Floppy Disk

Detailed explanation-1: -In a standard three and a half-inch disk could store merely 1.44 Megabytes of data. This disk is termed as floppy disk because it is flexible in nature.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first 8-inch floppy disk had a storage capacity of about 80 kilobytes. By 1986, IBM introduced the 3-1/2 inch floppy disk with 1.44 megabytes of storage space. This may seem like very little now, but at the time it was hard to imagine needing more space than that.
Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is Byte. A byte is the smallest measure of storage among the given options.
Detailed explanation-4: -A typical floppy disk can store up to 1.4 megabytes of data. Data can be read at rates of several hundred bits per second, but first the disk must be accelerated up to full speed (360 r.p.m.), and the magnetic head moved to the correct track and sector.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hence, the Device having the largest storage capacity is Hard Disk.
