whats a stiffy disk
Typically 1.4 MB.

1.44MB... They aren't that reliable which is why we now have the incredible USB! ;)

1.44 Mb
A double-sided high-density 3.5-inch floppy disk can store up to 1.44 MB of data. This capacity is achieved by using both sides of the disk, with each side able to hold 720 KB. Floppy disks were commonly used in the late 20th century for data transfer and storage, but they have since been largely replaced by more modern storage solutions.
roughly 700MB
In their basic form, floppy discs are common hard disks are the same technology. They both use magnetism to store and read data. They both use a spinning platter read by a horizontally moving read head. The key differences are that hard disks have the data and reader in the same package, this is why hard discs have evolved in storage capacity while floppy disks remained the same. It was necessary for the written layer of a floppy disk to have the same data density and dimensions as they had to be compatible with floppy disk drives. However with hard discs the drives and read heads could evolve along side the data layer. Hard discs now have metal platers, and store data at a much higher density. The speed of the mechanisms are much much faster. New technologies such as perpendicular storage can be added and have no impact on compatibility.

Backing up data to disk can be rather time consuming depending on how much data one needs to transfer on to disk. Most computers have a backup facility where one would follow a set on on-screen instructions. Alternatively, one can copy and paste data from folders to the disk.

A 5.25-inch floppy disk typically has a storage capacity of 360 KB to 1.2 MB, depending on the specific format used. The most common version, the double-sided, double-density (DSDD) disk, can store 360 KB, while the high-density (DSHD) version can hold up to 1.2 MB. These capacities are significantly lower than modern storage media, which can hold gigabytes or terabytes of data.
