I remember A: being a floppy drive, but I never thought of hard being the opposite of floppy, lol

The disks inside the metal box is the hard drive, 3.5 disks were hard enough but the disks themselves were floppy

Both disks inside are “floppy”. It’s just a magnetic sheet.

“floppy” disks got their name from where they were floppy entirely, in their 8-inch then 5.25-inch form. That was before the hard shell 3.5-inch that you are remembering.

Hard disk drive? Not sure what you are aiming at here
