A floppy disk (English floppydisk) or a floppy disk is a small amount of information carrier, which is a flexible plastic disk in a protective (plastic) shell. Used to transfer data from one computer to another and to distribute software.

In the center of the floppy disk there is a device for gripping and rotating the disk inside the plastic case. A floppy disk is inserted into a disk drive that rotates the disk at a constant angular velocity.

In this case, the magnetic head of the drive is installed on a certain concentric track of the disk, on which the recording is made or from which the information is read. The information capacity of a modern floppy disk is small and amounts to only 1.44 MB. The speed of writing and reading information is also low (only about 50 KB / s) due to the slow rotation of the disk (360 rpm).

In order to preserve information, floppy magnetic disks must be protected from strong magnetic fields (for example, do not put a mobile phone next to a floppy disk) and heat, since such physical influences can lead to demagnetization of the media and loss of information.

Currently, floppy disks with the following characteristics are most widely used: diameter 3.5 inches (89 mm), capacity 1.44 MB, number of tracks 80, number of sectors on tracks 18 (Diskettes with a diameter of 5.25 "are now used very rarely, so their capacity does not exceed 1.2 MB, and besides, they are made of less durable material). up to a speed of 360 per minute. The diskette itself rotates in the drive, the magnetic heads remain stationary. The diskette rotates only when it is accessed. The drive is connected to the processor through the floppy disk controller.

Recently, three-inch floppy disks have appeared that can store up to 3 GB of information. They are made using the new Nano2 technology and require special hardware for reading and writing, which is not yet included in the standard package when buying a PC.

Floppy device

Floppy disks vary in size and capacity. By size, the division is made into floppy disks with a diameter of 5.25 "(," - the sign of an inch) and floppy disks with a diameter of 3.5". In terms of capacity - on double density floppy disks (in English doubledensity, abbreviation - DD) and high density (highdensity, abbreviation - HD).

A 5.25” floppy disk consists of a protective plastic sleeve with a magnetically coated plastic disk inside. This disk is thin and bends easily, which is why floppy disks are called floppy disks. Of course, you cannot bend a floppy disk, and this is prevented by a protective envelope. The floppy disk has two holes - a large one in the center and a small one next to it. The large hole is for rotating the magnetic coated disc inside the envelope. This is done by a motor inside the drive. The inside of the protective envelope is covered with lint, which collects dust from the magnetic disk as it rotates. The small hole is used to count the revolutions of the disk inside the disk drive. The envelope has a longitudinal slit on both sides, through which a disc with a magnetic coating is visible. Through this slot, the magnetic head inside the drive touches the drive and writes or reads data from it. Data is written to both sides of the disc. Never touch the surface of the magnetic disk with your fingers! By doing this, you can ruin it by scratching or greasy. If you turn the floppy disk with the slot facing you, label side up, you will see a small rectangular cutout on the top right side of the envelope. If you seal it with pieces of sticky paper (usually sold with floppy disks), then the disk will be write-protected. Usually this notch should be free, it should be sealed only on floppy disks with important data.

The device of a 3.5” floppy disk is slightly different. Its protective sleeve is made of hard plastic, so it is more difficult to bend or break such a floppy disk. The magnetic disk is not visible because there are no open holes. There is a slot for the magnetic head to access the disk surface, but it is covered with a latch. The latch is held closed by a spring. It is not necessary to open it with your hands in order to avoid damage to the magnetic disk. Inside the drive, the latch opens automatically. The floppy disk has a small latch for write protection. You will see it at the top left of the floppy sleeve if you hold the floppy disk with the large latch facing you, label side down. The down position for the write latch is normal, in this state the floppy disk is not write-protected. To disable writing data to the floppy, slide this latch up, which will open a small square hole in the floppy.

How to write to floppy disk

The method of recording binary information on a magnetic medium is called magnetic coding. It lies in the fact that the magnetic domains in the medium line up along the tracks in the direction of the applied magnetic field with their north and south poles. Usually, a one-to-one correspondence is established between binary information and the orientation of magnetic domains.

Information is recorded along concentric tracks (tracks), which are divided into sectors. The number of tracks and sectors depends on the type and format of the diskette. A sector stores the minimum piece of information that can be written to disk or read. The sector capacity is constant and is 512 bytes.

magnetic disk drive

The main function of the computer's external memory is the ability to store a large amount of information (programs, documents, audio and video clips, etc.) for a long time. A device that provides writing / reading information is called a drive or a drive, and information is stored on media (for example, floppy disks).

In floppy disk drives (NGMD or floppy disks) and hard disk drives (HDD or hard drives), the basis for recording, storing and reading information is the magnetic principle, and in laser disk drives - the optical principle.

