Floppy Disks The floppy disk was sold for the first time by IBM in 1971. You can still find it as an icon on almost every computer, because it now means to save. These disks were first used to store files and move them from one computer to another. They were used long before CDs, USBs, and online space. The first floppy disk could only hold 80 kilobytes. Today, most files are a lot bigger than that. You need to be very careful with these disks, because if it is damaged , all files can be lost.
