[QUOTE="dankargo, post: 971840, member: 402329"] I've used the Transcend as my main recording drive for the last 6 months which included recording HD channels on the Openbox. It coped fine with a 27 Mbps BBC feed a few months ago too. The Eurovision feeds though are well known to have a huge data rate. As well as the 42Mbps video it has three audio tracks at 384kbps each. What I forgot to mention is that for last nights recording, I took some advice mentioned in a thread in the Openbox section which was to turn PS Record on. I've got no idea what PS is but it still produced .TS files and all played fine. I just think maybe the threshold of power is too low once you hit roughly ~30Mbps or more. The Openbox probably just needed a helping hand in powering whilst it was writing the mammoth amounts of data to disk. I just hope now that the receiver doesn't blow completely due to the stress :D [/QUOTE]
