[mythtv-users] HD noise and PVR250

My system is up and running really well--thanks to everyone involved. My 
only "complaint" is that my HD makes LOTS of noise. I don't want to 
change the HD/case, and all the video files are on an ext3 partition 
with the fewest possible inodes (-T largefile4) for whatever that may be 
worth. (For the record, my impression is that there are now 
less/smoother disk writes under ext3 than when I was using reiserfs, but 
any difference is minor.)

However I was thinking--for other reasons as well--of switching my 
current hauppage wintv go with a pvr250. Does anyone think this will 
help with disk writes? I assume all that disk activity is just the 
writing of large files, but maybe there is some memory management stuff 
going on as well. Any thoughts/opinions??

Thanks
