I'm looking to upgrade the storage on my HomeBase 3 and wondering about the best SSD options. What capacity and brand do you recommend for optimal performance and longevity? Any specific models that work well?
According to eufy, any 5V 2.5" storage drive (HDD or SSD) with a SATA interface will work.
After trying different storage options, I settled on a Crucial BX500 4TB SSD for my Homebase 3. It handles continuous recording without breaking a sweat, and I never have to worry about running out of space for my data. If you're planning for the future, this capacity is the way to go.
I've been using a Samsung 870 QVO 4TB SSD in my Homebase 3, and it's been fantastic. It handles continuous recording without a hitch, and I have plenty of space for future expansion. The large capacity ensures I don't lose any important data.
Any 2.5" SSD or HDD is compatible with the hb3. A 500GB SSD from a reputable brand offers a good balance of capacity and affordability. I've used various drives in different setups: a 2TB Crucial MX500 in one hb3, a 1TB Crucial MX500 in another, and a used 500GB Samsung drive in a third. While larger capacities are available, 500GB often suffices for most users. Repurposing a quality used drive with good SMART data can also be a cost-effective option.
Get a 2TB or 4TB SSD.
Western Digital Red SA500 SSD work great too. I'm using the 2TB model. They're designed for 24/7 operation and can handle constant writing from security cameras. Just make sure to get the 2.5" SATA version, not the 3.5" ones.
Samsung 2.5 inch SSD.
Just get a best selling 2.5 SSD.
Any 2.5 inch SSD is OK, just don't use HDD.
4TB SSD is recommended.
