Here you’ll find a comprehensive list of 

hard drives connected to the DVR.
Typically, there will be one entry here, 

and it will be the hard drive that came 

with the DVR 

(if one was included)

 - you’ll 

get many years of usage out of the 

included hard drive.
Drives connected to the internal SATA 

ports will be listed according to the SATA 

port they’re connected to.
External drives connected via eSATA 

will be listed here, and will behave like a 

standard hard drive. They will be labeled 

as eSATA.
External drives connected via USB 

will 

not

 appear on this list, and can’t be 

used to record footage - USB lacks the 

bandwidth to write multiple streams 

simultaneously. External USB drives can 

only be used for backing up footage.

S.M.A.R.T. 

(Self-Monitoring, Analysis 

and Reporting Technology - gotta love 

a good acronym) is your hard drive’s 

way of telling the DVR how it’s going.

Status:

 The current condition of the 

hard drive. It should say “Good”. If it 

says anything else, this indicates there’s 

a problem with your hard drive.
If there’s no problem, there’s little else 

to do here, unless reading the output 

of the dozens of self-tests the hard 

drive performs on itself is of interest to 

you.
If you have been confronted with a HDD 

Error, or the Status entry doesn’t read 

“Good” then you can use the S.M.A.R.T. 

information to attempt to diagnose the 

problem. The information presented 

in the S.M.A.R.T. report is practically 

identical to what you’d see on a 

desktop PC while using 

Administrator 

Tools

, or a similar service.

Device: HDD

Device: S.M.A.R.T.
