<div>Last night I thought I had a hard drive failing so I quickly copied all the recordings on that myth box to a network share on my home server. Today I thought about maybe doing the same thing for my second myth recording box such that all the recordings would be on a single network share.</div>
<div> </div><div>I know people have done this but what I do not know is what kind of recording load and playing load I can put on the network share before the disk IO beings to hold things up. All systems including the server have a gig ethernet connection. There are two backend/frontend mythtv box's and 2 dedicated frontend only myth box's for a total poosible of 4 frontends and two backends where the backends have 1 and 2 tuners respectivly. The system with two tuners has a combo tuner so I can record digital cable as well as analog cable channels.</div>
<div> </div><div>The drive is an internal SATA 1.5GB disk. I belive its a seagate green drive so I know the transfer rate is lower than lets say a black drive.</div><div> </div><div>I know I should beable to record two shows at the same time to the server share but I am wondering in practice does anyone have this kind of setup and if so what are the numbers of simultanious recordings and/or playback that you have had and not seen performance issues or if you have seen performance issues with this kind of setup at what level of simultanious recording/playback did you get these recordings?</div>
