You should check out zip disks. Floppies could only hold 1.5 mb of data, but zip disks started out at 100 mb and ended up being able to hold upwards of 650 mb.
Only the cool kids had those (lol), but they don't get a whole lot of recognition.
If you want some really wild old storage tech, a normal VHS cassette could hold 3-5gb of data. But we didn't have any use for that much storage at the time, and CDs were taking over by the time we did, so nobody bought the VHS storage hardware.
I'm too young for floppies, never used em
I will however be personally offended if they change the universal save icon
