    Silverstack 3 vs Shot Put Pro 5

    Both programs have recently released updates so I decided to test them out.

    I offloaded 15GB of R3D from a Redstation USB 3.0 to my RMBP 512GB SSD Desktop. I used MD5 checksums for both.

    Do they understand the actual difference between MD5, Byte or SHA 1 checksums? Or are they just parroting terminology?
