Re: "Just the sound of someone undoing a zip can activate..."
Am I hopelessly old-fashioned if I say that I genuinely like physical ON/ OFF switches?***
Same here.
I actually stopped buying proper external drives when the half-wit shits decided not to include ON/OFF switches anymore.
Easier to buy bare drives and use them in a dock or home-made enclosure rather than reward those idiots for such mean and unhelpful decisions. Just yanking the cable or finding the right plug out of a dozen is not an option and I prefer drives to unmount properly and not be turned on by accident.
Apart from the Iron Law of Monopoly, I don't know why the drive-makers all ate themselves until only 3 survived, but survival of the fittest in no way meant survival of the cleverest for this industry.

Alao I may say how smart and sharp it is, after the dinosaur age of beige boxes to have a dozen wires together very very black.
