Just a follow-up, for anyone wondering:
The system worked flawlessly. And, as expected, a SATA-3 SSD is not fast
enough to store a dual, 200 MSps (6.4 Gbps x 2) stream from an X310 on the
fly, but saving files to RAM works great for now.
By the way, a quick advice for everyone: always check the m
Hello Neel,
We have not bought it yet, as the project is currently on hold. I'll let
you guys know how it works out if we do.
About the SSDs: I was not considering them important because given the
nature of the work, we would be fine with saving small bursts on a buffer
in SDRAM. But if we did wa
Hello Leo:

it should be powerful enough, as long as the clock rate were high enough,
you have enough memory, and you use SSD disks.
Did you end up buying the system? If so, how has it performed?

Hey everybody,
We're about to buy a new computer to work with an USRP X310, using dual 10
Gbps SFP+ Ethernet connections through a PCIe card (we need to reach full
200 MSps). I've seen at Ettus you "use a desktop computer with a quadcore
i7, 8+ GB of DDR3".
We are planning on buying an AMD platfo
