additional hard drive

westgate_749916356645047

I have a RLK8-520D4 with four cameras installed. The storage with the existing 2TB drive lasts only for 9 days.

Two questions, does this unit have a secondary spare HDD slot?

Can non matching HDD work alongside each other? I see reolink articles state that some systems can use two 4TB side by side. Is that the case for RLK8-520D4? And can I add a 4TB drive to the existing 2TB drive? Or should I purchase two 4TB drives?

Currently 9 days of storage. If I slot in a secondary 4TB drive, I would have a total of 27 days, does that sound about right? Also, do you have any tips adjusting the capture rate to significantly reduce storage space? Thanks! Andy ok more than two questions, but ...

The product specifications seem to indicate that the internal hard drive can be up to 6 TB and there can be one external SATA drive that is up to 6TB.

There is a support article showing how to remove the internal hard drive and connect an external hard drive.

Reducing from 5MP to 4MP or 3MP, and reducing FPS from 25 to 15 can save a lot of space. tunnel rush
