[QUOTE="VdR, post: 576665, member: 25818"] I had a second HDD crash in about a years time (WD extended test fails on 'too many bad sectors'). Both where external WD MyBook connected to my TV server and both where used for TV recording, but not for time shifting. Is recording and playing back TV hard on a HDD? I know we have had a power outage yesterday and I was wondering if that could have caused the problem. I'm worried about the 4TB array that holds my film collection. Then again my other PCs and HDDs don't seem to be effected. Would it make sense to get myself a UPS? It would have to manage a shutdown, the outages can be long (Belgium is not as developed as you might think ;)). I was looking at an APC RS 800 VA anybody any experience or suggestions? VdR [/QUOTE]
