I don’t even use a file system on my storage drives. I just write the file contents raw and try to memorize where.

Sounds tedious, I've just been keeping everything in memory so I don't have to worry about where it is.

Sounds inefficient. You can only store 8 gigs and goes away when you shut off your computer? I just put it on punch cards and feed it into my machine.
