A quick simple question for people in the know..

I have a 16 channel DVR, http://platinum-cctv.com/16_Camera_Network_Standalone_DVR.asp

Model DVR-8816RT with a 2TB HD installed on the sata 2 connection and a DVD on sata 1.

Due to running so many cameras i can only record for a week, so i brought another 2TB HD to add to it.

 

Now the question are all DVR different, or can i just add this new hard drive to the DVR and all be ok, or as the DVR is set to record over old data will it cause an issue. I would like to use the new hard drive as the master drive (if there such a thing) so its used first to record on and then uses the older drive. The new drive a a WD red drive so i rather this drive get he main bulk of use.

 

So if i put my new drive on sata 2 and move the current one to sata 3 ail it cause issues as the data of recordings will not be in order, or are DVR system cleaver enough to just see it as data on the drives and not record over the current data until the week has gone by.

 

 

Thanks
