The bare minimum HDD storage configuration should be 4 enterprise class HDD's. In this scenario, the 4 drives should be divided into 2 independent RAID 1 pairs. The first RAID 1 pair can be small enough to hold just the Windows operating system along with at least 50% additional free space. The second RAID 1 pair should be as large as possible to hold both the video information and the database file. Please see the table below:
| Disk Drives | Configuration | Settings | Partitions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Enterprise Class HDD's | RAID 1 (Mirror) | n/a | Recommend single partition with NTFS or ReFS to hold Windows Operating System |
| 2 Enterprise Class HDD's | RAID 1 (Mirror) | n/a | Recommend single partition |
| for both video and database |
