Floppy Disk (3.5", Hd)
A 3.5-inch high-density floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium used for data storage and transfer, typically holding up to 1.44 MB of data.
History/Origin
Introduced in the late 1980s, the 3.5-inch HD floppy disk became a standard for portable data storage, replacing earlier 5.25-inch disks. It was widely used until the rise of USB drives and cloud storage in the early 2000s.
Current Use
Modern usage of 3.5-inch HD floppy disks is virtually obsolete, limited to archival purposes, vintage computing, and collectors' items. They are rarely used in contemporary data storage solutions.
Terabit
A terabit (Tb) is a unit of digital information equal to one trillion bits (10^12 bits).
History/Origin
The term 'terabit' was introduced as digital storage and data transfer rates increased, following the adoption of the metric system for data units. It became common in networking and high-capacity storage contexts during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Terabits are used to measure data transfer speeds in high-speed networks, internet bandwidth, and large-scale data storage systems, especially in contexts requiring rapid data transmission and large capacity assessments.
