RGB STORAGE?

[Duotronic]

I gave it a thought, but why isn't there RGB storage. It would make some sense to make a 1TB ssd or 2Tb harddrive with the logo RGB but why has nobody thought of it. unless nobody has any care in looking at their storage (glass back panel). Any thoughts?

yeah. HDDs and SSDs are almost always hidden

@leadeater might like his home rack lit like a Christmas tree. 

 

Then again, we can just buy Western Digital and get the same effect.

There are RGB SSDs, Linus has actually covered a few of them.

Adding RGB to a storage array does make it 50% faster, surely it does right?

When you install a HDD the logo is facing up so you wouldn't really see it so it's kind of useless.

FACT: RGB hard drives open a 10Gb/s LAN connection over WiFi.

Yea, you and everyone else is waiting in line for one or two of those.  And if you take two of them and hook them up in a serial configuration, it doubles the speed to 20Gbs over wifi.

I have a CM MasterCase Maker 5T with four USB 3.1 ports on the front of the case that are lit up in red.  Does that count?

The only purpose that I would see RGB USB would be to find them at night, I think it's not in the USB.

Nope, not in the USB, it's the case.  Just threw that in there for shits and grins.
