Choosing a Fast 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 a lower sustained write speed than the manufacturer's
claimed speed, so even though a disk specification can claim an SSD is fast enough to handle video,
in reality the disk may not be fast enough for real time video recording.
Use Blackmagic Disk Speed Test to accurately measure whether your SSD will be able to handle
uncompressed video capture and playback. Blackmagic Disk Speed Test uses data to simulate
the storage of video so you get results similar to what you'll see when capturing video to a disk.
During Blackmagic testing, we have found newer, larger models of SSD and larger capacity SSDs
are generally faster.
We have provided a table showing SSDs that have tested reliable for video recording and playback.
From a quick glance you can see which SSD is fast enough to handle a chosen format.
Please check the tech notes at the Blackmagic Design support center for the latest information.
