Which is better 500gb or 750gb

I am looking into buying a macbook pro and I am wondering if I should get the 500gb or the 750gb?

The 500 GB at 7,200 RPM is faster at loading your files and saving, likely not noticeable unless you had a 5,400 RPM previously. Drawbacks, it might reduce your battery life a little more.
The 750 GB has more space and at 5,400 RPM is obviously slower, but most users won't be able to tell the difference. The battery life is a bit longer as it takes less energy, but one likely wouldn't notice.
The big difference in video graphics rendering quality between the
13" poor HD 3000 integrated graphics scores 11 points (all glossy screens)
15" 2.0 Ghz last years video card scores 18 points (anti-glare screen option)
15" 2.2 Ghz + newest video card scores 30 points. (anti-glare screen option)
If your going to 3D game and want your machine to last longer, feel snappy, then I suggest the 2.2 Ghz or better, you can add more RAM and a faster hard drive later if you wish.

RAID Options-Which is better?

I'm about to place a hefty order with OWC for my new Mac Pro before it arrives. I use Aperture and keep the library on a different drive than my boot drive. I would like to set up a RAID 0 for maximum speed. I'm going to order 2 500GB Western Digital RE SATA RAID Edition drives (have had good luck with WD). I know that a software RAID isn't as good as a hardware RAID. Which do you think would be the better choice below. I will be backing up the Media drive regardless.
1. Add two of the above drives internally and use Disk Utility to create a 1 TB RAID 0
2. Use this enclosure:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEFW924AL2K/
which allows spanning w/ two different drives (may come in handy someday), striping as a RAID 0, or spanning in sequence. The other options besides RAID may be just a bonus later. Speed is my concern.
The enclosure has a jumper that sets the configuration. I realize this isn't as good as a RAID card or an eSATA enclosure, but price is becoming an object. I guess I'm asking if this is hardware RAID on the cheap and better than a software RAID.
If #2 is faster and/or more reliable, I'd back up to a large internal drive. Thank you for any advice.

+Pick up the dual SATA $67 black case from OWC and avoid FireWire, and those FW RAID type.+
Just curious - why avoid FW or just for raid. I have 2 Mercury Elite FW 800 externals that work fine.
+There are two extra SATA ports on the motherboard that can be used.+
+NewerTech kit from OWC $25.+
I did a search on OWC and couldn't find this. Could you link to it?
+Sonnet Tempo E4P SATA controller 4-channel and up to 20 drives for external RAID. When you find the need.+
Looks like a great card, but $270 + eSATA enclosure + drives not a current option. As you state, maybe in the future.
+I would pick up a 750GB WD Caviar SE16 or RE2 for your boot drive or internal Time Machine. Fast and excellent boot drive even if you use half. If price wasn't an issue I'd skip the 500GB for 750GB model but they are $100 extra each.+
I may go w/ WD 750 for the boot drive, but just to return to the RAID question-I wasn't referrring to either a boot or backup drive. I keep most of my media on a second internal drive. I would like to make it a RAID. Any thoughts on my #1, a software RAID?
+The Newer kit is difficult to install (needle nose and good eyesight) plus $67 case and another pair of WD RE2s is $330. And faster (almost 150MB/sec) than 80MB/sec of FW interface you get otherwise.+
I know the case you mean. I'm confused, though. I assumed you used a PCI eSATA card for connection. How could it connect from interior to exterior of Mac Pro case?

