  1. Some people have mentioned that DS2 units won't recognize/use all HDD's connected. That is true by default but can me overcome very easily. I have a unit running 4 HDD's, each 2TB, for total of 8TB of video recording space. Since DS2 uses FAT32, and FAT32 is limited to max partition size of 2TB, there is no sense in using drives larger that that! You can check your configuration using web page -> configuration options -> Tools -> System Variables. For 4 HDD's you should have disk_mask 463(0x1CF) disk_string "A-D,G-I" video_disk_mask 204(0xCC) video_disk_string "C-D,G-H" By default DS2 is configured to use 1 HDD more than it came with from the factory. If you need more you need to modify I:\etc\vidcfg.ini For 4 HDD the file should look like: #--------------------------------------- # Vidcfg.ini file #--------------------------------------- # [Partition 1] path=C:\video max_blocks=-1 file_size=52428800 disk_offset=16384 # #--------------------------------------- # [Partition 2] path=D:\video max_blocks=-1 file_size=52428800 disk_offset=16384 # #--------------------------------------- # [Partition 5] path=G:\video max_blocks=-1 file_size=52428800 disk_offset=16384 # #--------------------------------------- # [Partition 6] path=H:\video max_blocks=-1 file_size=52428800 disk_offset=16384 # #---------------------------------------
