Running on RPi4 4GB with WD 4TB Elements drive, no remote access, TVE sources only. For the last month, system has been slow, difficult to access, and pause/play/repeat on recordings. Per devs, probable cause is bad hard drive.
If I move to a new drive, any recommendations other than my current? Do I burn image on new drive before copying recordings over? How do I move 1.5 TB of recordings over to new using only an old Windows PC?
Get an ssd usb drive. I use the Samsung T7 and it is rock solid.
Things come to a virtual halt if I’m recording more than two or three shows. Does your SSD handle multiple recordings/processing and watching simultaneously, or am I expecting too much from the RPi4?
I have been recording 2 things while watching other thing just fine. I have tuner sharing off though. Not sure if that would affect performance.
All my sources are only TVE. I don’t know if tuner sharing comes into play in my case. My background is financial, not technical!
TVE sources are always shared. now can I get a stock tip I am not financial but technical ...
Just kidding ... about tip
So do I turn off Tuner Sharing? Best tip I can give is to befriend Elon. 
It does not matter if you are using TVE , Pluto etc ... The server makes all connections/logins and shares the stream. Tuner Sharing is only for Silicondust tuners.
