Bah. No reason to advance beyond 5 1/4. Buy a notcher, and you can turn them into “flippy” drives and double your storage.

I stopped notching after I disassembled my 5 1/4" drive, found the optic sensor that finds the read/write notch and installed a toggle switch on it. Complete with a red/green LED that would show read only or writeable status.

Could be done with a pair of scissors, too.
And similar with the 3.5's. Been so long, something about drilling a hole on the opposite corner or taping a hole. Anyway, there was a way to expand the 3.5's capacity.
