Hi there Flintstone61,
There are 10 drives total. drive C: is an intel datacenter 800GB drive that is meant to only be for the OS and the program files.
drives D through K are all 16TB or 18TB Seagate seahawk drives that are meant for the cascading of clips... so thats a total of 8 spinning disk drives for the streams.
One they reach drive K they get deleted.
Clips are only stored for a total of 23 days.
drive L: is a Samsung nvme drive for
blueiris database and nothing more. ....
The crashing had been occurring since before the installation of the nvme drive so we dont think its that, and it has sped up the ability to search for clips.
nothing in the log files points to any issues with drive D through K, or drive C or L either as far as I can see (in regards to blue irirs crashing, anyways)
I just did an exact count of the cameras..
41 cameras are IP cameras, 39 of them are expected to record continuously 24/7
1 USB camera that does not record at all
2 IP cameras are expected to simply take pics when they detect any kind of motion.
all codeproject.ai software and python have been removed for troubleshooting of this issue.
the server is a supermicro
System Model X9DAX
dual CPU.. so 2 of these:
Processor Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2687W 0 @ 3.10GHz, 3101 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)
here are the specs for the integrated graphics and the nvidia cards:

We rarely have a monitor plugged into it, most of the time we just use remote desktop to log in.
And as previously stated, the nvidia cards are almost never used because they dont provide much help.
If you think that the nvidia cards have anything to do with the crashing we can remove them (or replace them with a better GPU) but i dont think thats the case because no re-encoding is ever done, every stream goes straight to disk.
If theres any other info yo think might help please let me know. Blue iris is great value for the money
when it works. Id hate to have to switch to other software. Id even rather upgrade the hardware if its a hardware spec issue rather than switching software, just because of how well it has worked for us up until the point of it starting to crash due to whaever these issues are.
again, thank you for any help Troubleshooting a complex system setup like this can definitely leave you needing a strong drink like
Bacardi by the end of the day.
