I have upgraded to a 6 core PC with Windows 7 Professional as follows:
ASUS P9X78 Deluxe Motherboard
Intel i7 3930 CPU
DDR3 1600 32G RAM
1 Samsung MZ-7PD256BW R 256G SSD (C drive)
2 1TB 7200rpm SATA HD RAID (E drive)
2 1TB 7200rpm SATA HD RAID (F drive)
Nvidia GTX660 2G Video
The D drive was allocated to the LG Super Multi DISC drive but, apart from the C drive, the others can be realloacted.
I understand that that read/writes to SSD drives should be minimized if possible for a longer life span. My Documents can be reallocated from the SSD drive to one of the other 2 drives. I have started a project to find that the Scratch Discs are subject to allocation to My Documents under what appears to be a Private restriction.
I do not have experience on the better allocation of resources for speed on the 6-core PC as shown. I have spent a number of years allowing the default allocation of files while attempting to distribute concurrent reads and writes to 4 1TB drives on a 4-core PC without much experience.
Perhaps some allocations are fixed by Premier Pro. How should I allocate the following on the E and F drives?
- Source files for Video and Audio
- Project Files
- Scratch Discs
- Preview Files
- Encoded Files
- Rendered Files
