Set the recorder’s storage mode in this menu.
Two different storage modes are available in order to
either divide video data among all the hard disk drives or
to allow for targeted write operations for individual
storage devices.
Warning
When using NetHDDs, ensure that your network is
of a sufficient size.
Note
The playback of recorded data may be slower
if you use NetHDDs than if you are using the
internal hard disk drives.
Choose from eight NetHDDs.
