11. APPENDIX  
11.1 QSD371614 4CH DVR series - compatible USB Flash Drives.  
In case noise occurs on USB line due to a variety of reasons such as power noise, it might  
cause an error during the data transferring process. In this case, it requires re-transferring  
the date to the flash drive. If the device can process things normally in these exceptional  
cases, things are okay. However, in some cases, it doesn’t operate normally.  
For example, in case of a PC, it might not cause any problem under this kind of situation  
because it is immune to these types of problems. However, in case of our products, they  
often work better with some drives compared to others. These are the flash drives we  
recommend based on our testing.
