The tracks on a floppy disk are arranged in concentric circles from the center outwards. The read-write heads can therefore jump from track 1 to say 10 without moving through the tracks in between.

How do you calculate the capacity of a floppy disk?

To calculate the capacity of a floppy disk, you need to know its specifications, including the number of sectors, the size of each sector, and the number of tracks. The formula is: Capacity = Number of Tracks × Number of Sectors per Track × Size of Each Sector. For example, a standard 3.5-inch floppy disk typically has 80 tracks, 18 sectors per track, and a sector size of 512 bytes, resulting in a capacity of approximately 1.44 MB.


How many sectors are on a 1.44 floppy disk?

A standard 1.44 MB floppy disk has 80 tracks per side, with each track containing 18 sectors. This results in a total of 1,440 sectors per disk (80 tracks x 18 sectors per track). Each sector typically holds 512 bytes of data.


does a floppy disk hold information?
