What this product is

This pack contains ten 3.5-inch high-density double-sided floppy diskettes from Maxell, each offering 1.44 MB of formatted storage capacity. They are intended for users who maintain or operate legacy systems that still rely on 3.5-inch floppy drives for data transfer, boot media, or archival purposes.

Practical limits of the floppy interface

The 1.44 MB formatted capacity represents the maximum usable space on each diskette when prepared for standard PC use, while the unformatted specification is listed as 2 MB. Actual stored data will always be lower than the formatted figure due to file-system overhead, and the magnetic media is sensitive to environmental factors such as heat, humidity, and strong magnetic fields.

The specification that decides fit

The pack quantity of ten disks is the primary factor for buyers who need a small, ready-to-use supply for occasional legacy tasks. If a project requires a larger volume of media or a different storage format, this package will not meet that requirement.
