@fgaz @nina_kali_nina @spacehobo The big advantage in this regard is that unlike #FDD, #LTOultrium or other #Tape and #OpticalMedia like #ArchivalDisc ¹ and #OpticalDiscArchive ² it needs to have the flexibility to transparently grow in capacity beyond standardized, fixed sizes in a longterm-compatible manner.

After all, the problems with #SD cards and #USB - flashdrives are due to #handling issues and space as well as interface constraints.

@rc2014 @f4grx @Datassette_User see, I want a #NeoFloppy as a new #Storage media because #SSD|s are the future and #BDXL and even #ArchivalDisc are getting maxxed out with current-day storage demands...

Plus #NVMe is faster than #SATA-6G that #ODD|s still use!

Call me weird but I am convinced something like the NeoFloppy will be more groundbreaking than the ArchivalDisc or any multi-layer optical media as a compromise to cost, scalability, convenience and useability.

Shure, for WORM (Write - Once Read - Many) Archival Storage this will be a net benefit given Tape Drive systems like LTO wear out and there needs to be a higher storage capacity than that of M-DISC media.
