We have used Replay for many years and sometimes it has been a little buggy but now on our TWO main-computers (one ASUS with i9 and 3080ti plus a 3070ti) we get segment with black recordings on the timeline - they vary from 0.2s to 20 seconds and appear randomly. Our fat production computer is at max 3% CPU and 10% GPU plus we use Resizable BAR.
We really need help with this.

Hello, have you been able to solve it, we have the same problem of black blocks in the random recording, the disks are SSD.
the input signals are 4 NDI and we return a full -NDI signal for mixing in the realization system

Replay does need a fast drive, and a drive that stays fast after long periods of writing.

I used a Crucial P3 Plus NVME M.2 SSD in a new build. It's claimed 4200MB/s write speed should be plenty for the around 500 Mb/s needed by four channels of replay but it failed. I found that after replay had been recording for something like 30 minutes, the average write speed dropped to around 75MB/s (600Mb/s) with frequent slow points that caused the replays to include black frames. None of the reviews I'd read mentioned this as they hadn't done a long enough write to hit the limit, eventually I found one review that reported it. I replaced it with a different SSD and all has been fine since.

You can keep an eye on the disk write speed in task manager to see if it is slowing down.
