how many inches was the first floppy disk
The first floppy drives used an 8-inch disk, which evolved into the 5.25-inch disk that was used on the first IBM Personal Computer in August 1981.

By mid-1980s, the improved designs of the read/write heads, along with improvements in the magnetic recording media, created the less-flexible, 3.5-inch,1.44-megabyte capacity FDD in use today.
