15. Blackmagic Disk Speed Test If you want to check your disk array speed Blackmagic Disk Speed Test can be run to check the array speed and to provide the results in video frame rates This makes it much easier to understand how various disk arrays will handle video capture and playback at various video resolutions and frame rates Disk Speed Test provides more accurate results for large disk arrays as often the manufacturer provided speed results only check small data blocks so you only get an indication of the cache speed of the disk and not the sustained data rate of the disk Video uses sustained data rates and only Disk Speed Test provides a long burst of data for more accurate results When using Disk Speed Test you need to account for disk seeking so it s best to add a healthy margin to the results If a disk array tests at 32 frames per second HD 1080 it doesn t mean you can do 29 95 HD capture and playback as the margin is too tight However it should do 24 fps ok Disk arrays If you intend to run your disk array as a software stripe you will need to make sure that host RAID is disabled Use the Disk Management tool in Computer Management within Windows to set up your software RAID or refer to third party instructions when using pre configured hardware RAIDs Further information can be obtained via the Windows Help and Support Search and review the section on Dynamic Disks This section will provide you with information
