jjp2014 0 Posted January 28, 2014 I am working on a Police rescue boat, heavy wave action, hard slams and pitch, roll, Yaw effects on DVR unit. I have replaced 3 Hard-drives so far they started as standard laptop 350gig hard-drive, upgraded to Extreme use 500 gig HD, then upgraded the hard-drive cradle to have more movement suppression, re-mounted the DVR unit into a foam mount.... Lastly I am looking at Solid state drives ... We have a 4 channel DVR designed for Mobile use (dash-cam) We have (2) Garmin mini-golf ball cameras [one to rear of boat one to front of boat] then we have a chart plotter mapped into channel 3 and radar mapped to channel 4. ..... I am not readily by the dvr unit so I dont have exact unit info/ specs. any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varascope 0 Posted January 29, 2014 SSD would be my recommendation The question is how many days of storage do you want? If 3-5 days then it shouldn't be too expensive. Intel Model SSDSC2CT180A4K5 is what I recommend. 180G $150 But here is the tricky part. Without knowing the transfer rate, your recording frame rate and bitrate, need to check your DVR can support 6GBS transfer or are you limited to 3Gbs. Please PM me with updates as I am curious of the results. Are you on a Boston Whaler? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
