Title: Drive to Capture Video recommendations
Post by: Chalenge on December 10, 2014, 07:01:56 PM: I want a drive to record uncompressed video to. The idea is that up 500 GB (6 hours) of uncompressed video at 1080p 60fps will be recorded daily, erased, and then the same operation the following day for 365 days of the year.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Post by: Chalenge on December 15, 2014, 10:13:29 PM: Skuzzy, while I like the idea of cheap I cannot find enough of these drives in stock. I'm thinking about trying the 15k.7 and a VR.

If you know of a source that might have 90 of the NS drives in stock please let me know.

Post by: Chalenge on December 16, 2014, 06:02:28 PM: Okay. Well I ordered a few different drives to test. Thank you for your input. I probably would not have tried that one otherwise.

Just out of curiosity what are you doing? Capturing video of 90 employees work day? :)
