IBM Floppy disk drive 1.2 MB

Advantages: Small and compact
Disadvantages: Breakable and horrible colour

...Hiya sorry about the boredom about these floppy disks first the imation 3 1/2" floppu disks and now its those pesky 3M's. Right i am sorry to say that my other batch of imation floppy disks have run out. So i phoned my supplier and i was informed by the lovely lady called charlie that they had run out. So she did suggest i try the new 3M pack of 10 floppies. Right onto the product in hand: These are the worst floppy disks i have ever purchased, the colour black is the worst ever but i must agree that floppies are the same as any other floppies. These floppy disks are not pre-formatted so you would need to format them yourself which is really time consuming, especially if you have a really important report due in the next day for the bank as i did. These floppies are not as good as the Imation series as all of these disks... Read review

Advantages: Colourful
Disadvantages: Break too easily

...I would call these Imation 1.44Mb floppies. I recently brought these from my local Argos store in Hastings as my office equipment supplier said that i place my order too late for next day delivery. I came across these floppy disks in my catalouge near to the PC pages and said that all of the other packs of floppy disks have the same amount of space which is currently 1.44Mb of storage but these ones have colour co-ordination to them and the others have not. I asked the lady at the help desk and she said that the only thing about these ones is that colour coded ones are easier to identify so you wont need to bother about looking at the label ever again. OK i said i will take those please, Only to find out when i got back to the office there were 2 of each colour: Blue, Red, Yellow, Green and Lime. a 10 pack in all. So when i got... Read review
