[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1170773, member: 141969"] Me too. But I have only three disks in my HTPC, with the bulk of my recordings stored on a remote NAS which is switched off most of the time. In the HTPC, I have: (1) Slow 160GB 5400rpm OS disk (ex-laptop, 3 partitions == 3 OS installs). (2) Fast 750GB 7200rpm "capture" disk (where the recordings are placed by TV Server). (3) Slow 2TB 5400rpm "library" disk (where recordings are moved if they will be watched in the nearish future). Restricting the number of disks in the HTPC is as much about minimising noise (the HTPC is located in the lounge, adjacent to the TV), as it is about minimising power consumption and disk wear. My HTPC hibernates when not in use and not recording. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
