Question

SATA SSD (2TB) recommendation for pro workflow in 4k please

hello

 

would someone have a recommendation for a special "film" 2TB SSD (SATA6 formfactor, internal, JBOD raid, "T3" from "caldigit", thunderbolt 2) for 4k workflow in premiere pro CC2020?

 

i am asking, cause i thought, that the consumer (TLC) ssd´s are not suitable for a heavy workflow, where large files are written to disc every minute, and one project has 500GB footage? overall at least 1TB data read/write per working day (8h), for commercial movies, cutting and colorgrading, source footage will come from very different cameras, drones ect.. only in 4k.

 

i ve read, i need a "Pro" SSD, is that true?

and the buffer in consumer ssd´s is not suitable, maybe, as full very fast and then the ssd is probably slower.

 

- better SLC or MLC than TLC

- 3D VNand important?

 

otherwise i will get the "samsung 860 Pro 2TB"

 

thanks

thanks for moving. 

 

what do you think of the "samsung 860 Pro 2TB" or 4TB?

is it suitable for heavy workloads of 4k video footage? the ssd will write and read permanently. thats how it is built for, especially the pro edition, if i got it right?

I've moved this to the Video Hardware forum where you might get better advice.
