Quite a few people do this kind of setup actually. It's a great way to offload your storage space and stops you from needing to download a game on multiple devices as you can map the drive to as many pc's as you want! The price for what you get is a little on the steep side though, but if you're not a DIY'er/tinkerer/techie it can be quite tricky to build one, so this makes it nice and simple! I always recommend DIY as there's youtube channels out there (like our fellow Canadian Hardware Haven) who have great tutorials.

Yeah DIY could be cool, this is my first experience with a NAS, so it's interesting jumping into it. I may try that in the future.

Congrats on receiving on of these for your channel! This is a great video! The interface did remind me of what is used with the Synology NAS.

Thanks, yes the software looks very similar from what I’ve seen.

nice video, thanks! @11:20 do you know if it's possible/how to install steam directly on the NAS? I'm wondering how you got the files onto the NAS. I am hoping I can just install steam/login there and have it download my library/stay updated, this way I can download/update my main PC when I need to, but I can't seem to find how to install steam on the NAS.

So I didn’t install steam onto the nas, but instead added it as a library destination (you can add multiple) so it was pretty seemless

Time to install emudeck on it!

Honestly, I should try it lol

Just remember for BTFRS you should have at least 1GB of ram per 1TB of storage.
