Stream To Disk
Any one of the AutoDMA modes can be combined with a fast
disk drive to create a very efficient and low cost data
streaming system.
AlazarDSO Stream To Disk module (sold separately) allows
out-of-the-box disk streaming. No programming is required.
Note, however, that the speed with which data can be stored
to memory will be limited by the

2. PCI Express throughput supported by the
motherboard
3. Sustained Throughput of the disk drive

AlazarDSO includes a Disk Throughput Benchmarking tool,
using which you can quickly and easily see how fast your disk
drives are.
