However, we regularly experience ingest throughput of more than 70MByte/s over both SATA and USB3.0 interfaces, that is enough for real-time play of standard features at least as far as the interface is concerned. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

For instance, the Western Digital WD5000LPLX is a 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 500GB drive with 32MB cache.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-08-2016 07:44 PM                     The PDP-3000 external drive box for the GDC SX-3000 uses 2.5" 1 tb drives. The IMS also uses 2.5" drives but not to any advantage at all. Mark  |  IP: Logged
