    to be more specific, im recording a bunch of gameplay from bf3 on to my ssd, ive got about 40gb of extra space to play around with. my average game is about 30 minutes long and if i record it in 1080p that comes in around 20gb. I have an external drive thats a tb but because its a networkdrive the footage gets laggy because there is some delay between my computer and the drive. basically i want to record it onto my ssd, then transfer it onto my network drive when i stop recording. does anyone have an easy way to do this automatically?

    I'm guessing you could easily do something like that with a batch script. Have the ".bat" file on your desktop and then just click it to move the recordings.

    I'm no expert but something like in notepad:

    Code:
    cd Users\Yourname\Videos
    move *.avi E:\Battlefield\recordings
    exit
    save this file as something like "transfer.bat"
    obviously change the folders locations and drive letter to what you need and also the type of video extention. (i guessed .avi)

    also, to get the .bat extention, in notepad:
    Choose Save As from the File menu.
    Enter the file name as your_file.bat being sure to include the .bat extension.
    Then set the "Save As Type" to All Files.
    Finally, hit the Save button.

    A really really neat way of doing this would be to set up a partition of your SSD as a cache drive for your HDD and let Intel handle it for you. If you have the Intel RST drivers, you should be able to do this.
