Xbox Series X Storage - SeaGate 8tb Game Hub
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ต.ค. 2024
- This video is a reupload from February this year where I made my choice as far as what I think is the best and most functional storage option for the Xbox Series X, I would much rather have 8tb of storage that I can hold games on, than have 1tb of super-fast storage to play games off of. Especially considering my relatively slow internet connection, it can take hours to download a huge game, so being able to keep all my games installed and just transfer them between the two storage options makes much more sense to me, than randomly waking up some day and thinking I would like to play any given game and realizing I don't have it installed, and then losing interest in being able to play it. The 8tb Game Hub does not play Xbox Series X/S games but I believe especially with a slower internet connection that it is a valid choice for the Xbox Series X as would be pretty much any large capacity drive in this use case. With all that said I hope you enjoyed it, and as always thanks for watching, more videos coming soon. Remember to be safe and be good. -Valhallas Demise

I have added 3 links to the description of this video (not affiliated) to 3 different drives for the Xbox, the two 8tb external drives should both work on PC as an external drive as well as both drives should work for the Xbox as an external storage drive, note, they will not allow Series X/S games to be played off the drives. They are for mass storage not Xbox Series X/S gameplay, they will allow Xbox One, 360, and original Xbox games to be played off the external drive. The SSD will allow Xbox Series X/S games to be played off the drive but is around the same price range as the other drives and only has 1tb of storage.
Thank you so much
Yeah this is not compatible with series x. Can't play games off it. Only xb1 games.
Saying that it is not compatible with the Series X sounds like you're saying it won't work at all, and that is not the case. I also have stated in the video, the description, and the pinned comment that it will not play Xbox Series X/S games. In some rare cases games that have the X/S badge can be played off the drive as they do not require the internal storage speeds of the X/S console as you can see in my follow up video.
@@TECHNOBABBLE. yeah it works in the sense a thumbprint would. U can store shit on it. And play old games off it. That is the sum of it. Not saying you didn't. YOUR TITLE IS MISLEADING. THAT IS THE ISSUE. PEOPLE CANNOT PLAY SERIES X GAMES WITH THAT DRIVE.
I don't feel that the title is misleading, it is the storage that I use on the Xbox Series X. It does not say, nor do I say in the video that the storage is for Xbox Series X/S gameplay, so if people would actually be willing to watch a video, they click on instead of heading to the comments to start fights, they may understand how and why I use this storage on the Xbox Series X.
I miss the good Ole days when u just popped a game in and just played smfh
Certainly was a lot simpler, not relying on day one patches with huge downloads or waiting weeks, months or even years for devs to make games fully playable. Anyway, thanks for watching and for commenting.
This is perfect for me 8 terabytes for the same price as a two terabyte worth it because you know what I don't mind having to move my games and sit and wait for like 15-20 minutes shit I'll watch a video within that time and Bam the game is moved over I got no worries thank you Technobabble I would have never found this without you
No problem, I try my best to be helpful. Thank you for watching and for commenting and if you have any questions just let me know.
I was going to get this but since I work 65 hrs a week normally I wont have the time to transfer a game when I want to play but 8TB for that price is a great value. Will be going with the 2Tb expansion card both are good storages!
I certainly understand how time constraints can, well, suck. It would be nice if Xbox had gone the Sony route and allowed an M.2 to be installed in the console. I tend to lean more into budget options, and landed on the SeaGate. It's especially nice (in my opinion) for people with slower internet speeds. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
I have a 1 tb card in my xsx it's great working up to the 2 tb. One is Def enough unless you have like cod or destiny
Great review! 💯🔥
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
With all the backwards compatible games clogging up my library, honestly I'll always need a high capacity option, and that simply doesn't exist for SSDs unless you wanna drop roughly a grand, I'd rather put that kinda cash into games or a new TV. Might look into this
I definitely didn't word this video the best I could have, or do well at explaining all the ways that a drive like the SeaGate are useful. Backwards compatibility is a great use, and so is storing current gen games if you have slower internet. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting.
