I just want to ask a question about storage.
What is the best storage solution (in term of hardware and configuration) for a PC based video surveillance application?
My app writes constantly frame by frame and occasionally burst writing for certain operation. This happens for each video channel (up to 64) configured. If i want to install this on a RAID system. What RAID level is the best for constant small writes and occasional (every 5 minutes) burst in write (excluding the read operation ofthe user)?
The app change file every 5 minutes, and the writing is about 10k per frame. The app is configurable to run from 1 to 25 fps per channel up to 64 channel (never used so far…)
My worries are about fragmentation and disk accesses. Is better to use one-write large buffer instead of single 10k frames?
Thanks, sorry for my bad english.
