Floppy Disks

With a floppy disk drive you can format and use double-sided (or

single-sided) double-density (or high-density) floppy disks.

One double-sided doubledensity 5.25” floppy disk can store up to

360KB of data One double-sided high density 5.25” floppy disk can

store up to 1.2MB of data. Besides, one standard 3.5” floppy disk can

store up to 720KB of data.

One high density 3.5” floppy disk can store

up to 1.44MB of data.

Table 1-2: Floppy Disk Specifications

Note:

•

Only high-density floppy disks can be formatted to high

capacities of either 1.2M for 5.25” or 1.44M for 3.5” floppy

disks. You may lose data if you use a low-density floppy

disk formatted for high density.

•

You can’t use a high-density disk in a low-density disk drive.
