Current Use

Modern usage of 3.5-inch HD floppy disks is virtually obsolete, limited to archival purposes, vintage computing, and collectors' items. They are rarely used in contemporary data storage solutions.


Megabit

A megabit (Mb) is a unit of digital information equal to one million bits, commonly used to measure data transfer speeds and network bandwidth.

History/Origin

The term 'megabit' emerged with the development of digital communication and data storage technologies in the late 20th century, becoming standard for describing internet speeds and data rates.

Current Use

Megabits are widely used today to specify internet connection speeds, network bandwidth, and data transfer rates in telecommunications and networking contexts.
