The iPod server was a powerful first iteration music sharing device. While not designed for convenience, its internal RAID can still be expanded with modern compact flash cards for 1.25TB of on-the-go storage.

Image transcription: A photo of an early iPod with colour display running macosx server 1.2. It looks cumbersomely thick, but also desirable.

I think the thing that’s throwing everyone off is the kernel of truth that you can upgrade iPods internal storage with modern flash cards

ETA: Obligatory DankPods

That’s the most unrealistic thing about this post.

Compact flash cards work great on the iPod minis
