<br>even though your 320 GB HDDs are SATA, they're never going to saturate the bus. this will practically always.<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/4/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Michael T. Dean</b> <

0.20), we'll see "Storage<br>Groups", which would allow this (have a storage group dedicated to<br>LiveTV that writes to the directory at which the i-RAM is mounted and<br>set your default (and other) storage groups to write to HDD's).

<br>less) would serve you better--even considering wear and tear on the<br>HDD. (<br><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2010150014+1035313428&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=14">http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2010150014+1035313428&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=14
