The good old floppy diskette that has been the universal data saving device years ago is already phased out. Though some stores still sell the floppy disk, these are normally the old stocks and store owners just want to get rid of them. In some computer shops, their computers do not anymore have the floppy drive; rather, you’ll see hollow rectangular plugs all over the CPU. What you see are the USB ports. These ports have a lot of uses as you can attach different kinds of additional devices such as external hard drives.
One example of an external hard drive is that of the USB flash drive. This device replaced the floppy disk, and people prefer using it since the drive’s capacity can reach up to 8GB (compared to the 1.24MB capacity of the floppy).
