Computers made today generally do not have any floppy drives at all. PCs traditionally had 2 floppy drives (A: and B:) but might have only one of these. The original Mac had 1 floppy drive. Early microcomputers could frequently have as many as 4 floppy drives. (I had one with this capability but I never connected more than 3 floppy drives, these were 8 inch double sided double density drives).
Most modern computers do not have any floppy drives at all. Ones made before 2001 generally had one. Two floppy drives was common only in very old computers with no fixed storage device.

You would need 729 floppy disks to hold 1GB of data. This is because:1 gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes1 floppy disk can hold 1,474,560 bytesSo floppy disks per gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 divided by 1,474,560, which is 728.18 disks. This means you would need 729 disks to hold the full 1GB.
Some are, not many however.
A standard 3.5-inch floppy disk has a capacity of 1.44 megabytes. To convert 1 terabyte (1,000,000 megabytes) to floppy disks, you would divide 1,000,000 by 1.44, which equals approximately 694,444 floppy disks. Therefore, it would take around 694,444 3.5 floppy disks to equal 1 terabyte of data.
Normally a floppy drive interface can be used to connect two floppy disk drives. However this may vary from system to system, some systems may also have two interfaces. It may be necessary to purchase a floppy drive cable with two connection headers.
Many newer systems don't have any ribbon cables at all. Ribbon cables were used for IDE drives, SCSI drives, and floppy drives. The number of cables will depend on the number of drives in the system (16 drives per SCSI cable, 2 per IDE cable, and 2 per floppy cable).

24. That's with A: and B: reserved for the floppy drives. 26 might be possible if you disable the floppy controller in the system.
The only floppy drive system commercially available today is the 3.5" floppy disk drive. Previously there were both 5.25" and 8.00" disks/drives also available for PC's.
