[QUOTE="badwhitevision, post: 2522467, member: 127847"] [USER=76766]@Rezep[/USER] thank you for the link. However,the game caching server seems to be something where the game is downloaded (but not installed) onto the server and then multiple people connect to it (as a steam library) and then they download the game from the local server and install it on their PCs instead of connecting to Steam directly and overloading the WAN connection. My concern was more of attempting to install a game to a network location like it was a HDD plugged into my computer and play games. [USER=86432]@enthusiast29[/USER] Concise and to the point. Thank you :tearsofjoy: [USER=27271]@ibose[/USER] It was just a random thought about how much you could push the limit. I mean I used to play GTA 5 on a 2.5 inch HDD (Laptop) with a poor graphic card without much latency with a decent playable experience and the max those HDDs could spin were 100-110 MB/s. 3.5inch HDDs used to spin at 200-230 MB/s. So considering a 2.5 GbE connection can accomodate the bandwidth of a 3.5 inch HDD, I was wondering what other things would have to be considered for this to become a reality. I am not planning on doing it anytime soon (or at all). Just curious. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
