Thanks Bruce, a very good point. I didn't know we where so close to being
able to use Storage Groups. Is there a write up on how this is going to be
used. From your post it looks like you can assign each recorder to a
different storage group, hopefully on a different drive, to get better
throughput but still see everything normally in the front end. What is the
best way to know when this gets pushed to the svn? Watch the ticket on that
feature? I am now very glad I posted this question.
