I'm about the same here. I should really order a USB 3.5" drive to get the last data off them this year.

I got one about a decade ago as a just in case... it's in my garage somewhere, still in the box.

Doesn't the magnetic data on the disks fade over that time scale?

Dunno... I don't actually have any 3.5" media... but got one because back then, I was more inclined to help people with things.
