Question

Which stores more: a zip disk, floppy or Cd

Answer 1

Never heard of a zip disk. A floppy is pretty much c**p.

CD depending on the quality.

Answer 2

CDs hold about 600mb

Floppies hold 1.44mb if they're high density

Zip disks (which look like really big floppies) originally held 100mb. Later, their capacity was improved to 250mb and then 750mb (!) but the technology died before they could become very popular.

Winner: CD-ROM.

Answer 3

Zip Disk - is a sophisticated floppy disk which stores up to 250 Mb of information. This is a much greater capacity than an ordinary 3.5 floppy disk of 1.4 Mb. You need a Zip Drive to be able to use a Zip disk.

Floppy Disk - A floppy disk is small portable magnetic diskette in a plastic holder used to store information. This is also called "3½ Floppy (A:/)". It can store form 1.38Mb -1.44 Mb.

A Compact Disc (also known as a CD) is an optical disc used to store digital data, originally developed for storing digital audio.Standard CDs have a diameter of 120 mm and can hold up to 80 minutes of audio. There is also the Mini CD, with diameters ranging from 60 to 80 mm; they are sometimes used for CD singles, storing up to 24 minutes of audio.CD can store up to 700-750Mb.

So obviously, CD stores more data.

good luck!

Answer 4

Go with the CD. Zips and floppys are too outdated, CDs are most reliable these days.
