.doc"?
    It too needs to be "deployed" within the server in order to be found.
    I hope this helps.

    That sounds like a problem with the prefs.js file that stores the prefs or with the extensions registry.
    You can check for problems with preferences.
    Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

  • How do i get itunes to read from an external harddrive without transfering it all on to the computer

    I have 1.5 terrabytes of movies on an external hard drive. my internal hard drive is only 1 terrabye. Every time I try to link my movies it starts to transfer everything back to the internal. is there a way to make it read just movies (music is on the internal) on the external, without duplicating it all on to my mac?

    Hold down the option key while dragging items to the iTunes window.  This will override iTunes copying the media to its media folder and simply add it in its current location.  There can be disadvantages to this, particularly when the day comes you wish to relocate items to a new external drive.   You will have to re-add those items to the library again, losing things such as ratings, playcount, etc.

  • I want all users to have access to all programs

    I've just hired 2 interns and so for the first time I'm setting up a new user account other than my own administrator account. There are a few things I'd like to do.
    1. I figured out that I need to put the files I want to share with both interns into the Shared folder. I'm guessing I did that right because it seems to work.
    2. I'd like for both users to have the use of all or most of the software installed on my machine. How can I set that up? Is there a way to only give them access to some software but not all?
    3. I'd like to set up their Dock to look like mine. Is there any way to do this other than to take a screen shot of mine and simply recreate it on their log-in?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Hello Benjamin,
    Seems like you are already file sharing with the other computers...That is great.
    As far as them using your applications......you must install the applications onto their computers for them to be able to use the application.
    As for the look of the dock......Once you have installed the applications onto their computers...you can make the dock look like yours simply by adding the icons to the dock. The dock can change appearance very easily just by dragging and dropping icons.
    I am not an expert in sharing but in school we have things set up this way. I have set one computer to act as the main file sharer. Be sure to do periodic back ups...HTH....Jim

  • I have a complete back up of all files on the HDD before downgrade to Win7 from Win8. Cannot now find old FF bookmarks! Where are they?

  • Extremely bad read/write latency on iSCSI datastore

    Hello,
    I have a single host in my test lab which is having very bad read/write latency to an iSCSI datastore.  All of my hosts have 1G ethernet, other hosts in the lab are not having this issue.  What can I check to help isolate this issue?  Are there any steps I can take to optimize the performance?

    I'm struggling with exactly the same problem, but on ESXi 4.1.
    It seems that zfs inflate IO. When you check disk activity you can see that underline zfs trash the disks, while it results in a modest activity within ntfs.
    I just cannot figure out how to cope with it.

  • G710 hard drive read/write speed

    Hello,
    I have a brand new Ideapad G710  with 1TB Serial ATA 2, 5400rpm with advertised speed of 3 Gb/s (= 384MB/s).
    I am running Windows 7 ultimate x64 with SP1.
    When I test hard drive read/write speed (I used CrystalDiskMark) I get results of about 100MB/s, which is 3-4 times slower than it should be.
    I am not running any resource heavy applications (Resource monitor reports Disk I/O to be 0 most of the time in idle state). I have 3 partitions, each with 16-32GB paging file size and all are >90% empty. All partitions have been defragmented before testing.
    Is this normal? Are there any lenovo drivers or utilities than I might be missing or that can slow/speed this?
    Solved!

    hi Daew,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    The results that you got while running CrystalDiskMark is normal. The SATA 2 (3Gb/s) that you mentioned is actually the SATA interface support, not the actual read/write performance.
    If you have a Seagate HDD (eg. ST10000LM024), check these specs
    From the above specs, the unit has a cache that has a read/write max speed of 145 MB/s but there are environmental factors and power requirements to get this speed (eg. read/write speed on AC power is differente from battery power).
    AFAIK, if this is the specs that is design for this drive, there's no way to speed it up.
    If you're planning to upgrade in the future though, you can get an SSD for faster read/write.
    Regards

  • Formatted on  XP - EXTREMELY SLOW read/write on the Mac !!!!

    Man this iPod is wack!! Im using the iPod mini in Disk Mode to transfer bits (updaters since my XP machine is NEVER connected to the net) back and forth between my PowerBook and my XP Intel based machine. Obviously i set up and formatted the iPod Mini on the XP machine.
    Observation, file read/write times are unacceptably SLOW on Mac and the PC. Did Apple deliberately make this thing unusable in this situation? This thing has a transfer speed as if it were connected to a USB 1.1 port but it is NOT, on any of my machines. I format my USB Flash Drive (SanDisk Cruzer Titanium) on the same XP machine, use the same ports and it's read/write times are at least 5 times faster than the Mini !!!
    When i format and setup the iPod Mini on the Mac then install MacDrive on the PC astonishingly the read/write times significantly increase on BOTH Mac and the PC. As i suggested i think there is something drastically wrong with Apple's PC iPod setup, there is NO way my other devices formatted on the PC have such abysmal performance . Man i click on a folder in the Finder of the PC formatted iPod and it take about 3 seconds until the files inside are displayed...this is also the case on the PC.
    Anyone else experienced this?
    I was going to buy another iPod specifically for transferring data between my Mac's and my colleagues PC's, but there is no way i will with such severely degraded read/write performance.
    Best

    Apparently this is not a single isolated case.

    "On Mac FAT32 Format Slower Than HFS "
    My 60GB iPod came in Windows FAT32 format which I liked since I could use it in disk mode on both Mac & Windows. However it seemed slow to start playing video and when switching between video files.
    I did some timing tests and on the Mac FAT32 was much slower than HFS.
    FAT32
    Start playing movie = 12s
    Stop movie and restart at same location = between 12-30s
    HFS
    Start playing movie = 5s
    Stop movie and restart at same location = between 6s
    If you have a Mac and your new 5G iPod is formatted for Windows, you may want to use the iPod Updated to restore and make the drive HFS.
    There is NO such performance problems with USB Flash drives when formatted to Fat32 on PC's i have tested many and they perform similar on BOTH platforms.
    Something fishy goin on here
