Mad optical drive respect.

Giving people the ability to play 90s games and burn fire mix CDs like it's 2k all over again.

Cat.exe doesn't feel the need to respond.

It might just be in standby mode. Try jiggling a mouse!

Love those HAF cases, they make for great NAS setups

Excellent specimen of floof, wonderful ear tufts and boopable snoot!

what is a front sata port?! 😍

[–] gezginorman@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

there was something called e-sata at some point, but i have no idea, i've never used it

It came out sometime after FireWire 800 but before Thunderbolt 1. IIRC, it can provide data transfer speeds up to 1.5 Gb per second, which at the time, was the fastest connection available before Thunderbolt came out, which could provide data transfers up to 10 GB per second. Although, the technologies are different.

Also, I spy that FireWire 400 port ;)

I had e-sata ports on a drive dock. Came here to see if anyone else noticed the Firewire port, was not disappointed when e-sata entered the mix.

e-SATA is great because it was the perfect combination of fast AND cheap.
