  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Transfer Rate Tests (USB 3, SSD, eSATA SSD Dock, 2x SSD RAID 0, NAS etc)

Rob,

This seems pretty slow for USB 3.0. I am getting 175MS/S both ways on a mobile 4TB CalDigit VR2 Drive.

Very tentative results. It's the first time we played with R3D on our machine.
R3D 5k (5120x2700). www.footage-online.de/free/red-footage.html
The test file is small (7 seconds, 600MB) so most likely it gets cached in RAM.
In fact the speed of storage probably does not matter here as we got the same results for all three kinds tested.


MacPro 12-core/64GB RAM/Quadro fx5600/ML 10.8.2,
(3 kinds of storage were tested :Sonnet2x 1300Mbyte/sec read RAID5 ,
3xSSD internal 600Mbyte/sec read, xsan/fc 420 Mbyte/sec read)

RESOLVE: full res--7fps
1/2 res--22 fps
1/4 res--23fps
PREMIERE: ful res--unwatchable
1/2 almost good
1/4 perfect

Then we attached CUBIX with 3x gtx680

RESOLVE: ful res 21-22 fps even when adding nodes of blur
1/2 res 22-23fps
PREMIERE: same performance as without Cubix

Next week we'll try longer/bigger clip to saturate RAM.
Also we'll try to put gtx680 as the main GPU to see if Premiere improves with it.
There are some glitches to work out too (with Cubix, cards etc)

Robert,

thank you for sharing this !

Did you by any chance test 4K playback with this setup ?

Just for interest..
bought a Lenovo K430 i7 3.4. 16gb ram, 2 nvidia gt 640 cards and running an external stripe raid0 of 2 7200 HDDs off usb3. I'm getting sustained 200MB transfer speeds too. This is transferring 4k footage from internal SSS to raid.

I can work with 4k timelines in PPro in 1/4 no worries and 1/2 if I wait a couple of seconds.. Well under $1.5k for it all.

regards

SK
 
Not bad for 1.5k. It's about the same playback res as my Mac Pro that cost 10k+