@@TECHNOBABBLE. It's just for storage, hell for running them I already have the console and the 1TB card, and if the games are small enough, they can be transferred fast without an SSD so I can just move them to the SSDs when I'm getting ready to play them.
wtf was that internet speed. Hope u got things sorted and are now having better internet connection 👍
I moved all the normal games to the game drive so I can have space for the X/S games
Best drive to get would be a 4tb seagate or Maxtor as these do not need power and will run from the 5Watts given from the X/S
We actually use a SeaGate external drive, the red Gears of War 4 one on my wife's Xbox One, I think it's 2tb? I also use an incredibly similar external drive on the PS4, which might end up transferred to the PS5. They are definitely good drives for the price, however when I made this upgrade, it was to just find the absolute largest drive I could find for around the price of the SeaGate X/S Expansion Card. Previously on my Xbox One, I used a Nyko hard drive enclosure which also powered from the wall, but it allowed me to choose any 3.5" drive to put in it, so I had a 4tb, which has since been put into my desktop. Anyway, point being, there aren't necessarily any "useless" options for storage, just depends on what you're looking to get out of it. Maybe someday I can get all the types of storage together and do a better job of explaining all the potential pros and cons. Thanks for watching and for commenting, also apologize if this ran on a little too long.
Yes, if you want to store terabytes worth of old-school games remember USB hard drives do not support series X games to be installed on so I am it’s not worth it if I got a plug a USB into it and not the little special slot that’s made specifically for the high-speed SSD drives I don’t want it I’m not downgrading my series X to only support games from last generation
Thanks for watching and for commenting. The 8tb drive does allow Xbox Series X/S games to be stored on it. Even some exceptions to the rule of playability, I recommend my follow up video th-cam.com/video/BerzPeeh80M/w-d-xo.html
Where I hopefully explain it a bit better.
👍👍 As you'll see on the comment of your follow up vid I received mine and it's excellent so far. I purchased a small surge protector that is dedicated to this unit only. It has an on off switch on it. Wondering if it would cause any issues if I switched it off while not in use ? The ambient green light doesn't bother me but keeping power going to it 24/7 or when not in use I'm not sure of. Does it need power at all times for some reason ? I wouldn't think so but I'm unsure. Any advice appreciated. Thanks again for your helpful content 👍👍.
Thank you for your supportive comments. I don't know any reason you wouldn't be able to unplug the drive when you don't want or need to have it on. It's a hard drive so it doesn't require constant power, usually things that require power to hold onto data, have some form of battery that keeps a cache powered. Like, N64 memory cards or certain old Game Boy games. So, it should be fine to unplug it, however, I would make sure to fully power down the Xbox or other consoles, etc. before unplugging the drive. To ensure the drive isn't being accessed, as that could result in data corruption. Hopefully this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@TECHNOBABBLE. Thank you
The 1tb seagate works for me on series S, don't complain about storage at all🌹, what's next PS5 for me‼️😁
All the illiterate people that ordered these leave bad reviews on sites and show everyone how they can’t read 😂😅
They always cry about how you can’t put the newer games on there when it clearly tells you that in the description of the item ☠️
you definitely can install new games on there. you just cant play them from there and they must get transferred to the internal drive to play
Hey you got something, keep going
Thank you, thanks for watching and commenting, also new video scheduled for Tuesday, November the 8th
Do you just download games in the game drive then you can play the games that's downloaded i just wanted to understand how it works before I buy it
You can install and store any generation of Xbox games on the 8tb SeaGate. You can play any generation of backwards compatible game on a Series Console with this drive, except for X/S upgraded or exclusive games they can be installed on the drive but not played. I have a follow-up video here where I hopefully explain it a bit better. th-cam.com/video/BerzPeeh80M/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching and for commenting.
@@TECHNOBABBLE. thanks that helped a lot it's a sham it doesn't work with Xbox series X game's but transfering them over is the next best thing for me and I can only get the 4tb drive and keep up the good work I'll definitely subscribe
Thank you, glad I could help
I bought one and it was working well. Downloading my games I have the Xbox one before the x/s it was working well meaning it downloaded the games and stored the games for me so that my system can have more memory. I've had it for 2 years now. It would turn off and turn on on its own when I am not using the Xbox. I had no problem with it until now because it burnt out like it won't even turn on anymore. It was making some kind of ticking sound like internally and the light started flashing and now it's not working 😢.
So I recently upgraded from my xbox 1X to the series X.. With my 1X I have a 2tb and 4tb external hard drives.
