[SIGH]  I remembered the 100, but forgot the case of their B....

That drive of course can do up to 102 MB/s or 816 Mbit/s.

So it could keep up with a 10 bit raw 2048x1536 pixel 24 fps
uncompressed stream.

The limiting factor, then, is just the speed of moving data from the
imager; there are storage options that can keep up.
