15.3.23 Configuring Hard Drive Groups (Advanced)

Hard drive groups allow you to balance recordings across multiple hard drives. For ex-
ample, 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 24 DNR500 Series
Hard Drive Installation, page 159.
