Quite portable: weights only 32 kg (70 lbs). As you may have noticed, it has 2 sets of read/write mechanisms, and, from what people said, it was "seen" by the computer as 2 disks.

 

I wonder if it is compatible with ImgBurn...

LOL mmalves. You could fit the data of a small country on something that size now.

looks like an old hard drive i took apart once

probably wasn't a giga, but it was a 14 inch glass plate 3/8 inch thick

I just had to see what made it tick

took apart a 10 gig recently, 4 small floppys inside

BUT the magnet really holds paper to the fridge!!!!!!!!!!!

 

wheres the mechanical notches that hold it on the track???? like my first disassemble????
