SEGD uses multiple files per seismic line with variable block lengths and extended headers, while SEGY uses a single file per line with fixed block lengths and a limited header; additionally, SEGD can be multiplexed or demultiplexed and is not disk friendly, whereas SEGY is always demultiplexed and disk friendly.

Multiple files for a seismic line (one file per shot)
Variable block length Concept of larger headers and extended headers for recordingadditionalparameters Can be both multiplexed and demultiplexed Non disk friendly format
SEGY
Usually a single file per line
Fixed blocks after the 3200, and 400 byte headers Fixed length header (not much room in the header) Is always demultiplexed Disk friendly format
