NVR Issue? Or Disk maybe?

Hi all, maybe some insight here. I have 2 x RLN-36 NVRs.

Both on the same network, cameras are not powered via the NVR it's just all on the same network.

Each NVR has about 12 cameras on it.

Problem I'm having. 4 cameras on NVR 2 are losing packets. IE: Playback has many chunks missing instead of 30min / 1 hour chunks.

If I watch the cameras live from the NVR via the app on my phone, I see the image go garbled every 30s to a minute or so depending seems random.

I've rebooted the box, I've rebooted the cameras. If I ping either there are no packets lost.

If I watch the camera feed directly it's flawless. So I think this eliminates a camera issue. It seems to be an NVR issue from my debugging.

Could this be a bad hard drive? It's funny that it always follows the same 4 cameras, the other 8 cameras record without issue.

I haven't tried moving the cameras to a different channel yet

Thoughts? Anyone see this before?
