Actually, no, I'm thinking 5.5. I don't think I've seen 8 either. I mean, 8's a big old disc. Yeah. Yeah. It's big. You do some damage with that. I wonder what capacity, I wonder how much you could get in it. Probably less than the 5.5 or the 3.5. Yeah, probably. I hope so. No, I don't know because it was that direction of travel, wasn't it?

Yeah. okay tell me why well i can believe the u.s having some old systems and you need you know still happens to need big big old disc the i don't know the point of raspberry pi is all very low tech lo-fi stuff they do have some bigger bits but sure i don't know yeah maybe they're trying to diversify uh and you think what is the what's the lie for you jared
