@TracyTThomas@mastodon.beer With great caution and a high failure rate, I'm sure. Everybody migrated to the modern disk-sealed-in-drive style pretty much as soon as it became commercially feasible. Removable hard disks were pretty much extinct by the 1990s. SyQuest and Iomega did make a few more removable HDDs in the 1990s and 2000s, but they were unreliable and generally flopped in the market. Removable HDDs only truly succeeded when the entire drive was made removable (i.e. USB HDDs). @altomare@oldbytes.space
