minus-square@JovialSodiumlinkEnglish5•4 hours agoI’d love to see something like this in a tower format, and with regular 5.25" bays with faceplates rather than these faux floppy drives. I’d pay a somewhat unreasonable amount for that.

minus-square@leisesprecher@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 hours agoSomething like a 5 ¼" archival SSD would be really cool. Just a solid storage chonk, that you can forget in a drawer. Pipedream, I know.
minus-square@cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglish1•22 minutes agoSSDs are not suitable for long term storage. Modern consumer grade SSDs are only rated for 1 year of data retention without power. Only SLC flash is suitable for long term storage, but those are very expensive and low capacity.
