The only thing that really skeeved me out in this video, was the casual stacking of the drives containing the precious data, multiple-high, on a cart that was then moved to the kitchen set. One accidental bump or stumble into the cart could have sent most of them tumbling to the floor. Hanging onto the bulk hard-drive shipping boxes, to use for temporary holding in situations like this, would be a much safer idea. Obviously we'd hope that the foam in them is either pink (static dissipative) or black conductive (ESD protective), so the drives wouldn't be at higher risk of ESD from simply inserting and removing, without needing to ESD bag each drive temporarily. Maybe @seagate_surfer would be able to hook you guys up with some empty shipping boxes, for occasions like this. Then again, how often do you need to temporarily empty a SAN server?

I could swear I've seen this exact comment on other threads... A <5 second plug == shilling the F out?? Yeah, sorry, calm down. #ContinueTheMerchShilling Keep it up, guys! "as good as you say"...it's branded items. They're not gold plated TOSLINK cables...what are you expecting? People buy their stuff, use it in pubic. LTT gets brand exposure, the buyer supports the channel. They're described with puffery and hyperbole, because of course they are. Do you expect them to say, "We WANT you to buy our water bottle, because it says LinusTechTips on it, and we make money. We DON'T suggest you use it though, because it rusts in open air, will spill your beverage down your shirt, and it's insulated with asbestos...so good luck with the cancer. Buy our hoodie, because it says LTT. But god forbid you want to wear it, it'll give you hives like you don't believe, is extremely flammable, and will dissolve the first time you wash it (or go out in the rain)." Yeah...no, they're not going to say that, because those aren't the facts. It's branded merch. It supports the channel. As PewDiePie has admitted, merch brings in more money than adsense does, and his videos get tons of views too. #LongLiveTheMerch
