Floppy Disk

Floppy Disk a portable magnetic storage disk, the term is somewhat of a misnomer.
The 5 1/4 inch storage disk used in early model PCs was flexible, thus called a
floppy disk. Today, the most common portable disk still called a floppy is the 3
1/2 inch variety. Unlike the earlier 5 1/4 inch version, the 3 1/2 inch floppy is
rigid, but the name floppy has managed to stick. Floppy disks usually store 1.44
