What is Floppy Disk?

[promisec]

A floppy disk is a magnetic storage medium for computer systems. The floppy disk is composed of a thin, flexible magnetic disk sealed in a square plastic carrier. In order to read and write data from a floppy disk, a computer system must have a floppy disk drive (FDD).

Floppy disks were used to back up important files. In the past, floppy disks were an easy way to copy information from one computer to another without transfer cables due to their portability. Special floppy disks called boot disks were used to restore a computer after an operating system failure. Legacy computer systems and other electronic devices that have not been upgraded to use modern storage may still use floppy disks to receive important software updates.

The floppy disk drive also known as floppy or FDD is the primary removable storage medium for a personal computer. The FDD, once called a mini disk, is the primary medium for getting voluminous information into and out of a micro computer system. If you have two FDDs of different storage capacities, A: In DOS and Windows the identifier used for the first floppy disk drive; the second floppy disk is designated as drive B:.

A floppy disk is nothing but a magnetic storage medium in computer systems. In olden days floppy disk is used to copy files from one computer to another computer without transfer cable. In order to read and write a floppy disk a computer must have a floppy disk drive(FDD). It is used to distribute software, transfer files, and create back-up copies of data. It also used to store the operating system of a computer.

[Hostfinch]

The floppy disk (or a 3½ floppy for today's standard) is a removable magnetic storage medium. Floppy disks are used for moving information between computers, laptops or other devices. Some early digital cameras, electronic music instruments and older computer game consoles use floppy disks. Floppy disks are inserted in to a floppy disk drive or simply floppy drive to allow data to be read or stored.
