- A floppy disk is a data storage medium that is composed of a disk of thin, flexible ("floppy") magnetic storage medium encased in a square or rectangular plastic shell. Floppy disks are read and written by a floppy disk drive or FDD. Invented by IBM, floppy disks in 8-inch (200 mm), 5¼-inch (133⅓ mm), and the newest and most common 3½-inch (90 mm) formats enjoyed many years as a popular and ubiquitous form of data storage and exchange, from the mid-1970s to the late 1990s. However, they have now been largely superseded by flash and optical storage devices while e-mail has become the preferred method of exchanging small to medium size digital files.

- Floppy disks come in several forms, specified by width:

Although standard 3.5" floppy disks hold 1.44MB (with one IBM-manufactured type capable of 2.88MB), they have been long-superseded by other storage media. The format technically lives on, as computer software is able to emulate this medium's parameters. PC and Laptop manufacturers have long since stopped including Floppy Disk Drives with their unit, although the drives themselves continue to be available, both in IDE and USB varieties.
