The access time of a floppy disk typically ranges from 100 to 300 milliseconds. This time includes the latency for the disk to spin to the correct position and the time taken to read or write data. Due to the mechanical nature of floppy disks, their access times are significantly slower compared to modern storage devices like SSDs and HDDs.

Is a floppy disk attracted to a magnet?

The 3.5 floppy disk does have magnetism within them and for this reason, magnets destroying data on the floppy disk fueled the myth about magnets destroying your computer. If you buy a cheap magnet and put it near a floppy disk, the magnet will stick to it. After a few seconds, the information on that floppy disk will be destroyed and you will no longer be able to access the data.

Why is a hard disk's access time faster that a floppy disk's?

A hard disk's access time is faster than a floppy disk's primarily due to its design and technology. Hard disks use magnetic platters that spin at high speeds, allowing for quicker read/write operations, while floppy disks have slower, less efficient mechanisms. Additionally, hard disks feature more advanced data retrieval systems, such as faster read/write heads and higher data density, leading to reduced latency. These factors collectively enable hard disks to access data much more rapidly compared to floppy disks.

What you inside a floppy disk into a so that data stored in the floppy disk can be read?

To read a floppy disk, you insert a floppy disk into a floppy disk drive. Not all computers have floppy disk drives. Typically desktop computers or ones that stand on the floor have floppy disk drives. New machines today allow a USB thumb drive (USB flash memory storage device) to be used in place of a floppy drive. All modern computersy have USB connections. If you need to read a floppy disk and you computer does not have a floppy disk drive, you can purchase a USB connected floppy disk drive for your computer.
