I was curious if anyone can recommend an SSD hard drive for editing.
Currently my editing laptop has the C: drive - 120GB Intel 510 Series Solid State Drive (SSD2 Serial-ATA III). My "editing" drive is G: Western Digital WD Scorpio Black 750 GB SATA 3 GB/s 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache Internal.
So far editing footage on the WD drive using Premiere Pro CS6 has been OK but I was curious if anyone in the community can recommend an SSD drive to replace it to achieve faster renders and overall speed.
I did some research and discovered that there are two drives that match the speed/reliability/capacity I'm looking for. It the Crucial M500 960GB (MLC) and the Samsung 840 500GB (not the PRO edition) (TLC).
I hear TLC vs MLC is much slower but somehow Samsung got it to be fast.
Here is the Samsung 840 500GB stats:
Sequential Read 530 MB/s
Sequential Write 330 MB/s
Here is Crucial M500 960GB stats:
Sequential Read 500 MB/s
Sequential Write 400 MB/s
What are your thoughts?
Thanks
