I know I start a lot of threads like this... but does anyone remember tape backup?
Once upon a time I had a couple of Conner tape backup drives.... you know, the ones that hooked to a floppy connector and were slow as molasses in January? Storage topped out at 400 Mb with a Travan cartridge, and to do a backup/verify you had better be prepared to let it go all night.. Still, they were better than nothing.
There is very little hardware I have actually every THROWN OUT.. these were an exception. When I got my first CD-R, these were history 😁
