External SSD or fast SD card. Which is best for video editing?
by BobNutfield from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5E9KQ)
Hello Everyone
Wasn't sure where to post this, but it is a hardware question, so....
I am learning video editing and I need to store all of my source files and proxy files to an external storage device. All the editing forums tell me to use a fast external SSD, which is quite expensive. This is for editing drone footage and I have a number of fast U3 SD cards lying around.
What would be the advantage (aside from the storage space) of an SSD over an SD card?
Thanks for any replies
