Pros & cons of installing an SSD inside your NVR

We cover the pros and cons of installing an SSD or an HDD inside of your video recorder.
If you're looking to add storage to your video recorder, you have two options. You could go with a traditional hard drive, which is a spinning disk. Or you could choose an SSD, which has no moving parts and is generally a lot faster.

if the 10 TB is written every 38 days, just wondering how many cameras you have and what is their resolution?

[@xlrsecurity]

We have eight cameras and all of them are either 4MP or 5MP. They are recording continuously 24/7 and we enabled Uniview H.265+ advanced codec on most of them.
