What are FloppyDisk and DVD

A Floppy Disk, often recognized as a magnetic storage medium, was widely used from the late 20th century for data storage and transfer. Typically, it comprises a thin and flexible magnetic disk enclosed in a square or rectangular plastic shell. The 5.25-inch floppy disk, particularly the double-density (DD) version, offered storage capacities ranging from 360 KB to 1.2 MB. Renowned for its portability, it played a crucial role in personal computing before optical media and USB drives became prevalent. Although largely obsolete today, floppy disks remain a symbol of early computer technology and innovation.

A DVD, or Digital Versatile Disc, represents an optical disc storage format that surpassed the capabilities of earlier storage like CDs. Introduced in the mid-1990s, DVDs are capable of holding up to 4.7 GB on a single-layer disc and 8.5 GB on a dual-layer disc. The two-sided, two-layer variant doubles this capacity. DVDs revolutionized the media industry by offering superior video and audio quality, making them popular for movies and software distribution. They are read using a laser, and their compact size and increased storage capacity have made them a durable option for data preservation.
