"If you wanted to create a floppy disk from scratch, you'd first have to create the universe." Well, Carl Sagan said that about apple pie, but it basically holds true no matter what you want to create from scratch. Turns out trying to create new floppy disks is also not a small endeavor. This is the second person seriously trying afaik so far, and he's coming pretty close already. I especially like the chapter called "chasing microns". This is really something special, so go watch it 📺💾

@Datassette_User this is over engineered to the max. The goal of this video is to look nice, not to record anything, even if the technical side is not completely empty.
@f4grx @Datassette_User I, for one, just want the aluminium enclosure he made. I'm happy to to use the "floppy" bit out of an old floppy disc, but I just want the case to look awesome.
@rc2014 @Datassette_User yes! That was awesome.
@f4grx @Datassette_User A few years ago I ended up with what has become my favourite compact flash card. It is milled out of aluminium and has a holographic sticker on the back. It would be awesome to have a matching floppy disc!

@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!
