The Smith Corona disks are confusingly labeled 'DataDisk 2.8 inch', presumably referring to the size of the medium inside the hard plastic case.The Quick Disk was also used in several MIDI keyboards and MIDI samplers of the mid 1980s. Mitsumi's '3 -inch' Quick Disk media were also used in a 3-inch×3-inch housing for many Smith Corona word processors.

Most FDS disks did not have cover protection to prevent media contamination, but a later special series of five games did include a protective shutter. The FDS package of Mitsumi's Quick Disk used a 3-inch×4-inch plastic housing called the 'Disk System Card'. Nintendo packaged the 2.8-inch magnetic media in a 3-inch×4-inch housing, while others packaged the same media in a 3 inch×3 inch sq housing.The Quick Disk's most successful use was in Nintendo's Famicom Disk System. The Quick Disk uses a 2.8-inch magnetic media, break-off write-protection tabs (one for each side), and contains a see-through hole near center spindle (used to ensure spindle clamping). Mitsumi offered this as OEM equipment, expecting their VAR customers to customize the packaging for their own particular use disks thus vary in storage capacity and casing size.

The Quick Disk format is referred to in various size references: 2.8-inch, 3-inch×3-inch and 3-inch×4-inch.
