Post title at limit, but meant to be peak tactile feedback in computer storage.

The space saved from being thin made it bad for looking up and finding a specific disk within a stack, tho, as it couldn’t fit an end label

      Btw, how much data fits a 5.25 magnetic disk when using modern tech?

      Edit: I did the math. With the same storage density as modern LTO-10 tapes, a 5.25" disk could hold around 31GB, while a 3.5" one could hold around 15GB.
