I am setting up a TV3 server that will handle a total of 4 tuners for 3 clients. The tuners are an HDHomerun which will be recording clear QAM from my cable (mostly local HDs) and a PVR500 which will be recording from a digital cable STB and just plain analog cable.
I have available 4-5 320GB SATA drives to use specifically for TV in this server, and I was wondering what would be the best way to allocate them amongst the tuners and the timeshift buffers to maximize performance.
Also, can TV3 pick a harddrive from a pool that is not being used, in order to maximize performance? I played around with MythTV and it does this with their Storage Groups feature and it seemed like a really good idea (but too many other things were better in MP, so I chose it instead).
