Case Study: Legend3D achieves 150X faster VR data loading and real-time workflows with SanDisk

Sandisk Enables Legend3d Artists To Work On Virtual Reality In Real Time

Legend3D, a leading 3D conversion and visual‑effects studio serving major film and advertising clients, expanded into virtual reality but ran into a common problem: 4K/5K, high‑frame‑rate VR footage generates massive amounts of data that caused network bottlenecks and long load times, disrupting artists’ workflows and slowing delivery.

By deploying SanDisk ioMemory Fusion and Lightning 12Gb SAS drives, Legend3D reduced cache load time for a 1,000‑frame stereo 4K shot from about 600 minutes to roughly 4 minutes (150× faster), eliminating bottlenecks, enabling real‑time work at the workstation, increasing productivity and cutting project time and costs.
