BinaryWrite is like Write. It does not close it's streams when it's
finished. So the second BinaryWrite appends to the file. To overwrite,
you should first close the stream.
n = 1000000;
TSout = Table[{FromDate[{2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0}] + i, Random[]}, {i, n}];
stream = OpenWrite["binTS.dat", BinaryFormat -> True];
BinaryWrite[stream, TSout, {"Real64", "Real64"}]; // Timing
Close[stream];
TSin = BinaryReadList["binTS.dat", {"Real64", "Real64"}]; // Timing
TSout == TSin
