|
 |
hello tits!
im finaltracking my album on a pc, http://www.frostacm.com/ "snömachine" of some sort. i have managed to waste my support, or rather i dont think im welcome there anymore for reasons
so anyway im tracking in cubase 5 win7 64x but i think cubase is running at 32x, and sometimes i get this lag, like once every 30 minutes. if i listen i can hear the noise of a harddrive "waking up" kinda. There are two harddrives, one SATA and one old IDE that i have to use cus i have a bunch of samples on it
CPU and memory are both fine, far from limit so it's def a harddrive lag
Does this have anything to do with wakeup and hibernation settings in win7?
any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

My Drives go to sleep when im not accessing them, but once accessed they are up and running smoothly. So why you have hw lag i really have no exact ansver to that

you can set your HD sleep settings in power options
http://windows7support247.blogspot.com/2011/02/turn-off-hard-disk-when-idle-or-never.html
having HD turn on and off again will wear it down due to heat expansion and contraction
google did a survey on HD lifetimes some time ago and concluded that it's better to just keep it running all the time
if however you get lag and hear click noises when your HD was NOT in sleep mode, backup your data quick before the drive dies

I got a bit interested in what you said and looked this up. Is this what you are referring to? If so, I can't see anything in this paper that would support what you said. Not calling you out, just wondering if I missed something.

figure 4 on page 6
lower average temp(lots of sleeping) shows drastic increase in drive failures
appears keeping in in the thirties would be the sweet spot over the lifetime
