"As you say, if the recordings are on completely separate dives it<br>
shouldn't be a problem. That may not be practical."<br><br>Are you saying it would be better if the recordings were each on a different drive or the recordings together were on a different drive from the NAS ?<br>
<br>Is it better to have drives on their own controller or is it fine to have them share one controller and use different channels ?<br><br>I'll be running 2 HD PVRs for recording and streaming to 3 to 5 FEs at one time. <br>
<br>NAS will have several services. One being streaming music to 12 USB sound card channels and maybe a couple portable devices. Another being providing images/saving images for DigiKam. Another being doing a data backup for a laptop.<br>
<br>I can set the server up with multiple drive controller cards and multiple Ethernet cards connected to multiple switches. One being Gigabit exclusively for BE/FEs. The other switch being 10/100 for other traffic.<br>
<br>This is going to be interesting.<br>
