◉
Current buffer usage

Note:
The amount of dropped data depends on the data storage throughput
and the amount of allocated memory buffer. Disk arrays or SSDs can
drastically improve capture performance.
In high bandwidth utilization scenarios, a bigger buffer size
accommodates more data to be temporarily stored into the computer’s
memory before being saved to the file, helping to avoid captured data
being dropped.

Enabling this option makes the capture overwrite the same file (or files,
depending on the “Number of Files to Use” option) after reaching the
