Hi everyone,
[I'll be walking through what I've done thus far, so you can skip to the end for what I'm actually asking]
I have Blackmagic UltraStudio 3D ( http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/ultrastudio3d/ ) that I would like to use to record some uncompressed 1080p59.94 video. However, after trying several different products only to come up short every time, I'm desperate to find a solution (I really probably should've asked first, but being somewhat tech savvy, I thought I could do it myself.. oh well).
So first off, I have a late 2011 15-inch MBP (I upgraded it with 16GB of RAM and an Intel 520 Series 480GB SSD) that I tried to do this with, but I could only achieve a read/write speed of ~500/290 MBps. I also have some OCZ Vertex 4 512GB SSDs ( http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-vertex-4-sata-iii-2-5-ssd.html#specifications ) at my disposal, so I thought that maybe I could use some kind of Thunderbolt device to achieve higher read/write speeds.
I made the big mistake of picking up the Drobo Mini, which has Thunderbolt support. Just to really make sure I have the power necessary, I also picked up a Crucial m4 256GB mSATA SSD, so that this thing would be beefed up. However, after getting everything setup and ready, the Drobo Mini benchmarked at a miserable ~300/230 MBps, worse than my internal drive! After doing more research on Drobo (blogs, reviews and http://www.drobo.com/how-it-works/performance-professional.php ), I've decided to give up on Drobo and go elsewhere.
I was looking into other RAID arrays, such as LaCie 2big (and other ones I found here: https://thunderbolttechnology.net/products?tid=1&field_company_nid=All ), but I'm pretty discouraged at this point and would sincerely appreciate a nudge in the right direction from someone who actually knows what they're doing. =P
Long story short, are there any Thunderbolt devices out there that I can pop in my SSDs to achieve the advertised 560/510 MBps read/write speeds? Or if not using my drives, something that will allow me to get very fast read/write speeds?
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!
Bryan
