[QUOTE="1gkar, post: 1276144, member: 53076"] Thanks, for the input. The reason I ask is I have had 1 HDD fail relatively recently. And that Seagate drive wasn't that old; within 3-4 years. Haven't done any Seagate tools testing, yet. Life gets in the way, sometimes;) I do have only 8GB of RAM, so the internal would likely be the resolution, going forward. In saying that, the drive has been behaving recently, & recording to an external drive appears to be OK, when I changed the recording location. I have taken a True Image snapshot, in case it does fail. So, will most likely stay with this, as it stands, at present, as I don't have the room inside the case, for an additional HDD. One other query, that is in keeping with the thread title: does anyone know why the following would occur. Again, it has been the case for years, & again, just haven't done anything about it. I have manual records of our nation's two main news channel's sports segments, as I don't watch the news: just sports. For years, the Saturday records have never woken up my HTPC, to begin recording. Every other day of the week, they work as they should. They are set by both weekdays, & weekend records. I am often not home in time to manually start the HTPC, as I'm at golf. I just switch it on, & record the + 1hour delayed channels, to record/watch the day's sports, when I get home. Have been through the configs, reset the manual records, etc. Nothing seems to work. This has occurred over at least 7-9 itinerations of Mediaportal., & at least 5-7 years. [/QUOTE]
