Comment on 3.5" floppy disks were peak tactile feedback in storage: easy to stick in, drives had a button to immediately eject them, big enough to get labels, thin enough that stacks didn't take too much space

  I never liked cd caddies. The push button, wait for motor to eject, then push button, wait for motor to load was dissociative.

  The floppy drive was a direct mechanical link between the button and eject.
