I miss portable physical storage in general. USB drives aren’t the same because they are both a media and interface. I guess the spiritual successor is SD cards but I would love a cheap, not necessarily huge or super fast storage, but with excellent resilience and archival properties for 50+ year storage. That’s a niche I feel like was never filled. The debate around CD/DVD/Blu-ray and various dyes never really died so I never dared using them for that. Best recommendation for home use (because tape is more enterprise oriented) seems to be multiple hard drives and verifying them every now and then, but that always felt like such a crutch, haha.
