News DIY Solid State Drive uses SD Cards

I still use external parallel ZIP drives

 

What on Earth are you using them for?

Though, I had an internal IDE ZIP drive (for old backups - migrated from an older computer) up until about 18 months ago - then all of a sudden the computer wouldn't boot until I unplugged the drive. I've never missed it.

 

Another Flash device that just missed the boat.

 

eeek at the thought of how long things will take to read and write on that floppy adaptor

 

Wow, up to 128MB !!!!! You've got to give them points for originality - but for practicality it almost equals the (now old news) USB BBQ (link)

 

beacause people have floppy drives these days ...

 

Of course when those things first appeared about six years ago when SmartMedia cards appeared the USB mass-storage drivers weren't quite so reliable, and a lot of the card readers needed separate drivers to work, of course according to the customer review so did this thing so it's obvious that the company hadn't thought things through.

On the actual topic of the thread, ooh man that things is expensive, nice idea, bad execution.
