I have 4 WD Green 640gb SATA drives. They are all running individual
XFS filesystems and are setup in my storage groups. I have 2 pinnacle
HD capture cards picking up ATSC signals and a PVR150 picking up
commiecast's Standard Cable (because they don't send the digital in
clearQAM, but that's another thread) So far, I have had zero problems
recording on all 3 cards while watching TV also. They should do you
well.
