incorrect assumptions about hard drive requirements

-

for last several months (release of cs5 , prior)

i have received numerous sales calls (just got off phone again) after people have read forum under assumption

1) needed expesnive raid card

2) needed 8-12 drive raid array.

3)temp file drives/cache drives

 

people incorrect 95% of adobe users.

 

of has been covered our friend harm reiterate!

 

technically can run dv/hdv/avchd/xdcam os drive (not recommended @ all)

 

absolute bare minimum should 3 drive set up

 

1) os

2) single work/capture/project drive (what ever want call it) (112mb/s)

3) single render to/final output/export (name will)

 

this need dv/hdv (anything ingested via firewire) !

 

 

ideal avchd/xdcam/p2 etc (and depending red footage 4 layer , less)

 

1) os

2) set of 2 drives raid 0  (195+ mb/s)

3) set of 2 drives raid 0

both on onboard raid controller

 

anything beyond complete , absolute waste of money above formats

this covers 80% of adobe users

 

red4k more 4 layers , uncompressed

good raid card (intel, areca)

1)os

2) 3-4drive raid 0 (429mb/s) or (4 drive raid 5)  (315mb/s)

3) 3-4 drive raid 0 or (4 drive raid 5)

spliting drive arrays reading 1 , writing better 1 single raid array (even 8- 12 drive one) (700-800mb/s)

 

unless doing uncompressed 10/12 bit 4-4-4 not need huge raid array

 

even raid 5/6 etc wise external source

esata/nas ever.

 

ymmv doubt it.

hi

 

i have configuration cs5: intel core i7 extreme, 12gb memory, gtx480:

 

1 -  1 - 300 gb os drive adobe master collection installed.

 

2 -  4 x 1tb = 4tb raid3 (areca  arc-1680d-ix 12-ports sas raid controller)

 

 

i have 2 open plugs in areca raid controller.

 

if more  4 more 1tb drives should set two raid3's -- 1 raid "read" , other "for write"?

 

i assume approach.  improve export time rendering time?

 

thanks

 

rowby

How to update nested ListCollectionViews?

-
hi troops,   my application has core set of items (e.g. products), gets passed between various view layers. each layer wraps given input list in listcollectionview, , adds own sorting , filtering.   that way might have construct similar to   new listcollectionview(new listcollectionview(new arraycollection()))   but, of course, sorting/filtering added on each level.   now when call itemupdated() on root arraycollection, change not propagate hierarchy of lists.   it seems each wrapping, have call itemupdated(), such as:   ac.itemupdated(product); ac.itemupdated(product);   to make top-most listcollectionview update. single call not trick.   debugging code gave me insight initial collectionevent.update event ac converted move event listcollectionview. second call makes lcv realize item wouldn't move anymore , not convert event, next lcv can item-moved update of localindex.   yes, yes, complicated. feedback welcome, of course for single o...

cf_sql_integer vs cf_sql_bigint vs cf_sql_int??

-
i have id (primary key) set bigint in sql server. have query following: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#url.id#"> i got invalid data type it. tried: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_bigint" value="#url.id#"> i still got invalid data type it. tried: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_int" value="#url.id#"> and worked. the weird thing cf_sql_int not listed being accepted: http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/coldfusion/5.0/cfml_reference/tags79.htm can explain me. > whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_bigint" value="#url.id#"> what value of #url.id#? had no problems either using cf8. > weird thing cf_sql_int not listed being accepted: iirc, when pass in invalid sql type cf uses default: cf_sql_char, accepts anything. ms sql implicit convert() right type , why works.
