The Eufy HomeBase 3 (S380) is a powerful central hub for your home security system, but its 16GB of built-in storage can fill up quickly with continuous surveillance footage. Fortunately, you can expand storage up to 16TB with a compatible hard drive, ensuring you never miss critical security moments due to storage limitations.<\/p>\n

Understanding HomeBase 3 Storage Requirements<\/h2>\n

Before diving into specific recommendations, it’s essential to understand the technical requirements. The Eufy HomeBase 3 supports 2.5-inch storage drives (HDD or SSD) with a SATA interface. More specifically, any 5V 2.5″ storage drive with a SATA interface is compatible, though 12V storage drives are not supported.<\/p>\n

The power consumption is another crucial factor to consider. The system recommends using a hard disk with maximum power consumption of no more than 6W (5V\/1.2A), as 2.5-inch hard disks typically have a startup current of no more than 1.2A with peak power around 6W and normal read\/write power around 2W.<\/p>\n
