A colleague suggested that shredding 415,500 files at a time using ‘Secure Empty Trash’ [ OS X 10.4.10 ] Should be discussed openly …
Let me elucidate:
After considerable soul-searching, and no little trouble with a predecessor [ GoLive CS ] I purchased the Upgrade Edition of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. My Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5, 2 GB DDR SDRAM had only a 149.04 GB with 47.06 GB available- Roughly 33.33%. Experience dictates that before
loading the new application, certainly before running it, I needed to transfer all ‘archived’ files to an external, in this case a 189.8 Gb with 98.9 GB available Maxtor OneTouch III Firewire 400.
I started finding, copying, verifying, and deleting all the archived files. Pictures. Movies. Music. Documents. Magazines. eBooks. PDF’s etc. As I went along I thought that any file with an extention attached is in essence archived. When I was approximately twenty-five percent into this process, I hit ‘Secure Empty Trash’.
There were 415,500 files in the cue.
So far we are progressing at approximately 10,388 files per hour.
Given that data alone- Conversations are in order. Would you not agree?
Just to update, Finished all the cleaning and shredding. Had another 150,000 files in the second & last batch. I now have 117.74 GB available [ Used 31.29 GB including the Adobe Suite 3 Master Collection ]. I gained 70.68 GB in that excercise. Don’t try that at home .
