"Fast Deletes" ???<br>
<br>
I'm not sure what you mean by that.</blockquote><div><br>Oops, I meant "slow deletes".<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I record at least as much during the "wee hours" as I do any other time of<br>
day, and not using the the "suggested time" feature of SD might not be the<br>
best thing for them (though I am not sure how much of a factor that might<br>
be).<br>
</blockquote></div><br>I'm not a fan at all of the "suggested time" feature. When I used it, it often thrashed the disk during prime-time recording of 3 simultaneous HD shows, causing dropouts and seriously impacting the WAF. Picking a specific window is better. Best would be for the backend to pick a window when nothing (or at least very little) is recording.<br>
