I think they had 1.2 MB, and the smaller, some newer floppy disks 1.44 MB.
Some day I copied the most important ones to a hard disk, later to DVD, and destroyed them to avoid data theft.
I doubt about 1.44 but really cannot remember the HighDensity capacity nor can I find info about it... @deathcross is suggesting 1.2 which is stored somewhere in my brain too [about this case] :D
It may have been more the disk drive and advances in that tech that allowed the advance, so in a sense they probably always could store more than 1/2 a MB-ish but lacked the drive to do it. 😎
Maybe your answer is most correct, so now I remember how it was :D
There were a lot of errors when reading with optimised space... too sensitive floppy disk with high density format.
Yeah. Fun flashback. There is a box or two of mine still hanging around. Can't throw them out. My hope, at this point, is that aliens have the tech to read them. "HODLer since birth", me Mom always said. 😎

I go for 1.2, not sure at all yet :) Doubt followed after posting...
Need to give it a vote myself :D

1,5mb if not more.

Kind of a trick question as they started out holding less than 1/2 a Mb and then were able to hold more later. Over an Mb if memory serves.
I thought I knew the answer :)))
