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

Difference between hard disk and flash memory?
A Floppy Disc (by definition) holds a maximum of 1.44 MegaBytes (1,440,000 Bytes) of data whereas a flash drive starts at 500 MegaBytes 500,000,000 and can hold as much as 8,000 MegaBytes 8,000,000,000 (8GB) of data. ... SIZE .. DOES .. MATTER. :-)
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.
How much memory does a 2gb memory card hold?
Not much on anything, but that depends on what you are using.
