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

    I wish they’d make SSDs in a similar format with plug-and-play functionality.
    Stick your disk in and boot from it. Remove after shutdown and take it with you.

      That’s called a thumb drive and you can do it as long as the computer you are using has the option to boot from USB enabled in BIOS (typically personal machines come with that enabled but machines out in the public often disable it specifically because they don’t want you booting a different OS)

        Yep, all you have to do is buy a hot swap bay for your computer, and sometimes enable the feature on your motherboard.
