3.5'' floppy disks are surely still known to everyone. How often did I come home from a copy session at a friend's house (of course nothing illegal going on there…) with a stack of these things, only to find out, that disk 23 of 24 had a parity problem... 😫

Basically, the 3.5'' were superior to the 5.25'' floppy disks, and not only because of the capacity, but because of clever design features, which one might not notice at first glance.

VWestlife took a closer look and summarized the most interesting features of the small magnetic disk in an equally interesting video. No groundbreaking news here, but there are things that you might not have been aware of before.
