alt Hacker News~370 MB/sec of raw data.[...]This is next to impossible to deal with.[...]You can't move it anywhere fast. Even SSDs have trouble dumping this straight from RAM to Disk
Always interesting to see what happened in ten years --- 370MB/s is well below what the slowest NVMe SSD can do today, and easily achieved over a 5Gbps Ethernet connection.
Incidentally, H.264 patents have either expired or will be expiring soon: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Have_the_patents_for_H.264_M...
On average, yes. But without hiccups: only very few NVMe drives can do this over really long runs without stalls. I've been working a lot with high rate SDR earlier this year and it took a lot of testing of different drives to find one that did not have this issue. I was quite surprised because you'd think that the underlying mechanism, if it works at all should be able to work sustainably but once every 10 minutes or so there would be a (brief) stall which would cause the SDR to start dropping data because it wasn't serviced fast enough. The only one that didn't do this was the 'Lexar SSD NM1090 PRO 4TB', which was surprising because it was one of the cheaper ones that I tried.
