Videographers shooting raw 4k to 8k video are using A LOT of storage capacity for their creative projects. And they also need the performance from an SSD while they edit their projects.įor example, one minute of raw footage in 8k full format is about 4 GB, according to Red’s Red Ranger camera shooting in 24 frames per second and a 10:1 redcode ratio.Īny office data or home data used for storing general information (documents, financial records, health records, etc.) could use a hard drive. We’ve also seen a huge uptick in the multimedia industry for SSD usage. No more “warming up” the computer for 5 minutes. No more waiting 30 seconds for a program to load. Its fast access makes the overall experience snappier and streamlined. One typical use of an SSD includes using it as the primary operating drive for your computer. The advantage of an SSD is faster access to data by using memory chips rather than a physical spinning disk that’s found in hard drives.

Think of a USB thumb drive (aka flash drive) that can store a lot of information.