ps: is a 128gb solid state drive worth replacing the 500gb or 750gb serial ata

USB 3 vs USB 2 -> the importance of USB 3 depends on how much you use an external drive to read/write large files or large numbers of files. I once did extensive testing with USB 2 vs FireWire 400 & 800 with TimeMachine. It was no surprise that performing a complete backup with FireWire was significantly faster than with USB (or even a large backup such as after installing an OS update). But for those hourly (or even daily) backups the difference wasn't all that significant. Exporting a large number of photos or an iMovie to FireWire was significantly faster. Copying a copy word processor files it was almost impossible to accurate time the difference. For some the USB3 ports are a big deal. For me, not at all because I'm heavily invested in FireWire drives.
BlueTooth 4? Frankly, I can't say because the only thing I use BT for is my keyboard and mouse which the older standard is fine for. There are potential advantages - just as with USB3 - the question is whether your current/future needs align to the new standards. Again for me they don't.
As for the CPU difference - I've already indicated that unless you are doing high processor intensive work (such as 3D modelling or big statistical modeling) either processor has plenty of power. According to the benchmarks my new work iMac runs rings around my work 2009 Core 2 Duo 13" MBP. In my real world use of those two computers I never notice the difference. If I played 3D games on them I would.
I've already said that all but one of my refurbs looked new and from what I've seen of relatives and friends buying refurbs that runs pretty true. You aren't buying a new computer but on the other hand I've never seen a refurb that looked beat up. Most refurbs are computers that buyers returned within Apple's 14 day buyer's remorse period or were dead on arrival, a new one given to the buyer, and repaired.
I can't tell you how long a refurb MBP will last - no more than I can tell you how long a new MBP will last. But Apple warrants them for a year and lets you buy an extended warranty just as if they were new. That indicates the confidence Apple has in its refurbs.
Where do you get the idea that you can only put a 128GB SSD in a 13"? It can handle any standard 2.5" drive and there are plenty of SSDs in that form factor at 256GB and above. Yes an SSD is expensive compared to a standard drive but the speed increase is amazing and not just in booting up the computer. Installing an SSD on my 4.5 year old iMac gave it another year of live. Installing one in my work MBP was like getting a new computer. I wouldn't consider buying a new computer without one.

Which Is Better For High School, An Air or A Pro?

Which Is Better?

SSD drives are superior in many ways and would give the air another +1 of course you can always upgrade.
if size and budget are of no issue, MacBook Pro Retina 15" would be invaluable to anyone student or not
I am using this macbook air:
1.8GHz Intel Dual-Core Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 2.8GHz
4GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
128GB Flash Storage
and this macbook pro for my comparison:
2.5GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
4GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM — 2x2GB
500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)

Thank you all for your help.

Which is better to use: BEx query or Web Application as an iView in portal?

Hi gurus!
Are there any experienced opinions, which is better - publish a BEx query in portal or publish a BEx Web Application in portal? Is it easier to alter the layout attributes etc. if I create a BEx Web Application first before publishing?
What is the way of fixing for example filter item height if I publish BEx query in portal - is there a Web Application that it uses anyhow which I can fix? Or can I use in that case iView -properties in portal?
Thankful for advice
Sari

ok, means i can use jsp:useBean tag for all my
classes that are not actually bean. so it will be
instantiated at run time and provide efficiency .No. Jsp:useBean is used for java bean components.
>
but when should i use import statement in my jsp and
it happen at translation time so will it create any
type of burden for my code if i import multiple
classes.For non-java beans, you need to import the classes, period.
It's not a burden, it's a necessity.

Which is better for performance Azure SQL Database or SQL Server in Azure VM?

Hi,
We are building an ASP.NET app that will be running on Microsoft Cloud which I think is the new name for Windows Azure. We're expecting this app to have many simultaneous users and want to make sure that we provide excellent performance to end users.
Here are our main concerns/desires:
Performance is paramount. Fast response times are very very important
We want to have as little to do with platform maintenance as possible e.g. managing OS or SQL Server updates, etc.
We are trying to use "out-of-the-box" standard features.
With that said, which option would give us the best possible database performance: a SQL Server instance running in a VM on Azure or SQL Server Database as a fully managed service?
Thanks, Sam

hello,
SQL Database using shared resources on the Microsft data centre. Microsoft balance the resource usage of SQL Database so that no one application continuously dominates any resource.You can try the
Premium Preview
for Windows Azure SQL Database which offers better performance by guaranteeing a fixed amount of dedicated resources for a database.
If you using SQL Server instance running in a VM, you control the operating system and database configuration. And the
performance of the database depends on many factors such as the size of a virtual machine, and the configuration of the data disks.
Reference:
Choosing between SQL Server in Windows Azure VM & Windows Azure SQL Database

