It would take around a Thousand Floppy's to hold 1 gigabyte of info
DVD by far. A DVD can store 4.7 gigabytes of data. A floppy disk can store 1.44 megabytes of data. 1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte.

No, a standard 3.5-inch floppy disk can hold only up to 1.44 megabytes of data. To store an entire gigabyte, which is 1,024 megabytes, you would need approximately 714 floppy disks. This makes floppy disks inadequate for handling large volumes of data compared to modern storage solutions.
Formatting prepares a floppy disk to store data
Floppy disks use magnetic disk to store the data.
A magnetic disk storage device with more capacity than a floppy disk is typically a hard disk drive (HDD). Unlike floppy disks, which generally hold 1.44 MB, HDDs can store vast amounts of data, often ranging from hundreds of gigabytes to several terabytes. They use magnetic storage to read and write data on rotating disks, making them suitable for storing large files and applications.
Mainly lack of capacity. A floppy disk is usually 1.44 MB. Modern flash drives, hard drives, etc. are in the gigabytes and terabytes ! You can still use a floppy drive (I have a USB external floppy drive), but it will become more difficult to get new floppy disks as manufacturers abandon a rather antiquated media.
A 5.25-inch floppy disk typically has a storage capacity of 360 KB to 1.2 MB, depending on the specific format used. The most common version, the double-sided, double-density (DSDD) disk, can store 360 KB, while the high-density (DSHD) version can hold up to 1.2 MB. These capacities are significantly lower than modern storage media, which can hold gigabytes or terabytes of data.
100 gb.
Formatted
Its called a floppy disk.
A USB flash drive is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated Universal Serial Bus interface. As of September 2011, drives of up to 256 gigabytes (GB) are available, while the floppy disk is around 8MB.
