    Those were pretty cool. My dad had a single one in a hard plastic case, I want to say it was like 100 MB or something? I loved how chunky and solid it was.

    I do feel like it’d be cool to have a storage medium that at least feels like that again. Like sliding a big hot-swappable SATA SSD into a slot and getting a satisfying “kaCHUNK” and a little busy light.

      At the very least that sounds like a good use for the front slots in a modern computer case, as you said allow hot swapping and it’d be a pretty good system for games in particular.
