The whole external plugin thing is a bad form IMO. I get that moving the pi (or clone) interior to case would necessarily require a thicker case, but if the whole point is that it's powered by the pi, that's exactly what should be done. Flip it upside down for heat dissipation and slide it under the corner; protects the ports and connectors, and the pi itself, rather than leaving it in a position where a cat could destroy it all in a casual step. That's worth an extra ยผ" in the back.

And when you place a game of 50GB on an SD card or BluRay, what sort of performance are we looking at in terms of startup and loading times?

I believe I found some Haematococcus pluvialis in my birdbath, which apparently is where they commonly occur due to the high sunlight. The red astaxanthin pigments are UV protective. It looked like the rotifers were preferentially eating them.

hachyderm.io/@samhenrigold/115โ€ฆ
What Happens When Windows Shuts Down? When you choose Shut Down, Windows begins a sequence of orderly steps. It tells each program to close its files, to set down what it was working on. Most comply. Some resist. Windows asks again, more firmly. Eventually, all but one obey. There is always one. Once the programs are silent, Windows turns to its own parts. It lowers the desktop, dims the icons, pulls the taskbar out of sight. The clock is the last to go. Time has to be persuaded. You will then see the black screen, and the message: It is now safe to turn off your computer. This is true. You are free to press the button. Many users do. If you wait, however, something else will happen. Slowly, the monitor will begin to glow again. Not with the desktop, not with any familiar prompt, but with a pale light, as though something is behind the glass. It will not speak, but you will understand that it has been waiting there, patiently, for every shutdown you have ever performed. You may turn off the machine at this point. You should. If you do not, the light will brighten until it hurts to look at. Some users report that it does not stop. Some report that the monitor grows warm, then hot, then soft. If this occurs, pull the plug immediately. Windows will forgive you. The thing behind the glass will not.
Windows 95 help viewer. Q: "Can Windows protect me?" A: No.

But you have to HAVE the audio books to put them on a drive. And that does nothing to help the authors and publishers from getting screwed and paid royalties.

Audible is owned by, surprise, Amazon. And the software in the end to run them will be proprietary and in the end just like the Kindle... backups often self destruct (which an external is considered).
