How big are the hard drives on this server ? This can ( and most likely will ) go on forever....

Oh, as an example from SouthernYankee Advanced storage: If you are using a complete disk for large video file storage (BVR) continuous recording, I recommend formatting the disk, with a windows cluster size of 1024K (1 Megabyte). This is a increase from the 4K default. This will reduce the...

I kicked the RAID idea as I have rebuilt many RAID systems. Trying to rebuild a RAID that's writing as this will is insane. Been building systems and own my own store for over 20 years. I'm newish to BI, not at all new to the game. I have worked on thousands of systems (no joke) and have...

Oh, and I wouldn't be shocked if he does have security along with cameras.

Whoa, back to confusion. If we have a failure, we can deal with a day or two tops. The only issue with multiple systems is multiple ends of failure. More raid drives, more chance of a drive going. I see both ends. The idea of the i9-7980XE was to aid with quick sync. Mild video card if I...

I have a ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe here. Pairing that with a i9-7980XE would be a better solution ? Was pulled off the job for a bit, and just getting back at this. Thoughts on that board ? How many cameras can record to one drive at a time ? Any experience with that ? Skip the raid and...

Oh I'm well aware of heat, and the stupid cost of hardware now. Fortunately money isn't a problem in this build, and he's aware that this isn't the time to find deals. It's going to be expensive, but he wants me to put something together. And to be honest I want to build it :) I believe...

Wow, deep dive. Thanks for sharing !

I don't think he's going to want to maintain multiple systems. Are you off loading computing to the dual GTX1650's ? Can we do that ? Haven't built anything that needed or was able to do so.

All my rigs are RAID10 as well. One 14 X 3Tb image server. For computer images, not cameras. I seen many pop the second drive trying to rebuild for days with other raids. However 64Tb is a crazy rebuild.. I would ask if the data was that important at that point (If the footage wasn't in...

Again, the client knows it's going to be expensive. Lets say he has the funds to do whatever he wants to be honest. One of those, he wants what he wants. Is there somewhere I can see the limit of BI ? Windows 10 , this is what I get from Microsoft Docs : NTFS can support volumes as...

Many thanks for the ideas ! Funny I was actually looking at the Corsair Obsidian Series 750D . I'll take a look @ the Thermaltake Core V71 as well. Having an issue finding a motherboard with 8 SATA that the m.2 doesn't kill. In a LGA 1200 Chipset socket for the 10900K. I wont go any lower...

Many thanks for the quick reply ! 3 viewers max at any one given time. One more than likely inside. Retail environment. My understanding is indoor building with 10-12 foot ceilings. Great lighting. The cameras are all ready up to my dismay, and as far as traffic, it will be busy...

I have a build I need to do with 40 cameras @ 4K recording on motion. BI is the flavor for PCNVR. I need 36 for sure, but possibly 40 max. I have built a few PCNVR's but nothing on this scale. Client wants 30 days storage. I figure 12 hours active and 12 off, 7 days a well. Is this...
