As an ancient person who grew up during the transition from actually floppy 5.25 inch disks to rigid 3.5 disks, it really bothers me that the hard ones are called “floppy.”

I know it’s about the innards still being flexible inside the plastic shell, but I grew up calling those (save icon ones) hard disks to distinguish them from the floppy ones.

For the confused:

I’m confused. Those all look equally hard to me

(Also, I was born in 2009)

It might help to take a closer look at the height of each disk casing to guess why two are called floppy and one hard.
