How many characters can an average floppy disk hold?
A standard floppy disk (those still found today) is 1.44MB in size. There's 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte, and 1024 bytes in a kilobyte. If the size was exact usable space, it would be 1.44 * 1024 * 1024, which is 1509949 bytes. Since it's not the usable size, the USABLE size of a floppy is 1440 * 1024, or 1474560 bytes. Each ASCII character is one byte, so a floppy can hold many characters.
How many megabytes has a floppy disk?
The capacity of a disk depends on its type. You're probably thinking about a standard 3½" floppy disk. It holds 1440*1024 bytes, which equals 1474560 bytes. For other capacities, look below
How large is each sector on a floppy drive?
512 bytes
How many bytes of data can be stored in 1.44 MB floppy?
If kB = 1000 bytes, and a "1.44 MB" disk actually holds 1.44 × 1024 × 1000 = 1,474,560 bytes, then 983 files can fit.
How many bytes are in 144 megabytes?
Technically, there would be 1.44 × 1000 × 1000 = 1,440,000 bytes in 1.44 megabytes. However, the "1.44 MB" floppy disk was actually mislabeled. It actually held 1.44 x 1000 KiB = 1.44 x 1000 x 1024 bytes = 1,474,560 bytes
A floppy drive is divided into tracks which are divided into sector how large is sector?
512 bytes
If a floppy drive is divided into tracks which are divided into sectors How large is each sector?
512 bytes of data
When was the SDSS floppy disk introduced?
IBM introduced the floppy disk in 1971 to store microcode for the System/370. It was an 8 inch single density single sided disk with a capacity of 80,000 bytes.
How many is 1gb?
1073741824 bytes or 10243 bytes or 230 bytes
How many bytes are thre in one kilo- Bytes?
1024 bytes
How many floppy disks will be equivalent to a hard disk of 450 GB?
Its an old square disc. You must be around 14 years young!
Can a file that is 1600 KB fit on a traditional floppy disk?
Yes, but only if the disk is formatted with a smaller number of bytes per sector.
