I currently have one USB drive with two partitions to support USB Media and TeslaCam for Sentry and Dashcam storage but I am quickly realizing I need two separate drives.
I have nearly 225GB of music so that drive would see very little data writing and should last a very long time and I'd like to keep that drive separate.
Meanwhile the TeslaCam folder will see many data writes causing drive degredation and when that happens I'd just like to be able to replace the TeslaCam drive without having to redo my entire music collection. Plus I can then get a WIFI drive so I can view TeslaCam folder videos any time, transfer videos, and delete old sentry videos.
So this necessitates a USB hard that allows two drives to be plugged in so I can maintain individual drives for music and TeslaCam. Has anyone does this? To keep "cable clutter" to a minimum, can two drives be supported with a USB splitter type cable, essentially creating an unpowered USB hub with two USB data ports?
Appreciate any ideas on the best way to do this!
The reason I'm trying to figure out a WIFI solution is because I feel plugging and unplugging the drive will eventually lead to data corruption between both the media player and Sentry/Dashcam potentially having files open in the USB drive. All the WIFI drives I have found do not support two FAT32 partitions within the same drive hence the need to get a WIFI drive that supports one FAT32 partition for TeslaCam.
