How do you guys deal with hard drives in older systems? Some of the hard drives in my systems are going on 20 years and it just seems to me like they're ticking time-bombs. I don't store any information I don't have backed up on these older drives, but I'd like to replace the drives in my systems before a problem arises. What kind of options are there for using modern drives in older systems? It would seem wasteful to use a large modern hard drive (if it's even possible) on systems that can only address a maximum storage space measuring in the megabytes. Are there any flash memory based solutions that can be used with older drive standards?
I've had my system running - I'll admit it's not the best
The data isn't right, and the response time is a mess
It crashes every hour, and it isn't worth a damn,
But I'm satisfied because it runs just like an IBM!
