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.
Floppy Disk (3.5", Dd)
A 3.5-inch double-density floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium used for data storage and transfer, characterized by its 3.5-inch physical size and double-density recording capacity.
History/Origin
Introduced in the late 1980s, the 3.5-inch double-density floppy disk became a popular data storage medium due to its compact size and improved capacity over earlier floppy disks. It was widely used throughout the 1990s and early 2000s before being phased out by more advanced storage technologies.
Current Use
Today, the 3.5-inch double-density floppy disk is largely obsolete, with minimal use primarily in legacy systems, data recovery, or nostalgic collections. Modern data storage relies on USB drives, external hard drives, and cloud storage solutions.
