Re: Hard disk thrashing w/ multple threads

Hey man thanks for the help, sorry to dig up an old thread, but today I noticed that sabnzbd is repairing while continuing with the next item in the queue.

Hard disk thrashing w/ multple threads

Hello, I noticed that sabnzbd can support 8 or 20 simultaneous streams, my quesiton is, when they are all writing to the hard disk at the same time, is this bad for the drive since the head is bouncing all over to keep up w/ the writes? Is it a good idea to have a dedicated drive only for downloadin...
