In regards to hardware, does anyone know how much the new ultra-wide,
ultra-fast scuzzi's improve performance? I have a P-2 450 with a 10,000 rpm 9
gig Seagate Cheetah with Adaptec's fastest scuzzi, and it seems that TS 4.0
runs all my programs well. I have Advanced Get RT running as well as TS 4.0
I have at least nine charts running in AGet and 5 windows in TS with several
charts in each window with dual monitors through Win 98 with no delay. I use
BMI sat, and as a means of comparison with posts previously, I got 3722 ticks
on DSP9M today (3/30).
Midnight updates through BMI take about 10 minutes to stop working the hard
drive. It seemed to take about as long with my former 200 mghz with similar
scuzzi. I only run 190 symbols, but I store 5,000 days of each, including
all tick data. Would I see the hard drive work less with dual processors,
dual HD scuzzi's, in RAID array, or is the advantage mostly in backup on the
second drive?
