Writing to the hdd takes more CPU cycles than reading. I have set my min/max files at 5 and the file size to 64MB which works ok for my wireless setup.My timebuffer is located on a separate partition that uses 64KB cluster size (maximum for NTFS). My recorded videos are also located on a partition that has 64KB clusters.  This is recommend for large video files because there will be fewer seeks on your drive.  Yes, 64 is my lucky number <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
