    Optimal Drive and Application Setup

    rsukhram@tgioa.com Community Member

      Good day all.   First off I apologize if this is the wrong section for posting this.  This question is not for any one specific app but more for the best setup across the entire suite.

       

      I have been a member of the Adobe Suites for quite a few years but never had the chance to really setup my drives and configure my applications optimally.  I do think that I havedecent hardware in place now and wanted to reach out for best application setups (caching and such).

       

      I am currently using all CC 2014 version applications (PS/ID/AI/AU/LR/PR/AE/Bridge).  Based on my drives and GPU can I adjust any of the setting in these apps to take advantage of my system?

       

      My drives are configured as such (I followed an older post regarding number of drive and what their roles would be (I believe submitted by Harm) as a model):

      • 1 500GB SSD - primary OS/Apps
      • 1 1TB WD Velociraptor - Lightroom Catalog
      • 1 1TB WD Velociraptor - Previews + Exports
      • 1 1TB WD Velociraptor - Pagefiles + Caching
      • 2 1TB WD Velociraptor (Raid 0) - Media Files + Projects

       

      My GPUs are:

      • Quadro 4000 + Tesla C2075 (Maximus configuration)
      • Quadro K2000 (needed to add a 3rd monitor)

       

      Rest of system:

      • Dual Xeon E5-2670 (2.60 GHz)
      • 64 GB Total Ram

       

      I know now that the 4000 + C2075 wasnt a good choice (but this was done almost 3 years ago...and Im sure I will regret the WD Velocirators in time but at the moment this is what I am working with.

      Thank you again for reading and for any advise.
