AJA has released its System Test Lite v17.0.1 which is now available in the macOS App Store. It features new UI improvements and multi-terabyte disk system testing.
If you are not familiar AJA’s System Test Lite it is a great way to test a storage system to check real world speeds of hard drives and camera media, and it was designed with digital video production and post production needs in mind. It emulates the writing and reading of video files to and from a hard disk and displays the results in a simple, easy to read format, by either data rate or frame rate, including graphs to show performance over time. The latest edition has been tuned to provide more accurate results for SSDs.
Users can specify resolutions, color spaces, bit depths, compression types and file container types, to emulate their specific digital video production/post workflow, and do preliminary evaluation to see if their storage system will support it, before practical workflow testing begins.
