"$400 off" - coincidence? Looks like $400 was supposed to be the discount. HN never sells anything for a round number?

You don't want to mount them. Rather copy as raw block devices.

It took a few years after Jobs' death to get an iphone bigger than a "giant" 4". How is Tim Cook looking?

Can forgive the lack of ethernet. But a "dock" with no power pass-through, usb-3, or usb-C?
