The drive speed of 720 RPM and transfer rate of 655 KB/sec. The increased capacity of the 120 MB drive is 83 times that of a standard 1.44 MB floppy. The read/write disettes work the same as regular diskettes, right down to the write protect chicklette. The disk is slightly thicker, but not noticably so. The drive door is triangular in shape instead of rectangular. The LS-Technology 3.5 inch micro diskette looks similar to the standard 1.44 MB floppy diskette.
The drives will be available for laptops soon, and will be featured in the NEC Versa. The drive accepts all three capacity floppy disks: 720 KB, 1.44 MB and 120 MB.
In fact, LS-120 drives fit into a standard one inch high 3.5 inch floppy drive slot on a computer. The LS-120 Technology drive looks like any other floppy drive from the outside.

Portable drive technology with the parallel interface is supported by Shuttle. Media is being supplied by 3M and Maxell. Drive suppliers include OR Technology, Panasonic, and Mitsubishi. The technology was developed by the Imation division of 3M, a large and respectable company. The diskettes are similar in look, feel, use, and storage to the diskettes that everyone is used to. Even with the older style floppies the information transfer is improved appreciably. The drive runs five times faster than a standard floppy drive. So why should we care? The new drive holds 83 times the capacity of a standard 3.5 inch diskette, fits in the same drive space and location as a traditional drive, and it is a bootable drive.

LS-120 is the same simple floppy you already know how to use - just faster and roomier - and backed by a consortium of global technology leaders. Only the LS-120 drive can give you 120 MB of floppy capacity, higher performance, and the ability to read and write 1.44 MB and 720 KB floppies you use all the time. Take a good look at the next PC you buy and make sure its floppy drive has the LS-120 Advantage: hassle-free, high-capacity storage. The first high capacity storage system compatible with 3.5" diskettes. Hard drive capacity doubles every 18 months or faster, so why has floppy drive capacity been dormant for so long? You would think that the lessons of the one minute mile would teach even young technicians that there are no limits. The writing has been on the wall for over 10 years.

It is about time that someone came up with the next upgrade to floppy drive capacity.

Evidence for this in supported by the Iomega Zip Drive with 100 MB capacity that everyone was willing to pay over $200 to purchase, along with a SCSI or Parallel interface, and software drivers to used these portable and in system drives to copy off larger data files. It is overdue that the 120 MB drive be introduced as the new standard. At the same time the capacity of the disk has gone from 88 KB, to 160 KB, to 400 KB to 800 KB to 1.2 MB to 1.44 MB and now to 120 MB. In the past 20 years, the microcomputer floppy disk has gone from 8 inches, to 5.25 inches, to 3.5 inches in size. One single brilliant innovation that paved the way for the microcomputer revolution, for without the random access needed to provide inexpensive, convenient and fast access to data, the microcomputer was inconvenient and too expensive for the individual user. This small innovation of fast random access memory that we now call external RAM which allowed magnetic encoding of information suited to the computer, made the computer as easy to use as a tape recorder of VCR. In the late 1970's, the floppy drive was first married to a microcomputer by Steve Wozniac of Apple Computers.
