Acer Floppy disk drive 1.44 MB

Advantages: ALMOST NOTHING
Disadvantages: ALMOST EVERYTHING

...FLOPPY DISK A very good device to save some of your stuff. 1.44mb is not much of a very big space. It is not worth it but the price you pay is comparatively small. There are more devices like USB and Mp3 players which costs just bit more and gives more space. To be precise in 1.44 mb you can just save about ONE or two JPG image. if u need something to save your project in or which you might need for long it is not worth it. it is worth for some one who just wants to save some word documents. The another disadvantage which is kind of a major one is that the laptops don't have a floppy drive built in. You need an external Floppy drive to make this thing work in the laptop. Hope this is useful.... Read review

Disadvantages: will need a zip drive, not all computers will have them

...INTRODUCTION For those of you who don't know what a Iomega Zip 250 USB Powered is, it is a portable storage device which accepts disks roughly double the thickness of a standard floppy disk. They store about 70 times the amount of data than a standard 1.44MB floppy disk does. The device is a small, lightweight and attractive looking device that can be easily placed near your computer without taking up much desk space. The good thing about the device is that it is powered from your computer's USB port and requires no additional mains plug or batteries. DISKS TO BE USED WITH THIS DEVICE There are various disks that can be used in the device. Only ZIP compatable ones though that can vary in size from 25MB, 100MB to 250MB.
