Floppies were the most ubiquitous storage device for a while so it's no surprise. Nowadays it could be a few USB type A ports. We're slowly switching to USB type C but type A has now been standard for around two decades.

Until "their" stuff disappears. I follow 123 backup rule so I have stuff online but there is nothing like having your own collection. Thanks but I'll stick to physical media if possible.
