Very slick solution for highly portable and cheap bulk storage. The $99 toaster accepts a pair of naked SATA disks and exposes them via either a shared USB2.0 port or individual eSATA ports.
Copying data off of a Linux server we were able to sustain copy speeds of 60+ megabytes per second without any optimization efforts. Very nice.
This is a screenshot of all the volumes/disks permanently attached to my iMac. The breakdown is as follows.
On the internal 256 GB SSD, there's a single volume called Solid. It has OS X and all my applications on it, and is the boot volume. It has about 160 GB free at the moment.
The internal 1 TB HDD has two volumes. One is called Files, and is around 900 GB in size (725 GB free); I've offloaded various subfolders from my home folder onto that drive, as described in this blog post I wrote. The second volume is a 100 GB Boot Camp (Windows 7) volume, of which only 15 GB is free due to my Steam games library. I should have made it bigger, and may do so later.
I have a 2 TB Seagate GoFlex Desktop drive attached via FireWire 800, which I use for Time Machine backups of both the internal SSD and the Files volume on the internal HDD. Having a FireWire 800 connection really helps with Time Machine's sometimes ponderous performance, as does having loads of free space on the drive (1.9 TB free at the moment).
Finally, I have a Western Digital 2 TB USB2 drive attached, split into four volumes:
1. Solid Clone, 256 GB. I use this for my nightly SuperDuper clone of the internal SSD boot drive. The initial clone took a few hours, then each nightly clone is what SuperDuper calls a "Smart Update", which just adds/removes what's necessary to keep the clone identical to the original. Last night, for example, it took 6 minutes to run; I have it scheduled to start at 23:30.
2. Files Clone, 920 GB. I use this for my nightly SuperDuper clone of the Files volume on the internal HDD. Similarly to the Solid Clone, this is a Smart Update in SuperDuper. I run it at 01:00, and last night it took 1 minute to complete. My machine is set to sleep at 02:00, and I wake it when I get back into the office in the morning.
3. OS Test, 20 GB. This is used for testing other versions of OS X.
4. Backups, 800 GB. This is just a catch-all volume taking up the rest of the space on the drive; I may put it to more specific uses later.
I also have many other USB2 drives, including clones and Time Machine backups of old/unused machines, plus the active Time Machine destinations for my MacBook Air and Lauren's MacBook Pro.

Kodak Disk 4000 (1982)
Very simple camera, auto everything, for the defunct disk cartridges.
This model used a lithium battery that wasn't replaceable by the user, mine still has charge.
The format lasted less of a decade due to the poor quality of the enlargments, resulting on the difficulty in keeping the negative flat and the enlargement ratio necessary with the tiny negatives, of only 8x10 mm.
I invite you to visit my blog Classic Cameras
O disco rÃgido ou HD (Hard Disk), é o dispositivo de armazenamento de dados mais usado nos computadores. Nele, é possÃvel guardar não só seus arquivos como também todos os dados do seu sistema operacional, sem o qual você não conseguiria utilizar o computador.
Kyle noticed one day that the guy who made this sign used clip art of a floppy disk as a stand-in for a washing machine. Very clever.

On my recent vacation, Aaron and Dave were getting ready to put in some new crops. Walt, Aaron's father-in-law, had given them 9 acres of brush land that if they got it cleared they could use. Dave is disking the land in this photo to breakup roots and such.

These are more parts to the puzzle I don't actually have an answer for.
The disk is some sort of timekeeping mechanism. I loved the aesthetic of the machine, but I've lost my notes explaining the history and significance of the device.
I took these pictures in the Aarhus Clock Museum -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Old_Town,_Aarhus
If anyone from Aarhus, Denmark runs across this photo, do you mind running over to Old Town and telling me what this machine does?
Thanks!
