Title: SSD for Galleries, how to set it up Post by: juanpmar on October 16, 2012, 07:11:20 pm Today I got a SSD that I´m going to use only for Galleries.
I have some questions: - There is a new firmware that I´d like to install in the SSD, to do it I have to download first .NET Framework 4. Those are a group of Windows Updates. Since it is better to not have Windows Updates should I install them?. I could stay with the current firmware even it is not the latest. - How should I have to format this drive?, in the pendrive I was using for Galleries I had exFat and allocation size 64K. - What´s minimum value I should give to the CoverArt Resize Size to keep it in the Galleries without loss?.

.Net4 shouldn't be a problem, and otherwise you can uninstall it again afterwards. About the firmware : it may be good to Google for what it's for, including what it may cause. Firmware on SSDs *is*important and is ubject to change because of inconsistencies with the OS. By now it could be about Windows 8 ... FWIW : I always format the SSD NTFS 512 bytes (the most files in there are a few dozen bytes only). Quote What´s minimum value I should give to the CoverArt Resize Size to keep it in the Galleries without loss?. IIRC the defaults as how XXHighEnd presents them. "Not a loss" is a big word, because this will be about "invisible" at the size you will look at it. But in the end it is about "zooming". So, a 10000 x 10000 image can be zoomed up to having one word in the screen (from the small printed booklet). But what for ?

The new SSD firmware is for: Improved Trim response time Improved power-on-to-ready time (known as POR, or TTR for Time-to-ready) Improved resume-time from low power modes, and improved reliability of warm reboot Improved power consumption by disabling HIPM (Host Initiated Power Management) I don´t know if it has any importance for Galleries, probably not and maybe it is mostly if the OS is installed on it. So far I´m going to use the SSD the way it comes from factory to see how it works. About how to resize the Coverart the idea is to have those jpg in the Galleries occupying as little space as possible without loss of quality. Could you tell me please how to do it and what values I have to give to the CoverArt Resize Size? (in case this is the place where I have to do it).
