Excellent HDD

HDD Capacity: 8TB

I have an Ubiquiti UniFi OS UDM Pro Dream Machine, and recently purchase an Ubiquiti Doorbell camera. The UDM has an HDD slot, but no HDD, so I contacted PB-Tech on advice for what was recommended. Got excellent advice. Ordered, it arrived, powered down the UDM, inserted the HDD into the cradle, started UDM and it found the HDD and initialised it, and hey presto can now go back and see recorded video from the doorbell. Excellent outcome.
