Which HDD More Appropriate?

Hi,
I'm about to buy the MacBook Pro 2Ghz but was wandering if there would be a big advantage to buying the model with the faster HDD?
I will be using MS Office (Word mostly), Adobe Photoshop CS2 and the Internet.
MacBook Pro   Other OS  

Owning a portable over a desktop offers great advantages but one must accept concessions in terms of overall performance. Granted, files are larger these days especially with running two separate load-sets within Mac Intel machines. I opted for increased speed of the 7200 as it does access files a bit faster than the 5400. I wanted to have every possible edge where performance is concerned. If you want additional storage, consider “on the go” external options such a 4gb flash drive or external HD. Please mark this post as “helpful”, etc. if it applies.
Regards,
2.16 GHz MacBook Pro (W8612...), Dell 620 WorkStation (XP Pro)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   G4 Tower (OS 9/10), Dell 620 WorkStation (XP Pro), Gateway P4 (XP Home)

  • EzVPN or L2L - which is more appropriate?

    I am in the process of desiging a solution to connect approximately 20 teleworkers to our network for the purposes of working from home. The remote users will have some form of broadband connection (cable or DSL). We have both a VPN3030 and a PIX515e(v7) in our inventory to use as the head end device. My hope is to use the 3030 since it is already in use for L2L and VPNC connections. I have an 871 router in house for testing, it seems like a good choice for the job. My questions are this:
    1. Is the 871 the right device for the job? If not, what is?
    2. Since the broadband connections will have dynamic IP addresses what is the most appropriate VPN type L2L or EZ?
    Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Not sure how the LAN-to-LAN users connect currently on the VPNC. How many users do you have behind the 871 ? If it is one user, then i think the Ezvpn should do, more than 3 or 4 users you can look at a L2L

  • Which is more useful in include directive and taglibraries

              I am writing some static html tags inside a file.
              This files i need to call from jsp pages.
              one is i can call using include directive.
              other is writing taglibraries.
              Performance and optimization wise which is more appropriate?
              

    There is an include directive and a jsp:include tag. I would suggest that
              performance differences between these are nominal, with the directive being
              slightly faster due to its "inlining nature".
              Don't write your own tags to do this unless you have to. That would be
              silly.

  • What SAP module is more appropriate for my background?

    HI,
    I'm very interested to join a SAP course in India but i'm really not making any decision so far. which module is more suitable for me and my background.
    I have done my Master in "computer science" and my undergrad in "Education in computer". I've asked some guys and some have advised me to go for Basis or BI. I'm telling you that I have no experience in SAP world but I'll take a step further to join the most appropriate course that meets my background.
    my Questions are:
    - Any requirements to study SAP Basis/BI module in an authorized institute?
    - What do u suggest me to study?
    plz share your experience :):):)

    BTW, I'd like to get some advices about my situation:
    i'm interested to enter into SAP world but i duno which way is more appropriate for me:
    1- join a course in a non-authorized institute in India for about 2 months (2 h/day) then join SIEMENS institute (8 h/day) which is authorized then do the exam to be a SAP certified consultant. [a long way, total of studying is 3 months, will cost a bit more]
    2-  join a course in SIEMENS institute then do the exam to be a SAP certified consultant. [short period .. just 1 month, intensive]
    Things to bear in mind:
    - no experience in SAP world.
    - the aim of studying in a non-authorized institute is to enter into SAP world and make sure if the module is suitable for u or need to switch to another one. studying in a non-institute is a bit cheap.
    what do u recommend me to do?
    cheers,

  • How can i join more than 20 tables which contains more than 5 lacks records

    how can i join more than 20 tables which contains more than 5 lacks records

    If you're trying to join 20 tables I would check:
    - Are all the joins necessary. It's easy sometimes to just join to another table because you're unsure as to whether it's required.
    - What sort of application is it? 20 joins seems a lot to me. Are you trying to achieve too much with one query? Is it possible to break the problem down?
    - If it is necessary to join so many tables then force the use of hash joins in the query, especially if you're processing a lot of data and want the best throughput. If you want a quicker response, this will not be a appropriate.

  • IMAC 2010 which HDD can I use to replace the malfunctioned Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB?

    iMAC 2010 which HDD can I use to replace the malfunctioned Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB?

    After doing a bit more research, the 2010 iMacs do appear to have a third cable connecting to the  hard drive, for the internal temp sensor.  This would appear to be the block of 8 pins that are on almost all drives, but they are normally intended for jumpers.  Unfortunately I was unable to find any documentation or specs that would indicate this pin block connects to the internal temp sensor on either standard (non-Apple) WD Black or Seagate 7200.12 drives.
    I did find some info that may be of some use:
    WD: Where to connect an external temperature sensor to a Serial ATA or EIDE hard drive.iFixit: Replace the hard drive, how do I connect the hard drive thermal sensor?
    Apple Technician Guide: iMac 2010 27" (mid-2010)
    Various discussion threads I found through google searching indicated some people succeeded with installing an external temp sensor on the body of the drive.
    Sorry I couldn't help more.

