Which SSD is right for the X220?

I'm planning on buying an OCZ SSD for my X220, but I'm not too familiar with the technical aspects of the SSD's. For example, I looked over their website and found things like SATA III, USB 3.0, mSATA, Max IOPS, and etc. I have no idea what most of these terms mean and am not even sure if these work for my laptop, so can someone give me a quick explanation for this and show me a SSD model thats good to use on the X220? I'm mainly looking for something with 120 GB.
EDIT: I just read up somewhere that OCZ has reliability issues? Blue screen of death occurs often; is this true?

Hi,
OCZ from what I have read is not be best for reliability. They are the best for speed.
Reliability it's more Intel that have that reputation, but they was hit by a firmware bug that was causing 8mo issue. They have released a patch since then. But some people report that they still experience that issue on their forum... So who knows if it's fixed...
Crucial do the M4 series, they was know to have lag issue (like the computer hang for 30 secondes every 30 minutes) but they have fixed that issue in the firmware.
SATA I, II, III it's the speed of the port. Your thinkpad X220 support up to Sata III. So that mean that you can use a SATA II SSD and it will works (it will be slower then a SATA III drive). But on the day to day usage, you won't see any difference in speed between a SATA II and a SATA III drive.
mSATA it's an SSD with a different form factor, it's really small. You can add one like this in your X220. You have to install it under the keyboard (so it's a bit less user friendly to install). It's also slower then a regular SATA II or SATA III SSD. But it allow you to have it as a second drive in your X220.
USB3.0 have nothing to do with the SSD, it's simply the new gen of USB port that are faster then USB 2.0.
Max IOPS it's a unit to calculate the speed of the SSD. Don't bother much with that, any SSD will be fast enough to make you X220 boot under 20 secondes.
Personnally I went with an Intel 160gb SSD mostly because that Intel do the most reliable SSD. Reliability for me was more important then speed. But my "slow" Sata II Intel SSD score at 7,6 ... So it's really fast...
ThinkPad X220, I7 2620M, 8GB RAM, Intel 320 160GB SSD, IPS screen, USB 3.0, Bluethoot, Cam, Win 7 pro 64, BIOS: 1.17, Model: 4286-CTO, Fabrication date: 07/11

Which Language is right for the job?

Currently we have a LabVIEW application that a 3rd party vendor created specifically for our needs. This application handles all data logging and instrument control of a large printing press. There is a secondary program that was developed in-house that acts as the user interface to this LabVIEW program and communicated through DDE. My question centers around the fact the we are currently in the process of upgrading the functions of these two programs and would very much like to maintain only one development language. Should we do everything in LabVIEW or VB/C++ with Measeurement Studio? Can someone please point out some quick easy to understand benefits of using either language and which they feel would be a strong
er environment for a growing department. Thanks.

Well, you asked in a Labview group, so my answer is Labview.
Of course, it depends on what software you need written.
Here are my reasons.
1) If you require instrument control (DAQ etc), etc. labview is very very
good!
2) Development time in labview is very short, you can't beat it in the
speed in which you can go from initial architecture to final application.
3) It sounds like the majority of the code you mention is already in
labview.
It is easier to write "user interface" in labview than to write "instrument
control"
in CB/C++.
4) You can always hire labview programmers on contract. The NI Alliance is
good for this. (but of course, you can hire anyone you want for c++ too).

Which method is right for creating directory

Hi all
whenever we create directory for oracle 11g during installtion
we have two method from documents
which method is right
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed:
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod -R 775 /u01
or
Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed:
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
chmod -R 775 /u01

ORACLE_BASE is a base directory which is owned by oracle user. The software itself is installed in ORACLE_HOME. When you create ORACLE_HOME it creates you also ORACLE_BASE. That's the way to go. If you don't have ORACLE_HOME created Oracle Universal Installer might complain or fail.

My macbook is running slow and i wanted to know which SSD is compatible for a 2009 model macbook pro??

my macbook is running slow and i wanted to know which SSD is compatible for a 2009 model macbook pro??

GitongaKuria,
several people here use Crucial, OWC and Samsung SSDs. I have a Samsung 840 PRO SATA III SSD in my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and your 2009 model and my 2010 model both have SATA II interfaces — these brands of SATA III SSDs (at minimum) work well in MacBook Pros with SATA II interfaces. In the case of the Samsung 840 EVO SSD, make sure that you visit the Samsung SSD firmware page to download and install its latest firmware.

how do I find out which battery is right for my mac pro 13 inch Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 late 2011 model

You could try ringing apple and seeing if they will give you a model number for the battery and then find one on google. Or you may even be able to order one from apple themselves.
They have support numbers for all over the world, in case you don't have the number you need, this is the support number website with all the numbers all over the world:

Like I said before ask facebook or look at their support site to see if that is even a feature.

