This has been a fascinating discussion, thanks all.

Brian, I'm not sure if you're saying now that one disk plus a chunk of ram 
should be ok now?

Say I'm looking at at:

- Main system+MythTV MySQL DB on a SSD
- 4GB RAM
- one 2TB Storage on USB3
- No Transcoding 
- No Comm Flagging

Worst case, simultaneous recording of 4 SD channels + 1 SD Playback

Do you see that leading to seek contention?

thanks,
