Everyone hates commercials in the house and now want to record there shows, unless a sporting event no one watches live TV in the house. I have gotten my setup pretty perfect on a new server build running on an i3 8100, no more artifacts or anything (other than the random recording glitch yesterday). My concern now is HDD I/O limitations, at what rate does NextPVR record at?

Most often I have 2 tuners recording at the same time like to increase and usually everyone waits to watch until after the recording i finished, but on rare occurrences we have started watching the recording about 20 minutes into the recording (to skip commercials) and it hasn't caused any noticeable problems. What I want to know is am i looking at possible problems as demand increases if things are being record and watched at the same time, am i hammering my HDD?

Note the random glitch from yesterday was not caused by watching the recording while being recorded.

You'll probably be fine. That's still fairly light usage.

It really depends on the source - a digital channel could typically be anyway from 2Mbps up to about 20Mbps depending on where you are in the world and what codecs they're using etc. The operating system, and drive will perform buffering though, so will read/write in chunks.

My suggestion would be that you test by loading the server as much as you can with multiple recordings and multiple clients viewing all simultaneously. I bet you a penny that the HDD will not be the bottleneck.
