Flash Drive
The invention of the USB Flash drive revolutionized portable data storage. Prior to it, data was stored on CDs that could store 200 MB of data max but weren't widely available on personal computers, or floppy disks which could store 2.8 MB. Both mediums were at their capacity for how much data they could store. Early Flash Drives could store 8MB, were significantly easier to write on, and were much more portable. Most importantly, they scaled - modern Flashdrives can carry 2 TB of data. -
