    Mine came with enough SATA cables to connect one hard drive and the dvd drive, so I used an extra cable I had laying around to connect the 2nd hard drive. Alternatively, you could disconnect the cable from the dvd drive and use it for another hard drive if you'd like. It has 4 ram slots and...

    I picked up the 120GB version of this drive and added another 2TB drive for archiving recordings. Not the highest end SSD drive by any means, but it is running like a champ.

    Budget Server

    I'm just getting my feet wet and looking to purchase a budget server. Setup will consist of 4-5 cams mixed 720p and 1080p running with motion detection. At most there would be 2 cams recording at once. Would an i5-3470 (looking at HP 6300, sub $100) be sufficient for this? Thank in advance for...
