HiFD
Short for High Floppy Disk, a type of high-density floppy disk developed by Sony that can hold 200 MB of data. Like the competing SuperDisk disk drive from Imation, HiFD disk drives can read and write old 1.44 MB floppy disks in addition to the new high-density disks. HiFD drives support data transfer rates of up to 3.6 MBps.
