Capacities varied from 180 KB to 1.44 MB. Contrary to logic, the capacity increased as the size decreased. Floppy disks were invented by IBM and were the most popular form of data storage and exchange during the 80s and 90s. Eventually, file and program sizes exceeded the floppy's capacity, and they were replaced with CDs, USB keys, and other removable media. The most popular sizes were the 8 inch, 5 1/4 inch, and finally the 3 1/2 inch.born digitaldigital photographscomputer storageFloppy disksImage
