Dvd (2 Layer, 1 Side)
A DVD (2 layer, 1 side) is a digital optical disc storage format capable of storing approximately 8.5 GB of data, utilizing two layers on a single side for increased capacity.
History/Origin
The DVD format was developed in the late 1990s as a successor to the CD, introduced to provide higher storage capacity for video, data, and software. The 2-layer, 1-side configuration became popular for offering larger storage while maintaining compatibility with existing DVD players.
Current Use
Today, 2-layer, 1-side DVDs are used for storing and distributing high-definition video content, large software applications, backups, and archival data, although their usage has declined with the rise of digital downloads and cloud storage.
Floppy Disk (5.25", Dd)
A 5.25-inch double-density floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium used for data storage and transfer in computers, typically holding up to 1.2 MB of data.
History/Origin
Introduced in the late 1970s, the 5.25-inch floppy disk became widely popular in the 1980s as a portable storage medium before being phased out in favor of higher-capacity and more durable storage solutions in the 1990s.
Current Use
Today, the 5.25-inch floppy disk is obsolete, with minimal use primarily in archival or legacy systems; it is mostly of historical interest and collector's value.
