Supercomputers do not usually use any type of floppy disk, they usually use custom made high data rate hard disks and tape drives.

Modern supercomputers would typically use a RAID system of multiple disks providing a high reliability high data rate facility that looked to the computer's OS like a single drive with a capacity of several petabytes (or possibly exabytes by the time you read this).
