7/5/2023 0 Comments Resilio sync ssd cache![]() I have a >1MM photos and I can find any photo I've ever taken within about 30 - 45 seconds. There is no perfect workflow and it's highly personal, but mine has been refined around synology for a high volume photographer's perspective over about a 5 year period. Obviously, a solid 3-2-1 backup plan for your Syno is still required.Keep all your negatives if desired (I do) but don't burden LR Catalog with the overhead. Cull like an absolute SAVAGE before you even bring photos into LR.(I snapshot every 30 min, and it has saved my bacon more than once when I fatfingered and applied a mass edit to 500 images etc.) Run BTRFS snapshots on your catalog continuously during your normal editing time period.Keep catalog and library synced continuously to syno via Synology Drive.if you have enough local HDD space you can keep your library local as well or on a USB drive (what I do).Keep your catalog and previews cache locally on your SSD.Folder organization to the extreme, with a naturally sorted date-location schema.The other post is more LR focused than syno focused but key elements are included. Always do file management once imported from LR itself, so that you don't break any of the location info links. I'm assuming that if you already use LR, you are aware that it is a cardinal sin to move Library files around outside of LR. Think of your Library as a collection of Negatives (RAW files), organized systematically. Think about your Catalog as a relational database which references your negatives and applies edit metadata, keywords, location etc to those files. (I'm a professional photographer with over 7TB in my catalog) I published a pretty detailed description of my workflow here in a different sub. Another option (what I do on my travel laptop) is run your catalog off a a 2TB Samsung SSD via USB C. My Pixel6Pro has twice as much memory as your Surface PRo and I would argue that you might want to consider running LR Cloud on that machine syncing to a more capable machine running LR Classic if you have one.Go to your settings and set your preferences to automatically delete 1:1 previews after 30 days (this isn't super reliable and you might need to manually delete the previews folder periodically).you can rebuild 1:1's for the files you are working on when you restart. With LR closed, it is totally save to delete the Lightroom Catalog **** Previews.lrdata folder.Ensure that you click optimize and backup when you close your catalog.You are seeing your previews file and previews cache. That's small on Syno scale and even modern day HDD scale. My current catalog is over 300K photos and my *lrcat file is 2.6GB. ![]()
