[mythtv-users] Bad News for me...a warning to all

[Graham W. Mitchell]

The problem is Jarod, the lack of slots on most motherboards these
days.... I'd like to put in a couple of ATA cards for disks, but with
2x250s, a bttv card and sound card, I am plain out of slots.... Looks
like I need to add another dedicated file server for this.... Or maybe
SATA is the way to go when the drives are cheap enough.

Multiple driver per ATA bus will absolutely DESTROY performance. ATA is 
absolute crap when it comes to multiple devices per bus. Get a PCI ATA
card 
for about $30, add it to your setup, and performance should at LEAST
double.
