From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   removable disk
  
      A type of {magnetic disk}, or possibly
      {magneto-optical disk} which is not permanently attached to
      the {disk drive} (not a {fixed disk}) but which can be taken
      out and replaced, allowing many disks to be used in the same
      drive.
  
      {Floppy disks} are removable disks but the term is not
      commonly used for them but mostly for {hard disks} in suitable
      cartridges such as those made by {Syquest}, {Iomega} and
      others.
  
      Removable disks have become popular on {microcomputers} in the
      1990s since they offer a cheap way of expanding disk space,
      transporting large amounts of data between computers and
      storing back-ups.   The concept is not new however, removable
      disk packs were common on {minicomputers} such as the {PDP-11}
      in use in the 1970s except that the drives were the size of
      {washing machines} and the disk packs as big as car wheels.
