WEBVTT 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:07.040 Linus Tech tips coverage of PS 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital Intel 00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:10.880 and steel series guys over the last little while we have had a metric butt 00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:14.799 ton of WD stuff to give away we gave away a bunch of drives down at PS we had 00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:18.920 people telling us about their storage configurations and doing embarrassing 00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:23.119 stuff and getting external drives and internal drives for their trouble but 00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:28.960 now we're following it up with the big giveaway we have eight 4 tbte WD red 00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:33.160 drives to give away on the Linus Tech tips forum all you've got to do is post 00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:37.399 in the thread and we'll be linking it in an annotation somewhere linking it in 00:00:34.879 --> 00:00:42.879 the video description and tell us about your storage configuration with 00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:44.840 particular emphasis on why you're using 00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:49.199 the components you're using so a great example would be you know I use a boot 00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:53.160 SSD because I wanted the speed but I have a hard drive because I needed extra 00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:57.760 storage for my game because I have a big massive collection on Steam and uh you 00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:02.160 know I would have an external drive but you know I can't afford one right now or 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:06.159 so would be a great example of like why you're using all the components you're 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:09.600 using so why would you want WD red drives well the answer is because 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:13.080 they're optimized for Nas so Nas is great because it allows you to 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:16.759 centralize your storage in one place it allows you your storage to be safer 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:20.880 because even in the event of a physical failure raid will often protect your 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:25.040 data and because you know they're rated for 24/7 operation they have 247 tech 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:28.320 support they've got their nasware firmware which means that they are not 00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:31.680 going to you know fall of a raid they're validated with all the different ratings 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:35.399 enclosures and all that good stuff they're less susceptible to interference 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:40.520 from vibrations from surrounding drives and all those good things WD Reds will 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:45.280 definitely be a good part of whatever storage configuration you happen to tell 00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:49.320 us about so guys check out the link in the forum for the full rules and 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:54.200