I kind of wanna get this 8TB so I can store the games on it that I can't put on my internal because I would like to buy the 2TB Seagate which costs $400
The 8tb will certainly store a whole lotta games
why do you want to power your drive from the wall ?, we all hate wires every where, you have 3 usb ports 4+4+4 = 12 TB thats about 10 TB after format you can even remove the drive at the cable end leaving the cable in the S/X and have no risk hurting your port to place the same make drive for even more TB, I have bought many Power from wall USB drives and they all fail, Not the drive but the power brick that powers the drive up .. this for me is a very bad way to add a HD plus you need to plug it in Messy! there cheap for a reason..
@Yorkshire Pud I also replied to your standalone comment. I have used two variations of wall powered drives; I talk about that in my other reply. Anyway, I have never had any issues with the drives power bricks failing, and I find them to be a reliable solution. So, I just gotta say, I'm confused by your choice of other complaint? I don't disagree to the wires everywhere issue, my personal "media center" is an absolute travesty of spider webbed cable mismanagement. Wouldn't four 4tb external drives dangling from the Xbox be a more cluttered mess than one extra cable to the wall? Not least that it would cost over $400 to buy four 4tb external drives new. I mean it's all about choice and what you would prefer just confused. Thanks again for the comments and apologies if I've run on too long, I just kinda enjoy the discussions.
@@TECHNOBABBLE. Thank you for reply Tech let's say you plug a 4tb drive into the X/S then format for games, using the same lead (As both drives you bought are the same 4tb USB) format that second one you could remove and replace without taking the lead from the console, you could put the drive away if space is short, I still have to say that in my 60s now and having a PC since well PC were made a 386sx lol I have had trouble with using a USB with power ext brick to the unit with data lose and errors due to the power input and over time poor connection (Do you really want a power surge going straight to the HD ?), for me the plug in 4tb works best, now not taking a single step back, I do hope you have many years happy use from your unit my friend..
@Yorkshire Pud That would make much more sense lol. Phrasing matters. But yeah, I could only visually imagine like 4 hard drives hanging off the Xbox which seems hilarious lol. Anyway, just another note, I keep all of my electronics, TV, the hard drive enclosure, etc. all of it is plugged into the wall with a GFCI or ground fault circuit interrupter. Which if working effectively is meant to trip and block any power surges from getting to anything on the other side. Thanks again for the comments and discussion.
I was going to get this game drive but how does it actually work can you play games through this or what does it actually do
I was gonna say that your Wi-Fi can’t be bad but until I saw your test where it started on 40mbps and literally went down I saw what you meant lol my previous Wi-Fi averaged 40 and pretty much never went down but got an upgrade recently so it’d be double
Yeah, the area I'm in literally has two options, either from the local phone company, or satellite, and the best both offered was 25mbps. So, my internet would average 25mbps not stay at 25mbps. Which they have recently upgraded the lines or something, and are currently working on it for others in my area. But sometimes, "high speed" isn't what people expect. Not everyone has access to gigabit or even 100mbps. Anyway, enough rambling, thanks for watching and for commenting
@@TECHNOBABBLE. don’t worry good thing you have the 8TBs now lol
Lol, that was the idea after all. Store and keep all my games updated. Transfer when needed.
@@TECHNOBABBLE. yup
Why is mine grinding and clicking? But it runs fine
This hard drive hdd doesn’t do Xbox series x
I use a 2Tb ssd from Samsung t7
Compact and fast
Wish it was affordable I got a 1TB Seagate Firecuda
My internet gets about 15mbps to 60mbps
Thanks for watching and for commenting. I think on a price to storage ratio the 8tb drive is a better option for the money than the NVME "memory cards" Seagate makes to expand the internal storage. I looked up the 1tb Firecuda, the external drive seems very affordable and for 1tb is a good price. So, I appreciate your comment as it could help others on a tight budget. I'll link to the 1tb firecuda here (not affiliated) - www.amazon.com/Seagate-FireCuda-Gaming-External-Drive/dp/B08Y1T2GK7/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=887VAAEFBUD&keywords=firecuda%2Bexternal&qid=1667687383&sprefix=firecuda%2Bexternal%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1
@@TECHNOBABBLE. not sure why Microsoft went that route with SSD on next-generation games that way I don't have spend $200 on a Memory Card
Faster load times, bigger games, NVME has been a standard in PCs for years now. The "memory card" was a bad call, and only sucks more because SeaGate is the only company making them. I'm fairly sure, but not 100%, that SeaGate has to pay Microsoft for the branding? If not I'm sure there's some kinda deal where Microsoft makes money off the expansion cards. Sony did it better on the PlayStation 5 having an M.2 slot under the shell and just posting specification guidelines for what kinda M.2 NVME drive to get. At least you can shop around and pick different manufacturers.
