Hey, so I am in the process of pulling the offline installers from GOG and I intend to keep them long term. But some of these installers are 100GB+ and I do not need these on my computer. currently these are going onto a portable ssd, but this is a very low capacity one I had sitting around. It got me thinking, if it's gonna be something that never gets rewritten and is gonna end up across multiple devices anyway... Why not put them individually on low profile usb's or microsd cards, then keep a physical archive folder like we did in the days of CD's, (or like switch gamers do). So my question is, which should I do this in? I'm leaning towards Microsd because of the size and consistent form factor no matter which brand but what are your arguments for or against these?
