High capacity floppy disks

while the traditional floppy disk is very reliable and still widely used to store data , it has very limited capacity. While 1.44 MB is fine for many text and spreadsheet files, it is not sufficient to hold larger files. For example, many Powerpoint presentation files exceed 1.44 MB. Most multimedia applications require even greater capacity. High capacity disks, also known as floppy disk cartridges, are rapidly replacing the traditional floppy disk. Like the traditional floppy, the high capacity disks are 3 ½ inches in diameter. However, they are able to store more information, are thicker, and require special disk drives. The three best known high capacity disks are Zip, HiFD, and SuperDisks.
