USB 3.0 Hard Drive for local storage Base unit VMB4540

[Rich36]

Has anyone tried connecting a Hard drive USB device with USB 3.0 for local storage? Stats say to use USB 2.0. or type A connection.  Only difference between 3.0 and 2.0 is data transfer speed.  Is there a data transfer speed restriction for the base unit?

USB 3 offers no advantage since the USB 2 has plenty of speed overhead for recording many cameras at once. That's also why 100Mbps Ethernet is used for hubs/bases - there's no advantage to going faster.

To answer your question, yes I have mine on a usb 3 hard drive and have no problem with it.
