SSD
When working with high data rate video it's important to carefully check the SSD you would
like to use. This is because some SSDs can have up to 50% lower write speed than the
manufacturer's claimed speed, so even though the disk specifications claim an SSD is fast
enough to handle video, in reality the disk is not fast enough for real time video recording.
Hidden data compression mostly affects recording and often these disks can still be used for
real time playback.
In our testing, we have found larger newer models of SSD and larger capacity SSDs are
generally faster. SSDs recommended for use include:
