Hard Drive Guidelines
For trouble free operation of this DVR we recommend that you adhere to these guidelines when
choosing hard drives for the EDVRCD series:
•
Use the same IDE protocol
(e.g. ATA133) of Hard Drive (HDD)
•
These drive sizes only must be used;
Choose either 80/120/160 or 250Gb Hard Drive
Different IDE protocol is NOT supported (e.g. 1st Drive: ATA133, 2nd Drive: ATA???)
•
Preferably use the same size Hard Drives for both (e.g. 1st Drive: Maxtor 160Gb ATA133, 2nd Drive:
Maxtor 160Gb ATA133) although different size drives are still compatible.
•
Maxtor and Seagate Hard Drives are both compatible
with the EDVRDCD series.
This DVR does not support Western Digital Hard Drives.
