My new setup, based upon the advice here at IP Cam Talk, is working well. Thanks for the inputs. My replacement c drive (WD 1TB, 2 1/2") is dedicated to Windows 10 Pro, BIT, and BI. Plus a couple of support utilities. My new d drive (WD Purple 6TB) is dedicated to BI database and the NEW folder. The STORED and the ALERTS folders are set to zero storage. This setup is working great!
Now on my old original c drive (1 TB,3 1/2", which came with the new pc (refurbished Dell OptiPlex 7050, i7-7700, 8 GB DDR4 2400)), is in a SATA III USB 3 HD enclosure. This drive has ~900 GB of my original BVR and JPG files. Can I merge these files into the new NEW folder on the new d drive? Would I then run a db repair? I'd like to keep these files. Then I could delete them off the USB drive and use it elsewhere.
Related Question: My BI database is now on d:\blueiris\db. I recently read that it should be on the fastest drive. How do I move it to the c:\ drive? Do I change it on the Clips and Archiving screen and then do a database repair/regenerate?
Thanks!
