I'm trying to get some performance gains. Currently, there are<br>
some artifacts/sound pauses (annoying) Not surprising when<br>
multiple recordings are going, and they are typically 8GB in size.<br>
I read in the optimization wiki a mention of reducing the<br>
recording sizes, but there was no instruction as how to do so!<br>

Hmm, if you are regularly recording 6 HD streams to one spindle you<br>
might see benefits from using a real file system like XFS.<br>

3TB separate disk for recordings (USB unfortunately, but that's<br>
another story, bios won't see correct drive size if installed as SATA)<br>

The BIOS only has to see the boot disk, so attaching the media disk via<br>
SATA should still work for you. Depending on the USB this might already<br>
help quite a bit. I'd try this first.<br>
