USB is a standardized bus for connecting exernal peripherals (printers, scanners, keyboards, mice, flash drives, hard drives, etc...) to a computer. A floppy disk drive is an outdated method of storing data. It uses a thin sheet of coated plastic, usually inside a firmer plastic shell, to store data.

Plus, floppy disks are a one time use and USB drives can be used over and over again. You can delete and save multiple things on USBs, create folders to organize them and hold so much more stuff as opposed to a single floppy disk.
