[QUOTE="Zagan, post: 725495, member: 112061"] ok, but I think a lot of that comes from the drive being full and not being able to trim/remove non-existing data, seems to be the most important thing ATM, but it's only supported in win7 currently. The only reason why I bring up SSDs is that I'm recording digital std and 1080i TV shows/channels and recording a 1 hour digital std your looking at 2-3 gigs of data, 1 hour of 1080i is around 6-7 gigs on it's own. I have shows that are std digital 6 hours long, that's 12 gigs of data on it's own. So if your going to time-shift an hour or 2 your going to want some decent space as your going to be pushing a SATA or IDE to the max once you start adding lots of tuners. Having 1 or 2 tuners isn't going to mean much, but some people are talking about 6 and 8 tuners, the CPU usage is going to go through the roof encoding and processing a lot of stuff beside the SATA headend having to push 100's of megs of data. it's something to think about.