  • @T440p owner: which HDD is buildet in?

    Dear T440p owners, which HDD is buildet in your laptop?
    I'm specialy interested in the original HDD
    which 500GB - 7200rpm is it?
    and which 1TB - 5400rpm is it?
    regards
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The parts list shows that Hitachi, Toshiba and Western Digital drives are used, to find out exactly which is fitted in a unit the serial number will be required as Lenovo will use whichever is available at the time of manufacture, (although over the years my experience says Hitachi seems to be the first choice manufacturer by Lenovo, but this is no guarantee).
    You can select the parts list on the following site where you will also notice that none of the 1TB drives have 7200RPM.
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/partsDBLookup.page
    The 20ANCTO1WW is a Construct To Order system, it will have the size and speed of drive you choose when ordering, it will not be possible to choose the drive's manufacturer

  • Help! -Recovery media and which HDD fits?-

    Recently went to my local Geek Sqaud "best buy" and had it checked out. What my error was (Recovery) 0xc00000f " PC needs to be repaired" geek squad said it was a hardrive issue, thus needing it to be replaced. They told me I needed "HP recovery media" and an HDD. Matter in fact I don't know which "Recovery media" nor which HDD I need for my notebook. If anyone can help please let me know asap on what I can do.
    Update: I've checked the prices for recovery medias, but how about the HDD??
    One more thing if I'm trying to recover the laptop that was running 8.1, do I buy the recovery media for 8.1 ??

    I'm sorry the shipping took so long. However, I just wanted to point out that you can make your own recovery media and are encouraged to do so by the documentation that came with the laptop.

    Hi richmc. I will only deal with the last part of your message.
    You say that you want to use Outlook 2007 to collect your mail. That is not a problem, it is just an email client. BT do not supply this email client. Microsoft do.
    You cannot expect BT to be able to assist customers with all the different email clients available to use. You can get the server details etc to set it up yourself.
    Most ISP's are the same on support issues for things that they do not supply.
    BT do have a paid support service if you did want to use it but for things like email setup it should not be needed.
    You also say that you have your own domain names. These NEED to be hosted somewhere to be able to use them for email.
    I don't believe that BT do hosting anymore(Could be wrong). So you would need to get in touch with a hosting company, someone like Nethosting, 1&1, GoDaddy etc to set up an email hosting account and then set up your email client to your hosting companies email servers.

  • How do I create my own favorite template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to templates, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get

    First, how do I create my own favorite theme template for DVD slideshows? I used to be able to select this from pulldown menu, but cannot now do so. I am directed straight to already existing themes, which take more memory. I have a large slideshow, and need all the space I can get. I just want to use a picture as my DVD cover, and then insert a slideshow. Also, when I try to burn my 8.5gb double sided slideshow, all that burns is the music. It is a large slideshow, a memorial on the life of my now deceased brother. This means a lot to me and to my family, and I am having so much trouble trying to burn it. I have gone into Project View and selected appropriately. The bar shows I have room to burn this DVD, but it does not burn.  I have burned so many DVDs in the past, but this one just will not burn. I am so confused at this point. I will say this is the first 8.5gb I have attempted to create and burn. My specs list a 7.7gb or 4.7gb as operable....but there are no 7.7gb dvds. I had to purchase 8.5gb. Help? What am I doing wrong? I have spent so much time on this, and just cannot figure it out.

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

  • Implicit Join or Explicit Join...which is more efficient???

    Which is more efficient?
    An IMPLICIT JOIN
    SELECT TableA.ColumnA1,
    TableB.ColumnB2
    FROM TableA,
    TableB
    WHERE TableA.ColumnA1 = TableB.ColumnB1
    Or....An EXPLICIT JOIN

    INNER JOIN TableB

    I have to write a pretty extensive query and there will be many parts and I just want to try and make sure it is efficient as possible. Can I EXPLAIN this in SQL Navigator as well to find out???
    Thanks in advance for your review and hopeful for a reply.

  • Which hdds are compatible with hp pavilion dv6700t cto entertainment notebook pc (out of warranty)

    I recently purchased a Seagate momentus as replacement http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148591 thinking it would be compatible but when i tried to replace
    the connections(interface) was not compatible with the laptop. Is there an adapter to resolve this problem?
    if not which hdds are compatible?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi,
    If you have the original HDD, check that there is not a black plastic adapter that you can pull off the old drive and fit to the new one.
