[Term] Floppy disk [Definition] 
These are removable storage mediums that will hold just over 1 Megabyte of information. Floppy disks are an older, less stable form of data storage and should be used sparingly. Note: Floppy disks are reliable only for short-term storage and data transfers. Do not attempt long-term archiving on floppy disks. When using floppies, always make two copies of the file on two different floppies in case one malfunctions. In the unfortunate event of finding yourself unable to access data from a floppy disk, ITS staff is often able to recover files from bad disks. Please stop down to the Technology and Media Service Desk for more information.
