Targeting Separate Drives for Video and Audio
Targeting separate drives for video and audio tracks can improve performance because the system is not required to address all the information in separate locations on a single drive. You can also capture for the longest continuous amount of time because the system stores material on two drives rather than one.

The names shown in bold in the menus have the most storage
available. The time remaining on each selected drive is calculated
based on your resolution selection.

Targeting separate partitions on the same drive will slow playback
performance.
