Samsung 870 QVO SSD Drive - geni.us/870qvo --- If you would like to support the channel and fancy one of these drives, you can find it on Amazon here. Thanks!

I've just put an 870 EVO into my DVR, I too am concerned about the rolling record and how the SSD will cope with being full continually. I didn't find an answer but brought one nonetheless. I shall find out soon enough I suppose.

Mine has been rolling for a while now at max capacity and I haven’t noticed any problems whatsoever. 👍🏻 I’m still enjoying the improved response time and silent operation.

It will likely fail within 2 years... all of mine have (2 sets of SSD in my DVR). SSDs, while providing faster access, cannot handle constant rewrites in the same way conventional drives can. I would suggest NOT switching to SSDs.

@@michaelcarnohan ok, but did you see the age of my comment? I have long ago got one and stuck it in. I could always delete/format it before it gets full which seems to be quite a while. Its not full yet (4 months). I shall bear it in mind though.

@@JackDinn if your Samsung ends up lasting, good on you. My PNY and Kensington drives failed. Biggest inconvenience for me was when the drive stops on my platform, so does live view through the app I use to monitor. So the hassle hasn't been worth it. I could see with another system where things last a bit longer, it being okay. For me, I'd rather have a surveillance drive pulling duty, uninterrupted for a decade, than risk the day when the SSD will eventually die. Not to mention when full, and in rewrite mode, the benefit of a SSD starts to trend towards conventional drive speeds on most DVR controllers (because many don't implement TRIM, etc). So yeah, good video, but optimistic using factory life cycle ratings in my experience.

@michaelcarnohan cool, yea I would think you have decided the best course of action. I have just taken another look and it's actually just under half full so I should get about 8-10 months approx before needing to format it. But I was hoping there might be a way to tell it to only use X amount of space or maybe only store X amount of time, this would have solved the problem as I could have just set it to use half the drive and then start rolling over. Unfortunately it does not so I just turned off the write over all together and I assume it will say something when it gets full and I can then format it. Will take 2 minutes once a year'ish.

I’m sticking with the hard drive I just bought a new one for my system. It is a Toshiba 6TB S300 Surveillance HDD - 3.5' SATA Internal Hard Drive Supports up to 64 HD cameras at a 180TB/Year workload and I have currently got 7 cameras up I can have up to 16 cameras on the house, which I have done, but the electric cost too much so now down to 7 All analog cameras by the way Just like to add, I got 2 One terabyte hard drive in my system at the minute, I can get roughly 4 months before it starts to go over the old footage and it’s on constant record, 24/7

Thanks for the video.. I've been dreaming of putting an enterprise 2.5 ssd (Kingston DC600M) on my nvr as well, but the price is too steep, but it's nice to look at shiny expensive things even one cannot afford it. With regards to how long will a consumer ssd perform as a surveillance drive , I hope you can make a followup video, maybe checking SSD's health perhaps.. Enterprise SSDs, in theory will outlast the consumer grade one, or is it that of a big difference. I hope somebody out there slaps an enterprise grade ssd into there nvrs And make a video about it.. thanks for the video again mate .

Did you have any issues with the new SSD when the drive filled up?

@tdcattech 4 ай бұрын

I do feel like performance may have dropped off a little bit. Nothing failed in any way though and, to be honest, I might have imagined it. As a result, however, I formatted the drive and then allocated space to each of the cameras leaving about 250GB free on the drive that would never be used. I have no idea if that would help but I like to experiment!
