Adding disk space, rpi

What’s the proper way to add a hard drive to a raspberry pi running Channels from a usb disk?

Add a second USB hard drive. Then add the original storage path as an additional path, and change the primary storage location to your new drive; that way all of your old recordings will still be accessible, but your new empty storage will be used for new recordings.

Which USB port on the Raspberry Pi 4 ? 3.0 ? (blue)

If you care about speed and reliability, then yes, the 3.0 ports.

I care about it working. When I tried to plug in an empty thumb drive into the 3.0 port with the boot drive in the other one, It would not boot. I plugged the same drive into the 2.0 port and it booted up and recoginzed the drive. This was an old thread, but I only noticed that after i posted my question. Thanks for answering and sorry for posting to an old thread, I am usually more observant but it was the only post I found discussing this. I guess I will just do my own testing on this.
