FLOPPY DISK/HARD DISK |
Floppy disks have just about disappeared from the computer world, but even when they were common it was only in the early years that they were literally floppy. The fact that a 3 1/2"
diskette is enclosed in a hard plastic case should not lead you to call
it a “hard disk.” That’s a high-capacity storage medium like the main
disk inside your computer on which your programs, operating system, and
data are stored.
