<div dir="ltr">How about using hp 3x msa50 with nice sas card. That would handle such load. But with mythtv writing and reading would double the load. I have 3 bonded gigabit network cards on my myth backend . I also use battey backed sas controlers. </div>

<span style="color:rgb(80,0,80)">Really you have your 2 possible issues. CPU currently being maxed and the IO bandwidth. These are all guesses since this is a serious load but personally if you wanted them to remain a single machine I'd swap the i5 with an i7 and break the array into at least 2. Whether trying 2 vdevs in a raidz or just 2 totally separate raidz since myth can have ad many individual storage locations as you want. And/or put a SSD ZiL in front of any raidz configuration. But if you are really pushing that IO load it could still be an issue. Or build a second box and just put 1/2 the storage and 1/2 the tuners in it as a slave backend if you don't want to move to an i7.</span> </div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm curious what people that do have this high of a load do if they have redundant storage. Maybe just 3 sets of mirrors would be best.</div></div><br></div></div>
