DataHoarderNostalgia! I remember the reputation these had, and the cool name. Before SSDs, I was big into these.
More background:

For consumers and enthusiast, the Raptor was an amazing boot drive. The 74 GB model was large enough to hold the operating system and applications. The bulk of the data would still be stored on a second hard drive either also connected through SATA or even still through PATA.
How does this compare to Reddit's own backup export tool?
Did you recently have a wake-up call that made you think death is coming soon? I have, and it made me re-evaluate my archiving, in the sense that:
(1) For me, it's only worth organizing if I can find some memories later.
(2) There are some great tools like Hazel (on Mac) to auto-sort.
(3) Otherwise, it must be autotelic.
There is joy in being AUTOTELIC, when you enjoy the process of something for its own sake. No one else has to know or understand, as long as it matters to YOU!!! I want everyone who sees this to know this word, it's very powerful and meaningful.
That's a big rack.
But Solidigm SSDs are still ahead with power, speed, and capacity at 61.44 TB
