I have worked in the print trade for years
I have seen all sorts of storage devices over the years

mag tapes
syquest optical disk drives
zip disks
Jazz drives and the disks to use in them
writable cd and dvd's
usb flash drives
and now the sorcery that is the 1 and 2tb external/internal hard drives

My pal who i sit opposite at work still uses 3.5 inch diskettes !!!!!
i berate him daily but trying to make him move on is like pissing in the wind.

I was a litho printer...
...from about 1980 until 1998. I was at a print shop recently and was staggered by the changes in print technology. All the pre-press and printing skills I used to pride myself on are long gone.
It made me feel as ancient as I truly am!

I still have a Syquest drive
It works, and I occasionally use it!

Floppies
Found this article quite interesting, seems they are still used in many professions because the software/hardware has never been upgraded:
