Moving digital materials from one place to another

I bought this mainly to make another batch of modded PlayStation 2 hard drives. Demand for PS2 mods has dropped significantly in recent years, but it is still cheap and an easy way to get an old Sony brick to play the games library without a working DVD drive. Then I remembered I have a very old hard drive from my emachines laptop, I wonder what's in there? I plugged it in and saw Windows Vista OS files and a bunch of family photos that I thought had been lost forever since 2004! Nothing else was there, but it was great to have this 80GB laptop IDE hard drive plugged in and working. I didn't have access to it before and it just sat in a drawer for years. Since then I've used it a lot, cloning discs, simplifying the original Xbox soft mods and so on. I can't say anything bad. Put it on the table while using. The plugs aren't docking stations, they're just plugs and can break, but who's moving them or holding them while copying data? I know there are a lot of stupid people out there, right? If I remember correctly there are a review or two on here that have one star because they couldn't hold it and shake out the dates like it was the last two ounces of ketchup left in the bottle. Why do you need to move it when you use it? I must be from a different time, when you didn't touch anything during the data transfer. You didn't even dare to breathe while the tape deck loaded your game onto your Commodore 64! Aaaah! Mistake! Must start again! Either way, it's cheaper than dirt and has 1001 uses as long as those uses are data-related. Highly recommended!