I wonder if Sony was like you bastards when xbox choose to go with a option they used way back in the og ps days. Brings back memories....
Brings back, memory... cards.. lol
I wonder what pricing was originally like on Playstation memory cards? Was it half the price of the console? I legitimately cannot remember what a GameCube memory card cost, I had 4 of those things, well, still do..
@@TECHNOBABBLE. I miss dream cast cards lol sonic and og pso were cool dream cast was just underrated ND ahead of its time.
I've never had a Dreamcast, growing up I really didn't have that many consoles. I had an N64 and a PlayStation One (with very few games) while everyone else was playing on Xbox lol. I got an Xbox 360 in 2010 so, I was always kinda behind as far as what generation I was playing, the Series X was the first console I actually bought brand new.
@@TECHNOBABBLE. my memories of og xbox went like this worked great till fable than it red ringed me so I bought a ps 2 lol.
That had to suck. I also never had an original Xbox either. I've considered picking one up recently just because I love games from that era specifically GameCube for me, but 3rd party games are also quite expensive on GameCube and trying to build that collection back (sold them, long story) I just wonder if it wouldn't currently be easier and cheaper on the Xbox. I got the PS2 I worked on from a buddy of mine as a gift around 4 years ago, just finally got around to playing on it earlier this year. Anyway... lol nostalgia
That is the same hub assembly that they used on the Xbox one X and last generation
P1
We're all gonna need at least 2tb to play the next GTA
Probably not that much, but it'll definitely fill up most of the internal storage on the series X
I have the 4tb. The green light always stays on regardless of the power setting. Just got the HDD yesterday..is that normal for the green light to never turn off? Lol
Honestly I have it sitting on the side of the series X in an entertainment center behind a door lol, so I've never really paid that much attention to the LED. I think it turns off when you do a full shutdown of the console, but if you have it in power-savings mode or allow downloads while in "rest" mode then the Xbox will always need access to the drive.
So can you store series games on it? And when you decide you want to play the game you have to move it back to the console? Just confirming
Yes, I have the 8tb SeaGate set as my installation drive through the Xbox's settings. So, if I go to download an X/S series game it will pop up a notification saying, "This game cannot be played off this storage it will need to be transferred to be played" (paraphrased but close enough). It then gives you the option to "Install anyway", then at your leisure you can transfer games to and from the drive. Hope this is helpful, thanks for watching and commenting.
@@TECHNOBABBLE. thank you for responding pretty quickly. As much as the expansion is, I totally have no problem waiting a couple of minutes moving my games here and there. Thanks again
No problem at all, I'm here to try and help. Thanks again for watching and for commenting
What’s better this or the backup plus hub ?
I haven't used the backup plus hub, but from what I can find on it, the specs seem really similar. According to different online sources the Xbox branded one (black with green LED) might have slightly faster read write speeds, but only marginally. So whichever you feel fits your budget better? Or whichever one you like more aesthetically. Hopefully this is helpful, thanks for watching and commenting.
@@TECHNOBABBLE. thanks, after looking about il either get this Xbox 8tb , or the seagate expansion desktop as I think 8tb is the biggest storage I’ve seen for Xbox , thee fps soon desktop can go up to 20tb
So instead of clowning the people that say it’s useless the maybe explain how to use it because i got mine plugged in rn and it’s not doing anything but looking pretty and i cant find it anywhere and when i plug my lil 5tb drive in it pops up and is vary easy to use but i would like a lil more space and i cant find a single vid on how to set it up and all i find are people like you that dont help the rest of us figure out how to use it smh😂
I have this. Is is not series compatible
I have replied to your secondary comment with a video link and a link to the WD_Black P10 drive, thanks again for watching and for commenting.
