Yeah. I remember those. Also remember some cutting drives to make their own windows. Neat idea that rarely went well.Still have a WD Raptor 36GB (10K RPM) in a Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz Shuttle SFF. 15+ years and it's still kickin'.
Just wish it was the one with the polycarbonate lens/window.

Ah yes, the Western Digital Raptor X 150GB 10K RPM HDD - those were the bomb in 2007, and they were even featured in the movie Live Free or Die Hard.Still have a WD Raptor 36GB (10K RPM) in a Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz Shuttle SFF. 15+ years and it's still kickin'.

I do!
Replaced two 20MB MFM 5.25" half-height disks out of my Compaq Deskpro from 1984/85 with a 4GB Compact Flash disk running on an 8-bit ISA adapter from 2013.

MFM = Modified Frequency Modulation, then came the RLL controller (Run Length Limited [encoding]).
50% extra storage using an MFM drive with an RLL controller due to use of compression
... as long as the surface was good enough quality otherwise it ended in bad sectors.
A surprising number of drives stood the test of time.
Without Norton Utilities (the holy grail!) to sort the failing drives, your data was hosed and probably was anyway.

Speaking of which, I used to roll with a 5.25" full-height Maxtor 1.2GB SCSI-2 HDD circa 2003 (mostly for fun).
It used 25 watts and had a dedicated ground on it; good times!
No, I mean 4GB - the CF card is from this decade, haha.i think you mean 4MB not gb.

Just made me think about all of the hours spent reading Computer Shopper magazine, too, hahaha.
I was cleaning out my garage and found some old SCSI drives that I was probably going to sell on eBay after I stopped using them. So here is an 18 GB Seagate drive. Note that it is 1.6 inches high.
