    I just ordered an external hard drive yesterday sense my computer's hard drive is just a 1tb and I have almost went through all of the space in it. I can't wait to get it so I can transfer most of my games that I have on my pc to my external hard drive. That will clear up space that I will need for other things. I am so excited for this and thank you for the video. You earned a subscriber.

    Dear, Simon i am writing this today to thank you very much because you have helped my friend and i play steam games once again its been very long since we have played a steam game and i am just thanking you and I'm sure plenty of others found this very helpful but just don't have the time to sit here and type all this out at this point i really don't have much to say so I'm probably just going to continue to rant on how helpful this video is I would ask my friend to play a steam game a he would tell me he cant because he doesn't have enough storage on his computer and you my friend have fixed that issue forever now we are smart young men who know how to transfer files onto a external hard drive once again Thank You so very much!
