Daily reminder to throw these out before 2020. Don't

Nah, I stil have a few. I might even have a spare floppy cable somewhere.

What if i want to use the wires for some hobby project and are too cheap to buy a roll of wire?

>hobby project
You're on the wrong board then

>>60737797
Cut your internet cable, then.

how the fuck do i plug my hard drives in then?

Sata has been used since 2005.

Actually, this too (somewhat). An old IDE cable is perfect for interfacing with Raspberry PI's GPIO pins.

> implying the kids on /g/ even know what this is

Nice try grandpa

>tfw have bin of 80gb IDE drives I rip from computers people throw out

This. I used it install a replacement BIOS in my Xbox.

>>60737797
This so much

I still have use for this cable.

I have a Athlon II system with two IDE CD/DVD-RW drives in it. It also has Firewire on the motherboard.

I have gone through the time-consuming process of reading every single CD and DVD I burned ever but I still keep that box around and I plan to keep on having it around for quite some time. I may have the need to read a CD or DVD again sometime.

I know there are SATA CD/DVD drives and I know they are cheap but it would probably be a waste of money.

Looks like some SLI cable for the 1080ti?

>>60737766
Wtf is that?

>>60743005
A towel that looks like a computer cable

>>60738177
No its not. You have to deal with the bullshit key.

>throwing out perfectly good equipment

I’m going to turn my old PC into a personal cloud server

>>60743308
I bet you could transfer at 20mb/s with that thing!

>>60738021
They are probably on wi-fi. Gonna have to cut the power cable to their computer. lol.

SATA's advantage over EIDE is smaller cables, which facilitate better airflow.

every ide drive Ive ever used was miserably slow.
Im the type of person that clings on to old shit, I was even still using a core 2 duo (no ht, 2 core) as my main (and best) computer until last year (and I do heavy vm work + heavy loads (like ove one thousand tabs between host and vms)).
Not even I can deal with ides bullshit. Ive stopped stuff half way though completion just to rip out the ide and put a sata drive in and still get done in less than half the time.

>>60737766
Nope, I still have my old HDD from 2007 going as a main

>>60737766
No.

>>60737766
What happens in 2020?
