Blank media shelf

(1/6) > >>

Halcyon:
This was an "IRC exclusive" but I figured I'd post here also.

I've been re-evaluating my storage and sorting through a lot of stuff I had. Donating something components, testing and throwing away faulty stuff etc...

Part of this exercise was to organise my blank media where I could easily find them, rather than being tucked away in boxes. So I set up some cheap garage shelving from the hardware store inside a spare wardrobe.

I'd love to hear about and see what types of media you guys have laying around. The more obscure, the better!

From top to bottom:

* 3.5-inch double-sided, high-density disks
* 3.5-inch double-sided, double-density disks
* Box of mixed 3.5-inch disks of various capacities, including some old Amiga software
* 8-inch, double-sided, double-density disks
* 5.25-inch double-sided, double-density disks
* 5.25-inch double-sided, high-density disks
* Box of mixed 5.25-inch disks
* DVD-R in jewel cases
* BD-R (25 GB) discs
* DVD+R (8.5 GB) dual-layer discs
* CD-R (700 MB) discs
* CD-RW discs
* DVD-R (4.7 GB) single-layer discs
* DVD+R (4.7 GB) single-layer discs
* MiniDV cassettes in various lengths
* Compact cassette tapes
* ZIP disks (100 MB)
* ZIP disks (250 MB)
* Castlewood ORB (2.2 GB) disks
* 130mm (2.6 GB) magneto-optical disks
* Jaz disks (1 & 2 GB)

I use the Quad-density 2S/4D, 96 TPI, 5 1/4" floppies on my Sage computers allowing up to 800 KB to be stored on a single floppy.

Psi:
You need some LS120 disks

and maybe some DVD-RAM

I plan on expanding my collection of both disks and drives. Currently I don't have anything that is LS-120. I would love it though.

Yeah, quad density 5.25 floppies, with the SFD-1001 drive gets me 1 MB of storage.
74 minute Minidisc.
90 minute Sony NT digital microtape
3.25" floppy disc
