Hello,
I wish to start recording gameplay in 1080p 60fps to an external drive (internal in a caddy/enclosure) with usb 3.0. I keep reading a lot of mixed opinions some stating to use an ssd so as not to get a bottleneck, others stating to use a hdd because an ssd will burn out fast if used for daily recording, and is not really needed as a hdd can keep up. Which is true?
In case it makes a difference, my specs are:
i7 4790
nvidia gtx 980 ti 6gb ram
32 gb ram
240 gb ssd (boot)
4 tb 7,200 rpm hdd
The games will be stored and run on the 4 tb 7,200 hdd.
If the ssd is good, what size would be recommended? I don't plan on keeping the video on it, it will be moved to the 4tb hdd as soon as I'm done from that gaming session. (usually about 2 hours)
Thank you for any clarifications
