Hard Drive and Storage Planning

Two SATA bays, up to 16 TB each, so 32 TB fitted out — and that second bay is the whole reason to choose this over the single-bay K1.

The arithmetic: running all eight channels at the recorder's full 80 Mbps, continuous recording writes about 864 GB a day, so 32 TB gives you roughly five weeks before it overwrites. Worth knowing that the four-channel K1 lands in the same place — bandwidth and capacity scale together, so stepping up channel count doesn't buy you longer retention. If you want more history, that comes from disk size or from recording on motion, not from a bigger recorder.

Trade tip: fit a surveillance-rated drive. Continuous write cycles are what these are built for, and a desktop disk in a recorder is the commonest cause of a system that quietly stopped recording months before anyone checked.

On power, the recorder draws no more than 15 W. The 80 W headline is the unit with all eight PoE ports powering cameras — that's your camera budget, not your electricity bill. Size a UPS from 80 W; estimate running cost from 15.
