David Noble created the first floppy disk that had the ability to save information on it in 1969. It was an 8-inch floppy disk and held 175 kilo-bytes (KB) of information.
By 1976, Shugart Associates produced a compact diskette that was 5.25-inches long and supported by a carrying capacity of 360 kilo-bytes. Near the end of the 1980s, a 3.5-inch floppy disk was released; this floppy disk would become the image that people think of today when the now ancient 'floppy disk' is used.
