(high density, IBM PC format)
Despite common reference to them as "1.44" megabyte (mB) disks, the actual capacity of the most common model of a 3&-in (8.9 cm) floppy disk is 11,796,500 bits. At the height of their use 1996, there were an estimated five billion disks in use — nearly one for each person on Earth at the time.
