You guys are bad for my budget...lol.....dammit!
So, will the HP be able to handle an SSD for the OS and 2 3.5" hdd? Does it have enough SATA ports and sata power plugs from the PSU? Basically what I'm saying is: The PC I'm looking at comes with an SSD. Will I be able to add 2 hdd's to this model? Thanks.This time I followed Fendermans recommendation and got the Hp Elitedesk SFF( Small form Factor) it is had 2 3.5" hard drive bays and runs windows from an NVME on board hard drive. This works better on my cameras as far as playback system response. Half the Camera's continue writing data happily while the other drive works hard to call up the video file for playback.
Makes my system more responsive and my CPU %age runs a bit lower with 2 drives.
I'm kind of striking out right now. No room for 1 SSD and 2 3.5".
Yeah the 7040 has shrunk. It houses 1-2.5 bay and 1-3.5 bay. Not good for a bigger system. Might be ok for 6-8 cams on one drive.
I'm running an Elitedesk, if you dont need many cams, you could search for the Elitedesk 800 g2 SFF, or the 800 G3, or the 800 G4, in Small Form Factor (SFF) if you have room for a TowerWhat about the HP Elitedesk? Do you know anything about it. I'm trying to find out info on that also. I'm looking at some info right now. I hope I find out good info.
