At any rate, it’s super-weird to be handling 5"1/4 disks in 2025. After all these years… And what’s even weirder is, both the 3"1/2 and the 5"1/4 in that computer I salvaged are buttery smooth, like if they were totally new. They’re probably working smoother than any actual drive I owned when drives were a thing people had to use every day 🙂
