Suggestions for networked storage locations for my recordings
I'm considered recording all my TV to networked drives instead of local hard drives. Since technology changes all the time, I wanted to ask what was the best network storage solution now? Also, I know they make NAS specific hard drives but most of them seem to run at the lower RPM, wouldn't it be better for playback to continue to use faster RPM hard drives in a networked solution as well?
Thanks for any help, Chuck

My first concern is actually purchasing the storage device and hard drives. That was the suggestions I was actually after. My plan would be to get my windows setup recording to the networked storage location first. I might later then look into something like unraid and the SageTV docker for it. Thanks again for your help, Chuck

Nice thing about unRaid is you can use any hardware.
Years ago I started out with a spare Tower case, threw in some hard drives and got it up and running (back in the 5.x days before dockers) Nice thing is you can mix/match drive sizes as long as your Parity drive is equal or greater in size to all the rest. Get that up and running, then just have your Windows SageTV instance write to them using the UNC paths |

I have a Synology NAS. I highly recommend them for availability and easy of use. They are a bit more expenses than other NAS devices, but I think they are worth it.
I tried recording to the NAS in the past, but I would run into problem based on the number of consurrent recordings. I currently record to three local drives on my SageTV PC. When the drives start to fill-up, I stop the SageTV service and move the files to a SageTV import directory on the NAS. When I restart SageTV, it finds the recordings. Playback from the NAS has never been an issue. Hope this helps.

Since you will still need to maintain a Windows SageTV server (because of the Ceton cards), I’m not sure I see the benefit of a two-box solution.

Could you plug the NAS into the laptop directly?

Wouldn't the SD Prime network tuner need connection to the NAS as well? I would use a Gigbit switch to interconnect all the devices (laptop, NAS, SD Prime) together.
Thanks for the input, Chuck

You’d need to get the HDHR Prime 6 first. Plus the post doesn’t address the OpenDCT docker, so there is a risk there.

No, if you're using SageTV and OpenDCT on the laptop the SD Prime stream would go to your laptop for capture then to the NAS for storage.

OpenDCT communicates with your Prime telling it what channel to tune and when to record. It then receives the recording data from the Prime and makes it available to SageTV. SageTV receives the recording "stream" from OpenDCT and saves it to a file. That file may be local or on a network drive. If on a network drive SageTV then needs to send that data back out over your Ethernet to the NAS. With 1G Ethernet you should have enough "lanes" on your freeway to receive 6 recordings at once and send those to a NAS all over your one cord. (For perspective, the Prime 6--according to SD--will "only" have a 100M Ethernet port.) So in theory you'd be fine. I can't speak to reality, though, as I've always used "local" storage for SageTV.

If I were to do that, then I would have needed another port from my laptop to get connected to other devices such as the SD Prime 6 and router. I guess I just misunderstood what you were initially saying. Thanks again for your input, Chuck

It is also an older PC and it would miss 1 or 2 recordings. It looked like it could not keep up. Recording to the local drives solved the problem, so I never went back to investigate.
