Floppy Disk (3.5", Dd)
A 3.5-inch double-density floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium used for data storage and transfer, characterized by its 3.5-inch physical size and double-density recording capacity.
History/Origin
Introduced in the late 1980s, the 3.5-inch double-density floppy disk became a popular data storage medium due to its compact size and improved capacity over earlier floppy disks. It was widely used throughout the 1990s and early 2000s before being phased out by more advanced storage technologies.
Current Use
Today, the 3.5-inch double-density floppy disk is largely obsolete, with minimal use primarily in legacy systems, data recovery, or nostalgic collections. Modern data storage relies on USB drives, external hard drives, and cloud storage solutions.
Exabyte
An exabyte (EB) is a unit of digital information equal to one quintillion bytes (10^18 bytes).
History/Origin
The exabyte was introduced as data storage capacities increased, serving as a large-scale unit to measure vast amounts of data, especially in data centers and cloud storage, during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Exabytes are used to quantify large-scale data storage and transfer, such as global internet traffic, data centers, and cloud storage capacities in modern digital infrastructure.
