    Floppy Drives

    Floppy drives are legacy storage devices that were once the standard for data transfer, software installation, and system booting. The drives read and write data to removable floppy disks, usually in 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch sizes. Even though they are mostly outdated now, floppy drives are still used in some legacy systems, industrial equipment, embedded systems, and archival functions where older formats are required.
