floppy disk drives
Magnetic media hardware
Floppy disk drives are devices that read and write data to floppy disks—thin, flexible magnetic storage media housed in protective casings.
Standard from the 1970s through the 1990s, they were essential for transferring files and installing software before USB drives and network storage made them obsolete.
The old computer still has a floppy disk drive.
