<div>I suppose I could use it for livetv, but I'm not sure if
it would make any difference in channel changing or anything
like that. Commercial flagging and transcoding are both CPU
bound, so I don't think it would make a difference
there. Any advantages to having a larger SSD in a myth
system that I'm overlooking?</div>

I paid a lot more than that for mine a year or so ago. In addition
to the myth backend and database I can hold all of my music for the
home MP3 player, all photographs which other computers can mount (in
a vain attempt to keep all photographs in one place), and some other
data that my desktop and laptop can share. My discs spin up only
during recording and very occasionally during playback (with all the
fiddling I don't have much time to watch). I am trying to reduce
heat as my backend is in a cupboard. <br>

I wish that someone would come out with one of these that<br>
was shorter and could be used, with a SATA/PATA adapter.<br>
There is still a bunch of old equipment that uses the 2.5 PATA.<br>
They could just use a spacer on the other end for SATA
applications.<br>
I do use a compact flash with some systems and though it seems to
work<br>
well, CF is quite expensive for any decent size.<br>
The SD to PATA adapters that I've tried were
slooooooooooooooooooooow.<br>

I agree. I've just upgraded from ubuntu 8.04 to 12.04 and it was a
big struggle to get it to fit on my 4GB compact flash (why is vim a
25MB download?). I'm not sure I'll be able to upgrade this again
without going to more effort than the hardware is worth. (I have
decided to unify everything to Ubuntu 12.04 - it has been enough
trouble learning the changes from 8.04 without bothering with other
distributions.)<br>