Flexible magnetic disks.

Flexible magnetic disks are placed in a plastic case. This storage medium is called a floppy disk. A floppy disk is inserted into a disk drive that rotates the disk at a constant angular velocity. The magnetic head of the drive is installed on a certain concentric track of the disk, on which information is written (or read).

The information capacity of a floppy disk is small and amounts to only 1.44 MB. The speed of writing and reading information is also low (about 50 KB / s) due to the slow rotation of the disk (360 rpm).

In order to preserve information, floppy magnetic disks should be protected from strong magnetic fields and heat, as this can lead to demagnetization of the media and loss of information.

Hard magnetic disks.

Hard disk (HDD - Hard Disk Drive) refers to non-replaceable disk magnetic drives. The first hard drive was developed by IBM in 1973 and had a capacity of 16 KB.

Hard magnetic disks are several tens of disks placed on the same axis, enclosed in a metal case and rotating at a high angular velocity. Due to the many tracks on each side of the disks and a large number of disks, the information capacity of hard drives can exceed the information capacity of floppy disks by tens of thousands of times and reach hundreds of GB. The speed of writing and reading information from hard disks is quite high (about 133 MB / s) due to the fast rotation of disks (7200 rpm).

A hard drive is often referred to as a hard drive. There is a legend explaining why hard drives have such a fancy name. The first hard drive, released in America in the early 70s, had a capacity of 30 MB of information on each work surface. At the same time, the magazine rifle of O. F. Winchester, widely known in the same America, had a caliber of 0.30; maybe the first hard drive rumbled during its work like an automatic machine or it smelled of gunpowder - it’s not clear, but since then hard drives have been called hard drives.

Failures occur during the operation of the computer. Viruses, power outages, software errors - all this can cause damage to the information stored on your hard drive. Damage to information does not always mean loss of it, so it is useful to know how it is stored on the hard drive, because then it can be restored. Then, for example, if the boot area is damaged by a virus, it is not at all necessary to format the entire disk (!), but, after restoring the damaged area, continue normal work with the preservation of all your priceless data.

Hard disks use rather fragile and miniature elements. To preserve the information and performance of hard drives, it is necessary to protect them from shocks and sudden changes in spatial orientation during operation.

Laser drives and disks.

In the early 80s, the Dutch company Philips announced a revolution in the field of sound reproduction. Its engineers came up with something that is now very popular - These are laser discs and players.

Over the past few years, computer compact disc (CD) readers, called CD-ROMs, have become an almost indispensable part of any computer. This happened because a variety of software products began to take up a significant amount of space, and supplying them on floppy disks turned out to be prohibitively expensive and unreliable. Therefore, they began to be supplied on CD (the same as regular music).

Laser disk drives use the optical principle of reading information. On CD (CD - Compact Disk, compact disc) and DVD (DVD - Digital Video Disk, digital video disc) laser discs, information is recorded on one spiral track (like on a gramophone record) containing alternating sections with different reflectivity. The laser beam falls on the surface of a rotating disk, and the intensity of the reflected beam depends on the reflectivity of the track section and acquires the values ​​0 or 1. To preserve information, laser disks must be protected from mechanical damage (scratches), as well as from contamination. Laserdiscs store information that was recorded on them during the manufacturing process. Writing new information to them is not possible. Such discs are produced by stamping. There are CD-R and DVD-R discs that can only be written to once. On CD-RW and DVD-RW discs, information can be written/overwritten multiple times. Disks of different types can be distinguished not only by marking, but also by the color of the reflective surface.

Recording to CDs and DVDs using regular CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs is not possible. This requires CD-RW and DVD-RW devices that can be read-write-once and read-write-overwrite. These devices have a sufficiently powerful laser that allows you to change the reflectivity of surface areas during the recording of the disc. The information capacity of a CD-ROM reaches 700 MB, and the speed of reading information (up to 7.8 MB/s) depends on the disk rotation speed. DVDs have a much larger information capacity (single-layer single-sided disc - 4.7 GB) compared to CDs, because. lasers with a shorter wavelength are used, which allows you to place optical tracks more densely. There are also double-layer DVDs and double-sided DVDs. Reading speeds of 16-speed DVD drives are currently up to 21 MB/s.

Flash based devices.

Flash memory is a non-volatile type of memory that allows data to be written and stored on chips. Devices based on flash-memory have no moving parts, which ensures high data safety when used in mobile devices.

Flash memory is a microchip placed in a miniature package. To write or read information, the drives are connected to a computer via a USB port. The information capacity of memory cards reaches 1024 MB.
