my electronic literacy is not terribly high
curious if having a video rendering program writing to the very SSD it's "reading" the video file that it is rendering or compressing, if that hinders or slows that SSD's read/write rates.
I've always rendered, reading the original video file on one SSD, and then writing the rendered copy to another SSD. Both SSDs are what i call "work table" drives, not the OS SSD. Recently noticed on of my programs had somehow changed directory instructions so it was rendering to the very SSD the original file was located on. I hadn't seen any increase or reduction in rendering times.
This was on the computer set up described in my signature. I then tried it on another system with a 4 core i7-4790 w/16 gb of ram and ran a video file first writing from one SATA SSD to a 2nd SATA SSD, I Then tried rendering it to the very SSD the orig file was located on - and saw no difference in rendering time
Have i been assuming wrong all these years. Is there any reason i should use two different SSDs for rendering, or am i okay staying with one?
FYI, while rendering on the main system in my sig, with 8 core cpu, cpu usage is showing 85-92% load
