Pretty harsh to the compact disc don't you think?
You don't save to a CD, you burn it
You could to a CD-RW, kind of.
CD wasn't even the last physical media that was adopted widely. Technically I think that may be thumbdrives for now, but there were some tape and disc shaped, but high density for the time (like 20MB to 100MB for the disk shaped one, and 1GB to 2GB tapes.) and named something I don't remember, media options that were created in the late '90s early '00s before thumbdrives became a thing.
What about MicroSD? Still being put on game consoles and smartphones to this day.
True that. I tend to lump them in with thumbdrives.
Zip disk/zip drive? wiki link

Zip drive?
