No. Floppy disks have the lowest storage capacity of any mainstream storage device. Hard drives, CDs, DVDs, and Flash drives all hold far more data than a standard floppy disk. Even when they first came out, hard drives and tape reels held more data (though they also cost far more).

What is the capacity of the floppy disks?
The most common ones most people are familiar with were 1.44MB, but there were many sizes of "floppy disk" from about a hundred kilobytes to a couple hundred megabytes. Nowadays, the answer is 1.44 for a double sided high density 3.5" floppy disk. This answer is quite different for other types of floppy disks. There are single sided, double sided, single density, double density, high density , 5.25", 3.5", and 8" floppy disks just to name a few of the many, MANY variations. * low density capacity: 360 kbytes * hi density capacity : 720 kbytes * double hi density: 1.44 megabytes There are other (rare) formats that can hold more.
Can you store photos on floppy disks?
Yes. Many of the first digital cameras stored their photos on floppy disks. A floppy disk may not be able to store a very high resolution image, however.
What is the capacity of supercomputer floppy?
Supercomputers do not usually use any type of floppy disk, they usually use custom made high data rate hard disks and tape drives.Modern supercomputers would typically use a RAID system of multiple disks providing a high reliability high data rate facility that looked to the computer's OS like a single drive with a capacity of several petabytes (or possibly exabytes by the time you read this).
High-density floppy disk has a storage capacity of?
The floppy disk which is commonly referred to as a high density floppy disk is a 3.5 inch disk. It has a storage capacity of 1.44 MB.
What is the difference between a Zip disk and a Floppy disk?
A Zip disk and a floppy disk are both types of removable storage media, but they have several key differences. Zip disks have a higher storage capacity than floppy disks, typically ranging from 100MB to 750MB compared to the 1.44MB capacity of a floppy disk. Zip disks also use a different type of magnetic storage technology, which allows for faster data transfer speeds and more reliable data storage. Additionally, Zip disks are physically larger in size compared to floppy disks, which were more commonly used in the past for smaller data storage needs.
How much data will A high density (HD. floppy disk hold?
no one uses floopy disks anymore
What are the differences between a floppy diskette and a high capacity disk?
Magnetic storage has come a long way since 1967 when IBM developed the 8-inch floppy disk. However, I assume you are referring to the 5 1/4 floppy that came out in 1976 and the 3 1/2 high-density disk that came out in 1987. The three major differences between these two disks are the physical size, the storage size, and the speed. The 3 1/2 disks were much quicker, smaller in size, and held more data.
Is it true that a DVD-ROM is a high capacity optical disc?
Yes. Although there are more high capacity disks out there.
What has a storage capacity of 1.44 MB?
A standard high density double-sided floppy disk holds about 1.44 mb.
What is the formatted capacity of high-density 312 g floppy diskettes?
1.44 MB
Floppy drive access only one half of the space the disk?
Most likely, you are confusing a 1.44 MB (HD) floppy disk with an even older 720 KB (DD) disk. These had only half the capacity, but are otherwise functionally identical. These disks can be distinguished by their lacking a hole on the lower right-hand side that newer floppy disks do. It is also possible that your BIOS is set up incorrectly so that the drive operates as a double-density drive instead of the correct high-density drive.
What is the capacity of an extra-high density floppy disk?
4mb unformatted, 2.88mb formatted (depending on format, of course). Toshiba made a model PMF-2ED "4MB Extra High Density" also marked "ED". Here is a picture of one: http://www.zimmers.net/tmpsampleeddisk.jpg (I'm fixing to auction 110 of them, so I googled around to find out how common they were).
