What is the capture speed using this 512GB drive? Is it as fast as the small 128GB drive? We are capturing a lot of video data at 100Hz and it is critical that it is fast. How many GB/second can it collect and how fast can it read?
Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Hz is a wave length not a storage transfer rate. If you are needing that much speed spend the money on a set of SSDs and a starter raid card (stay clear of the software raid).

As far as this drive goes the spec page lists the speeds
Sustained Sequential Read Up to 500 MB/s (SATA 6Gb/s)
Sustained Sequential Write Up to 260 MB/s (SATA 6Gb/s)

But I wouldn't count on getting those numbers. just a good reference point.

Check some of the other brands and types some have faster write speeds than others.

Now as far as the smaller vs the bigger on speed with SSD that really isn't much of an issue just check the spec page and find the speeds.
