About these units
DVD (2 layer, 2 side) (DVD (2L, 2S))
The dual-layer, double-sided DVD provides the maximum DVD capacity: 17.1 GB. With two layers on each side, these discs offered exceptional storage for large software packages, high-definition video masters (before Blu-ray), and professional archival applications. However, they were rarely used in consumer markets due to cost, complexity, and the inconvenience of double-sided handling. They remain an interesting pinnacle of DVD engineering—pushing the medium to its physical limits.
Floppy Disk (5.25", DD) (floppy (5.25" DD))
The 5.25-inch DD floppy stored roughly 360 KB (IBM PC) or 1.2 MB (Apple II and others) depending on format. These flexible disks dominated early personal computing in the 1980s. They were physically fragile but offered an affordable way to distribute software, operating systems, and games. The vast majority of early PC software—from Lotus 1-2-3 to original DOS versions—shipped on 5.25" disks. Their shape and texture became symbols of the early PC revolution, despite their low reliability, susceptibility to dust, and limited capacity.
