![]() ![]() ![]() Even a single SSD is more than fast enough to support any file creation or export from an NLE. Read speeds (playback) are more important to media editing than write speeds (recording.)įor example, depending upon codec, frame size, and frame rate, the export speed of an NLE will vary from 8 MB/s to 200 MB/s. So, a single SSD is about three times faster than a single HDD. This speed was measured on an OWC Mercury Extreme Pro SSD, using the AJA System Test Lite software. This compares to about 125 MB/s for a traditional spinning media hard disk drive (HDD). High cost, compared to the same storage capacity on an HDDĪ single SSD transfers data around 400 MB/second (MB/s).Low storage capacity, compared to an HDD.SSDs have about the same life-span as an HDD. SSDs store data electronically, not magnetically. SSDs get warm in use, but not as warm as an HDD. Small size combined with light weight make them easy to move. An SDD running at full-tilt is dead quiet. Drop an SSD and it is likely to keep working. But they have other desirable qualities as well: The principle reason for buying an SSD is superior performance. But, as I learned over the course of these reviews, SSDs are different and you need to know the differences to make the most of this new and much faster technology. In the past, I considered SSDs just faster versions of standard spinning media hard drives (HDD). Recently, I wrote two product reviews of SSD storage systems from OWC: (Updated 8/11/17 to include a link explaining Apple’s new File System.) ![]()
