TX_Pilot Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I am building out a new NVR that will run in a VM on my Unraid server. I have seen several comments suggesting that video from the NVR should not be stored on the array, but rather a unassigned disk or a pool specific for video recordings. My question is why? Is there a compelling reason I don't want to use the array? My array is running with Seagate X18 Exos drives. Quote Link to comment
