# Floppy disks compatible with the Apple II Drive 2023-06-05 Although 5.25 #floppy disks are still available for purchase, there are different specifications, and not all of them work with the #Disk-II drive. For example, the more "modern" high-density (HD) disks **will not** work. The correct specification is: - Double Density (DD) - Single Side (SS) or Double Side (DS) - 48 tpi Whether you choose Single or Double Side, it doesn't matter. But DS means that both sides of the disk can be used, and that's why I always buy and use Double Side.
