General: Best location for Timeshift Buffer and records? (1 Viewer)

[resa]

Hello out there!

I've searched a lot across the Forums and there was no answer, where are finally the best places for Timeshift buffers and recorded-tv Files... i've reading more than only one sugesstions, how to use the Drives for optimal performance under Mediaportal..

My Problem ist, that there are sometimes short dropouts while recording something... in Live-TV and/or recorded TV-Files after finished recording ... and i think, it cames from the non-optional using of the HD-Drives

For MediaPortal Version: 1.0.2 w/o svn ... i have the following Question:

I have 2 SATA-HD's in my HTPC... (Drive1 in 2 partitions, Drive2 in 1 Partition) how i use it in the best way?

ATM using of my Drives:

Drive1 - C: System AND Timeshift-buffer
Drive1 - D: recorded TV-Files
Drive2 - E: not used for operational Files

Will it be better to do so:

Drive1 - C: System
Drive1 - D: Timeshift buffer
Drive2 - E: recorded TV-Files

or like this:

Drive1 - C: System
Drive1 - D: not used for operational files
Drive2 - E: Timeshift buffer AND recorded TV-Files

or even in another way?

Maybe a Mediaportal Developer or Pro-User can give me a short sugesstion for that, so i will be very grateful for helping optimize my HTPC...

Sorry for my bad englisch ;-))

thanks in advance

I use D:/Timeshifting (folder) and D:/RecordedTV (folder), as the amount of space taken up by timeshift is so small, it has virtually no effect on the drive

ps. keeping on the same drive, also saves system resources.

Hello ParanoidDell,
