An LGR Oddware episode looking at Sony's MDH-10 MD Data drive from 1995, which used MiniDisc for computer storage years before Hi-MD. The host tries out the drive with its original drivers and software.
HN cites it as the go-to video on the little-known MD Data format, mostly in MiniDisc and obsolete-media threads.

Seems like you're right but I never-ever saw this: [VIDEO] Although it seems like it's not really minidisks.
Sony did release drives, DGR looks at one in this video for example [VIDEO] . It's yet another example in the weird graveyard of replacements for the 1.44MB floppy that didn't catch on.
They did. MD Data was a thing. It just flopped super hard. It was way too expensive over Zip disc for a minor storage increase and size decrease. LGR did an Oddware video about it a few years back: [VIDEO]
