There's something poetic about using a floppy disk to get hard

    I wonder if they could now make floppy disks with the same form factor but modern tech

    If you put a small, double sided optical disk inside, you could probably get a few hundred gigs in there, maybe even up to a terrabyte or three. If you put flash storage, you could fit a few dozen terrabytes. Hell, you could build that yourself if you just bought a bunch of microsd cards and soldered the contacts into a different form factor
