Floppies were the most ubiquitous storage device for a while so it's no surprise. Nowadays it could be a few USB type A ports. We're slowly switching to USB type C but type A has now been standard for around two decades.

Cloud storage and using web based software has pretty much made any kind of physical storage redundant for most people.
