I do a lot of long format programming here and the hard drives fill up rather quickly. I believe there is a monitoring tool to watch this kind of thing, but its location is eluding me. Can some kind soul point the way?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mikey,

I don't know if this is what you're thinking of, but you can see how full hard drives are in the Hardware Tool.

good luck,
Carl

Carl is correct. The hardware tool is what you're looking for to monitor drive space.

wow that was quick- just what i was looking for

thanks

 You're quite welcome. We're here to help.

 hai. I think you are not cleared the tmp files that's remove tmp files in all drive .and then run defragment tool chek the analys if it's asking to defrag then do . it's not asking then close the window ( defragment becase if system is slowly working condition not for all condition. if suggest by the analys only)

Hi,

Papu, you're not supposed to defrag media drives.  Search the Knowledge Base for "defragment" and read the note at the bottom to see why.

good luck,
Carl 

 yes please.

frnd i told that remove "tmp" files then why i told to defragment the disk becuse of disk seed improvements because all of over information is stored in clusters. when all the clusters of a file is stored in consecutive sector then it is fragmented but when the cluster which make a files is scattered across the disk then the file or the disk is said to be fragmented. as it takes the read/write head longer to read the file scatterd across the disk surface a fragmented file takes longer to load comapared to unfragmented file. so i suggested. when we have some problem then v came out then also v need some time for relaxation perpus thats y .

papu:

then run defragement for all drive. then go on.

NEVER EVER defrag your media drives!! The media Avid creates is deliberately broken into media stream fragments which are scattered across a drive, partition or drive array for accurate storage, retrieval, cueing and seamless playback in real time. You may defrag your system drive should you feel it necessary to do so.
