Will a ssd improve recording speed?

Whatisgoingonherethen · Oct 20, 2014

So i am currently recording gameplay to a HDD and often it drops to 40-50 fps if there's high action, I was wondering if I record to a SSD will this cease to happen and I will actually get a constant 60fps at all times?

Short answer, yes.

Long answer. If the rest of your system is not fast enough to actual write to the SSD at that speed. Then the bottleneck is elsewhere.

Mmm...what is your cpu/mb? an average mechanical drive should be able to keep up with the recording you describe.

cpu is i5 4670k and HDD is caviar black @ 170mb/s

Mmm...perfect gaming CPU but when it's load moves high(fast action) then it's likely the cause of your recording slow down. Obviously a SSD might help but I'm still thinking the issue lies with CPU. How much ram?

HDDs can generally write at 100-150mb/s, but SSDs on average reach 400-500mb/s (just for reference) so that can eliminate data transfer bottlenecks as long as nothing else is a bottleneck to your system.
