Recording uncompressed or high-bitrate (50+ Mbps) 4K footage in OBS Studio writes approximately 22GB per hour. For content creators who stream or record 6 hours daily, this writes over 48 Terabytes per year directly to their primary internal NVMe SSD, rapidly consuming the drive's TBW (Terabytes Written) lifespan and driving high SSD temperatures during intensive gaming sessions.
To record OBS directly to Google Drive without wearing out your internal SSD: mount your Google Drive as a virtual drive using rclone mount with a small RAM-based VFS cache, or configure OBS's Custom Output (FFmpeg) to stream directly to an RTMP/SRT ingestion server connected to SaveInDrive. Your stream writes seamlessly into your cloud archive in real-time.