The black p10 is compatible
Thanks for watching and for commenting. The WD_Black P10 is an external HDD and is compatible in the same way as the SeaGate 8tb Game Hub is. It even says on the WD_Black website that the P10 is for "Play Xbox One games, store Xbox Series X/S games." I would like for you to watch my follow up video where I showcase some gameplay off the 8tb drive and try to explain things a bit better: th-cam.com/video/BerzPeeh80M/w-d-xo.html
And for anyone who would like to shop around or to read the specifications and compatibility notes on the WD_Black P10, I'll link directly to the WD_Black website right here: www.westerndigital.com/products/portable-drives/wd-black-p10-game-drive-usb-3-2-hdd#WDBA3A0050BBK-WESN
Also a note that all the SeaGate options are linked in my description and pinned comment, and none of the links are affiliated.
Its basically a hard drive i got the ssd drive that is junk
How do I turn it off? The seagate symbol light doesn't turn off
Unfortunately if you're using the drive on the Xbox I don't believe there is any way to toggle the lights.
I just want to know can you record longer gameplay with this thing
Yeah, it has to be formatted as NTFS on a PC. After which according to the Xbox Support website (a quick google search got me there) you can record up to an hour of gameplay. Though, if you have a PC with ample storage I would suggest checking out a capture card. (Edit: It can't hold games and record longer videos though, I dunno why Xbox did it that way)
@@TECHNOBABBLE. ok cool thanks
Can cigarette smoke pass through when I let it stay on my desk and would it destroy it?
Possibly, although if you just dust down the drive or use some canned air (electronics duster) or one of those electric air blowers. Which I'm sure have a more technically appropriate name. Use something to clean and blow the dust out fairly regularly and it should be fine. I have a video coming soon tearing down and cleaning out a console that stayed in a smokers room for years and years and it still works fine after cleaning it out. Anyway, point being it should survive? I'd be more worried about spilling a drink on it or something with it on my desk. (Edit: also note that the usb cable is some proprietary thing with a special end on one side. And is only about 8 inches in length)
so you're worried about destroying your HDD but not your lungs? really think about that
Does anyone know if this drive is a SSHD or a HDD?
I have a link to the Amazon product listing in the video description you can read all of the manufacturer's information there. The listing says HDD. I've covered this drive in multiple videos. It's not the proprietary NVMe drive necessary for playing all Xbox Series X/S games, it is a hard drive and as such makes for good storage of all generations of games, and can play all Xbox 'Durango' and earlier games (Xbox 360 and original Xbox) Durango being the codename for the Xbox One. It can play a select number of X/S games that originially released for Xbox One and received upgrades after the series X/S consoles released. It will not launch newer X/S games or games that have released specifically for X/S. Hopefully this helps.
Can you play XSX games straight from the hard drive, like the expansion memory card
No, except for some rare exceptions that for whatever reason don't require the internal speeds, even though they have the X/S badge. You can see some gameplay off the drive in my "Useless No Useful" video.
@@TECHNOBABBLE. oh ok, so then I should just stick with the 1tb expansion memory card and my old external hard drive
Yep, as long as the series consoles have been on the market now, I don't believe we're going to see any other options for the NVME expansion drives, unfortunately. I haven't really researched it, but imagine we're stuck with the SeaGate 1 and 2tb options. Sony takes the win with the M.2 slot this generation, at least you have options. Anyway, thanks for watching and for commenting.
Bro it's common sense if the games are optimized for m. 2 ssd's how would it run on a damn hdd 😑
Not trying to sound like a dick but your run a tech channel my guy.
Tell me you haven't watched the videos, without telling me you haven't watched the videos. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
So I have 2 consoles the xbox one s and the xbox series and I want to store games from both consoles yes I know I might not play all the game on each console so is the way to go since I use both consoles at different times of course lol I’m trying to figure out to go with this 8TB looks nice please help
Yes, the 8TB drive is compatible with all generations of Xbox One and Series consoles. I transferred all my games to it from my old original Xbox One, and just plugged it into the Series X. If I remember correctly the console will ask if you want to format it to be a video storage drive, which you do not have to do. Beyond that it should work fine to use between two consoles, just keep in mind that the 8tb Game Hub does have and require its own external power source. (Edit: Also note that Xbox Series specific games cannot be played off the game hub, I prefer this drive to the similarly priced 1tb "memory card" expansion drive just due to the sheer difference in storage amounts)
One final concern may be that some games will want to automatically update to their series X/S versions once stored on that console. So those games may not work if you move the drive back to the One S.
