  • I’ve got a full-height 5 1/4" 1GB hard drive around here. Thing is massive.

    I’ve also got most of the storage devices I’ve ever used over the decades:

    • 5 1/4" floppy
    • 3 1/2" floppy
    • 4mm DAT tape
    • 8mm DAT tape
    • 1/4" QIC tape
    • Zip disk
    • Cassette tape
    • Punched tape

    I’m missing the following:

    • DLT tape
    • LTO tape
    • 8" floppy
    • IBM 2315 disk pack

    Never used 9-track tapes, punch cards, or removable disk multipacks.

    EDIT Don’t know how I forgot about cartridges (Atari 400 and 2600 - still got em!) and CDROM/DVD/WORM. I have CDROM, DVDROM (in various formats), but no WORM media (i.e. IBM 3363 - a CDROM in a rigid case, before the official CD standard was created).
