another DVR of same model. Should it be formatted prior use?
It is possible to migrate an HDD from one DVR to another provided that the DVRs are of the
same model and that the HDD being migrated would be used as the sole disk in the new DVR.
However in cases where the new DVR already contains a HDD, the migrated disk being
installed would have to be formatted. In general migrating disks from one DVR to another is
not recommended.
