RE: What's everyone up to right now?

Locating an 8 TB hard drive that I thought I had lost. I spent the last hour looking high and low for it. It was hiding under some papers that I had judged weren't covering up a hard disk. It turns out they were. I had an epiphany earlier about how to configure my computer storage. I'll need at least one more 8 TB disk, or I can cannibalize one of the 8 TB externals that I have. I'm strapped for cash right now, but I'll start scouring ebay for a deal.

Installing the new SSDs into the gaming PC. I'm waiting on a system drive that is expected to arrive Monday, but I got the other two SSDs installed. I'm glad that I learned how to use DISKPART recently. Without it, I'm not sure how one cleans or reinitializes a disk that's previously been used as a Windows system drive. I had a momentary setback when the games on the 4 TB SSD weren't showing up in Steam. Strangely, the root folder name on the new system was different than the name I was copying things from. A quick rename and things were right as rain.
