You know that old VHS tape? The one that held your favorite movie—or at least half of it? I recall as a kid that some movies were inexplicably on two tapes and I had no younger sibling to go switch it over for me.

The VHS nostalgia movement doesn’t seem to have the same traction as the post-digital music audiotape cult. Nevertheless, should you want to honor the medium, head over to CentennialMerchant’s shop on Etsy and you can get yours made into an external hard drive. Of course, you could just put the VHS box over your current external hard drive and save yourself $134.99. Still, they’re kind of cool.
