\nQuestion: How much data or information can the 1.44MB floppy disk hold in practical terms, such as a number of pages in a book?<\/i>
\nAnswer: 3.5-inch floppy diskettes hold 1.44 megabytes of information, which is about 1.5 million text characters, or 700 pages of straight text. When using compression software, the floppy’s storage can increase five-fold. Using uncompressed files, one disk can hold six seconds of low-quality video. A CD-ROM stores 650 megabytes, which is equal to 450 floppy diskettes, or roughly one hour of low-quality video. A DVD-ROM holds 4.7 gigabytes of information, or 2 hours and 13 minutes of full-screen digital video. Final tally: 1 DVD-ROM = 7 CD-ROMs = 3,157 floppy diskettes I don’t think I’ve ever owned 1000 diskettes at one time, have I? I’m all for dumping floppies and the drives that hold them. Instead, we can use USB or card readers to transfer data.<\/b><\/p>\n
Told you..useless info..besides I will take the floppy drive anyday. At least that I know it works when needed.<\/p>\n
