[QUOTE="Phaedra, post: 716933, member: 110603"] The 1,5 TB drive is a WD15EARS drive. I'm not sure, but as far as I can find info, it's a "variable speed" drive, meaning rpm is between 5400 and 7200. The RAM drive experiment wasn't really a success, probably because I can't make it large enough (1 GB). I had to limit it to 512 MB, and that caused some problems : stuttering was worse than ever. In the log I could find tswriter getting into trouble regularly, probably from the drive being too small... When I switched back to my 1,5 TB drive for timeshifting, everything was back to normal. I still get channel freezing after more than an hour, without anything special in the logs, but as I'm typing this, I see BBC HD streaming getting strange artefacts, and at the same time I hear my HDD getting into some serious action. I think it would be best if I got myself a separate and dedicated HDD for timeshifting and recording ? I saw a WD 500 GB drive in the shop, 7200 rpm; SATA-600 6 Gb/s. [/QUOTE]
