<br></div>I am considering adding a 2TB WD disk to my system (WD2002FAEX).<br><br></div>What, if any, problems might I run into?</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>If you have a port free, I can't imagine any problems. Just install it, mount it somewhere, create a "recordings" directory on it, then add the path to that directory to your recordings storage group.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>It's important that you create a directory on the drive and use it, not the mount point, in your storage group. Failure to do so can cause your system drive to fill up if the new drive ever fails to mount or goes offline for any reason.</div>
