Linus tech tips coverage of Pax 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital Intel and SteelSeries guys over the last little while we have had a metric butt ton of WD stuff to give away we gave away a bunch of drives down at PAX we had people telling us about their storage configurations and doing embarrassing stuff and getting external drives and internal drives for their trouble but now we're following it up with the big giveaway we have eight four terabyte WD red drives to give away on the Linus tech tips forum all you've got to do is post in the thread and we'll be linking it in an annotation somewhere linking it in the video description and tell us about your storage configuration with particular emphasis on why you're using the components you're using so a great example would be you know I use a bhoot SSD because I wanted the speed but I have a hard drive because I needed extra storage for my games because I have a big massive collection on Steam and you know I would have an external drive but you know I can't afford one right now or so that would be a great example of like why you're using all the components you're using so why would you want WD red drives well the answer is because they're optimized for nests so Nazz is great because it allows you to centralize your storage in one place it allows you your storage to be safer because even in the event of a physical failure raid will often protect your data and because you know they're rated for 24/7 operation they have 24/7 tech support they've got their nas where firmware which means that they are not gonna you know fall out of a raid they're validated with all the different rating closures and all that good stuff they're less susceptible to interference from vibrations from surrounding drives and all those good things LED Reds will definitely be a good part of whatever storage configuration you happen to tell us about so guys check out the link in the forum for the full rules and regulations and if you're not done watching this video go ahead and check out this entertaining montage all right so we have challenged this we have we have challenged this contestant here who unfortunately had the misfortune of recognizing us here in the crowd to gather at least half a dozen people to stand and listen to him talk about how awesome WD is for but--and you had a single you had a one terabyte drive for storage so we'd like to double your storage today so that's a 2 terabyte drive for storage so thank you very much for participating thank you all right and then for the other guys here I'm
