Floppy Disk (5.25", Dd)
A 5.25-inch double-density floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium used for data storage and transfer in computers, typically holding up to 1.2 MB of data.
History/Origin
Introduced in the late 1970s, the 5.25-inch floppy disk became widely popular in the 1980s as a portable storage medium before being phased out in favor of higher-capacity and more durable storage solutions in the 1990s.
Current Use
Today, the 5.25-inch floppy disk is obsolete, with minimal use primarily in archival or legacy systems; it is mostly of historical interest and collector's value.
Terabit
A terabit (Tb) is a unit of digital information equal to one trillion bits (10^12 bits).
History/Origin
The term 'terabit' was introduced as digital storage and data transfer rates increased, following the adoption of the metric system for data units. It became common in networking and high-capacity storage contexts during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Terabits are used to measure data transfer speeds in high-speed networks, internet bandwidth, and large-scale data storage systems, especially in contexts requiring rapid data transmission and large capacity assessments.
