CD-RW
What some people consider the holy grail of physical media, although BD-RE (Blu-Ray Rewritable) discs exist and hold up to 128 GB compared to CD-RW's 700 MB (0.7 GB for scale). Also, CD-RW was made after DVD came out (although DVD-RW didn't exist for a while afterward).
Example:
1: "Just got a CD-RW to hold all my photos."
2: "Just get a BD-RE. Same space, more storage."
3: "Physical media? Just. Use. Cloud storage."
