I got an iMovr Freedom base with a butchers block.

Weighs probably 100lbs, costs around 700-800, and as solid as can be.

USB inherently has latency issues and protocol overhead. Seems like you're restricted to hardware unfortunately.

I second this app. Use it all the time for birds I don't recognize

What software are you using

I have a hot storage NAS that backups to a warm storage NAS.

I backup every week and scrub every month.

I have 2 x ZFS1 pools that contains 3 x 20TB disks each.

With ECC ram, scrubbing, and independent pools, it'll take a house fire to kill my local storage.

I also have a constant backing to Backblaze and yearly encrypted backup that I ship to a friend across the world.
