I don't have all the answers. But my setup is fully based on a sata disk.
Often we record two or three programs at a time. We never had any performance issues.
So I guess you should be fine without the ramdisk

I moved the time shift folder back to the SATA disk and that works.

I think you can answer one question: how much space do you allocate for time shifting?

Thanks,

OK, thanks. It doesn't seem to be overkill, though.

I have done some testing.

My first conclusion is that it does make a difference when the time shift buffer is on a RAM disk. With a conventional disk, I have frequent freezes of Kodi, but with a RAM disk I have only seen it once.

I also found out that the number and size of files to be used for time shifting applies to each stream. I have configured 3 files of 1300 MB on a 4 GB RAM disk. When one stream is running for a while, and I start a second one, the second aborts after a short while. Probably because no time shift buffer space can be allocated.

So I need more RAM disk space, but that is beyond my budget. I have a miniPCIe slot on my mobo and I will try a reasonable priced SSD for it.
