soft reboot through app caused my HDD not to initialize. 
 

This was a 2TB Toshiba Hard drive. 
 

Unplugging and plugging back in the H500 brings it back to life. Seems to be a fw bug at this point. I was worried the drive bit the bullet at first.

Are you able to replicate this problem? Or is it a one-time thing?

  @Wayne-TP for the H500, can we use 3.5 HDD enclosure which has its own dedicated power supply and then connect it via SATA to the hub? Will it work?

Upon checking, such unconventional hard drive connection methods are not mentioned in any resources of the Tapo H500 hub. Therefore, we cannot confirm whether this would be feasible, and we advise against trying it to prevent any potential issues in the future.

I see. This is because i was looking at HDD surveillance, but found it only available for 3.5" only. And I read a lot users complaining the drive 2.5" is very hot. So, thinking of using 3.5" instead of 2.5". Is it possible to get the technical team to try on this approach? if can, then it really help most of the users, especially, want to switch from Vigi NVR back to Tapo H500 hub.

Hi Wayne

 

I think I have just struck the same issue as others toniight after adding a Tapo D235 to my setup this afternoon

 

i have a 2Tb Silicon Power A55 SSD which has been running fine since 22 August. Aside from the D235, I have 5 C120's and 3 C325WB's connected. The C325's were constantly recording and all the rest were on motion detection. All have local SD cards but storage location is set to H500

 

As of tonight I can no longer see the SSD at all and the disk light does not come on. 
 

Nothing I have done has brought it back to life. Taking the drive out and attaching to a sata adapter I can see the device in the device manager but not in Windows Explorer (don't know if this is expected though)

 

Please advise

 

Thanks

 

Darryl

Seem like H500 is very unstable for now (especially for 24/7 recording). Guess i just stick to use Vigi NVR.