I can't seem to decide between the 13" or the 15" MacBook Pro. I had a 14.5 in Dell which crashed on me for the third and last time. It was also my primary home computer. Is the 15" necessary or should I just get the 13"?

Is the 15" necessary or should I just get the 13"? I probably won't be doing any graphics or anything like that.

It is really a matter of your personal preference. You have to choose between the extra carrying convenience of the smaller machine and the greater "real estate" of the bigger. I use a 15", and have not found it inconvenient for carrying, even on aircraft, where it has to share backpack space with an SLR camera and assorted lenses.

I have a Comcast system and am going through a Bose amp for sound. The comcast box has an HDMI port which I've used for the Apple TV connection. Nothing works! Help.

Thanks. Thought that would be the solution but for my wall mounted TV it's going to be a problem but many thanks for your reply.....

Hi Hannah,
Inspector > Text > Tabs Button > Tab Settings > Default Tabs.
To set a tab stop on the go, click in the ruler.
If you can't see the ruler, Menu > View > Show Rulers.
To set tab stops for lines (paragraphs) you have already typed, select those paragraphs and set them all at once.
Also, have a look at Menu > Pages > Preferences > Rulers.

Reg: In Which Table Tax Details for the invoice are stored

Team,
Can you please help me in which table : tax information for the invoice is stored.
I need the following tax : QST_PAID_AMOUNT ,GST_PAID_AMOUNT, GST_CONTRA_AMOUNT information for invoice.
Thanks.

Hello Vinay,
Here's the answer -
select single *
from SEOMETAREL
where clsname = 'CL_BBBB'
and reltype = '2'.
The class for which you want to find the superslass will be the field CLSNAME, the superclass itself will be REFCLSNAME and this inheritance relationship is specified through the parameter RELTYPE.
I don't think any further explanation is necessary.
Regards,
Anand MAndalika.
p.s. Please do reward the points if this answer has helped you.

Which file is responsible for the BEA WL Console page

Can anyone tell me, which file is responsible for the BEA WebLogic Server
Administration Console web page?
For example, the URL for the Admin Console
http://<domainname>/console is being redirected to
http://<domainname>/console/login/LoginForm.jsp.

I would strongly discourage any modification of this as it would not be supported. Perhaps you should explain in more detail why you want to do this?
The files on WLS 10.0 appear to be here:
BEA_HOME\wlserver_10.0\server\lib\consoleapp\
Specifically in the webapp\WEB-INF\web.xml subdirectory you can see how things are set up to redirect in the login-config element.

[SOLVED]change default access creation rights for the users

Hi!
When a user creating folders or files it will allow full access to all users who are in the same group.
How can I make the changes to be default instead of using chmod always?

Here is an example with some entries from my smb.conf
security = share
guest account = windowstools
[WT]
path = /home/Windows/Win-tools
public = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 0000
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
read only = no
Windows XP is connected to my Linux share. I want be able to create folders and have access within Linux and Windows with rwx rights for the group. For now files created from Windows getting default rights 755 (rwx,xr,xr).
windowstools:andy = is XP username/group
andy:andy = Arch Linux username/group
Windows XP is full updated (got problem once with connection to samba after update, got wait until next updates will come -.- , when new windows updates came XP could be connected to samba again, was a bug as I hoped).
I am starting/restarting samba with script like
#!/bin/bash
systemctl stop smbd
sleep 2
systemctl status smbd | head -1
systemctl status smbd | grep 'Active:' | awk -F')' '{print $1}' | sed 's/(//m'
systemctl stop nmbd
sleep 1
systemctl status nmbd | head -1
systemctl status nmbd | grep 'Active:' | awk -F')' '{print $1}' | sed 's/(//m'
systemctl start smbd
sleep 2
systemctl status smbd | head -1
systemctl status smbd | grep 'Active:' | awk -F')' '{print $1}' | sed 's/(//m'
systemctl start nmbd
sleep 1
systemctl status nmbd | head -1
systemctl status nmbd | grep 'Active:' | awk -F')' '{print $1}' | sed 's/(//m'
and not automatically on boot.
Windows XP is running in VMware Player on the same PC with Arch Linux.

Is it possible to delete the fusion drives' standard partitions to be able to use the SSD part only for the OS?

Like the question suggests, I'm thinking about purchasing one of the new 27'' iMacs and I'm wondering if I'd be possible to repartition the 3TB fusion drive to use the 128GB SSD part only for the OS.

Thanks a lot for this fast and helpful reply!
€dit: I accidentially clicked on "This helped me" instead of "This solved my question" and now it seems like I'm unable to change that :/
