Case Study 1:
An engineer found that the reason for slow application speed of his CATIA V5 CAE was a temporary file the program was making. By using the Platinum HDD, the engineer was able to reduce application time by 30-40% without changing the application at all.
Details:
- Environment:
- CPU: Intel Xeon 3.6 GHz Dual Processor
- Memory: 4GB (CAD/CAE application uses 3GB)
- OS: Windows XP Pro
- HDD: Ultra SCSI 320 (10,000 rpm, cost: $900)
- Usage:
-
This workstation reads CATIA and Data from a main server via a LAN
