Hard disk is more popular than floppy disk because hard disk can store huge amount of data in term of mega byte to giga byte. It stores the data safely compared to floppy disk. External hard disk are portable so they can transfer the data from one computer to another . But floppy disk has low capacity and are vey slow compared to hard disk . It can be easily damaged when exposed to heat and dust. Files can be easily corrupted and data transfer rate is slow compared to hard disk. Nowadays, computer are built without floppy drives which is needed to read floppy disks.

How spins faster a hard disk or a floppy disk?

A modern hard disk will spin much faster than a floppy disk. A floppy disk will spin at around 300 RPM. A hard disk will vary depending on model and configuration. A mid range desktop hard disk will spin at around 7200RPM. Laptop hard disks usually run at slower speeds of 5400RMP. High end desktop and server hard disks can spin at speeds in excess of 10000RPM.

What is the purpose of the backup?

A d2d, also known as a disk-to-disk, is where a computer hard drive is backed up to another hard disk rather than a tape or a floppy. It allows for higher speed and higher capacity.

Differences between a floppy disk and a hard disk?

A floppy disk is a flexible and magnetic data storage system that is removable from the computer that can store up to 3 megabytes of data. A hard disk on the other hand is the main place that a computer stores data. It is a rotating disk that uses magnetic patterns to store data. Floppy disks have been replaced by USB flash drives.These days (2012) you will not find many floppy disks (although just a couple of years ago we had to order special floppy drives for a server because some software would only be installed if it booted from Drive: A a floppy). There were 8 inch and 5 inch and 31/2 inch floppy disks which were common. The latest (diskettes) were the smallest and were protected by a hard plastic casing. Inside a thin Mylar disk coated with a magnetic surface stored the 1.44 Mb that was the capacity of most diskettes. Hard disks have one or more aluminium or glass disks coated with magnetic surfaces. These hold much more information and now (2012) there are units that can store 3Tb or more.

What is the difference between hard disks and floppy disks?

hard disks are generally contains within the computer and contain FAR more memory than a floppy disk does. floppy disks generally contain 1.44 mb where as hard drives are constantly developing and are currently about 1TB MAX. floppy disks are external in the same way as CD's


Give two advantages of using an encyclopedia stored on CD-rom rather than on floppy disk?

The 3.5" floppy disk is defunkt now, it is rarely if ever used, so to be able to procure one would be hard and then finding a new computer on which to use it would be difficult. If a floppy disk drive is available the volume of information that can be stored on it is minimal. A floppy disk can store around 1.44Mb wheras a conventional CD can store from 600 - 800Mb.
