Star Wars VHS Hard Drive Reuses Tapes for Geeky Purposes

Long ago, in a time that seemed so far away, VHS tapes reigned supreme in the world of entertainment; now, the tapes are back in the form of the Star Wars VHS Hard Drive by CentennialMerchant.

Since almost no one watches tapes anymore, CentennialMerchant decided to transform one into the Star Wars VHS Hard Drive. As you can see, the cover displays the original Star Wars cover in all its glory. Inside of it is a Samsung 2.5” hard drive with 750GB capacity, which is more than enough. CentennialMerchant has also made others in 320GB, 500GB and 640GB capacities. If you have a specific hard drive in mind, you can make a request and have your own custom one made.
