| 100 MB/sec is typical for a magnetic hard drive. 300 MB/sec is typical for a single SSD. If the data rate is too high for a single SSD, use SSDs in RAID0 configuration (e.g. 4 SSDs in RAID0 can achieve >1 GB/s). Lately M.2 drives with PCIe interface with comparable speeds to a RAID0 with SSDs have become available and might be a good option. To benchmark your PC's hard drive write speed you can use [[http://crystalmark.info/?lang=en | Crystal Disk Mark]]. I'm pretty sure the relevant score to diSPIM acquisition is the "Seq" "Write" score (Sequential (Block Size=1MiB) Read/Write with single Thread), at least for Micro-manager software with typical acquisition settings. | 100 MB/sec is typical for a magnetic hard drive. 300 MB/sec is typical for a single SSD.

| | Light sheet can generate lots of data very quickly, and it is important to have a plan to deal with the deluge. This often involves support from the institution's IT department. A helpful discussion of the challenges and options is the article [[https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.07631v1|Biologists need modern data infrastructure on campus]]. |
