no one uses floopy disks anymore
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.
A standard high density double-sided floppy disk holds about 1.44 mb.
There are no tracks on it until you put tracks on it.
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.
You can identify a high-density 3.5-inch floppy disk by checking its label or markings. High-density disks typically have a storage capacity of 1.44 MB and are often labeled as "HD" or "1.44MB." Additionally, you can look at the disk itself; high-density disks usually have a darker casing compared to low-density (720 KB) disks, which may be gray or lighter in color. Lastly, high-density disks have a small hole on the back side that allows the drive to detect the disk type.
224 for a 3 1/2 inch floppy
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.
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.
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).
Last century when desktop computers were invented they stored information on floppy disks. The last of the floppy disk to be used could take 1.44Megabyte. These days we have USB drives which will take 8Gigabyte or about 7 000 times a high density diskette
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.
There is no 5.14 floppy. A 5.25 or 5 1/4 inch 80‑track high-density floppy can store 1.2 megabytes of data. The older 40 track floppy drives were able to store 360 kilobytes.
