An attempt to make a storage device that looks like a normal hard drive.
Although how the disk works, I do not know at all https://youtu.be/IiKVbhf0r74

Sorry for the late reply, but this is actually a simple memory array. Not really a HDD, but actually more of an SSHD, since it uses memory cells instead of giant, spinning, magnetically-inductive platters.
Enough about Hard Drives, let me explain how this works.
So, you have about 11-12ish individual memory cells that are connected together, and are tied to a central memory controller (the constant combinator that the player interacts with).
The first signal he uses is the green signal. This signal defines the file's name in the system, and can be set to any number within ℝ (all real numbers). It is used for quicker file access, and reading from a file name associated with multiple memory cells may result in some interesting outputs.
The next signal he uses are called "Command Signals". These signals perform specific actions to the selected memory cell when executed.
The cyan signal is a standard "write" signal. This will write any other signal(s) present into the next available memory cell with the file name provided by the green signal.
The red signal is a standard "erase" signal. This will delete any and all signal(s) present in any memory cell(s) with the file name defined by the green signal.
The black signal is a custom signal, used by the player to transfer contents of other cells to the cell array that is currently being used. It is not used commonly, and it's usage should be avoided by newer users.

Hope this helps!

Looking at the dates, it's probably not a 0.16 blueprint.
