The 3.5" floppy disk is defunkt now, it is rarely if ever used, so to be able to procure one would be hard and then finding a new computer on which to use it would be difficult. If a floppy disk drive is available the volume of information that can be stored on it is minimal. A floppy disk can store around 1.44Mb wheras a conventional CD can store from 600 - 800Mb.

Can data be stored on both sides of a floppy disk?
Modern 3.5" floppy disks were/are double sided. Earlier 5.25" floppy disks started out single sided but you could cut out a read only slot and flip them over and use both sides, no guarantees though. Even earlier 8" floppy disks were also single sided but could likewise be cut and flipped over. This is from my own experience not from research.
