A 250MB zip disk! After the click of death on the drives, the 250MB disk and drives work well, even to this day! Flash storage on USB and burnable CDs had won by the time the updated disk went out the door.
Remember when floppy disks used to be floppy but then these model floppy disks came out and they weren’t floppy but we were too fucking arrogant of a society to change the name?
I still have a USB zip drive along with a few disks. Not much utility unless you’re into a very specific era of retro computing, but it’s a neat bit of history.
Flashbacks of roller blading to my buddy’s house while my parents were at a fundraiser/auction diner for my school, snagged the Doom floppyiex installed them, played them until my driveway motions kicked on, and deleted the game as they came in the door while loading up Math Blaster (or whatever it was called) lol
Doom 7?

Duke Nukem IV? Isn’t that Duke Nukem Forever!?
Wow, 3.5 inch floppies! Haven’t seen these in….25 years

Core memory unlocked.

I feel nostalgic even though I wasn’t born at the time.
Zip disks? You were the coolest kid in town when you had one, even if it took forever to copy something. How do you read these disks nowadays?

I hope that zip disc does not ahve the click of death on it.
