[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1197342, member: 82144"] Hello :) Well, in terms of I/O speed, SSDs have higher latency and lower bandwidth than RAM. In short: they're slower. Therefore you would expect that channel switching times and seeking (rewind, fast-forward, seek/step) would be slower with an SSD... but I can't tell you how much slower. You would have to test that yourself. The difference could be insignificant/unnoticeable. "Rewind time" depends on the size of the time-shift buffer. Assuming that your SSD is larger than your RAM drive, you should be able to have a larger time-shift buffer. Therefore, yes, you should be able to use it to have longer "rewind time". [/QUOTE]
