Thanks. I know no hard drive last all that long, and DVR drives have much more stress put on them due to constant writing and reading. Heck, even SSD's die. Short of building a cheap NAS or buying one I am limited to the internal drive bay (2.5" only) and 1 external SATA. I suppose I could also do a USB 3.0 drive, but that doesn't help. I don't know of a cheap NAS that would give me redundancy and be worth the price for primarily storing recordings. If anybody does I am all ears. Of course I'd also like to keep the electricity usage down if possible, that's why I ordered this nettop box.
