hard drive interface speed?
I plan on setting up a PVR system using a PIII 700 MHz system. I've been assured that the CPU will be fast enough to record two channels at once at highest quality while playing a recorded show. But it occured to me that the PC's hard drive interface, Ultra ATA 66, may not be fast enough to push that much data around. Is it? Will I need to invest in a faster PCI drive controller?
Thanks Kevin

ATA 66 <-> ATA 100 is really mostly hyped, because the real limiting factor is still the physical one.. the HD itself, the only place where the xfer speed reaches as high as 66Mb/s and 100Mb/s is from data which is already in HD's cache, which very often only is about 2Mb or 8Mb(on newer HD's), the conclusion is you will be just fine
