floppy disk
A floppy disk is one of many kinds of computer file storage device Like the hard disk on your computer, a floppy disk will allow you to save a copy of a file to it Floppy disks have the advantage of being portable This allows files to be opened on different computers Compared to other storage devices they are quite 'small' This means their capacity to store files is limited (to 1 4Mb) They are still more than adequate for most people's needs, such as storing word processed documents
floppy disk
A removable storage medium Standard 3 5 inch floppy disks can store just over 1MB of information Because floppies have been the most widely used removable storage medium since the mid-to-late 1980s, they are the most convenient way to transfer files between computers

flop·py disk floppy disks in BRIT, also use floppy disc A floppy disk is a small magnetic disk that is used for storing computer data and programs. Floppy disks are used especially with personal computers. A flexible plastic disk coated with magnetic material and covered by a protective jacket, used primarily by computers to store data magnetically. Also called diskette. or diskette Magnetic storage medium used with computers. Floppy disks are made of flexible plastic coated with a magnetic material, and are enclosed in a hard plastic case. They are typically 3.5 in. (9 cm) in diameter. Data are arranged on their surfaces in concentric tracks. A disk is inserted in the computer's floppy disk drive, an assembly of magnetic heads and a mechanical device for rotating the disk for reading or writing purposes. A small electromagnet, called a magnetic head, writes a binary digit (1 or 0) onto the disk by magnetizing a tiny spot on the disk in different directions, and reads digits by detecting the magnetization direction of the spots. With the increasing use of e-mail attachments and other means to transfer files from computer to computer, the use of floppy disks has waned, though they are still widely used to keep second (backup) copies of valuable files

floppy disk
A form of portable data storage - an electronic briefcase The standard floppy disk is now the hard cased 3 5" disk which is neither floppy nor disk-shaped (until you crack it open) Previously, there was the 5" floppy that was cased in paper Floppies most often fit into the A: or B: drive in the front of your computer (The C: drive is the internal hard disk and the D: drive is now commonly the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive) There are two drive letters allocated to the floppy because for a while computers had drives for both the 5" (A: ) and the 3 5" (B: ) disks before the latter became standard
floppy disk
A floppy disk is a thin piece of magnetically coated mylar enclosed in a plastic jacket Modern floppies are 3 5 inches in size and hold 1 44 Mb of data Such a disk is capable of storing approximately 1 4 million characters, or about 3,000 pages of information This may sound like a lot, but it fills up surprisingly fast, especially if you have included graphics in your documents
