60 different codecs and compression settings on 3 different single drive systems.
Playback is on 1 layer only. Results do not scale to multiple layers
NOTE: System disc is NOT the drive disc.
Tested
Single Raptor 74GB
Single 10k SCSI Atlas iV
Single 15k SCSI
Results:
Different drive Systems are pretty similiar.
10k drive is not slower than 15k drive.
Raptor is slower at uncompressed data - but pretty similiar with compressed codecs. ( Blackmagic codecs are uncompressed )
