What may be the most powerful storage medium the Humans have ever produced.
A floppy disk is a human portable data storage device, using a magnetized disc inside of a plastic casing to store data in magnetic form. In the case of human computers, this is usually in binary code. How exquisitely crude of them.
Floppy disks come in several forms, specified by width:
- 3.5 inches; these flop little, having a fairly rigid case.
- 5 ¼ inches, encased in flexible plastic, as seen at right.
- 8 inches, from the days when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Chip Chase can tear a floppy disk in half with his bare hands. Roll for It
...Or maybe not.
One 5¼″ floppy disk can hold the entire personality and memories of Optimus Prime. Afterdeath! It can interface easily with alien technology to allow said personality and memories to be inserted into a new body. Albeit that you need a genius to do it. People Power!
What appeared to be a gigantic floppy disk was also used by Fortress Maximus to store data on the Master Sword when he was forced to hand the data over to the Decepticons. The Master Sword Is in Danger!!
