Trek Technology and IBM began selling the first USB flash drives commercially in 2000. The Singaporean Trek Technology sold a model under the brand name ThumbDrive , and IBM marketed the first such drives in North America with its product named the DiskOnKey which was developed and manufactured by the Israeli company M-Systems.[citation needed] IBM's USB flash drive became available on December 15, 2000,[5] and had a storage capacity of 8 MB, more than five times the capacity of the then-common floppy disks.
Floppy disk drives are rarely fitted to modern computers and are obsolete for normal purposes, although internal and external drives can be fitted if required. Floppy disks may be the method of choice for transferring data to and from very old computers without USB or booting from floppy disks, and so they are sometimes used to change the firmware on, for example, BIOS chips. Devices with removable storage like older Yamaha music keyboards are also dependent on floppy disks, which require computers to process them. Newer devices are built with USB flash drive support.
