Sony HiFi disc size It appears that Sony HiFi 200 MB discs (94mm x 90mm x 3.3mm) are the same dimensions as a regular floppy. This means that the Sony Mavica camera may not need to increase its own form factor at all to include the 200MB HiFi drive. Zip discs on the other hand are noticeably bigger and thicker than floppies. This bulkiness has led to having to have special Zip disc holders to file them away. The Sony HiFi it seems can be filed away in the hundreds of millions of regular floppy containers that sit on home and office shelves this very second. Evolution is never standing still. Iomega's Zip came, and now it is fading. The next solution is coming, and it is from Sony. HiFi offers twice the capacity, over twice the speed, it can replace the floppy drive slot entirely, and still not lose floppy compatibility, and is smaller too. Zip discs can be considered "bulky" next to to HiFi discs.
