Usb 3.0 external Drive

Ok the faqs say don't use a usb 2.0 drive for the clips. But what about an external usb 3.0 drive or external ssd is this fast enough ?
In the other results the Hard drive is mostly mentioned as wellyochee wrote:Model: ASUS K53SV (Mid2011 Laptop without USB3.0 or eSATA)
OS: Win7 Home Premium 64Bit
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT540M - 2048MB DDR3 RAM
Harddisk see below
CPU: Intel Core i5-2410M CPU @2.30GH
Memory: 8GB Ram
Resolume: 4.1.8
Output Setup: internal 1366x768 and external 1680x1050
(btw: i usually use a 2400x800 external setup)
-------------------------
Harddrive: external 1tb HDD 5400rpm (2") via USB2.0
480p:
clean 16
noise 4
1080p:
clean 4
noise 1
----------
Harddrive: external 300GB HDD 7200rpm via USB2.0 (Maxtor 6 V300F0)
480p:
clean 20
noise 5
1080p:
clean 5 (i can hear you )
noise 1
----------
Harddrive: external 500GB HDD 7200rpm via USB2.0 (TrekStor WD5000AAJB-00UHA)
480p:
clean 20
noise 5
1080p:
clean 5
noise 1
same with internal SD Card Reader & 3TB HDD
----------
Harddrive: internal 120GB SSD (Intel SSD SC2CT120A3 // SSD 330 series)
480p:
clean 20+
noise 20+
1080p
clean 5 (29,35fps)
noise 5 (28,63fps)
--> bottle neck with external USB2.0 harddrive @ 480p. performs best with internal SSD
--> almost no difference at 1080p with internal harddrive between clean & noisy clips (bottleneck GPU i guess)
--> interesting: with 6 clips 480p clean the framerate almost drops to 35fps, when starting another clips the fps get faster again. maybe then the GPU turns on?!
--> i usually use 800x600 clips or bigger. only a few old 480p clips have survived
--> not bad for a three year old 600€ consumer lappy
Been using a custom build drives. Buy an m.2 board and an enclosure. Best performance and bang for buck.Pasha Malik wrote: ↑Thu Aug 09, 2018 07:05 can any one suggest me which external drive should i buy. it must be credible.
USB3 tops out at 640MBps and sata SSD's hit around 550MBps, so you're 90MBps short of hitting your bottleneck.cvanhoose wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 21:06Been using a custom build drives.

Has been great through the years of use. I have a handful of them
Another great option is to build mSata drives if you are on a budget.Arvol wrote: ↑Sat Aug 11, 2018 00:04Great suggestion cvanhoosecvanhoose wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 21:06Been using a custom build drives.
