Best Answer

Magnetic Disks, otherwise known as 'Floppy disks'.

The last generation of these disks were 3 1/2" and used a ridgid plastic case, to contain the magnetic disk within. Not very floppy.

The early versions were 7" and 5" and were contained in soft plastic outer sleeves. These were actually floppy.
