Recommend SSD for recording 1080p 60fps w/Fraps?

KENDAWG2000 · Dec 7, 2014

Hi,
I made my first post yesterday asking about a HDD for video recording, both answers were recommending an SSD then transferring to an HDD for the best performance.

Now I am back again, I do not know much about SSD's, does anyone have a good recommendation for an SSD?

I would like one with decent size and speed.
*NOTE *A 4:20 video @1080p 60fps with Fraps on BioShock Inf took up 20GB!

Money is not that big of a deal, but I would not like to drain my pocket too much if I can.

Also if anyone has an Idea for a good bundle possibly, like a recommended SSD and an HDD that would help greatly!

Samsung 840 EVO 250GB or Crucial MX100 256GB

The Crucial MX100 512gb looks like a pretty good buy.

Liking the Samsung 840 EVO. Do you think 250gb would be good enough though?
If the math is right, If a 4:20 video is 20gb, then a 30 Min video would be about 140gb!

Samsung are really nice but you will benefit more with 512gb

i guess it s in RAW format . Convert it and delete the RAW file . Why do you need 30 min gameplay ? You and any one else will prefer to game not just watch . But if you wish , get 512GB .

Okay, so would the Samsung 500gb for $209.99 on amazon be more worth the 512gb Crucial MX100 for $199.99?

If you can get a 500gb Samsung for a good price go for it.

I was asking about a higher gb because when I tend to play games like Arma 3 and others where I like to catch clips. I do tend also to do 20 min videos which would prob be around 100gb.
So If I don't render or move the files right away, which I tend to do, I could see there being an issue when its needed.

i would get Samsung 840 EVO too

KENDAWG2000 · Dec 7, 2014

Thanks a bunch guys for all your help! The 500 GB Samsung is something that I will prob look into getting real soon.

For the HDD I could prob get by with something not so crazy. Ill look into that a bit as well. But thanks again!
