20 crowns. 10 top, 10 bottom. They look pretty decent, but the permanent ones look and feel much better than these. My sister went to the same dentist in Dallas and I've seen her temps vs permanents, so it ruined it for me with my temps. Haha. He's this super well known dentist online. Has like 500k followers on IG alone.
Finally after one month looking for a TV furniture, I found something I really like. Now just need to wait end of September to receive it.
After 2 years, I was finally able to purchase a PS5 at msrp from playstation.com. I guess I didn't try hard enough. My kid took the initiative to register on Amazon and Sony PlayStation and got an invite a few days ago. Pretty easy after that... LOL The PS5 is actually his... but the Midnight Black DualSense controller is mine... getting ready for Spider-Man Remastered on PC in a couple weeks... since it supports it.
pretty soon the joy will pass once you install more than 4 games and realize you are running out of space.After 2 years, I was finally able to purchase a PS5 at msrp from playstation.com.

You don't know my kid... I already said I would buy him a WD Black SN850 2TB later for his b-day or Christmas, but he said he doesn't care. He was primarily all digital for his PS4, and he had no complaints. If he asks for the SN850 later... I'll buy it for him, but I've never heard him complain for as long as he had his PS4, so I believe him when he says he doesn't care. He does have the PS5 disc version... so he could always buy a physical copy... so whatever he wants.
You know even the disc version takes up storage, right? I am not trying to be rude, just pointing it out since I understood your post as saying "if he runs out of space, he has the disc version so he can just buy a disc copy and play that"...
Just delete old data that’s no longer needed, it’s not been a problem yet for me and I’ve got 6 games.
How do you like the Uplift Cubby? I like the top tray but struggle to imagine use cases for the open cubby
Yah... true... haha. I'm actually the type that likes having assurance of overhead-overkill storage... so I understand the comment of no joy running out of space.
(m.2 C: and D:, and ssd E: drives are used for gaming... the rest on content creation.)
Just realized 3rd webcam (Canon) in my setup shows up as storage drive... LOL.
Anyway... knowing my kid and how he was with his PS4, he isn't the type to keep games on his system he doesn't play. I haven't seen him lose his joy about storage then... I expect the same with his PS5 now. But if he wants to upgrade his storage... there is an option for him add if he wants.
your right I dont. I didn't mean to offend. I was joking mostly and venting my own frustrations with the product. I use disk version too. Ps 4 titles can be run from a standard usb drive. so if you are mainly doing ps 4 titles it won't be a problem. Its the ps 5 titles that take up the most room. I use gran turismo disk and even with the disk in it took 98 gb of data. horizon forbidden west disk version takes 88 gb of data. its tough if you mainly play ps 5 content.

I really love it, but I use it with various folders that I need on a daily bases and for just general storage. I'm going to cut some black felt and glue it to the tray as the only thing I don't like is the white felt on it and feel like it would look much cleaner if it was black.

And then additional drives to back these up right? haha
With my last desktop I use to horde linux isos, had about 10TB, then another 10TB in external backups. Was going to expand setting up a NAS with the new desktop being NVMe only. But got sick of cataloguing, all my self made content fits on an external 500GB SSD with plenty to spare and a copy on OneDrive.
Yes I do have external backup drives... I'm just so bad at organizing... I hardly look at them... so it's impossible for my to find my archived content for my clients/creators if they need them. Any suggestions on how be more organized?
For filing haven't done anything special, just grouping things into folders. With backing up, when I move stuff to my computer, I'll make a copy on OneDrive after I have edited/sorted/named the files. But am a bit lazy to copy to an external, so my local copy sits in a 'To Backup' folder and when I plug the drive in, I'll move them all across. My OneDrive folder structure is the same as my external drive.
If I was running a business, I would invest in a NAS so everything you need to work is in the one place. Have the working files you need on the work machine (with a copy on the NAS before starting, in case things get damaged), when the project is done move to the NAS, keeping a simple file system that you can find anything easy enough with out searching. To back that up, you can use your existing drives, or if you have money buy a second NAS to mirror it.
If working with your current archive solution, depending on the number of drives your have. I would split the content by date, or if you work with a variety of different content, split by type. Maybe even keep a spreadsheet of what is on each labeled drive.
