Something about the sticker placement and black lettering directly applied to the metal cover, I've never seen another hard drive with a similar aesthetic.
Those drives worked well, I still have a 40gb IDE PATA Quantum Fireball out in the garage and about 3 years ago I tested it and this baby still worked!
Funny how my brain latches onto the seemingly randomest things and patterns, but for stuff I want to actually remember, it can be a struggle..
- justsomehnguy 4y agoI still have a shoe-box filled with 20-40-80GB IDE drives. Along with a P3 box which I don't have a slightest idea when and how I acquired it, except what I did bought Edison Gold 16 for it.
