slow access to hd with millions of files
We have our security cameras recording to a 3 TB hard drive and it tends to get loaded with LOTS of files, well into the millions, loaded into subfolders based on camera, year, month, whether photos or videos (ex: f:\hikvision2\2017\01\photos). Access to this hard drive has become cumbersome - it takes minutes just to get a directory listing.
I've already gone down the "change to general file type instead of photos" route, still slow access.
I'd be interested in getting input on how to best address this issue and be able to maintain a history of files from the security cameras.
