Hello colleagues,
Ive been doing VJ for a long while with .MOV files and recently, converted all my clips to DXV 3, which made me start working with an external T1 Samsung with a read speed of 1000Mb's/sec via Type C cable. Had at least 10 gigs without any problem, and working smooth like never seen before (switching clips and working with 3 layers at the same time), but last gig i had some freezes for 5 seconds, the image freezed on the screen and i could delete from layers but the image on the ledwall was there, after 5 seconds video plays again.
Since im vjing, i've always heard that its better playing clips from the internal ssd storage, but with DXV it is complicated. In 2023 do you think this could be the problem?
Im always switching decks and i could have 1700 clips divided on multiple decks. I noticed that the SSD is very hot while playing.
Im working with a MBP 2017 i7 2.6Ghz , 16GB Ram, Radeon Pro 555.
256GB Internal memory.
Any help?
Thank you very much

Re: Freezes SSD Problem
do you mean a T7?

Seems might throttle when it gets too hot during continues use, u might want to try a cooler which the poster suggested.
Also check if there are no other devices that might be blocking the I/O temporarily in your device, for example a HDD that turns off after a certain amount of time, you can change that in your performance settings of your OS.

Re: Freezes SSD Problem
100% Recommend never to VJ from an external drive. Sure you can do it on occasion, but you're just asking for trouble.

Hello,
Yes it is a Samsung T7, and for what a been reading is one of the fastest external ssd's on the market, but soon i will try to avoid external disks. This happened because i only have 256GB on my MBP
Someone mentioned that is related to cache of the external disk because i removed all the big clips on decks like 3GB / 2GB that im not using a lot and yesterday had a VJ Show and worked without any problem or any feeze. I think with these external disks we cannot put big files on decks.
Many Djs have theulir own visuals with 4GB or 5GB, and might be the cause when we put all on decks like i was doing, causing more stress to the disk.
Thank a lot
