SSD for Recording: Why It Helps

A fast SSD keeps recordings smooth, especially at high quality. Learn why disk speed matters and how to check yours.

The short answer

A fast SSD writes recordings without stutter, especially at high quality. A slow disk can cause choppy files, so check the disk speed before a long session.

How to do it in Streamdzy

  1. Start with the camera and microphone you already own, and test them in Streamdzy with a short recording.
  2. Add one piece of gear at a time, and check the change in the picture or the sound before buying the next.
  3. Use the webcam test and the microphone test to measure what you have, before you spend money.
  4. Use the Health check to see whether your PC can handle the extra camera.

What to know first
