The LS-120 drive rotates slightly faster than a standard floppy drive, and will transfer data at 565 KB per second, compared to about 60 KB per second for a standard floppy. The LS-120 disks also use a different medium and magnetic pigment, and more precisely engineered parts. All of these contribute to its higher capacity and faster performance.
