@TechTangents@dialup.space now that you say 8” I had to get out a half-height 8” and compare. What are the dimensions of the faceplate of the weird one?

@TechTangents@dialup.space I was also thinking maybe it was the size it was so it could fit in an existing 8” bay with 3 across instead of 2. Because the future is 5.25” drives. But not quite. 3 drives are a little bit wider.

@fozztexx@mastodon.fozztexx.com Ooh, that's an excellent theory that I hadn't thought of! That appears to be a bit taller though, the manual claims it is 2.1in tall so about 0.15in shorter than your 8in drive there.
