The footage I'm working with is actually screen capture, not from a camera.
Most of my footage is 3440x1440 @ 100FPS captured from my main display at a 250mb bitrate using FFmpeg.
I've seen the suggestion to not use my boot drive to store footage a couple times now, is this just a common known problem? Shouldn't a PCIe SSD like mine have plenty of bandwidth despite? Been looking to get another PCIe SSD, but someone also mentioned that they had problems with NVME M.2 drives in the past which seems weird to me as they are much faster than standard sata SSDs. Think storing footage seperately on this would help me?:HP EX920 M.2 1TB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 3D TLC NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) 2YY47AA#ABC - Newegg.com
Thank you for the suggestions.
Most video is 30 or 60fps, while you are pushing nearly 4K resolution at 100fps so that's a lot to ask of any computer for smooth playback, if you understand how Long-GOP formats get decoded.
It has always been suggested since NLE began that you should use fast, dedicated media drives for video content. The System drive is being accessed constantly by the operating system and by programs that are running. Premiere may also have temp and cache files being accessed from system drive as well. You want a drive that can focus on one thing, which is delivering frames of video without interruption.
Forget the m.2 business for video storage. If your case has room, install two high-performance 7200rpm SATA drives and set them up as RAID 0. Or get an external RAID 0 solution, using USB 3.0 or USB-C for example. Minimum. Think Seagate Barracuda or Western Digital Black. Times two.
Thanks
Jeff
