sustainable read speed for SSD possible?

[froky]

Yeah, got quite a bit frustrated there myself and forgot to ask...

And you have been answered already: modern SSDs can read at 500MB+ per second. What else is there to discuss...?

USB adapters for SSDs, aside from the scenario which mikeymikec mentioned (other USB devices in use), will they manage these speeds as well? Are there good/bad adapters depending on the speed you need, or just the same ''pieces of plastic and metal''?

And a new one: what about having a custom slot on the case for plugging an SSD directly and using an adapter only when transfering file from the user's PC to the SSD? Any issues with this kind of approach (consequences of unsecurely removing SSD vs USB?)

Speed depends heavily on controllers at both ends. Bellow you can see how the three controllers on an X99 board behave in sequential reads: one from VIA, one from AS Media, and the Intel controller on the PCH. In fact, even if we ignore the 128KB sequential read test, only one USB 3.0 controller manages to come close to your specs. Also, this test show average, not minimum speeds.

If the SATA controller supports hot swapping, SATA solution is likely better.

You should get un-frustrated if you're asking for help, because frankly your response is rude to the people that are trying to help you.

I have two decades of experience doing video work. What you are proposing won't work. Now if you would like me to expand on why a PC can't consume video at 3gbs I'll explain it to you if you would at least be civil.

Thanks, but I'll pass.
If you think I'm being ''uncivil'' towards you, then read the posts before replying next time. You make me repeat what I've said in the very first sentence of the very first post in this thread and ask questions instead yourself, that is filling up the thread with unnecessary posts which doesn't help at all and I don't need that. Just because you replied doesn't mean you're helping, and I'm talking to you specifically, no need to use "we" as if there's anyone else here doing that.
You can have as many decades of experience as you want, that is irrelevant here. We are playing back uncompressed animated volumetric data stored as a video file at those rates and we don't get any issues frankly. I don't need an explanation on why something which works won't work. That is not the question, again, you're trying to start a different discussion when there's a specific question asked (post 26, an answer is below it, right above your reply).
