  • That’s not how hard drives work, and doesn’t take into account that OP might want to download more than one thing at a time.

    Hard drives are fastest when they are moving large single files. SSDs are way better than hard drives at lots of small random reads/writes.Setting qbittorrent up so that all the random writes inherent to downloading a torrent go to a small ssd, and then moving that file over to the big hard drive with a single long writer operation is how you make both devices perform to their best.














  • I have really enjoyed my vero 4k. they came out with a new version (vero v), which I haven’t used, but now has av1 support. my older model, the 4k+ version, has done everything great, with the exception of handling IR, which it did a mediocre job of managing. Linux irrecord is ass, but the vero software mitigates it by having a premade library of common remotes.

    Their user forums are actually really great, their software support is also pretty good. I had help from both with setting my box up to match my TV feature set.

    The vero V looks to be over budget for you, but if you end up deciding you need to spend money to get a solid product, i definitely recommend this one.
