I frequently use DVDFab to archive my DVDs for storage and everyday viewing. I normally rip my DVDs to a standard hard drive, then convert the movie to AVI format. I use the same physical drive for both source and destination.
Today I ripped and converted a DVD as usual, but I used my SSD drive for both source and destination -- took 92 minutes. I copied the same rip to my standard hard drive and ran the same conversion process -- took 83 minutes. The computer wasn't doing anything else both times.
I was surprised that using the SSD actually took 9 minutes longer! I use standard 4k clusters on the SSD, but 64k clusters on the HD. Everything else about both conversions was identical.
Could the time difference have to do with the cluster sizes?
