SSD wear?

[Joram]

In this and age, it's difficult if not impossible to find a new computer with a spinning hard disk for its main drive. At the same time, we are cautioned that solid-state drives can take only a certain amount of read-write cycles before they can no longer be written to, only read from.

Should a NextPVR user be looking to put the Live TV buffer and recorded shows on a secondary HDD, or is this not really a concern?

I've been using solid state drives in my NPVR for years and it's not been a problem so I would say not a concern.
My caveat to that would be if your recordings are important to you, always have a backup policy in place.
SSDs whilst generally reliable can still fail just like HDDs.
In my case recordings get backed up daily to a large capacity HDD in my NAS.
I've only ever had to use the backups once and that was because of finger trouble. Someone in my house (not mentioning the wife) accidentally deleted the top recordings directory with all recordings instead of the intended individual recording sub-directory.
