Identifying a source and restricting rows
Now you can click Finish and accept all the default options for the next two screens, or you can select
Next to move to the Processing and Storage Locations screen, as shown in Figure
12-12
. From this screen, you
can see that “Storage location” defines which hard drive and folder path the partition data is stored on. Notice
the drive letter in Figure
12-12
is currently C:\, which is also the drive used by the Windows operating system.
Placing partition folders on the same drive as the OS decreases performance, because Windows and SSAS must
then compete for access to hard drive resources. Placing a partition folder on its own hard drive and/or dividing
partition folders across mutiple hard drives are two common techniques for increasing performance.
