SSDD |
SSDD originally referred to Single Sided, Double Density - a format of (usually 5¼ ) floppy disk which could typically hold 35-40 tracks of nine 512-byte (or 18 256-byte) sectors each. Only one side of the disc was used, although some users did discover that punching additional holes into the disc jacket would allow the creation of a flippy disc which could be manually turned over to store additional data on the reverse side.
Single-sided disks began to become obsolete soon after the introduction of the original IBM 5150 PC in 1981, which used 360Kb double-sided double-density drives.
SSDD can also refer to the saying Same shit, different day or the webcomic [http://www.poisonedminds.com/ Poisoned minds].
