    Which HDD for 12 Cams

    I purchased an 8TB Barracuda a while ago as a dedicated drive for BI to record video. It was a disaster. I went back to my 2TB drive but it's only enough for 2 days of recording which isn't enough. Hence, I am looking for a new drive. I know WD has the Surveillance type of drives and Seagate the...

    Hi, My new set-up storage-wise consists of a 128GB SSD and a 2TB WD Purple HDD, and currently 2 cameras (about 6MP in total) recording continuously. I've read on here (and it seems logical), that there's no performance gain in writing video to the SSD first, so I just used that for system disk...
