Commander still lives on through many clones.
I am using the EF-Commander
It is a German made software
I use it every day, there is no substitute for a 2 window file utility
Ah yes, I was very fond of Directory Opus on the amiga

Remember Datasettes? Or Microdrives?

We called them just cassette tapes even if they held data, only Microdrive I've seen used was on the Sinclair QL.

I was scratching my head for a while, thinking that ancient Sinclair used a Microdrive. That one is pretty much equally outdated.

I remember those, they were around 15 years ago or so and were used to give more compact flash storage and speed.

The QL one were not really drives as in a small hard drive, it was an endless tape:
