How to setup my computer

[gervaisphil]

Hello,

Here's my setup:

CPU: 2600 i7

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P67A-D3-B3 (rev. 1.0)

RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance

Hard Drive 1: OCZ SATA 3 agility 3 60gb

HDD 2: Seagate Momentus 500 GB Hybrid

External Hard Drive: Western Digital 1tb 7200rpm

Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 285

Powersupply: Antec 650 watt eartwatt

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit

This computer will only do HD video editing and photoshop.
I will use Vegas Pro 10, CS5 Premiere, Photoshop CS5.

I wonder how I should configure all for having the best time rendering / processing for video editing etc..


1-All Programs on the Momentus Hybrid and I use the video file for ssd, I liberated when finished and transfer on my external hard drive.

or

2-Windows, Vegas, Premiere and Photoshop on the SSD, I do my video on the momentus

or

3-Windows on the SSD, the programs on the momentus and I use the rest of the ssd for video, which when finished ends on the external hard drive.

or

4 -??!



Thank you
Phil

Have you visited the Adobe forums? They have a guide for optimal performance. it includes a new section about ssd's.

Their ultimate recommendation is use one ssd for Windows 7 and applications. Use a second ssd as a scratch disk. Use a hard disk drive to store data.

if i dont have a ssd scratch disk...the best would be to choose

Windows (26gb) + Vegas (500mo)+ adobe premiere(1,5gb) + ssd scratch (32) on the ssd

and the rest always on the momentus

(wich give me 30gb for scratch until i have the money to buy another ssd)
