| | BitJazz Is SheerVideo faster than Flash memory?
Yes. The fastest Flash memory today can read and write 4.8 MB/s (megabytes per second). That's 32 times as fast as the original Flash memory (150 KB/s). Yet even on a mid-range CPU such as a 1 GHz G4, SheerVideo is 20 times faster (100 MiB/s) than the fastest Flash memory.
Yes. The fastest IBM Microdrive currently has a data transfer rate of 13.3 MB/s (megabytes per second), which is almost 8 times as fast as IBM's original Microdrive. But even on a medium-speed processor such as a 1 GHz G4, SheerVideo is 7 times faster (100 MiB/s) than the fastest Microdrive.
Yes. The fastest Compact Disk (CD) drive can read or write about 9.4 MB/s (megabytes per second). That's 64 times the speed of the original CD drive (146.5 KB/s). Still, even when running on an average-speed personal computer such as a single-processor 1 GHz Mac G4, SheerVideo is 10 times faster (100 MiB/s) than the fastest CD drive.
Yes, even on a single-CPU 1 GHz Mac G4 or comparable mid-range personal computer, SheerVideo is 5 times faster (100 MiB/s) than the fastest DVD drive. The transfer rate of the latest and fastest Digital Video Disk (DVD) drives is around 19 MB/s (megabytes per second), which is 16 times as fast as the original DVD drive (1.172 MB/s).
Yes, even on an ordinary personal computer such as a 1-processor 1 GHz Mac G4, SheerVideo is more than twice as fast (100 MiB/s) as the fastest hard disk drive (50 MB/s). On faster computers, SheerVideo outstrips hard disks by even more.
