Just as a warning to anyone looking to attach a humongous portable hard drive to a Tesla Model S: After 400GB of clips the MCU begins to crash and struggle holding all the clips in memory.
You'll experience slow scrolling and paralyzing loading screens on a 2TB Hard Drive after the 400GB mark. I can give the loading screen to the mechanical architecture but the slow scrolling does seem a little strange on the software side.
If you never delete clips on a 1-2TB HDD, you'll begin to experience Sentry Mode and Dash Cam refusing to identify the drive as usable.
It's possible that this issue is caused by multiple casualties by deciding to use a mechanical drive, but at times it seems entirely like a software related limitation. I've only ever managed to get SentryMode to create 400GB before refusing to stay connected to the drive or create new files. As it's a little unreasonable pricewise, I won't be able to test the same issue on a very large Solid State Drive.
Could be caused by temperature, slow seek speed, or software failures. Reminds me of the 2TB iPod mod that would end up crashing due to out of memory errors.
As a personal fix, I'm likely to buy a much smaller Tesla recommended flash drive. It seems that even under tested drives they haven't recommended anything over 64GB. I'm guessing they just have the software dropping as many files as possible without regard for fundamental limits of software or drive speed.
