If its to avoid claims, affordable has a whole lot more wiggle room.

Re: [AFMUG] Large Single Volume Data Storage Options
Ask your customer what risk they want to take. If they are OK (and sign off on) the fact they might loose a bunch of data due to a JBOD disk failure then go for it.. Otherwise, networked attached or direct attached RAID. ryan On 7/14/15 10:27 AM, Nate Burke wrote: 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.
