100 gb.
DVD by far. A DVD can store 4.7 gigabytes of data. A floppy disk can store 1.44 megabytes of data. 1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte.
A standard 3.5" floppy disk holds significantly less than a gigabyte. As a fraction, a floppy holds about 1/711 of a gigabyte.
DVD by far. A DVD can store 4.7 gigabytes of data. A floppy disk can store 1.44 megabytes of data. 1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte. i would like to know why?????????????????
It would take around a Thousand Floppy's to hold 1 gigabyte of info
A floppy disk DRIVE can read, erase and save information on a floppy disk. The disk can't do it by himself.
Floppy Disk - 144 MB CD-R - 700 MB DVD-R - 4.7 GB Hard Disk - Up to 10 TB
Mainly lack of capacity. A floppy disk is usually 1.44 MB. Modern flash drives, hard drives, etc. are in the gigabytes and terabytes ! You can still use a floppy drive (I have a USB external floppy drive), but it will become more difficult to get new floppy disks as manufacturers abandon a rather antiquated media.
Zip disks can hold 100 megabytes. Today's hard drives usually hold 250 gigabytes, smaller ones are around 100 gigabytes, and large ones are upwards of 500 gigabytes. One gigabyte is 1000 megabytes, so the typical hard drive can hold 2,500 times more than a zip disk. To answer the question in one word, no.
Tape (up to 800GB, ex. DAT 160), DVD (4.7 - 17.08 GB), CD (up to 700MB) , Floppy Disk (ave. 1.44MB)
A USB flash drive is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated Universal Serial Bus interface. As of September 2011, drives of up to 256 gigabytes (GB) are available, while the floppy disk is around 8MB.
You would need 729 floppy disks to hold 1GB of data. This is because:1 gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes1 floppy disk can hold 1,474,560 bytesSo floppy disks per gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 divided by 1,474,560, which is 728.18 disks. This means you would need 729 disks to hold the full 1GB.
