What is another word for flexible disks?
Pronunciation: [flˈɛksɪbə͡l dˈɪsks] (IPA) 
Flexible disks, also known as floppy disks, had their heyday in the 1980s and 90s. However, as technology advanced, so did the need for faster storage solutions. Synonyms for flexible disks include 3.5-inch disks, floppy disks, and diskettes. Additionally, terms like magnetic disks, storage media, or portable disks can be used to describe similar technologies. With the advent of cloud computing and USB drives, the need for flexible disks has become largely obsolete. However, some people still use these synonyms to describe similar storage solutions that have since surpassed the capacity and speed of the original flexible disks. Despite their decline, flexible disks still hold a special place in the history of computing.
