One of the companies I work with does a lot of video surveillance. They
were using iSCSI Buffalo TeraStations for one of the jobs (50+ cameras
for a Casino).

A 2-3TB HD should be all you need for over 30 days of storage with motion-based

I'm getting ready to install a 20+ camera system for a customer that
want's 9-5 Full Time Recording with 30 days storage. So he can go back
and check work comp cases to see if employees were really hurt on the
job. My Calcs come in at needing around 4-5tb of storage to accomplish
this, so I'd like the server to have 6-8tb of storage for some
overhead. Rather than building out a server with a bunch of drive bays,
RAID Card and mirroring/striping drives etc, I was wondering if anyone
has used an External JBOD enclosure for this? I'm thinking like a DROBO
unit or similar. Any Caveats to watch out for? Is there too much disk
IO to have this work well over a LAN, USB 3.0, or Thunderbolt
connection? What other (Affordable) options am I missing to get a bunch
of storage in a single volume for the NVR?
