<p>Shugart SA-400 Minifloppy was the first 5.25 inch floppy disk drive and each diskette would hold 89,600 bytes of data. It was introduced by Shugart Associates of Sunnyvale, California on August 27, 1976 and a single drive cost $390. The 4-pin power connector and 34-pin signal interface became the industry standard for several generations of disk drives. The 5.75 inch wide form factor is still a standard size for computer peripherals.
