There have been several different types of disks that have been called "floppy"
1.44 megabytes could be stored on the most recent (3 1/2") floppies which were encased in hard plastic.
Earlier there were both 5 1/4" and 8" floppies these had a smaller capacities, for example of 360 Kb or 140 Kb respectively

The typical storage capacity of a floppy disk is 1.44 MB.

How much data can a 8 inch floppy disk hold?
The highest density 8 inch floppy can hold a little over 1.2 MB. The smallest density 8 inch floppy can hold 80 KB.

How much do a floppy disk drive cost?
Floppy disks are seldom sold individually. Depending on the bulk number you purchase, the price per floppy is generally $0.75 to $1.00 USD.
Why won't a floppy disk be ideal for the latest model computer?
The floppy disk is obsolete. The CD has a much larger data capacity and is also more reliable, and the memory stick has an even larger data capacity than the CD.
How did the word CD come about?
CD = compact disk. As opposed to large floppy disks. A disk because it's round. Compact because it'll hold so much more data than a floppy.
How much data will A high density (HD. floppy disk hold?
no one uses floopy disks anymore
How much storage does a floppy disk hold?
The capacity of the most ubiquitous floppy is 1.44 MB. Floppies in other capacities have also been made.
How much does a 3.5 floppy disk hold?
A standard 3.5" floppy disk holds significantly less than a gigabyte. As a fraction, a floppy holds about 1/711 of a gigabyte.
How much MB of data can be stored in a floppy disc?
It depends...when you see a hot girl... Your floppy disk might turn into a hard drive which is really big, but then it depends :)
How much does a floppy diskette weigh?
A 3.5" floppy disk weighs about 20 grams
What is the disadvantages of a floppy disc?
the disadvantage is you cannot hold as much memory on a floppy as a CD or if your into music,gaming,etc.. then you defiently wanna use CD has more space can hold bigger more graphic files then any floppy could that's my opinion on the situation but Floppys don't break easily you don't have to worry about them getting scratched
How many data can a floppy disc hold?
It depends on a few factors. The size of floppy disk and the size of the CD-ROM. Floppy disks aren't use very much today, however the latest and most common generation of floppy disks was the 3.5 inch variety with a capacity of 1.44 megabytes of storage. There was a rare 2.88 capacity disk, however for this answer I will refer to the common 1.44MB disk. CD-ROM's are typically 680 megabytes. There are some CDs that hold 700MB, but again the typical disk is 680MB. Mathematically, this yields 472 floppies per CD. Differences in file sizes and/or block space may shift this slightly. It's safe to say that a CD can hold 450-470 floppies.
