spinning rust ...

I still have functioning ST506 drives here, (including a full height 5 MEG 5-1/4 MFM or something in a really old desktop 8086), NAS is answer, I feel also, Home based now I run Multible Storage Backups, When I buy I buy 2 USB/NAS, its getting a bit strange, but theres a sub 1, 1, 2, 3, and now 4 TB generation, so I can always go back and rebuild some of it at least, but now in last 43 years have ended up with 3 big plastic tubs of Spinning Rust, in storage, I look at fondly, but with my luck a meteorite will land on them, and I lose DATA !!!!

Maybe I can get some back from the pre usb/nas, CD/DVD Archives .....
