Those who remember the days of floppy disks and long for the nostalgic aesthetic of them will find the 1TB External Diskette Drive to be just perfect. The drive is designed by Ahhaproject and looks to merge retro design aesthetics with the required usages of today.
As the name denotes, the drive has 1TB of storage for users to make use of with their computer of this decade rather than one from the 90s or earlier as the design would denote.
The design concept of the 1TB External Diskette Drive was created by the design firm using a series of makeshift components. However, the brand is open to licensing the design out to get the product to market.
