Yes, they don't replace an IDE mechanical drive in any sense other than possibly size and noise.
They are a good solution to legacy systems that can no longer get smaller hard drives.
I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

For years, I used one in an old headless 90Mhz PC running a
stripped down version of Linux and used it as a
firewall/router.
