Yeah, I miss the minidisc. But I always thought the sliding door mechanism was a possible point of failure on the units. And then, they were also rather expensive. Costing about $15 per unit. And then, there’s data density. It didn’t seem like it could hold enough data. Or transfer it fast enough. But, can modern day flash drives ever become as cheap as minidiscs? I always have a concern that flash drives can easily become damaged or corrupted, since you’re actively plugging it directly into an electrical source. I once got my flash drive fried, and the USB port was also fried. I never trusted them again. So I tend to buy SD Cards, and treat them sorta like minidiscs, for my stale cold storage needs.
