One interesting tidbit about the computer in #StarTrekTOS is that it doesn't seem to keep everything in built-in storage.
Instead, everything is stored on microtape, a colorful little tile with about the proportions of a 3½ floppy disk, that the user has to insert by hand as needed.
Contrast #StarTrekTNG, where storage is on chips that are generally left inserted in slots behind a maintenance panel, somewhat like PCIe SSDs.
