# 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. [But there's a catch](/2023/06/04/how-to-use.html).
