Crucial BX100 500GB SSD: Photo Transfer Speed Test vs Hard Drive
A real-world look at a Crucial BX100 500GB 2.5-inch SSD, tested against a spinning hard drive and a Kingston 256GB SSD by copying the same batch of Nikon D750 raw photos and video. Everything runs over USB 3.0 enclosures on a Mac, using Photo Mechanic to ingest the same ~5GB card three times. No stopwatch here, just eyeballing the difference for a real photography field workflow.
