What is the difference between a floppy and a hard disk?
assistant
The main difference between a floppy disk and a hard disk is that a floppy disk uses magnetic storage, while a hard disk uses electronic storage. A floppy disk has a much smaller storage capacity than a hard disk, typically around 1-4 megabytes. Hard disks are more durable and reliable than floppy disks as they do not easily break or wear out.
