[QUOTE="joystick, post: 213654, member: 18134"] This was my very first though when I built up my first HTPC, but, there are two things to this: First: USB Flash drives have a very limited total number of read/write cycles, this means that if yiu have your system files on this, it will soon be brocken. 'cause of system cache and mp access etc. second: I tried to connect via a IDE/USB adapter, which worked but the performace is not too good Also, a small HDD is still quite, cheap and more performant. And performance is what it is all about in regards of timeshifting, channel change, and startup etc. Plus: My Vista setup needs at least 20gb of disk space, no MP installed....;) I ended up with a ususal setup.... cheers joystick [/QUOTE]
