Post title at limit, but meant to be peak tactile feedback in computer storage.

The space saved from being thin made it bad for looking up and finding a specific disk within a stack, tho, as it couldn’t fit an end label

    This and CD caddys. Nothing like spending a full minute swapping out the cd in the caddy, then getting that satisfying chunk when the mechanics kick in.

      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.
