I bought my used 9020 Dell Optiplex to run 4 x 2MP cameras' and continuous recording. Worked great! Now, I'm upto 11 cameras with 3 x 8MP. Had to change continuous to motion only because only have a 2TB Western Digital Purple harddrive. The manufacturer specs on this PC states can only go upto 2TB hard drive. I'm not sure if that means 2TB per SATA channel or 2TB total for the system. Anyone else with a Dell Optiplex that has a larger HD than 2TB?

Well now... that was too simple. Replaced my 2TB #2 stoarge drive with 8TB WD purple. No issues at all. Thought the Dell Optiplex PDF stated max HD of 2TB (does not state MBR or as 2nd HD). Glad it is either outdated PDF or newer bios firmware or something. Now can run continuous recordings!
