Hikvision NVR maximum external NAS

[lewislitt 0]

Hi all,

 

We are looking to build a system with 86TB storage. Hikvision spec states it supports up to 8 NAS disks. So does this mean it only supports to 8 HDDs which if I use 6TB WD red would only go up to 48TB of NAS storage?

 

In this case paired with the 8 SATA 2U 32ch Unit, we can only have 80TB of storage max?

 

Thanks in advance.

You'll need to use more than an 8 disk array if you want 86TB

 

I'd go for a 12 disk NAS plus an add-on to give you another 12 disks. This will give you 24 disks in total.

 

Something like the Synology DS2415+, plus the DX1215 expansion unit might give you what you're after.

 

These units support a maximum volume size of 108TB however one unit will only support 72TB. You'll want to ensure you have some redundancy rather than striping across the whole unit, you don't want to lose your array if one drive fails.

 

Hikvision is a DVR and would support up to 6 internal disks so even with RAID0 you could only get 36TB storage, you'll need to use a separate NAS to get the storage capability you desire.

 

Hope that's of some assistance to you.
