[QUOTE="Zagan, post: 725123, member: 112061"] I don't know how you come up with that rubbish. all SSD drives have lasted about 1,000,000 hours of use, that equals just over 114 years of 24/7 use and never turned off, you'll probably fail before the SSD drive fails. I have an SSD drive and I can say it's the best computer item I've ever bought, I run win7-64bit and it'll load it up in 3 seconds pushing, I can hit the power button do a 360 turn and it'll be fully loaded and ready to go when I'm facing the computer again and it's still like that after 6+ months of use. Ram drives are the exact same thing as an SSD drive but don't keep the data when turned off, they also won't have the trim support so all mem spots will always be holding data in them and slow down over time where as all SSD drives will have that but Win7 is required to use the trim function it's not supported on XP or vista and MS isn't releasing any patches to change that. RAID will probably be the best option RAID 1 with 4 HDD as each HDD can be used at the same time where as SSD while transferring at 150+meg a second or higher will only be one drive and will get held up by the SATA device, seeing as there will be up to 8 channels of data coming in. Also DATA space will be important, I have 500gig spare for TV shows and that's 300hours of HD recording split 8 ways your looking at 37 hours of recorded shows. SSD's while stupidly fast, you'll only have small space limits timeshifting can be reduced in time but if your recording to that same drive and it was eurovision or a sporting match you could kill the whole time shifting setting with 1 show.
