Hard Drives.

Hey Guys,
I thought this was kind of awesome!:-D:-D
The one on the right is a standard HD(Obviously.)
The one on the left came out of an old Compaq (about 13 years old I think.)
Look at the physical size difference.

 

The one on the right isn't a laptop drive. I pulled that from another old desktop.

 

That's more like it. Haha.

The one on the left is a Quantum Bigfoot TS.
The one on the left is a Quantum Fireball ST.
As I'm typing this I realize that they are both Quantum Drives.

 

As most of you have probably already surmised, the Quantum Bigfoot was a 5.25 inch HD and the Fireball was a 3.5 inch HD.

 

Yes, I had just never seen/heard of a 5.25 inch Drive and it surprised me.:-D

 

Anyone else like to join me in the "wow, thanks for making me feel old" group?

5.5inch Floppy's FTW! :-D

 

Ned, I'm talking 5.5 inch HD not Floopy.

 

Anyone wanna get this for me? :-D

Dude, I know you were talking about HDD, the 5.5 inch was actually a coincidence I hadn't thought about, I nearly posted something about Beta-Max, but decided to go with computer and the first thing that came to mind from way "back in the day" was good old 5 inch floppys.
Damn I hate explaining my jokes :-D

Edit: On re-reading it, I can see how it was missed and in all honesty was poorly executed. But hey... it's me and you all know I'm odd :-D

 

Now hold on a minute Ned, 5.5"?

I'm sure you meant 5.25".

 

Oh I see.
Reference to the Bold-- Yes, we know.

 

Dammit! :-D

Remember the sandwiches in top-loaders? :major

 

Not sure if that thing belongs in the recycling bin or on Antiques Roadshow. :confused
