Video Description

Thanks to Anker for sponsoring today's video. Check out the Anker Nano Pro here: https://ankerfast.club/3zLMIw3 Game installs aren't getting any smaller. And while SSD prices continue to fall, if a game requires 250GB to install, a 500GB drive will only get you so far. What if you could use the extra storage space on your home server to install your game library? But first... What am I drinking??? An abomination to God and all he created. *Links to items below may be affiliate links for which I may be compensated* Check out some of the parts from my storage servers: 8TB HGST He8 Helium SAS: https://amzn.to/2X7Xb7C HGST 7K4000 4TB SAS Drives: https://amzn.to/3g6MysB HP Gen8 - Gen10 3.5" Drive Trays: https://amzn.to/3egChsf Xeon E5-2660v3 - https://ebay.to/3i8JmMG Xeon E5-2678v3 - https://ebay.to/3eh1yTb I no longer recommend the Seagate ES.2 3TB, but I have them on hand, so I might as well test with them.
