Hi, I'm kind of new here and I have some questions regarding the capabilites of a Canon T3i with ML installed. I see in the settings that 1920 x 1080 raw video requires at least 90mb/s per second for the card, so I was planning on getting a Sandisk one with 95 mb/s. But while searching on the forum I stumbled upon some info which appears to indicate that the T3i can't record that fast even with a 95 mb/s card, only 20mb/s or something (regardless the card capabilities). So my question, is it possible to record continously on the T3i with the following specs?:

1920 * 1080 res
Raw MLV video
24 fps
95 mb/s sd card

And if not, is it better to shoot with raw at a lower res or framerate and fix in post? or just stick with the h264 native Full HD?

Do the math
Date rate required (Byte/s) = Vertical resolution x horizontal resolution x bit depth x frame rate / 8

Did that already, my doubt comes regarding the "bottleneck" of 20 mb/s the t3i has

I can get 4k out of my 550d. Only problem is only 3fps. You can only get so much out of these cameras.