Which is better??????

which is better?Dam really confused which speaker to buy??
i currently have a creative m2600.but am not getting enough performance or that feel while watching movies like avatar,step up 3 etc......so am planning to buy a 5.1.......not planning but i have decided to buy a 5.1....so..
which is better? the 6160 or 6060 or 6100.
which of these will provide me relly great exprience while playing games and most importantly while whatching hd movies and while listening to music.......
and other than this what i have to ask is...what is this "db" in speakers. i mean while looking at a speaker specs we can see it..like 65db,85db,75db..etc........
and when i compared specs of the three speakers i mentioned above i saw that the 6160 has low "db"........why is that?

The specs is just a guide, you won't be able to tell the slight difference in db using just your ears. Besides, it is just a comparison between the level of a music to the level of background noise, it does not necessary mean which speaker sounds better. If possible, please make a trip to your local electronics store and try out the speakers system yourself.

Which is better software for brochures and PDF forms ? Photoshop or InDesign ? and why ?

If you are going to be making a lot of brochures, with photos, you probably want both. Photoshop to edit the photos, and InDesign to assemble and layout images with text.

Which is better an android or apple

Which is better getting an android smart phone or an Apple I Phone?

As the poster Horses 547 said its a matter of personal preference. However I own and use both. Printing via air print is smooth and easy on an iphone. Printing on a android phone is iffy and tedious and you will have to find an app to print since there is no native app to do so. I purchased http://www.printhand.com which costs around $12 from the app store. but it is in my opinion the best printing app out there for android. I use it on my android tablet as well and its great. This company is the maker of the print app on iphones.
The iphone is a little harder to put your own ringtone on the device. However very easy from the Itunes you put on your computer and hook into.
Another thing an iphone does is if you use their cloud service or pay for a song it is available on all your ios devices. Iphone, ipad, or ipod or up to five computers registered through itunes on those computers.
Google play music also can sync with all your android devices.
Iphone don't have external Micro SD card slots, so the storage on the phone is all you have.
Iphones use imessage which does not count against your text allotment to another iphone or ipad user. it send regular text to non iphone users.
Another thing is Face Time but I found a better program called oovoo at http://www.oovoo.com or in the Google Play Store for free.
Iphones are paper thin but I have an android that has a larger view area and is also paper thin and light. Depending on the android phone it may have a removable battery, whereas iphones are sealed as are some new androids. I have found the sound for music better on my iphone, and videos are crystal clear. Again on some better androids the music and video is comparable .
There is really not many differences but it up to the user.
One last good thing is iphones are updated via Apple, no long waits for OS updates like is done with Android devices, and android devices on Verizon.

all pretty identical tho I would go with cs, just because I
like the GUI much
more than other versions...

Which is better for bulk message scenario in sap xi RFC or Proxy

which is better for bulk message scenario in ( RFC or Proxy ) ?
Edited by: prabhatxi on Aug 6, 2010 4:44 PM

Proxy will alwaays be better option in this case, as it is adapter less framework, and communication happens directly with XI central integration engine. So it is always fast communication and gives good performance.
But still you should consider other factors, you may consider using RFC as well, as sometime we go for RFC/IDOC as this are the standard interfaces already available rather than creating structure...
May be you can share more info on what type/volume data are you planning to send via XI?
Hope this cleart your doubt..

Which is better - Add a dimension or create more members in an existing

Which is better - Add a dimension or create more members in an existing dimension?
We are trying to figure out which can give us better performance in terms of calculations and retrieving reports - to add another dimension (entity/country) or add about 500-800 more members in an existing location/division dimension?
Thank you!

If you have BSO cube i would recommend to add in the same dimension where as ASO you can add members in a new dimension. Adding a new dimension is like creating a new cube you have to change each and every single calc scripts,report scripts,FR reports,Webforms and your rule files .... all the dependencies has to be changed manually . I think 500 members in the exsting BSO dimension will not impact the calc or retrieval times that much .
