[QUOTE="RobNorthcott, post: 545474, member: 57999"] OK, there are various faster non-hard-drive methods (SSD, RAMdisk, other kinds of flash memory) that should theoretically be better than cheap USB sticks, but what I'm saying is that a cheap USB stick is working perfectly for me (and has been for over a year) and cost hardly anything. And I'm using both DVB-S and DVB-T, SD and HD. Am I really the only one successfully using a cheap stick for timeshift? And in response to Eeyore, I don't think my hardware is particularly state-of-the-art (Athlon 64 3200 on a cheap motherboard). I'm using PDVD codecs though, so some of the video processing will be offloaded to the graphics card (which is a Radeon 4550, the most modern bit of the system, although not expensive), perhaps making a difference - possibly it wouldn't keep up otherwise.
