The statement is correct. Floppy disks are typically 3.5″ in size (diameter) and can hold 1.44 MB of data. Earlier which is before 1984, 5.2” floppy drives (developed in 1976) were used which generally held about 360 KB of data.
Originally, floppy disks of 3.5” held only 720 KB data. Later on, IBM developed floppy disks which were capable of holding even 2.88 MB of data.
Thus, there were mainly three variants of 3.5” floppy disks, 720 KB floppy disk, floppy disk of 1.44 MB, and the floppy disk of 2.44 MB.
