I dunno, maybe I'm just a cheap bastard. I would hate to "waste" a nice, big, modern SATA drive on one of my legacy systems. Used sub-127GB ATA66/100/133 drives are incredibly cheap on eBay or elsewhere and they just work without any messing around. Heck, even NOS is really cheap if you're patient. If you raid recycling centers, you can probably even get them for free.
I've got six BNIB NOS 3.5" drives in storage and another six used 2.5" drives. Really, unless they die of old age and disuse, I should have enough for the rest of my life.
... and if they do die of old age, I'll be looking forward to the results of Phil's SD card experiments with great antici... pation!
