What are the performance of stream to disk on a PCI-5112? Has someone benchmarked it once?

[FredT]

I need to stream 30MS/s for 2minutes on a hard drive. Anyone did that? What was the platform and the results?
Thanks, fred

Fred,

We have benchmarked the PCI-5112 to stream 20MS/s for longer than 2 minutes in the past, but we have not tested this piece of hardware in an optimal system to date. We hope to perform these same benchmarks in a new machine very soon (once we get it built). I hope to post those findings to this website or to your personal email address when they are complete. Please be patient.
Thanks

Fred,

The fastest we have been able to stream to disk with the PCI 5112 is 25MS/s on a machine that can stream raw data to disk at 130+MS/s. One thing to keep in mind is that you can't actually get 30MS/s for you sample rate with the 5112. The valid sample rates are 100/n MS/s where n is an integer value. Therefore, if you enter 30MS/s for your sampling rate, you will get 33MS/s for the actual sample rate.
