Hi, I'm looking for an affordable setup and old gen laptop. This will be used when travelling out of town and also acts as a cheap 4th backup of my home NAS.
- Is it sensible to do this if I still don't have a gaming laptop but already have a gaming desktop, main and backup home NAS and 8tb offsite external drive. Outside onnection to my home NAS is not reliable and affordable.
- Which particular laptop and specs that's capable of hoarding 15-20tb media, files and playing light games (local install of Windows games in low-mid graphics of NBA2K, GTA V, Brawlhalla, emulation). I'm looking at ThinkPad T480 with i5 8th gen but not sure if it's gaming and hoarding capable.
- How do you allocate the needed storage space from SSD, m.2, USB for external drive, etc.? Only got portable 2tb ssd and 4tb hdd.
- What dual/single boot, OS and file system setup? Do I need file/folder/drive encryption and any security setup? THANKS!
