Description
The Folder Drive, a MacOS-inspired drive that looks like a folder taken from your desktop.
I had several internal SSDs that I didn't use, so I had the idea of reusing them as external drives. I bought on Aliexpress at this address:
https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005006174557231.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.2d3f3696Dzu1pC&gatewayAdapt=glo2ita a 2.5-inch SATA SSD to USB 3.0 converter.
For the design I was inspired by an idea by David Delahunty and Junho Han, I tried to make the design as easy as possible to make and to print with the best possible quality. I added the drawing of the classic mac os icons on each drive, so as to immediately recognise on which drive documents, photos, games and applications are saved. I also created a base where to place the drives which also contains the USB cable to be able to connect them to the PC. I hope you like my project!
Update 28.09.25
I made a new scale base to better organise the folder drives.
