The number of formats out there and the encoding thereof are quite
numerous. Just ask one of your friends with a Brother word processor
that uses 240K 3.5" floppies...
If you can accept Catweasel-type snapshots taken at 28MHz, I can
shove you a few of the more interesting ones.

ST412, or ST506-interface Winchester hard drives (with
adapter board). So that'll be basically all the 20-year-old heavy
iron that doesn't have a DEC sticker on it :)
25 years, maybe.
20 years would have to include "RLL" and ESDI (RLL has same cabling
as ST412, but different encoding and data-rates? , ESDI cabling looks
the same but has signal differences)
