I still have the 100 and a 250 in USB.
They are the new secure storage option (like straight drive transmission is a anti-theft option)

This is 'rope memory' which held the program onboard Apollo 11 for the moon landing trip in 1969.
72K of memory, all hand wound, taking months to "program". If a wire went through one of the circular cores it represented a binary one...
Yet it was one of the first user programmable computers.
