Hey, That sounds more than fine depending on your config. Recording is a dump of the mpeg2 stream from the card to the disk and so seems to be limited mostly disk resources. You could set up storage groups - set three groups, one on each disk, set each card to default to a different group and you'll be fine. Another option would be to set up raid5 using the 3 disks (as I have done) which spreads the load evenly for you and also gives you some redundancy against a disk failure. Cheers, Owen.
