The problem is that marketing named them!
so we have single density, double density, quad density
(mostly seen in the cp//m world), and HD never mind the
sector size variations and layout.
I also left out the oddball drives like 35track and 100tpi.
To some extent, the problem also exists in 3.5" drives. Original
3.5" drives, such as the Sony 0AD, recorded with a track spacing at
67.5 tpi, rather than today's 135 tpi. Fortunately, most people
just want to read the old media, not write it.
