Review: Hardware canucks
_______________
The idea of external drive enclosures is not a new one. In fact the original IBM "Personal Computer" (AKA IBM 5150) did not even come with an internal hard drive, and neither did early Apple computers. Up until Seagate (then known as Shugart Technology) released the ST-506 5.25 inch, 5 megabyte hard drive, the very idea of having an internal hard drive was ludicrous. Pre-1980 hard drives were huge devices with platters either 8 inches or 14 inches wide and were colloquially referred to as "washing machines” which you could make “dance” by properly timing seek and reads.
