    Now you can store all of those games
    If u want to get into gaming, yeah I guess.

    I’d probably take them out of the packaging before building a PC around them.

    Ehh storage is cheap and small nowadays. I dont think it would be worth building a dedicated PC just to have a GPU sized ssd unless its for a home server or something.

    Create a backup storage
    Don’t need dedicated PC n all

    If possible, you can get them drives run in RAID 0 for better speed. Anyways, if you got ’em and have no intentions of building a PC, you should just sell ’em.

  6. Put it in an external PCIe box and use it like an external drive if your PC has a TB port. 

  7. If you have additional PCIx8 slots thats great stuff, these cards are fast and reliable. Why do you get those for free?

    just sell it away they’re like $70 maybe

    go for it, would be cool to build a rig with some character, something a lil different than all these samey pc’s that everyone post everyday.

    be sure your motherboard supports PCIe bifurcation. if it doesn’t it will only “see” one drive

    7.6 Terabytes for free!? hell yeah use them as game drives, buy a 2 TB WD SN850X as a boot drive.
