   My more-than-a-decade old mSATA SSD just died in my router. Damnit.

     @silverwizard you want this? It’s just gathering dust (not literally)

     @djb I am looking jealously at it!

     but I'm gonna buy a new one, and I have an old settop box with one.

     I realized I bought that disk a year after I bought the router. It died when I came home from my honeymoon (same night) and my roommate was a streamer, so I replaced it with that disk. I had an SD card, coaxed it to life on that, bought a 120GB disk from Canada Computers, then an 8GB off Aliexpress. Put the 120GB in the set top box later.

     So that card is almost 10-years-to-the-day old

     I feel like a proper cyberpunk when I manage to pull apart a set top box, pull out the disk, and use that to rebuild my router.
