[QUOTE="wazm, post: 516573, member: 76279"] I was only going to use it for the recordings and I guess losing them wouldn't be the end of the world. Fair enough. I was mainly after performance and I guess grouping of the drives into 1. Drive letters are not really a problem. I presently have a few 500gb drives and I am finding that one drive seems to take most of the recordings (as it is connected to the first priority TV card which cops most of the recording), and the others seem to be fairly empty most of the time. If MediaPortal chose a TV card at random or sequentially then the data may be better spread across the drives. I was hoping to achieve that by using raid but if it is going to be a performance hit then it isn't worth the trouble. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly with the answer. Much appreciated :thx: [/QUOTE]
