Double the bays, double the memory and 50 4K cameras, on the same processor and the same ports as the G2. The $300 buys capacity, not speed. Camera counts past the G2 ceiling, or sites that want the drive headroom for long retention on 4K.

Verdict
Double the bays, double the memory and 50 4K cameras, on the same processor and the same ports as the G2. The $300 buys capacity, not speed.
Pros
- Eight bays and a 155 W drive budget — twice the G2 on both counts
- 16 GB of memory and a rating for 50 4K cameras
- Same 10G SFP+ uplink, Protect/Access/Connect support and RPS input as the G2
Cons
- Identical processor and identical networking to the G2 — the upgrade is capacity only
- 2U, so it costs twice the rack space
- $999 before drives, and eight bays is a large disk bill
