Everything about Disk density
Storage density for magnetic disks
Disk density is a capacity designation on magnetic storage, usually floppy disks. Each designation describes a set of characteristics that can affect the areal density of a disk or the efficiency of data encoding. Such characteristics include modulation method, track width, coercivity, and magnetic field direction. Wikipedia →
