Yes. It is about as incorrect as the 3.5" Floppy used in Save Icon which most haven't seen one for the past 20 years.

And Child would ask their mum and dad why have they 3D Printed the Save Icon. ( And this is not a Joke )




Nowadays, you could probably make an SSD that looks like an old 3’’ floppy. Might get a bit hot (because of very little airflow and thermal paste) but it could carry plenty of chips/terabytes, in all that space. Add a protected USB-C socket, and at the other end a flexible dock-attachment (like the Nintendo Switch) that looks like an old drive, and you’d have a very retro-looking removable-storage system you can point the kids at.
