From GameCube MiniDVDs to 5.4TB SAS Drives – Storage Madness!

Post by jackhicks121 » Thu Apr 17, 2025 3:49 pm

While we're all about GameCube mods here, I couldn't help but think about storage evolution - we've gone from 1.5GB miniDVDs to modern SAS beasts like 5.4TB 15K RPM 2.5" drives! Imagine a GameCube with that kind of storage (and the [12Gbps SAS https://serverorbit.com/hard-disk-drive ... pm-2-5inch interface to match). Anyone ever tried adapting enterprise drives for homebrew projects? Could be wild for a massive ROM/ISO bank setup!

We reach now to 2TB µSD cards, which is way enough space for an entire localised fullset, and over the maximum data throughput the machine can handle. We also have M2 interface option, which still fits within the machine's dimensions.

Are you just a newcomer that don't know every mass storage solution already available on the GC, or a Bot that only came here to advertise for overkill storage at useless skyrocketing prices?
