2X up to 8TB Hard Drives

[Realist]

Guys,

Purchased a newish CCTV DVR that takes up to 8TB so I'm looking for one or two drives (IDE) not sata.

Currently using two old 60gb and 80gb drives for now but they are not going to hold much data.

Regards

Are you sure you want IDE in a 'newish' device? It was superseded a very long time ago now and I've never heard of an IDE above 1TB.

If they are SATA then you might be better looking at 3TB or 4TB drives as they are better on cost:capacity ratio. Western Digital have a Purple line specifically for CCTV although the Red drives are probably just as good in real-world use. (Purple drives claim to capture more frames than other drives but I am not totally convinced, both Purple and Red are for 24/7 use, 3 year warranty).

Its a IDE drive.

My old system is sata but didn't have jog or shuttle feature and it only cost me £31 from the states, cost more to ship it over.

2TB is the biggest I can find and the cheapest I've seen is £50 quid from amazon.

Thanks bud.

i think he was asking for a link to the 2TB IDE drive, he has a good point that its very unusual to find an IDE of that size, i thought 500GB was the max (based on the fact its the biggest ive seen)

[plug1]

750 is max on IDE , he's not the sharpest drill bit.

thanks for that, is their a reason 750GB is the max, just out of interest

[Teajunkie]

I have a couple somewhere if you want them mate but I think they are only 250gb and 120gb I will have to trawl the loft so let me know if you want them.

[Mickey]

You will be very lucky to get anything over 500 gig theesedays on IDE

Yeh because IDE is effectively obsolete . You don't make parts that no one wants . And 750 is where IDE reached EOL .

[Realist]

Now that's an idea cos my old CCTV unit has a 1TB sata and this way its a win, win

Looking into this idea.

Thanks bud.

ah ok, wondered if their was some technical limitation

[Teajunkie]

Hijacking your thread a bit here sorry

What's your old system fella?
you looking to get shot of it as I was thinking of investing in one to cover the garden and driveway.

if not any recommendations on a really cheap kit with cameras.

[Realist]

God I've had it for well over 4 years never missed a beat and only changing it because I wanted jog/shutter facilities.

The old one you have to manually enter a time, date etc for search and then press fast forward via the remote where the new one I can just turn a wheel.

The name of it is Xvision X8DVR.

Plus just opened the old system up and found I had 2x drives installed both sata 1x 250gb and the other 500gb not the 1tb I thought I had.

[Realist]

If anyone is interested in the old system above I'll let it go for £90.00 inc of postage and a 250gb sata drive installed. (no cameras only the DVR with 250gb drive and power supply).

That will cover what the new system cost.
