Hey Rob,

Saving to dev/null worked just fine, and didn’t even output the “Disk write 
test indicates that an overflow is likely to occur” warning.

In terms of saving to RAM, isn’t this essentially what my custom script does? I 
reserve all my buffers (which increases my RAM usage by a lot) and have a 
separate thread write from these to the filesystem. 

Would anything be different if I used a ramdisk? I can try it out. 

As for DPDK, I tried in the past to get it working but keep running into 
issues. I will post the output below, but it may warrant a separate post.

When running:

```
./rx_samples_to_file --args 
"addr=192.168.10.2,second_addr=192.168.20.2,mgmt_addr=192.168.1.19,use_dpdk=1" 
--file /dev/null --duration 10 --rate 491.52e6 --freq 1575.42e6
```

I get:

```
