recording to 2 different hard drives at once

If BTV is scheduled to record two different proarams a the same time, and if you give it more than one hard drive to use, is it smart enough to put one recording on drive A and the other onto drive B to avoid making the drive head seek back and forth the whole time?

Re: recording to 2 different hard drives at once

If you're talking pooling, I doubt it. If you put a separate folder on each drive, and point one show to each, it will.

Don't really need to though. Format with 64K clusters and all will be good. I regularly record 4 to 6 recordings to a single drive concurrently. No problem.

OK. Thanks for the 64K tip.
