[QUOTE="elliottmc, post: 716340, member: 14268"] Sensible. I have the same 2TB drive, and it is great for storage but when I tried to use it for TV recordings and timeshifting, there was a noticable delay in starting TV. Can't fault it on cost though. Make sure your PSU is delivering a solid 12V on the 12V line though. My server became unstable after adding one of these drives. A new PSU cured this! Check benchmarks and make sure if will deliver a performance difference. Personally, I would do the upgrades one at a time and see if they make a real difference. Mark [/QUOTE]
