Vaporeon wants MP3 player that contains tiny hard drive
MP3 player containing non-tiny hard drive would probably be impractical
@vaporeon_ the novelty of it would be cool though
@aescling MP3 player with 5.25-inch full-height MFM hard drive with 40MB or so, enough to store perhaps 10 songs
@aescling MP3 player with 2.5-inch hard drive may actually be practical, 2.5-inch hard drives are rather small
@vaporeon_ at this point it’s basically just an overengineered mixtape
maybe in a cool way though?
@aescling Problem: The 5.25-inch hard drive that I used (only half-height and seems to be broken), and even many of the 3.5-inch hard drives of similar age, are really noisy
Not sure whether they were always like this or whether with age something degraded to cause that noisyness...
@aescling MP3 player with 3.5-inch hard drive, so that you can store an entire terabyte of music, or more...
