francrouge Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hi all, Just a quick question. I'm running out of space on my gaming rig. And I got a lot of storage left in my unraid server. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to make a share and map it to my gaming rig and transfert all the games on it. Would it be a good solution (would it be fast enough got a 1gbit connection between them) thx Quote Link to comment
tjb_altf4 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I created a second directory for steam which is symlinked back to an unraid share. Steam allows you to move installs via GUI, but 90% of my library lives on my server, only games that benefit for local storage or that are limited by DRM or block level access requirements etc (pubg, starcraft etc) live on my game PC. I also move games to the server when I'm not actively playing them anymore. Quote Link to comment
