When you say tons of storage, what do you mean? Terabytes? That is out there now.
Yeah
Jam that in your raspberry pi.
Storage density and access latency is inferior for spinning media.
Explain it to me but dumb it down a couple notches
A floppy disk was a round magnetic disk inside the square plastic protector so you can handle without damaging the data, maybe a better question is: why aren't 3.5" SD cards.
What would that be exactly? Would it spin for some reason? Or would it just be an extra large SD card?
