UDO and UDO2 drives. I really wanted so bad. This was supposed to be 9.1gb magneto optical's replacement. Looks like giant minidiscs. 30-60gb discs. I waited for a SATA version to come out. Even at the time SCSI was on the way out, and this drive got released; SCSI only. A slow USB2.0 version was released but it's extremely rare and was reported to be too slow. And this is where UDO kinda froze in time. The drives never got an update; never a SATA or firewire version. They announced the 80gb discs but were never released. But the 30/60gb discs were made well past UDO's decline.

Man, I would love to back up my TV show DVD collection onto those chonky UDO discs.
