I was too curious and broke the seal. Will actually try to use it, probably for the rare full /home backup every 2 or 3 years, since it needs external power and is probably not that fast. I’d date this artifact late 2000s? It might have USB 2, making it fast enough.
Weird though that I’d buy this and forget about it forever. It definitely cost enough to matter to me back then.
750 GB isn’t nothing. Even if slow just do the old school thing and go get something to drink while you back up. You could also crack it open and put it in a modern enclosure.
Bingo, crack it and give it a faster bus
This is the way. Just recently found a bunch of even smaller disks and still put them in my Frankenstein server, bundled together with mergerfs.