@@TECHNOBABBLE. one more question so I can play game off from the hub and I know some games won’t work as long I can play some of them and store movies and music ?
It should work fine for that yes. Just the games that may update for Xbox Series consoles won't work on the One S. Other than that, I don't know any reason that it shouldn't work.
@@TECHNOBABBLE. may be usable limited to an ssd not so usable at 50-60mb on a 5400 rpm hard drive, and 100mb on a 7200 rpm hard drive which is hardly the spec both sony and xbox uses on current gen consoles
Can you play Series X/S Games on it?.
No, except some rare cases you can see what I mean in my other video. You can store them, but if you're looking for expanding the internal memory and only care about a drive playing X/S games I have the SeaGate expansion card linked in the description as well. If you're ok with just storing the games and transferring them between the drive and console then the 8tb hard drive is about the same price as the 1tb SSD expansion. Hope this helps, thanks for watching and for commenting.
Will this drive work with windows laptop?
You can get a slightly cheaper 8tb SeaGate drive without the Xbox branding. I'll try linking it here (not affiliated) just keep in mind that some of these larger drives do require an external power source.

Does quick resume work with it?
No
Yes, it does, quick resume is a game-based feature. Sorry though for the massive delay, it's because I thought I had replied to this previously. Or maybe I just answered someone else with the same question. (Edit: I have checked, and I did respond to @camrynsmith4689 in another comment, where I said I could record footage if needed, they never replied. So, @darrenscott6982 here's proof that the drive will indeed allow for quick resume.)

itus going to be usekess on the series as it needs to ge ssd a 5400-7200 rpm isn't going to be fast enough migh be okay on the xbox one x
It's not about playing Series X/S games off the drive; I state that in the video. It's about mass storage on a budget. Which is especially convenient if you have a slower internet connection. Saves me, in my case from having to download the games again on a 25mbps connection, it's easier and faster to transfer Series X/S games off the drive than to download them, it takes minutes instead of hours. (Edit: it plays Xbox One, 360 and original Xbox games just as well as any other external would, and the Series X/S consoles only have limited options for SSDs that can actually play series X/S games)
@@TECHNOBABBLE. it don't matter if it is mass storage it isn't usable by the series x, you will have to use it on the one x if you want the games playable not just as a dump drive I have the same drive to know what can and can't be done..
it is a pure waste of money regardless of hard drive specs
You've obviously got a chip on your shoulder and that's fine, but I can say from experience as I replied to you once already, that the drive works to play Xbox One, 360, and original Xbox games. Your concept of useless is fine, but it's also yours.
@@TECHNOBABBLE. if i had a chip on my shoulder I would of said ya full of shit I actually own one pf these drives just because it state it's compliance to be used on the series s and series x doesn't mean you should be using it on the current generation consoles it actually a con xbox puts out to actually a game it would have to be a ssd within specit is actually false advertising with claims of working on the series x when you can't play a game from the hard drive.. from a series x from last generation fine... this is xbox one x
You own one of these drives but do you own a series console? If you have some issue with the drive that's fine, but not something to argue about. I know for a fact I can play all generations of Xbox games off this drive except series X/S games that require the internal storage speeds. Yet you refuse to believe that because you read some numbers somewhere. Do you want to see a video? I can easily make a video playing games off the drive on my Xbox Series X. Beyond that I am done arguing with you.
So its useless then.
Thanks for watching and for commenting, I would suggest checking this video out before coming to the conclusion of "useless" th-cam.com/video/BerzPeeh80M/w-d-xo.html
It stores the xbox series enhanced games, they just need to be moved to the console to play them. It's not perfect but far from useless. I don't know your wifi speed but for most people it is quicker to move a game than re-download a game.
Go to offer up and look for used SSD expansion cards I got a 2TB for $180 🙏🏾💯
Not a bad solution, I would just recommend being careful. I also personally wouldn't want to buy used because the drive could have faults that you couldn't test, and it wouldn't come with a warranty. But it's all about choice, so suggestions are always welcome. Thanks for watching and for commenting.

Hmm that is a time during the video isn't it? I honestly don't remember if I show it in the video or not, or exactly where the code is now, if I can find it, I can let you know.
