16.4.14 Configuring Hard Drive Groups (Advanced)

Hard drive groups allow you to balance recordings across multiple hard drives. For example,
you can record channels 1~4 to one hard drive and 4~8 to a second hard drive. This can reduce
the amount of wear on the hard drives and may extend the life of the hard drives.
NOTE
Two hard drives must be installed in the system to use hard drive groups, and both hard drives must be formatted
as Read-write hard drives. For details on installing hard drives, see 21 Replacing the Hard Drive, page 97.
To configure hard drive groups:
1. From the Live View display, right-click to open the Quick Menu, then click Main Menu.
2. Click , then click STORAGE. Click the HDD ADVANCE tab on the side panel,
then click the HDD Setting tab on the top panel.
3. Under HDD Group, assign a group to each hard drive. To set up two hard drive groups, as-
sign one hard drive to group 1 and the other to group 2.
4. Click Apply. The system will restart to apply changes.
5. When the system restarts, right-click to open the Quick Menu, then click Main Menu.
