Matthew Goode behind the scenes being looked after by the wonderful Hair and Make Up Department.
Thank you for doing such a great job 👏 and yes, I am a tad jealous.
I love how chatty Matthew is and also so gentleman like lowering himself from his towering 6ft2 so that the hair artist can reach more easily.

Hey, guys! Sorry for keeping this waited from past weeks that I’m trying to write I got. Nevertheless, it’s time for the second half part of my portable drive topic review without leaving behind. Last time where I’d covered the unboxing portion during the first half, I’m now moving onto to install with my gaming system which I’d did awhile back. Before I can show you around, there’s something I wanted to bring I’d kept secret from past years. I should’ve brought it sooner if I had such time left til now. Nevertheless, it’s for my gaming console itself as a previous upgrade that my family give me.
(From January. 6th; 2:29 to 2:30 P.M.)
This here’s my actual Xbox One S console (not the Xbox Series S/X, though). It happened back in December. 16th, 2019 that my family give me as a late Christmas gift by surprise. Well, a surprise for me back then from before. There’s also a second gift that would be save for another time. Anyways, It’s been past 6 years later after decided to move on with my Xbox One S system. Its longevity usage runs well of playing games I have; which I’ll get to that for my final part soon. As for what happened to my original Xbox One, the one I got from April 2015; is thankfully kept into my closest that doesn’t have scratches. Don’t worry, I still got everything for my Xbox One S system with its data that was originally carried from my original gaming console.
(From 2:32 to 2:56 P.M.)
So anyways as I continue on, we’re bringing you this step where I installed with my portable drive and its USB cable. Took about few seconds to connect with both items together, but finally got it of what’s on screen display right after turning my gaming console. As you can see, there’s a front USB slot down left corner below where I’d placed there. It was my second attempt when my gaming console recognize not too long ago. Of course there’s some USB slots on the backside I’d tried to get around minutes before that. I don’t know why or if I would’ve paid attention closely, but the front USB slot is one way to go. Now, I went to options setting to manage storage devices; where you can see I could select on either media and for games with my portable drive. Obviously, I’m here to formatted any games I got. As of now though, it read about 1.8TB instead of 2TB from what the box advertised. It does happens for other hard drives, so that’s alright.
(From 2:58 to 3:01 P.M.)
Just holding on til I'd promised I can finished off for the final part soon. In the meantime, I've given to formatted my portable drive that didn't take long to complete. I'd given its name of "My Games" first during this recording. Looks good so far as I'm moving to store with one of my games I got. That said, that's gonna be it for this second half part of my portable drive review. I’m sorry that things weren’t according as planned I’d would’ve do more for this month. I’m just having some trouble scheduling while I’m stuck doing at the program for weekday mornings. Even though I would be doing during the weekends by any point, I’d tried my best to write some stuff. Nevertheless, at least I’d gotten with this second half covered; especially finally showing my previous gaming console after years later.
My Overall Thoughts (so far):
As of now, It’s nice to installed with my portable drive and its 3.0 cable to my gaming console in respond. So far, I’d went through formatted with my device before I can move on with my other games to store later. And I just had one game that deserved to start up for my final part soon. Hope you’ll be ready for this. 👍
Radio Dead Air Tech Q&A coming up at 9pm ET tonight!
Huawei was sanctioned by the US government, but Seagate apparently didn't get the memo and was hit with a massive $300 million fine for continuing to sell hard drives to them. We'll talk about it!

My NVMe Needs - Part 5: Timing comparison - HDD vs SSD NVMe M.2 Drive [Apr 25th, 2023]
Hello, April! Here's Part 5 of my of “My NVMe Needs“ (this time, without my paper dolls 😅). 😊
And in this part, I have another video to show ya. This is a timing comparison between my old physical drive (the Seagate Barracuda 7200 - 400GB) & my current used NVMe M.2 PCIE SSD (the Samsung 970 EVO Plus - 1TB). 🖥️⌚ Man, that latter was pretty mouthful, don't you think? 👅
Nonetheless, if you haven't seen my two previous post(s) & other ones (that we're related), then I'll provide some links down below. ↓
• Part 1: Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SSD (1TB) Review [Apr 7th, 2023]
• Part 2: Thermalright M.2 2280 Pro Review [Apr 11th, 2023]
*• Part 3: Installation and trial & error [Recorded on Apr 21st, 2023] (published: Apr 22nd, 2023)*
*• Part 4: Another Trial & Error [Apr 21st, 2023] (published: Apr 22nd, 2023*
So, without further ado, let’s get started:
My Recorded & Edited Video (using Filmora 9): (pls watch) ↑ 🎦✏️🖥️
• Okay, let's make my summary quick because I don't need to explain everything. Before installing my newly fast solid drive & a heat sink, I decided to record the physical hard drive, ranging from noisy clicking sounds to the timing of powering up & after hibernating the PC (for several hours while I'm sleeping). It takes some time while dealing with background noises from neighbors' dogs barking or a chicken/rooster doing the morning cock-a-doodle before I editing a video, along with my recordings of using the NVMe M.2 drive, days later.
• Now, I don't want a do file transfer test back 'n forth because we've already seen it in my previous part (alternatively, am I add), as well as a bunch of tests that might affect my procrastination (well, not really) because we all know, that quick pace NVMe M.2 drives are beat out the old-style bulky hard drives for read & write rate speeds. It's already well documented by countless YouTube videos from Youtubers. (So, go educate yourself if you so desire) Nonetheless, all I want it to see is to do a comparison between two of my memory devices, and what you see is what you watch, right now.
BTW: Remember, what I said that there's no counterfeit for Samsung's legitimate NVMe M.2 drives? Well, I was wrong, and it turns out that the PC website, "Tom's HARDWARE" had already reported & encountered a counterfeit Samsung 980 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 drive. It may look like a real deal but looks can be deceiving. So, I suggest that you should check it out → [CLICK ME!]. It was already published, a month ago.
• Also, some brands are now expand to 8TBs capacity size (or much MUCH higher size) for the SSD NVMe sticks! DAMN! 😲 And if you want proof? Then → [CLICK ME!].
Overall:
• Like I said, switching between the physical slow hard drive to the quick pace solid state drive NVMe M.2 was a night & day! And so far, I'm really enjoying it after 4 days of usage. Here's hoping, my NVMe drive won't fail or damage after significate hours of play & work. But hey, not to worry, I could always hibernate or shut down my PC to prevent endurance heat. Man, if only I have more spare funds to replace my PC desktop case with a modern look & armed with 6 or 8 PC cooling fans. That's my next target, you know.
Anyways, I have another post, right here! And this is my last part. I promise → [CLICK ME!].

You guys are in for a treat after waiting this package to arrived. I’m pretty sure where I’d installed this to my gaming console from yesterday after did the unboxing. I just can’t resist if I waiting a bit before doing so, but doesn’t matter. At least I gotten everything I’d needed to make spaces I’ll store any games I have. I’m very happy after my mom helped me order from Amazon.com last year. It’s supposed to be as my Christmas gift suggestion until today. I also have another one I’ll be looking forward to, but have to wait for another month or two. In the meantime, hope I’ll taking care of this external hard drive of mine. Welcome aboard, Seagate 2TB Portable Drive. 😁👍
Note: I’ll get to my overall thoughts of my external hard drive for another time; as soon as I can get into my G-Pal’s art trade request to go through.
