If I were going to build a portable PC for multi-TB video recording, what would you recommend, given the following "requirements":
I was thinking maybe a SFF case with a microATX/ITX board, if I could find one with a hot-swappable SATA drive bay.
The 2TB SSDs are pricey, but they would meet the write-bandwidth required. And if they are hot-swappable, maybe I can throw them in a drive duplicator to copy them to cheaper spinning drives (~120MB/s), then reuse them.
Or maybe I just go to [someplace].com and buy [some item]? But I have no idea what the item would be.
Thoughts?
- ~200MB/s sustained disk write (preferable in a single drive) for the video capture
- 2-8 TB of (quickly removable) disk space
- As small as possible (portable, preferable with carrying handle)
- At least 1 PCIe slot for a half-height (2U) video capture card (preferably 2)
- Built-in video output
- Fast way to transfer the video to larger, long-term storage
