Intel x25-V

MythTV dumps raw ts-something (name escapes me), it's basically an mpeg2 stream
Depending on the broadcast format -SD or HD- the resulting files of recorded TV can vary.
I'm not sure off the top of my head what the typical bitrates/sizes are, but at a guess the biggest it'd ever get, perhaps 1.5GB?

I'm not sure what I'd do yet, maybe I'd have stream/s that I'm watching in real-time go straight to the SSD.
And streams that I want to actually record/archive for later viewing could perhaps just go straight to my 1TB WD Black?

There will be advert flagging & when the machine's least used (during the day) some transcoding of archived mpeg2 to a better format.
The idea -I think- would be mostly to use the SSD as the system/boot volume, and the 1TB WD Black for storage.

I did have plans for a RAID but that's been scrapped for the time being

Really, only 280? I thought once one accommodates for overhead it was more like 300MB/s?
Yikes 4am, good night!
