I have had my new 5216 NVR with 16 POE ports for a couple of weeks now and its behavior has been pretty flakey. It typically takes a long time to boot up, and then after a few hours locks up. When booting it up again, it makes me go through the setup process again, like I was turning it on for the first time. The longest it has opperated for has been 2 days before locking up, and sometimes it does it within a few minutes. I have a new 6 TB WD Purple drive in it.
From what I have been reading it is most likely a bad hard drive?? I just want to get some feedback before I send back the drive for a new one. There seems to be 2 different models for Purple hard drives on Amazon, is there one that I should get over the other?
