Model: Tapo H500  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.1

Hi. A few days ago I bought and installed an H500 hub. I have an existing 10 camera setup as well as a H200 hub. At the time I setup the H500 I used an old 250GB Samsung SSD as storage. I'm gradually migrating all the cameras over to the H500. Everything is working fine, but I realized that I need a larger SSD. 

I bought a new Samsung 1TB drive. What next? I'm OK l with loosing the current stored video since it is only a few days worth and there's nothing important captured.  My concern is I don't know what other info I will loose when I swap the drives. Will I loose any settings or configurations for the 8 cameras now installed on the H500? I'm hoping that once the drive is formatted things will just continue as before (except no old videos).

Quick Update: I just powered the H500 down, replaced the old SSD with a new Samsung MZ-77E1T0B/AM (1TB), and powered it up. Soon I got a notification in the Tapo app that the drive needed formatting. It only took a few seconds to format. All that cameras quickly connected and they appear to be happy. The only odd thing was it took several minutes for the D230 doorbell to connect. I started worrying but it eventually got sorted. Just for grins I when to the H500's Storage screen and erased cleared all recordings for each camera. I don't think that was necessary. It's been running for a couple hours and all looks good.
