If you have weird legacy hardware that needs floppy disks, I wouldn’t buy new media. In my experience most disks made after the mid-late 90s are unreliable and won’t last more than a couple formats before developing bad sectors. I’m not sure why this is, maybe the disk factories stopped maintaining their machinery when sales stopped growing. New old stock disks from the early-mid 90s are definitely the way to go IMO.
