November 4, 20223 yr My 2TB 5200RPM Drive its having a long death, so time to find its replacement. Im running a Xeoma Docker instance, connected to around 16 IP Cameras, Resolution 4MP, all H265, each has a data load of around 500 - 2MB/s with my current settings, so a total for all the cameras 30 - 40MB/s. My current WD Golds data transfer average its 180MB/s, so that means a 7200RPM drive can handle a lot of cameras (64 Cameras)... Im thinking my numbers are probably way off. But well, the latest Seagate 2TB its having a premature death, so maybe this setup its a little hard on the HDD's.... or not?. Would it be better to setup an small 512 / 1TB SSD as a cache of the recordings?, and then send each day to the HDD?. Not sure if a lot of writes are better handled with a Enterprise SSD, or a spinnning one. -- Are the CCTV Drives any different?. Current Setup: 2TB Seagate, Single Pool Device, BTFRS partition. Requirements: No need to have parity on this data. Try to not kill the HDD / SSD too fast. Able to handle future expansion, maybe 20 - 30 cameras in total Thanks!
