David,

I believe you, but...

I had been under the impression (apparently wrong) that three (3) SD recording streams
would not approach the available bandwidth of a standard (reasonably current) PATA disk.
Did I choose a clunker drive?

How do you tell (from all that data) that this is the problem (not to argue, but for education)?

Thanks for your help!

Craig.
