Folks - are most of you keeping 15% free space on your surveillance hard drives to run it efficiently or no need with Windows 10 OS these days? I want to make sure I'm setting my clips and archiving setting correctly but of course maximize how many days the recordings are kept. In windows, the drive shows 8,001,545,039,872 or 7.27 TB capacity. What would you set your stored folder size to be before it starts deleting files? Thx
