Securame 0 Posted May 12, 2015 What DVRs, and what HDs? I do not remember ever having a problem with 4Tb HDs, we only use WD Purple 4Tb now, with Hikvision and Dahua DVRs/NVRs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lethanhtrung 0 Posted May 12, 2015 we use Seagate HDD with DVRs (Dahua, iCatch, XiongMai...) and it seems that only dahua has less problem, other ones often can not recognize large HDD (>3TB) after a period time of using (about 2,3 months) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
