Floppy disk

Floppy disks or diskettes are a removable storage medium in which data is recorded onto a flexible magnetic surface.

Early MacroMind and Macromedia software were delivered on floppies, favoring the 3&frac12;-inch version developed by and first adopted by Apple Computer's early Macintosh line. As CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs became more popular physical media formats, Sony ended production of 3&frac12;" floppy disks in April 2010.
