I would say that Thumb/Flash USB drives were what replaced the Floppy Drive, they have an advantage over the Floppy for being able to transport more data in a safer way.
data storage devices
They can hold more data than floppy disks and computers aren't really made with floppy disk entrances :)
Floppy drivers refer to the hardware and software components that enable a computer to read from and write to floppy disks, which are removable storage media. Floppy disks were widely used in the past for data transfer and storage but have largely been replaced by USB drives and other forms of digital storage. The floppy driver itself includes the physical drive mechanism and the necessary drivers that interface with the operating system. Today, floppy drives are mostly considered obsolete, but they may still be found in some legacy systems.
Floppy disks have largely been replaced by USB flash drives, external hard drives, and cloud storage services as portable memory storage devices. USB drives offer higher storage capacities, faster data transfer speeds, and greater durability compared to floppy disks. Additionally, cloud storage solutions provide easy access to files from anywhere with an internet connection, making them a popular choice for data storage and sharing.
The biggest disadvantage is that it has very little storage capacity. The maximum storage capacity of a (last generation) floppy disk is around 240 megabytes. A USB stick, CD, or DVD-ROM can all hold much more than this. Secondly, fewer and fewer computer termnials are being manufactured with floppy disk drives, since they have been replaced by other storage methods. This means it is hard to get your data off the disk. Thirdly, floppy disks are more easily corruptible than other methods of data storage.
The standard storage for the 3-1/2" floppy is 1.44 MB
The floppy disk which is commonly referred to as a high density floppy disk is a 3.5 inch disk. It has a storage capacity of 1.44 MB.
Tape, DVD, CD, Floppy Disk
Floppy drive was the first storage with portable data storage capacity.. However the data storing capacity of floppy drive is not enough but in early days it helped a lot..
data storage
Floppy disks use magnetic disk to store the data.
The maximum storage capacity of a floppy disk that uses the 64kb keyword is 64 kilobytes.
