What is the capacity of an extra-high density floppy disk?
JoeChristensen
4mb unformatted, 2.88mb formatted (depending on format, of course).
Toshiba made a model PMF-2ED "4MB Extra High Density" also marked "ED". Here is a picture of one:

(I'm fixing to auction 110 of them, so I googled around to find out how common they were).

∙ 7y agoThe most common ones most people are familiar with were 1.44MB, but there were many sizes of "floppy disk" from about a hundred kilobytes to a couple hundred megabytes.
Nowadays, the answer is 1.44 for a double sided high density 3.5" floppy disk. This answer is quite different for other types of floppy disks. There are single sided, double sided, single density, double density, high density , 5.25", 3.5", and 8" floppy disks just to name a few of the many, MANY variations.
* low density capacity: 360 kbytes * hi density capacity : 720 kbytes * double hi density: 1.44 megabytes
There are other (rare) formats that can hold more.

∙ 9y agoA high density floppy disk will hold 1. 44 MB of data. Not many people use floppy disks any longer.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThere are several standards , I remember most often seeing 1,44 Mb bur do also remember 2,88 Mb
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoNormally is 1.44 MB
There is a special super floppy disk that is included with digital cameras that can hold 120 MB.

What is obsolete computer equipment?
An example of an obsolete computer part is the Floppy Drive/ Floppy Disk.
When was the floppy disk intoduced?
The original floppy was an 8 inch, single sided disk first developed in the late 1960's as a result of research efforts by IBM. The first floppy disk drive systems became commercially available in 1971. They cost more than a new PC costs today.The floppy disk was introduced in the 1970's, and it revolutionized data storage in the PC. It ran strongly for some time, but faded in the 1990's. It is rare to see a working machine being used in this day and age with a floppy drive in it. Wikipedia has more information, and you'll find a link to their post just down the page below this answer.1971According to wikipedia; IBM introduced 8-inch floppy disk (read-only) in 1971...
What can a floppy disc do?
how does floppy disk funtion? Storing data in range of 70 KB - 2880 KBA floppy disc contains a single disc of film. This film contains a track of bits, rather like a record, which can be flipped by magantism. When the disk is inserted into the disk drive the shutter is opened and the read heads move into place at the centre of the disk. The film disc is locked into the spindle and the film disc is spun at a constant speed. The read heads then read the desired area of the disc, and gradually move from the centre outwards, just like on a record player. The read heads are held a microscopic distance from the film and read the magnetic state of each bit as they pass the head, which is turned into data. When a floppy disk is being written to, the read heads cause the magnetic bits to "flip" as necessary.
Should you keep computer files?
I don't. I use either a floppy or a disk.
How are tracks on a floppy disk arranged?
The tracks on a floppy disk are arranged in concentric circles from the center outwards. The read-write heads can therefore jump from track 1 to say 10 without moving through the tracks in between.
High-density floppy disk has a storage capacity of?
The floppy disk which is commonly referred to as a high density floppy disk is a 3.5 inch disk. It has a storage capacity of 1.44 MB.
What has a storage capacity of 1.44 MB?
A standard high density double-sided floppy disk holds about 1.44 mb.
When was the SDSS floppy disk introduced?
IBM introduced the floppy disk in 1971 to store microcode for the System/370. It was an 8 inch single density single sided disk with a capacity of 80,000 bytes.
What is the capacity of the floppy disks?

Nowadays, the answer is 1.44 for a double sided high density 3.5" floppy disk. This answer is quite different for other types of floppy disks. There are single sided, double sided, single density, double density, high density , 5.25", 3.5", and 8" floppy disks just to name a few of the many, MANY variations. * low density capacity: 360 kbytes * hi density capacity : 720 kbytes * double hi density: 1.44 megabytes There are other (rare) formats that can hold more.
Why the capacity of hard disk is very large as compared to floppy disk?
The reason is that the technology of the days the floppy disk was not as advanced as of today.
Can music be saved on a floppy disk?
Yes. But keep in mind that the capacity of a floppy disk is very small. It would be difficult to fit a full-length song at a decent quality on a floppy disk.
