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

    You can label them with smol labels, that’s what I do with all of mine! They’re full of movies, books, and video game installs.

  No, but SD/MMC do. Micro SD are so small they’re awkward to carry and store.

    I disagree, MicroSD is my external storage of choice. Their size makes them ideal to carry and store but you might need to rethink how you go about doing it.

      In a tactile sense, MicroSD are worse in every sense. I have a case to store some of mine, which I have to open gently unless I want half of them to pop out and fall on the floor. A different storage, which I 3D printed, fixes that problem but has another, which is picking up a single one and not 3 at a time, since they’re kept in a line with roughly 2mm of space between them

        Kinda sounds like you are blaming the case at least in part. Why not switch to a better case?
