Smackover Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I have a Milestone VM running on Unraid that I want to store the footage from. I don't think I really need parity, so where's the best place to store it? I'm thinking since I have an SSD cache drive that I'd like to reduce my writes on it, so maybe one disk through unassigned drives? TIA for suggestions. Quote Link to comment

Right now i’am using motioneye docker, with a wd purple unassigned disk. Thats working great. But i have worked with milestone way back, through my work. How is it performing in a vm? Do you passthrough a gfx? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

So, I have no experience but my first thought was also the Unassigned drives plugin. Quote Link to comment

Do you passthrough a gfx? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm using Milestone with two Dahua 1080p cameras, with plans to add more in the future. Milestone seems to be running fine, and I have no issues viewing the feeds via the software or the mobile app on wifi. On cell service the quality drops, but that is to be expected. I haven't passed through a GPU, but I'm not totally against the idea. I recall that it helps with the video rendering, but I don't know if its worth it for only two cameras. About the only complaint is that it generats a ton of video footage, as I record 24/7.

Just gave the disk a name of 'security' and shared out the whole thing. Quote Link to comment
