[QUOTE="Pog, post: 1043038, member: 97724"] I just use a hard drive and a slower 5400 RPM drive at that, low power and efficient. It's a 2TB drive split into 2 partitions with a 32GB partition for timeshifting and the remaining for recordings. The reason for the split is to keep file fragmentation to a minimum and I use a low power drive as my server is on 24/7. I have had occasions where there has been 3 or 4 recordings going and multiple timeshift streams and it has never missed a beat. I use a server/client setup over a wired gigabit network. Channel change is fast at around 2 seconds. I did consider a ram-disk at one point but having the bigger buffer using the hard drive means I can pause a hd tv stream for hours if needed and I do more often then I would have thought. [/QUOTE]
