no one uses floopy disks anymore
Blu-Rays can hold up to a maximum of 50GB, which is 5 times more data than a DVD can hold
whats a stiffy disk
Blu-Rays can hold up to a maximum of 50 GB of data, which is 5 times more data than a DVD can hold at a maximum
The highest density 8 inch floppy can hold a little over 1.2 MB. The smallest density 8 inch floppy can hold 80 KB.
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.
4.7GB on a standard DVD - can be a duel layer disk (double sided) which holds 9.4GB
Each side can hold a maximum of 50GB, so a double-sided can hold up to 100GB, but there haven't been any double-sided Blu-Rays yet
CDs and DVDs share the same physical format but the DVD stores more data that a CD. It does this a much finer set of optical tracks on the disc than the CD has. In a similar way, Bluray discs hold far more data than a DVD.
