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.

I will follow this.

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?

I haven't tried to run a camera server off of Unraid yet, but I've thought about it (would like to at some point).  So, I have no experience but my first thought was also the Unassigned drives plugin.

Sorry for the delay--been busy.

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.

I just finished setting this up, and that's the way I decided to go. Seems to be working great. Just gave the disk a name of 'security' and shared out the whole thing.
