"Hm... 1 chicken or 1 chickens... ๐ค"
Hold up. There are six 1 chickens? I gotta see what a 1 chickens capacity drive looks like.
1 Chicken is measured by the cut size. The smallest currently is measured in bites. Here is a 3lb partition...
Now chicken has ribs? Did they grow up in 3 mile Island?
Do they come in terabites?
Cubes?! Well I'll be darn, we got solid-state chicken now.
Wut.
Guaranteed source of iodine? Mmmm
strictly speaking, if you mix salt in some oil, you have an essential oil.
I think a cube is equivalent to a byte
No, a cube is clearly slang for a qubit or quantum bit so we are dealing with storage for a quantum computer.
The six 1 chickens are for RAID
๐ฏ
They can play RAID SHADOW LEGENDS?
Redundant Avians In Drive?
The filters are different today and only one result shows up, but apparently this is a 1 chickens drive: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Universal-500G-USB3-0-External-Hard-Disc-HDD-State-Drive-Notebook-Desktop-for-Flash-Deals-Women-Men-New-Blue/9815853058
If you're curious enough to reproduce the results yourself, obviously it's Walmart (I'm not proud, but they're the only store within an hour of my small town that carries essentially any electronics at all). I got the results searching for "20tb external drive" (not carried, it turns out) and trying to filter by capacity and in-store, but I imagine you could perform a less specific search and perhaps get even more amusing filters.
Everytime an item gets a search optimized name, an angel gets its One Size Fits All Wing Wings Bird Men Women White Feathers All Ages New.
What I love is they include "state" in there. Is not a solid state drive, but it does have some sort of unspecified status at times, so it's a state drive.
