Where I was it went from 3.5" floppies to USB drives. (There were CDs, but not as easy for things like schoolwork.)

ZIP needed a whole ecosystem of drives, so did you have that?

    My first computer, a Commodore 64, was purchased with a tape drive because we were too broke for a 1541 5.25" disk drive.

    I could start a game loading, go eat dinner, come back and it would just be getting around to being done loading.
