Does anyone know/remember the actual read/write speed of floppy disks? I want to use this as a tidbit for arguing how painfully slow our Sharepoint server is, but all the websites with information about the disks don't seem to have the actual speeds they worked at.
IIRC,
The controllers at the end where rated 500kbps to 1Mbps for most modern floppy controllers older ones had about 250 kbps.
The actual disks always maxed out around 100-250kbps and I've never seen above 250kbps on a floppy.
Read speeds could reach higher but I've never seen close to a controllers max. Not the best answer perhaps but some insight for you.
