I still have 2 Maxtor portable HD’s I bought in 06’ in college and they still work today. Wished they stayed separate from Seagay
So what’s the difference (if any) between an SSD and a “thumbdrive”? They’re both solid-state storage - right? I’ve left thumbdrives in pants pockets and subjected them to the washing machine (no the dryer!) without any data loss. And I’ve left them in the trunk of my car (had to have reached temps in excess of 100 degrees) without damage or loss.
I wonder why SSD drives are so temperature sensitive?
Odd you should mention that. I just yesterday found a couple of Maxstors and a Seagate drive(s) that had the ‘doze 95b, 98SE, and RedHat 5.0 on them and they ran perfectly.
Well, the one MB had some questionable ‘lytics, I think, judging from all the AM hash it generated on powering up, but the systems functioned perfectly.
Hadn’t powered them up since somewhere around 2001 or 2002.
Think I’ll go look for those old XT and AT MBs and see what I can find...
