Data Transfer Calculator

How long will it take my footage to offload?
Addtionally, if you know the bitrate of your codec you can calculate recording time.
For instance, 16:9 2.8K @ 24fps ARRIRAW records at 168 MB/s
Open Gate @ 24fps on an ALEXA 65 records at 737 MB/s

Common data rates:
SSD = 200 MB/s to 500 MB/s, typically 400 MB/s
HDD = 80-160 MB/s, typically 130 MB/s

Seeing slower speeds than this? Check that you’re using a fast enough cable and USB port.

 

Please refer to your source media type to determine the maximum read speed that you can copy at. Your destination drive / transfer method may not be the bottleneck.
