3.5 Inch

Bro, we have a set of floppy disks in the mail room at work:

My dear Millennial friends, do you remember having “2 floppy disks” as an item on your back-to-school list for junior high? We had that. I remember those colorful transparent ones were sold in like packs of five or ten. I also remember how we played fast and loose with our data by pinging that metal covering back and forth and trying to touch the disc inside.

Y’know, ‘cause we could store an ENTIRE WORD DOCUMENT on there.

Fun times. It’s wild that we have little tiny flash drives that can now hold terabytes of data.
