[QUOTE="NickName, post: 67686, member: 21675"] That's interesting that USB 2 would too slow? It is 'supposedly' rated at 480MB per sec or is that 480 megabit? Anyway, I think it would be great option for a RAM drive as thrashing my HD drive continously bothers me. :cry: As far not being able to record instantly goes, that would not worry me. I rarely record that way as 99% of time I know what I want to record in advance. Perhaps the option would be to record 'not so' instantly? By that I mean you press 'record now' and for a few seconds the recording doesn't actually start while the RAM drive is dumped to disk? I don't think it would strain a system too much to do this as my main Mediaportal box can easily record two channels at the same time and that's only a Pentium 2.4 with 512 meg RAM and an IDE drive. I suppose it could thrash the drive dumping the RAM drive to disk but it's currently writing to disk 100% of the time with Timeshift enabled.
