That is my assumption as well. Been working fine since February. Since this is not a critical business system if a drive fails it fails. I spend some time rebuilding things and moving on. If you are concerned about a hard drive failures then you need to setup RAID on your system or have a backup strategy that makes copies of your recordings directory. For a PVR I did not feel that was needed. Have not done this yet but I do plan on backing up the database so it can be restored. (need to get that scripted and in place this weekend :) )
