What else can I help you with?
Which holds more info a floppy disk or a compact disk?
Compact disk do
Can you store 2000 KB of data in a floppy?
No, Floppy disks can hold no more than 1440kb of info...
Is a floppy disk bigger than a super disk?
No, a floppy disk is not bigger than a SuperDisk. A standard 3.5-inch floppy disk typically has a storage capacity of 1.44 MB, while a SuperDisk, which is often 3.5 inches in size but designed to hold more data, can store up to 120 MB or more. Therefore, in terms of storage capacity, the SuperDisk far exceeds that of a standard floppy disk.
Why can you store more data onto a CD than a floppy disk?
Because a CD was designed to hold more data.
How did the word CD come about?
CD = compact disk. As opposed to large floppy disks. A disk because it's round. Compact because it'll hold so much more data than a floppy.
Flash drives have replaced floppy disks as the perferred method of portable storage because?
They can hold more data than floppy disks and computers aren't really made with floppy disk entrances :)
What will corrupt data save on a floppy disk?
If you put it on a floppy disk. It's a storage device nothing more. By the way flashdrives are smaller and store a lot more data.
A CD holds how much more than a floppy disk?
A cD holds 600 times more than a floppy disc.
How many floppy disks does it take to hold 700 mb?
To hold 700 MB of data, you would need approximately 450 floppy disks. This calculation is based on the standard capacity of a 3.5-inch floppy disk, which is 1.44 MB. Therefore, dividing 700 MB by 1.44 MB per disk gives you about 486 disks, but considering practical storage and formatting, around 450 is a more realistic estimate.
Does A hard disk provides much less storage capacity than a floppy disk or zip disk?
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.
What are the disadvantages of using a floppy disk as a medium of storage?
The biggest disadvantage is that it has very little storage capacity. The maximum storage capacity of a (last generation) floppy disk is around 240 megabytes. A USB stick, CD, or DVD-ROM can all hold much more than this. Secondly, fewer and fewer computer termnials are being manufactured with floppy disk drives, since they have been replaced by other storage methods. This means it is hard to get your data off the disk. Thirdly, floppy disks are more easily corruptible than other methods of data storage.
How frequently should you format a floppy disk?
As little as possible. Floppy disks are prone to corruption and should be accessed as little as possible. It would be generally advised that no data should be stored on a floppy disk, and that any data you have on floppy disk should be removed and backed up on a more reliable format such as flash memory.
