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

Yep lol.

And you could tell by the sound if your read/write operation was going to fail for whatever reason.

    Yeah I was wondering the same thing. Didn't Abort just cancel trying to read that sector, while Fail would cancel the entire operation?

    Nope, I looked it up. Abort would completely abort the whole thing, while Fail was supposed to return an error code to the program so that it could decide what to do next. Like Ignore but less crashy.
