Whats the speed of the 100GB Hdd Option upgrade

Hello
Im looking getting a second mini & passing my one onto a pest "family member". The apple site had the option of a 100G hdd. What would the speed of this drive be.

"If the system were being used for video (as an example) then rotational speed of the drive is barely relevent to system performance as long as the drive is capable of sustaining the necessary data stream (a 4200rpm drive can typically manage 30fps DV)."
Maybe in iMovie, but ask any FCP user, and they will say 7200 makes all the difference in the world. I have only a 700 MHz processor, and that has nothing to do with whether or not I can capture and output video. However, if my drive has a bump in it, all **** breaks loose. The only time I ever wish for a faster processor is when I start a render... and then I go to bed.
But try scrubbing video on a 4200 RPM drive. Then try a 5400, then a 7200, the a couple of 7200s in a RAID. Then three, then four, then five...
Rotation speed makes a HUGE difference in video. Most of my time is spent editing, scrubbing, audio scanning and doing things that really work the drives. Bay 3 at work feels a heck of a lot slower to me than Bay 1 or 2. Bay 3 has two 7200 RPM drives in a RAID, and Bays 1 and 2 each have a set of 5 drives in a RAID. Yet Bay 3 has the fastest processor in our building.

    Hello lea,
    this is what those mean:
    Warn me when sites try to install add-ons :
    With [[Customizing Firefox with add-ons|Add-ons]] you can enhance Firefox's experience. However, some add-ons can be malicious so that's why Firefox warns you before installing them by default.
    Block reported attack sites :
    Attack sites are those sites that can install malware on your computer. Normally, Firefox blocks that. The same goes for
    Block reported web forgeries , where Phishing sites are being blocked. See [[How the phishing and malware protection in Firefox works]].
    Also, those information can be found in the [[Options window - Security panel]] KB article.

  • What the max HDD size my Motherboard can take?

    I got these specs:
    Motherboard:   MSI MS-6342/K7M Pro (MS-6340M)/K7TM Pro (MS-6340)
    Bios: http://img230.echo.cx/img230/2712/pixx9kl.jpg
    I want to know if they can run on ATA 133, if they can get 16 mb Cache, and what is the max size max each HDD?
    It it not mentioned on the mainsite :-/

    Hello Erwin!
    As it normally is the same BIOS for them, I think this might help:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=131
    "On-Board IDE
    • An IDE controller on the VIA® VT82C686B Chipset provides IDE HDD / CD-ROM with PIO,
       Bus Master and Ultra DMA 33/66/100 operation modes. "
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=131&kind=1
    BIOS, update version 4.4
    "-Support HDD Size larger than 137GB"
    Hmm, how can you see if you have succesfully updated to version 4.4? because I am not sure if I did it right 
    Also it supports HDD larger than 137gb, does it support up to a 300 gb?

    Hi There!
    "Best" is so subjective, don't you think? Rather, it's a set of trade-offs that result in your own personal preference. For instance, via DTM, you can (and should, IMO) take a full manual backup before you do any updates. Also via DTM, you can install your carriers device OS package which will keep DTM working well with your device and your carrier...but you might have to remove and install a new package when your carrier releases another update. OTA updates don't have the ability for the robust backup of DTM, but are more convenient for those who cannot tether easily. So, best becomes what works best in your unique world. For me, DTM only -- backup/restore is critical to me, so that trumps all. But that's just me.

  • Can someone tell me what the benefits are to upgrading from Adobe Creative Suite 6 to Creative Cloud.

    I work alone, I am the only employee of 1500 employees who uses adobe software.  Other than having a lot of people who use the same software and being able to bounce ideas off each other, what are the benefits?

    CS6 is 3+ years old and is no longer being updated... Cloud is current, and IS being updated with new features
    If you don't need new features, or the ability to edit new file types, keep using CS6

  • Does anybody know what the cost is to upgrade 5 weeks early for iphone 6

    contract is up toward the end of October. Ordered iphone 6 for my daughters line which is eligible but now I dont want to wait for one for myself. Since delivery dates are now well into October would they let me order now. 

    Probably not.  If you are not eligible till October, you can't pre-order it now anyway.Order it once you re eligible.

  • I think I chose the wrong Installation Option - Now what???

    I installed Leopard right when it came out and love the new OS. But, at the time I did not know what the various installation options meant or implicated. So, I chose the first/default "Upgrade OSX" option.
    Now, I have not been having any specific problems, but I think my computer should be faster when loading certain apps and toggling around between spaces, dashboard, and multitasking. The more I read about the installation options, I feel that my mac would run better if I reinstalled Leopard using another installation option, like Archive and Install.
    Is this a true concern? Should I reinstall using another option to operate at full potential? How do I go about doing that... same as before? Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
    Phil

    Hi Phil Mutz;
    So far I have used Upgrade to install Leopard on five Macs, two of my own and three for friends. So far all of them are all operating just as they were with Tiger. From my experiences with Leopard, I suspect that your problem is elsewhere on your system rather then how you installed Leopard.

  • The cpu interface option

    Hi!
    I have a MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR mainboard with a AMD Athlon XP 3200+ cpu installed. This cpu runs with 400Mhz fsb and the mainboard bios is the latest version (7.8). I also have 2x 256Mb TwinMos DDR running in dual channel mode with the timings 2.5-3-3-8. Nothing is overclocked and everything is working fine.
    What I would like to know is what the "cpu interface" option in the bios really does. It can be set to "normal" or "high performance". When is set to high performance, testing with sisoft sandra 2005 shows an increase in the memory bandwidth and the results with 3dmark2003 are also higher. Is this some sort of overclock? If so, what does it change? Does it have long term consequences or can it damage anything?

    These are the benchmark results:

    -system performance: auto
    -cpu fsb clock: 200Mhz

  • Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?

    Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?
    So what I did was, I had bought my iMac from a shop and asked them to do bootcamp for me. However, they installed 32 bit instead of 64. My fault, I did not make my self clear about it. So after it has been delivered to my house, I realized that I wanted the 64 bit. I tried to remove windows on bootcamp but honestly, I have not experienced this before. So I failed. I believe, I did something wrong.
    So I opened the iMac and it keeps asking me to go to windows. Windows OS also corrupted.
    I tried the Option Key but the only option is Windows 7 only. So using a different keyboard, I press option and it only shows Windows HDD and the Mac HDD has gone.
    What am I going to do? How can I restore Mac OS without the HDD anymore?

    16bit? Pixels extending beyond the canvas? (from a crop with delete unused pixels turn off).  Have you previously been saving PSD files?
    IME you sometimes have to tell Photoshop that the first save of a session is JPG, and it remembers from there on.  The way to 'tell' Photoshop that JPG, or PDF, or PNG etc are now your preferred format is to Ctrl (Cmd) click on that format in the Save As drop down list.  So long as the file does not have parameters that your chosen format does not support, then this should work for you.
    [EDIT]  Just noticed that you did include 'Crop' in the subject line.  Do you have 'Delete cropped pixels' checked?
