Can Tablo Dual revert to recording on internal storage

Tablo has a paired database - one that lives on the Tablo and one that lives on the drive. If they don’t match up, a host of bad things can happen as drives are not meant to be swapped in and out. That being said, @TabloSupport has clarified to me that the recordings on the external drive will still be accessible as long as the database on the Tablo itself is not corrupted or deleted.
